Buying a home can be very streeful, looking, finding, sorting out the finances etc. Applying for oans, reading credit scores… I dont know about you but I hate getting my credit score. I somehow think that someone will steal my identity and run up debt in my name. Thank the Lord it […]

Dear Friends
Here is a link to a website that tells of a very special lady’s mission to Thailand. Krystle was our children’s nanny while she was attending her senior years in high school & summers when we lived in Colorado Springs.
She has since completed college and is working as a social worker for a […]
