Our 5 year!!!

-
So right before we took off from Michigan we were able to celebrate our 5 year anniversary in South Haven, Michigan. It all began with Aaron leaving for a business trip to Chicago and while he was gone I would get one envelope a day that had a task for me to accomplish in order to recieve the next envelope. Each task made me re-live our favorite memories...then another had me think of couples that encouraged us in our marriage and call them and thank them and pray with them...and even had me watch our wedding video. Aaron did a great job. The last clue was given to me at 1pm on Friday and all it said was I had 2 hours to pack...with a list of things to pack and Aaron's dad, who was still visiting, was driving me to Grand Rapids, MI where I would recieve the next envelope. When we arrived there I found Aaron's car...he'd left it there to carpool to Chicago...and in it was an envelope with mapquest directions to somewhere...I didn't kow where. But I drove. And when I arrived literally five minutes before I had gotten there, Aaron and just been dropped off by his regional mgr at a great bed and breakfast. We actually stayed in their riverside condo. It was so nice. He had a massage set up for me in the morning and we ate dinner on an old steamboat...then took the sunset sail on an old pirate ship. It was so fun. And of course heading back to our mostly packed appartment was crazy...but we had a great anniversary.

Moving to California, our Journey from 2 viewpoints.

-
     So we are moving to San Diego California!  We are going to be attending a Christian Discipleship school called IMPACT 195 (i195.org).  The goal of this school is to grow people in their relationship with Jesus Christ so that they can impact the world for God's kingdom during these 12 months and afterwards for the rest of their lives.  Please go online and check it out if you are interested in seeing what we are going to be up to!      Since we have made the decision to go to San Diego, time has gone by so quickly, so here is the back story from Aaron's perspective.  I have worked now for Furniture Row for almost 10 years!  I have also been married for 10 years!  So needless to say, I started with Furniture Row 3 months after we got married back in 2003.  As most of you know, we have moved from Colorado to Montana to Indiana to Michigan and then back to Colorado!  It has gone by quickly and we have had 4 amazing kids in the process.  Last year as Malachi started school ful

Wheewww! What a CHRISTmas we have had. I know many of you all know about our surpise gift of delivering Caleb almost 9 weeks early on Dec. 22. But I also know that there are many details we just have been too overwhelmed with this to share. So here goes. This journey has been amazing. It is as if the Lord just said "I want to show you more of me. More of why so many things and people are in your lives. Remember...I am the one writing this story and I have always had something greater than you know planned." No kidding! The minute that the doctor said I was dialated to 6 we looked at each other and a flood of crying came...and came...and came. And then thru the tears Aaron's first words were..."Do you like Caleb Anthony?" Yep, we had not fully decided on his name and this was our top pic for a while we just couldn't hammer it down. Absolutely is his name= "COURAGEOUS". When the time came for the last few hours of real hard contractions this time, i

Rachel and Avery ...who's the tatle tail?

-
I had to post this video because it shows precious Avery being friendly with Rachel and well, they just don't understand hurting each other, nor does Rachel try to escape. As you will see my sweet daughter looks at mom to take care of her frustration...ya know. I think deep inside she's thinking.."mom, why don't you put her in time out and make her cry like you do with Malachi when he's mean to me?? Come on mom?". But Rachel is absolutely in love with her cousin and her brother even when they pick on her. It's cute but someday Rachel will get back at them...and I hope I have the camera ready! (Also...Rachel wasn't hurt in this video and don't think I'm not running to her aide when she's actually in pain..)
