reboot

So I had to call the Dell people today and get things fixed.

I'm a little miffed because I've had the computer for little more than a month and already I had to back everything up and wipe it all out to make the thing run properly. We bought it to make sure all of our files, pic, videos, etc. were okay.
I'm going to go with my heart and resign myself to knowing it won't happen again.
I really do like this computer and think that it was a good buy.
We're up and running now, but all of my pics are on an external hard drive.


Well, onto more things.


Our friend and Vicar gave a talk at Valley Lutheran's Chapel yesterday.
Bo, our vicar, grew up in Denver and was a freshman in high school 10 years ago.
He talked about the day a neighboring school was attacked by shooters.


I went about my morning before chapel not thinking anything of my life other than how busy we were and how much work I had to do to get things in order.
While listening to Bo I realized how very little I am and how much work needs to be done for this whole world to be in order.


Bo went to a school with an open campus and wanted to go with his friend to get some starbucks. He wasn't allowed outside until authorities knew everything was okay.
The kids of Columbine High School in Littleton CO were unaware what that day would bring, how that day would progress or prepared for its sad end.


Eric, the kids and I went to chapel yesterday morning knowing Bo was speaking but not about what. I want to thank him for opening my heart once again to how much I need to listen, how much I can do and how very short this life of mine is.

We got into the car and were listening to Air 1 as normal and the DJ's started talking of Columbine and what our job is as Christians. This was the song they chose to play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmFi2snLr7o one of my favorites as it is, yet somehow more meaningful in many ways that morning than any other.


Send a prayer up for those families still greiving and all of us trying to make a difference and not always feeling like we're doing it right.

Also,

Our friends Jason and Julie Reitz and their two little girls were robbed recently, please say a prayer for them as well.


I won't let these things slow me. I will force them to modivate. We can change this...we will change this........we have to

Here it is, the long awaited video from the arrival of our new "BIG" bed. I noticed that I'm breathing pretty hard in the video, it's because I was fighting a cold, not because I have that hard of a time walking up the stairs. Although Eric and Ben show signs of fatigue too, but they actually did the work... so here you go, I hope it makes you laugh a little.

If it's broke, fix it

Noah fractured his arm. Yes you're right, I felt horrible. At first I didn't know what to do. I ran with my crying baby up the stairs to the kitchen and called my husband. He didn't really know what to do either. I called the pediatrician. Appointment for the afternoon was made and Noah gradually got back into the swing of things, not using his arm like normal, but playing and pulling hair and eating like normal with his other arm. By the time we got to the pediatricians office I thought for sure she would say that it was probably just sprained and that he should take it easy. She told me she thought x rays would be a good idea and to go right away and they would call from the imaging office to let the pediatrician know what they saw. I called around for the cheapest x rays and went where it was 10 dollars cheaper per x ray, all the while thinking I didn't want to pay money for it to be nothing. Noah was doing well for having fell, not eaten very much and not having tak...

Revolutionary Road

What was I thinking? Leonardo, Kate. Titanic was a hit right? So I rented this movie, Revolutionary Road. We hadn't rented in a very long time and I thought, hey it's cheaper than going to see a movie, getting babysitters are expensive these days. Well, I knew it would be rough but I got it anyway. Eric was not happy. At one point he asked if he could have my headphones to listen to his laptop instead of the movie. I'll just say this. If you're at a point in your marriage were you could go one of two directions, one good, one bad, don't rent this flick! It's real, it's hard to watch. Luckily for Eric and I, we aren't at that place, we never have been and I hope we won't ever get there. Now, it's 4am and I'm sitting at the kitchen table with my little boy thinking, I really shouldn't have watched that movie because I could have gone to bed earlier in preperation for this night. If you have seen it, or you do let me know what you think.
