Who we are

the makings of a family. imperfect we are. saved by grace we are. loved by our Savior we are. serving Him in faith and action we are. follow us as we strive to magnify the Lord in all we do and are becoming.

long overdue...not the baby, just this posting

these are not excuses for not posting recently, but definately explanations. ;-)
sorry i have been so delayed in posting lately. BUT...

1. I got deathly, or at least it felt deathly, ill upon my arrival back from MI in mid March. I had a fever of about 100 degrees for about 2 days ;-( I also had this incredibly bad lung cough that i thought was going to rip my lungs out of my chest. It made me lose my voice and the whole ordeal put me in bed for about a week. I am finally (i think, please!!!!) fully recovered.

2. Soccer has picked up steam and is now rolling full force ahead. It has been great and lots of fun, just puts me to bed sooner some days than usual ;-)

3. Work has kicked my tail. On top of soccer being busy...i have been working well over 40 hours per week and am having a discussion about this issue with my district manager tomorrow.

4. I am little-by-little packing up my part of the house. I started strategically with the heavier items first (books), and have now packed up most of my clothes i can not wear ;-( and all of the kitchen stuff...which was a lot. Thank you Grandma ;-) I move out of my house on April 27th. I am sad and ready at the same time. So i hope to have all my stuff packed and things not going to Priscilla and Craigs already moved to storage before move day!

That is about it...now that i feel a little more sane and not so sick i will update more frequently.

Here are some pictures from Michigan and lately with friends. (i need to start taking more pictures i realized!)

Merilee and I (she was my college roommate of 3 years...she drove all the way from WV to see me...i was so excited and tickled that she came!!!!)


My friend Dimitri and I (we met while running the Denver Marathon last fall)

Beth Diehl and I... last weekend at girls night out in the Springs. I played soccer at IWU with Beth and 3 other girls that live in Colorado Springs. We all met up for dinner. Mandy Houle (Elsberry) has an almost 1 year old baby girl; Raleigh, who is pursueing her masters degree; and Ricci, my friend of almost 9 years who will be one of my birthing coaches. (Priscilla will also be in the room ;-)

Long story short - Beth is going to China Friday for 4 months. Pray for her!!!
