Oh, and you mentioned my "under construction blog" when you e-mailed me I have not started one yet because I don't know where to start a blog at. I am good at writing research papers for school, but I am not so sure about blogs.amysahoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073457484324537468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-69128254234865801132009-09-30T10:59:54.791-04:002009-09-30T10:59:54.791-04:00I am so happy for you guys!

I know he is rejoicing in heaven and I hope he meets my Daddy up there. There were so many things alike (birthdays on the same day and death two weeks to the day apart) that I just know they have to meet. Anxiously awaiting pictures of Manteo and the house you will be getting. What happened to the one you found out about just as you were leaving the first trip--one that needed some work? God bless as you rest, relax, and head back to Manteo. Hope Steve is feeling better by tonight.

Those 2 days were very busy and stressful! Just seeing the picture that says "welcome rev. Steve & Becky Smith" gave me palpitations! I know this was a very, very important time for you. I'm glad Steve got the position and I'm already looking forward to reading all about your new adventures in Manteo :)<br /><br />Congrats again!Marysienkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185620350459144898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-13130958196839162872009-09-29T16:16:01.211-04:002009-09-29T16:16:01.211-04:00Honestly Becky, I'm not religous whatsoever, b...Honestly Becky, I'm not religous whatsoever, but I have been reading your blog and Sarah's Caringbridge page for close to 5 years.

Hoorah! :)<br /><br />I also have a question - ever since you started talking about going to Manteo to do a service, I've wondered what Steve would say in his sermon. It seems like such a huge, stressful ordeal, having to come up with words and a message for an 'interview sermon'!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-62801208303604146742009-09-29T15:36:42.648-04:002009-09-29T15:36:42.648-04:00All your emotions and exhaustion is completely und...All your emotions and exhaustion is completely understandable and reasonable. I hope you all take a few days to rest. What you went through this past weekend, albeit in one of God's most beautiful settings, the seaside, was excrutiatingly taxing and mentally draining. BUT YOU DID IT!!!<br /><br />Becky, of course your dad knows right where you are and what you all have accomplished - wasn't it soon after he passed away that you were invited to come to Manteo for that first meeting? Who do you think was working on that one for you - your Dad has a lot of time and energy in Heaven, help him use it. I understand the hurt of not being able to share this with him in "person" and hear the happiness in his voice. Now, get your Dad going on the next phase. Request some guidance on finding a place to live that you will love and someone who will love and buy the house you are in now! I am so happy for you. Glad you are out of the hallway!MaryHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935312892447559573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-70802385745302919292009-09-29T14:30:17.889-04:002009-09-29T14:30:17.889-04:00I am SO impressed that you got an update done toda...I am SO impressed that you got an update done today with being so tired.

Have I mentioned that I am insanely jealous that you get to live there? Really and truly. These Utah mountains are beautiful and all, but I am a water girl and have always dreamed of living next to the ocean - particularly a warm one that I can swim in in the summer (the Pacific is cold cold cold, even in August - at least off the coast of Oregon it is).<br /><br />I hope you get some more rest before heading back to Manteo this weekend.brookehttp://rivervision.com/noreply@blogger.com
