....I am SO blessed! every hour, every minute of every day! I could not ask for more! except I would be more like Jesus And what have I done to deserve it? I don't know. And most of all what have I deserved to earn Jesus's love for me? This is what we heard about Wednesday night at church. 'Jesus loves me'. Such a wonderful emotional topic! I can't hardly grasp that love that He has for me! I mean after all, I was the one who nailed Him there on that cross! And He suffered and died so that I might live! Oh what love!! But that's His nature! That's who Jesus is, how is always has been, and always will be! Am I? Do I love like Jesus loves me? Do I serve? Obey? Forgive?   ::       This scene tho... I just love it! so thankful for my daddy and sibs:)   Some of the kiddos came with me and we went star gazing! great bonding time:)     Oh what a day this was...spent the whole day in KC picking out fabric for bridesmaid dresses, and su

Sitting here on the couch, watching and listening to my siblings do their school work and the lil sis sitting on by me reading books, my heart  is filled with such happiness! Sometimes I don't think I could be any happier! I am oh so blessed! Get up in the morning, hear the bros go outside to do chores, go up stairs and see Amanda off to work, make the breakfast and do laundry. The parents and bros come in, we eat and do devotions and sing. Then we go downstairs to start the days school work. And that brings me up to where I am right now, giving spelling test, reading with Jenna, Larae poking me trying to show me something in her book, and attempting to keep them in their respective desks and not bothering one another! So I try to get them in trouble without smiling, but I end up doing so, and it usually ends up in a laughing match. And then trying to blog at the same time! Then we take a break and turn on some music and dance around and sing, and act crazy. And times like this I w

Just to give ya'll a small glimpse of  the last couple days on the farm:)    The always fun days of picturing cows! actually they really well this time! not really any stubborn ones! But we only did 3 so it was pretty easy! Cant wait to see how they turned out!  Made fence all around the property, so we could let the heifers out! It's a good thing you get to have the best people, otherwise it gets pretty boring. And your arms gets really sore! (Even then, they still get sore! ahh...yes i'm suffering from sore muscles and blisters! ) Brandon, Jenna, and I have the privilege once a month to go into the nursing home and do 'popcorn'. The kids love it, and the old folks just love it when we come in! we spend nearly all the afternoon making popcorn, talking to the residents and doing things with them! Well that's all for now, gotta  go milk!!!

 I've been So awed by God lately, I mean He always 'awes' me, but lately He just seems So much more real to me. I'm not really sure why, maybe it's just that I'm growing in my faith more and more and hopefully maturing (ahem*) :). And obviously its my attitude, because God has been, is, and always will be there with me close by.       Or maybe its the amazing pictures He paints in the sky everyday,       Or being home with my family and watching my siblings each grow up (celebrated this girls 4th birthday a few days ago:))   Or watching these two love birds grow closer together in the Lord     Either way He is So Alive and Real and Amazing! And He wants each of us to experience His realness. And wants us to be Real. For His Glory. I honestly don't know why I'm blogging about this, because me out of all the people don't really know what I'm saying or how to say it let alone know anything

Sitting here in town, at the shop waiting to pay the bill for my jeep that's in the process of getting fixed. Oh wait...we can skip past the paying part.... Uhhh. Anyways, to past the time, why not blog, right:) I really didn't have in mind that it was going to take this long. But in the meantime Jenna and I had walked up town and got her a 'prize' because of her good grades in school and on her piano lessons so she thought she deserved a prize! Don't expect it every time tho, Jenna! Ha. :) We had fun walking up and down main street once, or twice, or maybe even three times! ;) stopping in little shops drinking coffee drinks and eating ice cream from the coffee haus! It's an absolutely beautiful fall day!! So it was rather enjoyable walking the streets of town! So here we sit still in at S&S....

So I've been home for two months now. And I'm finally settled back into mom and dads and getting adjusted to the more or less crazy awesomeness of my family:) Honestly I don't know how I moved and lived away for nearly a yr and a half! Its OH so awesome to be home with my family, church, friends, and Kansas! :) I had pert near forgot how amazing it is at home and to be in Kansas. No, I don't want to brag it up or anything, I'm sure its like it for anyone where ever they are from. But there's just nothing like home and being with your family and the people you grew up with. Not to mention the dirt roads and rolling hills with trees and the endless beautiful sunsets! (ok maybe i'm bragging it up alil :)) But nonetheless you get the point! I will hafta say tho, it was a big adjustment moving back, just ask my family. I thought it was going to be all great and wonderful and, everything had been going almost to good for me, so I figured everything would. But t
