Ahhh frustrating...I found the cutest blog background and I woke up this morning to check it out again and blahhh...no background! For some reason it's just not wanting to change. How stuborn of it! Oh well!
Josh and I always arrive at the church on Sunday's at 6:30 to unlock and make the coffee, etc. As much as it was hard to get up this morning, I was thankful for a small treat. The sun was out this morning when we left, or at least the light was trying to shine through. I love waking up early when it's light out; a sure sign of spring time.
I think I'm gonna attempt grocery shopping later today...gotta get stocked back up at home. It's been an interesting transition for me to be working so much and having less time to be at home, tending to the needs of keeping a clean house, etc. I'm very blessed that Josh and I are learning the lesson of meeting each other half way, especially when our routines change. He's been a big help with laundry especially.

Change is Here!
Well since it's been over three months since my last posting, I'm celebrating my comeback to the realm of blogging and updating with a new page background. My apologies to those who think it's a little too girly, but there you have it! I had gotten myself into the swing of blogging and then...well, I don't know what, life happened I suppose...and now I'm playing the hurry up and catch up game with friends and family. As many of you know, I've been managing a new coffee shop in town and in spite of the stress of a new business getting up and running, I'm very thankful for this job, the people I have to work with and the customers I've grown to care about.
Once again, my life is in transition; Josh and I are both transitioning. I haven't had the time for online things such as blogging, myspacing and facebooking. I'm sorry if I haven't been returning phone calls or emails as often as before. Thanks for all of you for understanding and still loving me and accepting my limited time gaps once again!
I'm so thrilled to announce the arrival of my new little niece, Ella Joy! She is absolutely adorable and I can't wait to meet her in person, hold her in my arms and some day, maybe play dress up or basketball or whatever it is that will make her who she is. She is so blessed with amazing parents who I know will do a fantastic job caring for her physical and spiritual needs and teaching her all the many wonders of her brand new world.
I also received word today that our college/young adult pastor and his wife just gave birth to their daughter today, Ryen Elizabeth! It's such an exciting time! Ryen is a wonderful addition to their family and I can't wait to meet her as well!
I remember when we got married, it seemed that most of our friends were already married or getting married. We now have like five or six couples that we know of who are engaged, many who have just given birth and many more who are on child two or three! Yikes! I think it's so fun to see all of these little lives grow up and then to see some of them become great friends!
I've been reminicing a lot lately, I guess I sure sign that I have been missing my family. The other day, my mom told me she was able to enjoy a lovely tea put on by some girlfriends. I so wish I could have joined them. Mom and I use to enjoy tea parties a lot together and then we would get together with friends and make scones, tea sandwiches, tiny desserts and other decandant luxuries. I miss those times. I hope to enjoy times like that again soon and enjoy new traditions with old and new friends!
We also just returned from our annual missions trip with our junior highers. We got back last Wednesday and life has been a big catch up since then...laundry, work, cleaning, reorganizing, etc. Candice...I haven't forgotten you and I would love to enjoy a few hours with you very soon and to see your recent arrival! Love you girl...you're in my prayers!
The missions trip was incredible, yet trying. It was a different year altogether. I'm trying to learn my limitations with my back and decided with Josh a head of time that it would be best for me not to be a team leader but to fluctuate between teams and jobs. While I didn't feel altogether as productive, I am quite thankful for the little conversations with kids...kids that I have been wanting to go deeper with and haven't been able to yet and with other staff members. God is doing some incredible things within our group and it's exciting to see.
God has still kept me in Proverbs. I've been journaling and reflecting on a small amount each day. I love His WORD...so powerful, so what I need for each and every moment.
I'll write more later. For now, I'm happy for the changes and the fact that one thing never changes...my Savior!
Goodnight friends!
