We had a wonderful Memorial Weekend. Our son Michael got married to Angie. Michael has had a long journey to get to this point in his life. He has over come addiction to drugs and the lifestyle that goes with it. Needless to say God took some time answering my prayers but He did answer them. I praise His name for making all this possible.

We were so happy to celebrate with friends and family. We are lucky to have four of our five children living here in the Spokane area. They were a big help with the preparation of the food and getting the hall decorated and cleaned up after.  Our daughter, Amanda, and her husband came from Louisiana. The visit was a short one but we were glad they could come.

Today started quietly around 5:30 am when the dog decided he had waited long enough to go out. I got on the computer to wait until he wanted to come back in and found myself into some genology sites. I have to say that it stayed quiet until about 6:30 am when my husband got up and was getting ready to go to breakfast with his dad. (A Saturday morning ritual I have in the past resented... but now completly understand why it is an important thing for him and his 83 year old dad.) 

I started blubbering to him about finding some information about my Kashishian family inadvertently from a website his cousin had sent me. I am such an emotion fool at times and he just did not get why I was happy and sad at the same time. I knew I would just have to wait until I talked to my daughter Amanda Marita  later in the day. I knew she would share my joy and my sadness.

So this day is coming to an end,, my oldest grandaughter, Fayth, called and wanted to spend the night and go to church with me in the morning. Since they live in a small town north of us about 30 miles away I met her mom half way to help save her gas. I have talked to Amanda  , if only for a few and told her of my days find and she will call back to get more details. I am so blessed.

I am thankful that one click of the computers mouse that  has brought me to a small reconnection with my family.

I thank the Lord for all His goodness in my life.
