Why Can't Money Grow on Tree's?
Jon and I stopped at the Salvation Army yesterday and saw the the coolest loft bed with a slide off of it. You have no idea how I was racking my brain on how we could afford it! It was rediculously priced for a thrift store ($300), but it had a tent and a desk too! Jon rolled his eyes as the provider that is just trying to make ends meet...don't get me wrong, he would have just as much fun sliding down as Judah, but I was being completely unrealistic--you better believe he let me know it!
I realize it has been ages since I wrote last, but I was home for two and a half weeks in Wisconsin visiting my parents. We had such a great and refreshing time. Unfortunately I was sick for the first full week as well as the boys, not to mention I got my sweet gradparents sick too! Note to self: Do not visit your 80 year old grandparents when your children have even a slight cough or runny nose! Duh! (Sorry Grandma and Grandpa John!)
The second half of the trip consisted of hot tubbing in my parents new and beautiful loaded hot tub (CD, 6 person, a million jets and under the stars) and shopping with my mother who has no problem spending money on me! (Thanks for making me look good again mom, and dad, thanks for working so hard so that mom could inhance my beauty!) I am thoroughly enjoying my new wardrobe, eyebrow wax and freshly dyed hair!
I also picked up Shaunty Feldhans book, For Women Only. What an absolutely crucial handbook for women who need a little booty kick as well as some insight on how to love their men better. I encourage you to pick up a copy--you will not regret it!
On the plane ride home, both boys fell asleep and I was able to actually carry on a conversation with the guy across the isle. (This was a big deal knowing that on the plane ride there, Judah was asking where the door was an hour and a half before landing--fruit snacks and barf bag puppets only go so far) His name was Krishna and we just chatted about life. He asked about what it was like being married and I got to tell him the honest truth! (How absolutely amazing it is and how much work it takes...not to mention the growing that takes place!) He plays guitar and is currently looking for another band to work with...he just quit the one he was in, but Jon and I are looking forward to possibly meeting up for a show sometime! I find it interesting the types of people you meet on an airplane. Krishna challenged me--he was so "impressed" (for lack of a better term) that Jon and I have such ambition for life and are so pumped about church planting...his attitude encouraged me and made me all the more passionate about what is in store...poor guy got his ear talked off by a mommy of two needing a conversation with someone older than two that is not only intersted in Bob the Builder and his "dump-dig" (dump truck). Thanks Krishna...it was a good chat.
Upon arriving home, I found out I left Creed in the nursery with someone who may have Whooping cough...I have not had either of the boys vaccinated with these shots, so pray that they do not catch it! Creed is coughing this week and I am just crossing my fingers...
Summer is so fun and our little community here is continually out and about playing pool volleyball and cooking out...it has been refreshing for Jon inbetween all the youth events (He is scraping and painting a little old lady's house for a fundraiser tomorrow!) I am finally back down to size (with the exception of the un-toned tire...tuck it in for now) and feeling well rested. I couldn't ask for a better life.
