Indianola

Hello All~

I know it has been a while since I have written. I have just been so busy in life that I didn't take the time to write. Shame on me, I know, I know.

Good news, my book that I wrote has already been asked to be seen by one literary agency. The great news about this was it happened within a 24 hour time frame of when I sent out my query letter. This is completely unheard of in the industry, so I was ecstatic! I should hear from other agencies within another 5-7 weeks from now. Hopefully I can get my foot in the door. I know rejections are to come, it is to be expected, but I am still thrilled nonetheless. Please keep me in your prayers! This could be my huge break!! I would love to see my book in print. That is all I am looking forward to is sharing my work with others and hoping they too like it as much as I do.

Sarah is taller than all get out!! She just keeps stretching!! Poor thing is going to be seven feet tall by the time she is five at the rate she is growing. Well, at least she will have to marry some tall guy who happens to be an NBA player so Jordan and I can have our retirement settled for life--right?! Sarah is just as cute as she is tall. I will have to post some pictures soon.

Over the 24th weekend we decided to go to our cabin in Indianola. It was very, very hot! We had a lot of fun despite the heat wave that hit us. We spent the later part of the afternoons sitting in the creek and splashing each other. Sarah enjoyed splashing us as well. It was very cute!

Daisy had a blast. The first day she wore herself right out and she was good for the entire trip! She swam in the creek, ran with the 4-wheeler, and searched for every type of varmint possible. Daisy is a true-blue lab. It was a lot of fun to get away from everything for a weekend and just relax.

My older sister Liz had her second baby, Aiden Robert Kempe! She had him July 23rd just before midnight. He was born face up and swallowed some fluids, so he is in ICU on a ventilator. But, he is doing well and should go home sometime later this week. We are all happy for Liz and baby! Especially now they are showing signs of good health.
