Weddings and Trips to London

Well, The plan is to go to My brother-in-laws wedding (Arlo and Lesley his bride-to-be) on June 30th in Chicago. I am very excited. I have never been to Chicago. We will have someone watching the kids so it will be a nice weekend away. To add to the excitement my husband informed me that he is planning to take to London the day after the wedding. WOW!!! I am so thrilled. He has been wanting to take me there but I had know idea he was serious enough to plan for it this coming summer. I thought he was talking about like 3 or 4 years from now. Anyway, If all goes as planned we will be leaving on the 29th of June in the morning to go to Chicago. Go to the rehearsal dinner that night. The following day we will attend the wedding (which I am extremely excited about). Sunday July 1st we will fly off to London YAY!!. We will be there for 10 days and then fly home. What a great trip this is gonna be. Even though David has been to London a few times, and there is a lot he wants to show me, I would love input from anyone who has been and maybe has a favorite they think I would like to see. Well.... Off to play with the kids

Till next time

Wish list from home Depot:)

Home Depot is my favorite place to shop since we have moved into the new house. I know it isn't very new anymore but we have been slowly getting to upgrade or change things around to make it our own. As David mentioned in his latest blog we are finally getting to change all of the brass fixtures, such as door knobs, cabinet knobs, and light fixtures, to all brushed nickel. I love it. That in and of itself is a huge improvement. We are looking to change some of the flooring in the house as the budget allows. We have been shopping around deciding what we like and which room it should go in, so it has been a lot of fun. We put hardwood floors in the main living room last spring I think. I have been enjoying them so much, but it also makes me anxious to change up the other floors around them.:):). All in good time. My husband has been a lot of fun to do this with. He is just as excited as I and makes shopping (even if it is window shopping for the moment) for this stuff even more enjoyable. We really like all of the same things so there isn't any arguing when it comes down to actually picking the actual style or color (that makes it so nice). Well as we make the changes I will take some pictures hopefully:):) and then post them for all to see.

Till next time...

I'm back.....

So I know I have been away from the blogging world for a bit. I just haven't been feeling good enough to really do much with the computer. However, I have been reading everybody else's so I could stay up to date with what's going on in your lives. So I suppose I should update everyone on mine.

Well, as some of you know I have been pretty sick lately . My Doctor's have been doing test trying see what was going on, and there was some talk about possibly having Lupus, so needless to say we have been doing a lot of praying and believing God that it wasn't anything serious. Well Praise God he is awesome. It is not Lupus. That was a relief. It wasn't anything to major. However what I do have is Fibromyalgia. For those of you who don't know what that is you can read about it here. To be brief it is something that they don't know how to treat exactly b/c they can't figure out what causes it. It will be something that last my whole life (But I have the Lord so I know that by his stripes I am healed and in his time he will do what his word says. My God is a God of truth!!) It causes me to stay pretty sick almost everyday. Some days are better than others and some can be pretty bad. I am struggling with the fact that I can't take care of my kids without the help of a nanny. I am their mom yet I can't do the things I know in my heart moms are suppose to do and the things my heart desires to do as a mother. I have been heaping a lot of condemnation on myself b/c I can't handle normal every day things such as cooking dinner or cleaning or even changing the diapers all the time. I really dislike where I am physically and how it is effecting me. I desire to be like all of the other mothers and wives who can go about the day accomplishing their cleaning, cooking dinner, preparing fun meals for the kids, crafts and things like that, running errands, and so on and so forth. I know that the Lord knows where I am and he is still loves me and so does my husband and kids. I guess I just feel empty b/c I don't feel like I am doing my "job". Anyway, for those of you who feel led please keep me in prayer.

My kids are doing great, and the upside to needing a nanny has been that the leg work I can't accomplish gives me opportunity to sit and just play with the kids. I get to read more books to them and play cars and just have some great quality time with them. I think they are responding incredible to the time I am able to pour into them this way. With having three all around the same age I was constantly pulled in several directions at once which I know many moms can relate to. I never had a lot of one on one time with either of them b/c I never had Caleb or Noah as an only child. I am now having time to really bond with them and get to know each one individually. Anywho, I will have new pictures soon.


I am back I will try to write at least a couple times a week. Sorry to my faithful readers:):) My break is over.:)

Till next time.....

Kari Jobe!

I know that I keep having big gaps in bewtween the times I write, sorry to those fans of mine that have been complaining.:):):).

Anyway, I wanted to tell you guys about a CD I found while searching new artist on myspace. Her name is Kari Jobe . I think she is incredible, her voice is beautiful and her song "My Beloved" is awesome. It really ministered to me. As a person who loves to worship my Lord, and who understands the importance of telling the Lord how I feel about him and pouring my love out to him, this songs has great importance b/c it is written as if the Lord is singing to me. It is amazing to hear how the Lord feels about us, to know he loves us. I know there are times I just need some encouragement and to hear him sing over me his love, it is just amazing. His love is greater than mine could ever be so the depth to this song is just amazing. Well if you want to hear it just click on her name and it should take you to her myspace page and you can listen to 4 of her songs. I say listen to "My beloved" I know you will be blessed. Let the Lord sing his love over you while listening to this song and I promise you he will renew your strength and you will walk away refreshed.
