Update: what's been going on for the last 4-5 months...

I just realized the other day that I haven't really sat down to post on my blog in a while, so I thought I would update you all...

In march we took a road trip up to WA with some close friends of ours so that we could make it to my husband's old roommate's wedding.


My husband was one of the groomsmen :)


In April my husbands parents and sister and nephew came to town for our family Easter gathering where all the relatives in the area get together and do an Easter egg hunt and BBQ.

One of the days they were here we got to go to the beach.

In May we moved out of our first apartment together and into my husband's grandma's place so that we could save up for our up and coming move to Nebraska.


In June my husband and I went to the Resolved conference...


but for me I had and impromptu visit to Canada to be with my grandpa who had a heart attack the day the conference started. He's doing better now and is able to get up and around on his own again, but is unfortunately not saved. Please pray for his salvation.

God's timing and provision was perfect! On the trip everything worked out... from affordable airfare, to a place to stay (my sister's), and time available.


The day after I got back from Calgary, my husband and I were off with the rest of our team to Spain on our missions trip. I'll post more about this in my next post, but it was an amazing trip!

Easter is just around the corner...

It's a time to reflect on the ultimate love sacrifice Christ made for us by dying on the cross and in so doing, paid our debt for our sin, so that those who follow Christ might be forgiven by God and have everlasting life in heaven!

I have been looking forward to easter Sunday all month. My husband and I will be going to church on good Friday and Easter Sunday with the rest of our bible study. I can't wait.

Afterwards we are planning on going over to my husband's aunt's house for lunch and an easter egg hunt for the kids. It's a nice time to catch up with the our family, eat good food and watch the kids try and find the eggs that we have scattered around the yard. I'm going to be bringing some kind of dessert. I might try my hand at making Napoleons... one of my favorite desserts of all time, I'll let you know how they turn out after people taste them.

Last year I made some little chicks for the kids out of felt, feathers, and toilet paper rolls. They were so cute, and the kids got a kick out of them. This year however I haven't had the time to even start such a project, and with easter being just around the corner, I don't think it's going to happen.

Recently I have been working on a few sewing projects that various people have wanted me to do. One of the projects I have been working on is making a matching apron to the apron I made for our cousin's daughter for Valentines day. Now they will have matching mommy daughter aprons! How cute!
