29 Years! 3.25.12
Following in the footsteps of my mother, I like to make Birthday celebrations last days, weeks, and sometimes even entire months!! My Birthday celebration started a week ago when my wonderful in laws babysat so Travis and I could go to Indy to shop and eat! Then Thursday night at our usual 'girls night' and my friend brought a cake and made the night so special [which included a Juice Bar!]. Then on my actual Birthday, we had a family cookout and ended the night with our Small Group Cook-Out. What a great Birthday Week!! :)

Will I see you in heaven?
The Lord has been prompting me to start teaching the boys about sharing the Gospel. At lunch we were discussing the importance of having Jesus in our hearts. Caleb asked me if I thought our neighbors had Jesus in their hearts. I said that I didn't know but that we should begin praying for them. This did not satisfy his little heart. Caleb was headed for the door! I tried to appease him and asked him if we could call some people on the phone and ask them. He was persistent...his neighbors needed Jesus. On his tippy toes he reached up and rang their doorbells and when they came to the door Caleb asked, "Um excuse me- do you have Jesus in your heart?" All three neighbors said "Yes," and Caleb just said, "See you in heaven" as he headed to the next door. Just like that. Simple. When do I lose my urgency? I can remember being about 8 or 9 asking a man behind me at Dairy Queen if he died that night where would he go?' No fear. No pride. Just simple. Lord give me that boldness!!
Marriage Retreat- Gary Thomas
My mother informed us that Gary Thomas was coming to Sugarcreek, Ohio for a Marriage Conference. Gary wrote the book, Sacred Marriage so we JUMPED at the chance to go!! My parents watched the kids and we made a nice long weekend trip to Sugarcreek! Here's the Carlisle Inn...so wonderful!

The Best Valentine's Day!!
Valentine's Day this year has been the best!! It started off with an early morning visit to the Dentist for Caleb. I was dreading this appointment since it was made. However, Caleb was unbelievable! He sat in the chair with his hand resting on his head as if he were in a LazyBoy! He opened his mouth and stayed completely still...I kept pinching myself! He had the whole office cracking up with his 'animal knowledge!' Then it was off to Howard Haven Nursing Home. We had made valentines and went to deliver them to the residents there. I had been praying for ways to teach the boys compassion and we came up with this idea. Again, I was apprehensive about how the boys might respond to the residents but THEY LOVED IT. They bravely entered each room, distributed their valentines and treats and then shouted "Happy Valentine's Day!" Then it was off to lunch and the Dollar Store for a special V-Day treat! The evening ended with a family candlelight meal of Spaghetti followed by dancing to Frank Sinatra in the Living Room. So overwhelmed with love for this family the Lord has given me! :)
