Hello all. It's been a month since my last post and several things have happened since then. It is with sadness that I must report that Hugh's mother passed away on Feb. 6th. The girls were very sad to lose their sweet Grandma, and I was sad to lose her too. She was such a sweet lady, and to have had as many problems as she had, she never complained. She went peacefully, and for that I am grateful. She will be sorely missed. Now, on to more exciting news. We will be closing on the loan for our new house on Wednesday, and construction will begin shortly thereafter. Today is my birthday and it is also president's day, so the girls are off from school. My birthday present to myself was not having to drag myself out of bed early to get the girls to school. Well, that's the latest news from the Garner household. Please continue to pray for us as we continue to adjust to life without Hugh's mother, and as we begin construction on our dream house. God bless- Julie
