Ever since I first looked at our house, the wallpaper was NOT one of my favorite features. But my dear hubby assured me that we could rip it all down and he would paint every room in the house if I wanted. And even change the color if I didn’t like it in a room. [...]

And the wall(paper) came tumbling down.

Lights

A friend told me yesterday that he thinks I’m the only woman in the county who didn’t want a gazebo and got one with my house! It’s not that I don’t like the gazebo in our backyard, but it was never something I wished for – or even thought about, really.
But I like it. What’s [...]
Tennis pillows – because they didn’t want skirts!
Posted in craftiness, friends on October 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I made a couple pillows recently – for two of my favorite tennis players. Ok, so I only know two tennis players, or two girl tennis players anyway. (You’ll see why the girl part is important in just a second.)
Ok, the point is I was given some tennis ball fabric a while back.
Then I saw this [...]
Camp Rock
Posted in God, Josh, friends, little things, pray on June 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
We are at camp this week! Josh and I (and Daniel) brought four high schoolers to Camp Rock this week for a mission trip. The kids are serving as dorm leaders, helpers and VBS teachers. I am mostly supporting the high schoolers, helping where ever I can and taking care of Daniel.
It is so fun [...]
A Tiny Sunrise
Posted in Belleville, God, friends, little things, pray on June 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
When I woke up this morning, I noticed two things:
First, it was quiet except for the birds singing – usually I’m woken by a crying baby or a hungry toddler.
Second, I could see small rectangle of blue sky with pink streaks through the open front door. I blinked sleepily, enjoying the luxury of lingering in bed, [...]
Today I’m thankful for:
The early morning snuggler who often finds her way to our bed.
The pure joy in my baby’s face when he sees me or his sisters or his daddy.
My husband cooking supper when I all did was thaw the meat.
That most of the time, the appropriate amount of TP is used.
That I can [...]
Too blessed
Posted in God, church, family, friends, pray, shadows on March 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I am feeling too blessed today. Here’s why:
My children are all healthy and happy – despite the occasional tantrum.
I live somewhere I love with the man of my dreams.
I have more than enough to eat, drink and wear.
I’ve never been without shelter.
My family is wonderful.
I have great friends.
God is building his kingdom here where I [...]
Home. Happy and healthy.

Except for the healthy. We made it home from our trip with a cold for the mama that has now been passed to Meg, but hopefully no further.
We drove almost 800 miles, saw six grandparents, twelve friends, countless semis, windmills and cows and ate 23 tootsie pops!
Now we’re all glad to be home and trying [...]
The One-Year Lonelies
Posted in Belleville, MOPS, church, friends, shadows on February 1, 2009 | 2 Comments »
We moved one year ago – February 2, 2008 – to plant Landmark Church. And we unpacked, explored our neighborhood, met our neighbors, dove into work at the church.
But now. I feeling like I’ve already met many of the people who are in my “circle” – people at church, people who take their kids to [...]

Hello! Wow, it’s been WAY too long since I posted – especially since I read/check many on my blogroll every day! Like most of you have more time than I do!
Anyway, I’m going to start with a story from yesterday (I think it was yesterday…):
I walk into my bedroom where Josh is finishing a [...]
