Friends-giving

I love our friends, I love that our friends want to all spend time together. I love friendsgiving. I love going and having a meal with all the wonderful people in our life (well not all of them because some couldn't be there but most) 
Last year we had friendsgiving and it was really last minute. I think we ended up eating a rotisserie chicken and some tap water tasting stuffing. However, this year my dear friend Caitlin Volk was on top of it! We all ended up at Camp Hammer and had such a good time. Whats better than eating, naming all the presidents, playing trivial pursuit, watching cry baby, and play random games with oranges? The answer is NOTHING. Love you guys

Stick to sam like glue.


I have sooooo much to put in here but life is busy. This is the first morning in about two weeks that i have had time to myself. I like it. What I decided to do with my free time is look at Sams livejournal. I didn't even know these things existed-- thanks Tyler Reed for turning me on to this. Any way I read a few entries that Sam put in there and realized something really awesome. Well a few awesome things. First is that I love this MAN that Sam has turned into, I love that he isn't a scared and confused boy any more.(not to say he isn't confused or scared anymore) it's amazing how God works in people and can make them brand new. I obviously didn't know Sam during his "livejournal life" but one thing still holds true today, and is also another observation I got out of it, that the Lord has used surfing to connect Sam to him. I sometimes thought it was all about the rush and all about the status of being a "surfer" because that's what you do in SC ,and to some extent it probably is. For Sam though it's a way to see Gods power, to appreciate his creation and just spend time with his maker. This makes me happy.



I am so blessed by this man that God designed perfectly for me. I am so honored to be his wife and learn with him. To learn the things he likes and dislikes, grow with him, challenge him, and call him my best friend. i used to get sad that I didn't get to know Sam when he was younger, but I am so happy to be here with him NOW in this stage of his life where he is working to be a Man that loves the Lord with all is heart, with all his soul, and with all his might. God knows when, where, why, what and how to make things just work out perfectly.

trying to take it all in.

Today is a really hard day. to say the least. It's a day where nothing and no one can make you feel better (well at least it feels that way, it's not always the truth) I just have a lot that's screwed up in my mind, my family, and my boundaries. All these things decided to come to the front of the line today. Needless to say, but I was very much unprepared for all of this. Now I just feel icky. I feel like I have a rain cloud over my head.. you know like in the cartoons and comics? It is going to be a long journey to take control over these things and really hatch them our with God. Knowing that I can turn to the Lord with all this mess is what's keeping me from completely breaking down today. I know that I have God to thank for everything that I have in my life and that I can trust him. It's really really hard, but I do, because I know that the Lord with never ever leave me or forsake me. I love that. family, friends, coworkers,your cat or dog and whoever else can be dishonest and hurt you but the Lord is consistent.... gosh I need consistency.
