sup?

We went to Canada and it was FUN! We were so glad we got to hang out with family and relax! Luke's busy season at work had just finished and mine is just beginning, so it was the perfect time to get away. We are glad to be back home. I wish we had tons more money so we could jet out to Portland, Canada (both Calgary and Regina), and anywhere else family lives when ever we wanted! Maybe one day.

So... I am defiantly hitting the nesting faze hard! While in Calgary I was inspired to clean out my fridge because Suzanne's was so purdy. And while I was there I also wrote down like a million and a half recipes. This week I have made three. All YUMMY! Tonight I am trying my hand at meatloaf. Not just any meatloaf, my mommy's meatloaf! I've called her a few times to ask her if she'd be on stand by for me. I'm not so smooth in the kitchen. But you really wouldn't know it from the taste of the food this week! I'm excited to have a new hobby!

I am also taking Sewing lessons from this dear, sweet woman at our church! She has lived the most interesting life, and BOY, does she like to talk! I love it though! I just sit and cut and she tells me all of these wonderful stories! It's a blessing for both of us really. I am oh so grateful that she is my friend, and that she is so patient with me! The simplest things get me all confusticated! I have had my sewing machine for two years now, and this is the first time I have used it! But I do love it, so far.

I am also doing a Beth Moore class with my Aunt Nan. It's so great and powerful. The only drawback is when Luke asks me about it, I just don't feel like I can get the point across like she does, so he misses out on all the meaty good stuff because I sound like a bumbling fool! Praise the Lord for Beth Moore's who can make sense out of such awesome Bibleness! But MAN, that's a ton of reading!


And I don't know if this is a prego thing, but I have been thinking about a lot of my
ex-boyfriends lately. Not only wondering how they are, but thinking about how silly I was. There were a few that I know I destroyed the name of Christ for them. I can only pray that God is gracious enough to have given them the opportunity to really know how great He can be! Why do we have to be so foolish when we are young? Praise the Lord for growing up and acquiring wisdom and perspective. How I wish I could tell some of those men how sorry I am. I can't believe I let myself use and abuse them just to try and find out who I was. SO NOT COOL! But they all taught me something, and I KNOW I wouldn't be who I am and where I am with out each and every experience. so I actually pray prayers of thanksgiving for my own foolishness. It seems silly, but it is so real!

Well, I hope everyone is doing well. And I hope that my sister updates her blog soon. I became a little too addicted to my blog world, so for the next month or so I only have a handful of blogs I am checking me. It's killing a little part of me, but hopefully God will be glorified though the shaping of my self control. (Is it just me, or do you always think of the fruit of the spirit song when you say or hear the words self control? anybody? anybody? okay... I'm just a goober and a half!)
