| Well ... another weekend has come and gone way too fast! We had a great day Saturday working in the yard and garage and cleaning things up from the winter and got all the backyard pretty much done ! Today, we went to hear the kids sing at the White Bear Campus, ate, relaxed, napped, read, watched TV and basically took a day of rest ... and it was great!
Can I say it enough ... I love my family beyond words ... they make it possible for me to breathe ... .
Later ... | | |
| Well ... home from Hawaii ... it was AWESOME!!! I find it hard to come back and get right back into my schedule though ... tough to force my body to sleep when it should for this time zone!!!
I have to say that I thoroughy enjoyed our time in Hawaii ... while at the same time missed my kids so much I wanted to go home everyday!!!
Well, I'll to figure out how to put some pictures of our trip on this site tonight maybe - kids you'll have to help me!
Hugs to you all ... | | |
| Hey Everyone! I know - I should be ashamed at how little I post! Now that my insomnia seems to be back in full force maybe I'll get more posting done in the wee hours of the morning:) Anyway ... life is sweet ... always plenty of challenges ... but sweet because of my husband, my kids, my friends (who if they aren't family already - seem like family!) and most of all ... my Lord. He is gracious and patient and takes absolutely anything I throw at Him. He's quite simply (and yet so intricately and amazingly complex at the same time) mind blowing.
Can I be honest with all??? Life is hard ... but the harder it is, the more room for God to be bigger in my life. Simple things are like the waters echo as it leaps over rocks in a stream. Like: Blade smiling up at you (can dogs really smile? I swear Blade does!); hearing my kids laugh; just being in the same room with my family; seeing God challenging and changing and growing those I love; dinner around the table together; taking a walk and seeing God's beauty in nature; missing those who are with Jesus and remembering their continued impact on my life; realizing that this life is so short - and yet is so full of opportunity. When I trust God in the big things (finances, health, relationships) the little things have so much more shine and clarity and bring so much more joy ... because I'm able to rest and enjoy life no matter what comes my way.
Man - I shouldn't post at 4:30am - especially since I've been up since 1am - I get a little - um ... deep:) Ah well ... I trust anyone reading this loves me and knows my heart anyway!
I count it a privilege to be surrounded by my family and friends ... and can't wait to see what God has for me today ... hugs to you all! | | |
| Well ... my baby is 15 years old today ... and he is such a fine young
man. I'm so incredible proud of him! I can't even say how
much I love him and am grateful to God that he was designed especially
for our family! I love him sooooooooooooooooooooo much!
Here's to Sammy!!!
Hugs ....

| Okay - so I've been shamed into writing again! I always feel like
there is so much to say ... so much to talk about that it seems weird
to just write a few sentences and call it good! So, here's to
trying to post more often and less words!
Last night was a crummy night ... but it's over with and I feel some
better. Just one of those nights where all the crummy things that
have gone on in my life seemed to catch up to me all at once and I
needed a pity party! Sam was gracious enough to give me a night
like that and the kids were at youth group so at least they didn't have
to survive my imploding .... :)
Today was weird - I sat for several hours listening to a tape of a
several hour meeting over and over trying to come up with intelligible
notes about the meeting - only as Sam loves to say - I'm so
'wordy'! Everything seems important - like it all needs to be
written down. I'm no good at meeting minutes. Ah well ....
I"m sure over time it will get easier and better. (Hopefully!)
Well, said I'd keep this short - so that's it for today folks!
Hugs to you all!
Sue
