Singing His Praises

I had an audition today at church to sing with one of the many praise teams they have. Everything went very well, however, they have more vocalists than band members and I think they may want me to sing with the kids praise team for a while until a spot opens up. At the same time Jorge will be able to serve as well. There is a need for someone to run sound equipment during the kids service and I know he will be great at it.

Keep us in your prayers that God will use us where he needs us.

Electrical Fencing

Okay, today we thought we almost lost Jewel. Jorge let her out to got tinkle this morning and the next thing you know...she was gone. Jorge looked for her all morning and even went to get Chris out of school early to help look for her. She's done this before...numerous times! However, she's never been gone this long before. Poor Jorge, he was so distraught and I was no help. I was so mad that she took off and took it out on Jorge. I have a lot of making up to do!

I got a call around 12:30pm that someone had found her over two miles from the house! I was so relieved and called Jorge who then went to pick her up. She is our baby and we would all be devistated if we lost her. To eliminate this problem in the future, we will be installing underground electrical dog fencing this weekend at our house. Hopefully she won't take off through that!

First Blog Post

Hi Everyone! This is our first family Blog. We thought we'd keep everyone up to date this way. Here's what's happening at the Valentin House.

Chris and Jose are on Spring Break this week. Jose has been working and is now looking for a body kit for his car for his b-day. Chris has taken up the electric guitar and has had his first lesson. He's very good and picking it up quickly.

Jorge and I just returned from Kentucky attending my aunt's funeral. She passed away from a painful 5 months of lung cancer. She is now with her Lord and Savior tending God's garden. Praise God for ending her suffering.

Wedding plans are coming along as well. Everything is done and we hope to see everyone there. We hated to change the date so last minute, however, there was no way around it. Again, it won't be the same without everyone there.

Honeymoon plans are still in the air, but we are planning a trip sometime this year. Hope everyone is alright and know we all miss you.
