I've been trying and trying to set up this kind of life......
Oh, how much I wish this life was in my grasp.  I, we, have been dealing with some pretty intense emotional circumstances.  After all my posts about my Lord helping me through, I have now a whole other set of issues to work through.  I know God works in amazing, unforseen ways to strengthen us.  Lord, continue to teach me things I cannot possibly begin to see or understand.  I am looking forward to the day I look back and say, "so this is what that was all about!"
I trust you Lord to get me through this!!

Fountain Hills, AZ....
Feels like a place to call home one day.  This is a pic of the fountain; I'm told it was built as the world's largest but now is in 4th place.  Funny how people think to do something like this.  It is an oasis in a hot, dry land. 
The first time I ventured into this town, I knew it was a place to visit often and possibly even land in.  We are considering moving this direction.

Fountain Hills is four miles from one of my new favorite places, McDowell park.  I have now been learning all about mountain biking.  The trails at McDowell are perfect!

Not that I ever thought I would exercize - but it is a form of exercize I seem to be addicted to.  When out on the trail, I feel like I am going to die... (uphill); coming back down is worth all the effort!

What a great feeling to know I did it!

In this new chapter of my life, somehow I think I will do many new things and see many great places.
I'm so excited to have some adventure.  I'm so happy to have a life partner.
Through all the trials, we stand strong together, supporting, encouraging and loving each other!

I'm so thankful for what God has done for us in our lives.  He brought us together at the perfect time!
