Just thought I would update some of you as to what's going on over here at the Windemuller household....let's just say, ummmm, not much. Paul has been busy busy starting to pack things up and bring them to our "top secret" storage space :) and I, well can't get myself to pack things up, so I haven't been much help.  Our bookshelves, which once looked so full around our fireplace are now empty, our basement is empty (expect for packing boxes), his office is just about packed up, my massive junk closet upstairs is cleaned, and all my sticks in my kitchen are gone.  (IT'S SO BARE!!!)  So we have a long way to go yet but thanks to Paul's persistence, we're making headway. Good thing we've only lived together for a little over a year, I can't imagine what kind of stuff we would have hoarded if it was longer than that!!!!! (I say "we" but let's be honest....it's "I")
Other than Paul packing away, he is winding down in his work for Gowan. He was on "vacation" the last couple of weeks, so packing, getting equipment ready for hay, serving our Team and reading more books than I care to recall, have kept him busy. He is now back working and getting ready to take the "new guy" around to many of his customers and start handing things over. Should be fun!
As for me, I've been working here and there for Windscapes (I will get this new computer!), trying to keep the house clean and ready for showings, looking at things that need to packed up... and then walking away....and hanging out with my sister :) So yes, I'm definitely not as productive as Paul, but I'm working on it!!!
Last week was Tulip Time here in Holland and we had a blast hanging out with friends and family! It was a good time :) Hope you are all enjoying this spring! Adios!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! 
I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such great mothers! And I'm not just saying that. Almost everyday I encounter a wonderful mother, and know that in these days that is rare. I truly truly feel soooo blessed to have great mother's everywhere! So here is my list of mother's that I am sooo thankful for!!!
I have my own mother who had to put up with my craziness for over 20 years (yikes! she deserves a medal) and what a wonderful mother she is! She raised me to honor and serve Christ with all my heart through her example and love, and that is one of the biggest rewards I could ever receive, Thank you mom!
I have  a wonderful mother in law, who I am so thankful for! I'm so thankful she raised such a wonderful God fearing, respectful man like Paul. I love how God plans out everything so perfectly and I know Paul and myself feel so blessed to have wonderful Christ following mothers!

I also have ALL my wonderful Sisters  who are incredible examples for me of how to raise children in a Godly way. I love watching how each of them interact with their kids and I know each of their kids are blessed blessed blessed to have Mothers that love and care for them like each of my sisters do, and they are even more blessed to have mommies that will teach them about Jesus Christ. 

I also have so many other family members (Grandma's, Aunt's, and Cousin's) and so MANY MANY friends who are all such wonderful mothers and I'm so thankful that we can set aside a day where we can honor all of you. Thank you ALL for being amazing examples of what it means to be a mom, I know that my future children will be blessed because of all of you.  Happy Mother's day everyone!!!

    Verse of the Week

    2 Corinthians 12:9

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him." John 3:16-17
