Hello there!!

What a long time it's been, I'm not even sure what my last post was about!
It's hot here in Indiana on this 4th of July. We have been living here for 15 months and still have not sold our home in MI. It's a sore subject for our family because we really would like to have a nice cozy place of our own. We have to keep telling ourselves and believing that Gods plan for our future is so much cooler than ours we can't even fathom it yet. I'll keep you posted on that topic.
The kids are growing like weeds and I have gained at least 15 pounds since moving, blah. We love our church. Worship has never been so moving and emotional for me in my life, honestly, no lie. We are adjusting to living amidst the farmlands, but have an appreciation for it that only grows with every season.
We are continuing to make friends here as we did in our previous area and hope that the bridges we are building here are as sturdy as the ones we still cross with our Saginaw friends.
How strange it is growing older. I think every day about my life and where I'm at, where I've been. Where WE have been. Eric and I are working on 10 years of marriage and it's been somewhat of what I think of as a "normal" ride. I hate to say that because I don't think Eric and I are "normal". When I think of the family, friends and acquaintances that surround us, I have to give us credit for the unique life we lead. At times I even wish we were more normal. Wish Eric had a 9-5 job and that I actually desired to stay home all the time for my family. I keep thinking that I want the best for my kids. I want them to be well rounded and happy. Never losing their innocence and finding their faith and walking the path God has laid out for them.
I hope that I can blog more. I hope that I find the creative side of me that I feel has been hidden under all of the life stuff that is so necessary. I miss you all!!

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.
