Short Update

I am blogging simply because I haven't in forever and I thought I needed a new post at the top of my blog. :) Shelly informed me last weekend that I need to update my blog, so this is for you Shel. :)

I'm not going to post much because we're on our way home from Kansas right now, but here's just a bit of what I've been up to...

This weekend our family spent the weekend with Larry and Jill's family in Kansas. It's always such a fun and entertaining time when we're there! These 2 little girls are so cute... and so grown up now! Kayla(on the right) is just little miss talker.... something I've never seen in her! :)

I went to Silverton, Oregon for Labor day with Kristin(well, and Eureka yg). It was such a wonderful time, and I WILL post more pictures sometime. But for right now, here's one on the coast.

...and one on our hike. I loved getting to know the people out there, they are all so sweet! It was a plus that the Wagenbach girls were out there too. :)

So those are my highlights with what is new with me. Besides that, it's been school and craziness.

Oh, and spending time with this little sweet pea:

Adam was laying on the floor and she came up with a pillow and layed right next to him. :) She is SO cute!! Bridget is at such a fun age!

...oh, and my new nephew to be should be showing his appearance within the next month. So excited to have two special little ones in the family!

So for now, that's it. I'm afraid I won't have many posts until the end of this semester... or possibly until I'm just done with school period. But you never know, I might suprise you... no promises though! It's been a tough semester and I'm trying to be careful with my time... so blogging isn't #1 priority!

Enjoy this beautiful fall weather!!

Time Flies By...

.... or crawls... I'm not sure which one.

I know it's been a while since my Mexico post. As you probably know/figured out, I am home from Mexico and just got done with my 3rd week of school. CRAZY third week. Wow. The last few weeks I have been running around 90 miles an hour, getting no sleep and functioning on coffee, studying, and trying to figure out what I could possibly eliminate so I could have more TIME towards school, family, and most importantly God.

This semester is the hardest I've ever had. But one of the biggest things is how to know how to prioritize, because my time seems very limited lately.

TIME. That's what my life has been revolving around. "Do I have time to go there, do I have time to do this, or get this project/homework done in time?" etc. etc.

I read something this week that made me think and get me re-focused!!

We are so conditioned by time that our minds cannot begin to imagine what we would do without it! Try to envision no watches, no need to hurry, and no night ever again in that blissful place called the sea of eternity.

In heaven, which is our ultimate goal, there will be no such thing as time... and right now that sounds simply wonderful. Just another reminder that this is not our home, and this lifetime of ours will seem like just a moment in eternity.

So right now it's just time to trust HIM!

Psalm 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee!

Psalm 31:1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.

Praying this semester will fly by like the summer did!!
