Pictures

These are some pictures we took at the beach during Gulf Coast Getaway with our "college friends" as Kiley calls them. And then there is one of Robyn playing with a hat. Too cute not to share!

Back in Action

Okay, I've run out of one word phrases to use for titles. How boring anyway. I guess I was trying to be poetic, but I'll save that for a less public forum. Anyway, we have a lot going on in our life. Just when I think I can't handle anymore stress, I watch Jon and Kate plus 8 and think to myself...what a wonderful life I have. Well, Brad and I are going through a cleaning phase in our life. We have been on a journey that is much too detailed to relay here but one that has brought us to some big decisions. We have decided to sell our house and look for something smaller. You might say, big deal, people do that everyday. And you would be right. However, Brad and I are planners, analyzers, control freaks. We like being in our comfortable home that we love. But for the first time in a while, I can honestly say that God is asking me to take this leap of faith and do this. There are a lot of reasons for us to make a break from this home, but mostly I just can hear God telling me this is what we need to do. I trust that He has some big plans for us and I am thrilled to be asked to join His journey wherever He may take us. I feel alive again in this decision as I have not felt in most of my comfortable, suburban lifestyle of the last few years. I have definitely been depressed since my father's passing and have not wanted to share that here. Maybe in the future, but not yet. So, I haven't been writing. Sorry to all 3 of you who read my blog anyway. I am praying today that God will reveal His will for us quickly and make a way for that will. If any of you can help us out, let us know. Peace-
