- Ben is job hunting. The job market is awful right now, but I'm sure that my very talented and marketable hubby will find something soon.
- High School small groups have begun at our church and Ben and I have the privilege of leading ones. I am excited to see how my group of girls mesh and to see how God works in their lives over the next few months. I know Ben feels the same.
- I just got back from a surprise date weekend with Ben. He sent me these cute little hints (one example below) on what we were doing and then drove to Bloomington where we rock climbed at Upper Limits.
I've been wanting to go for quite awhile now and he managed to find a day that we were free to go do so. It was Amazing. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful and thoughtful husband! He never ceases to show me love in creative and unique ways! Check out a few photos from our rock climbing excursion on my photo blog.- Miriam (our sister in law) is in labor right now!!! We are eagerly awaiting to hear if she has a boy or girl. My money is on a girl. I had a dream about it...so it must be true. This will be our second niece or nephew. We already are in love with our nephew Simon...so we welcome another little guy or girl to love on. I am excited to feed them lots of candy and ice cream when they get older! I am also guessing that if it's a girl the name will be Emily and if a boy the name will be Alexander.
- I am ticked at everybody for wishing my summer away. Multiple times this summer I recall telling people to stop wishing it away with their comments. Ben kept saying that he couldn't wait for football season (which pretty much starts in the fall) and back in May my friends kept saying how they wanted our Wisconsin trip to hurry and get here...and it did hurry and get here. Now don't get me wrong...I had a blast and I was also looking forward to it, BUT it wasn't until Labor Day weekend. So I blame you Ben, Christen, Brad, and Aaron for the summer flying by. Shame on you all!
