HI people who hopefully still remember who we are!! So I finally got to the computer again. Where to start???!! Well, we moved from Middlebury to Centreville, MI, which is about a half hour apart. So now we have more room, an actual GARAGE, and Josie has her own room. I didn't realize it cost so much to live in MI (no wonder its a depressed area), but hopefully soon we will get through that transition. Oh by the way we are only like 2 minutes away from Eric's family so its nice to be able to see them more often. Josie is now 2 1/2. Yikes. I'd post pics but we don't have a digital camera yet (yes I know we are stone-age ;) Ha the sad part is I have pics of her still undeveloped in the canister. One of these days... Potty training. Yee ha. Going pretty well, actually. Phew. She is such a mixture of Eric and I. it is really cool to see. She's a beautiful, funny, smart, and growing more independent every day. She loves to read and draw (like both her parents). All she wants to draw is VeggieTales. She does a mean Larry and Bob. But she also loves watching 321 Penguins and Thomas the Train, etc. We have ended up being basically the youth leaders at our church. Unfortunately with the economy being not so good, the RV industry has taken a dip and many church members have lost work hours so therefore the offerings became lower, etc and our youth pastor had to be let go because the church could not pay his salary. So the kids kinda got stuck with us :) Totally blew me out of the water that it happened that way. But we couldn't let them down and just bail. So that's been really stretching. I know that 2 years ago I likely would have refused to work with the youth, based on not being confident in myself and what I am capable of. I really have been learning a LOT of things in the past 2 years that have changed my whole perspective on that. Really awesome. As a result, I love working with them. They really take me back to high school days. Hilarious. I think they may even like us as well.....:) God is so awesome. Eric's job has greatly slowed down. When people find that out, they seem to think that's a bad thing. I guess that's how the world is used to thinking, but I really find it EXCITING. Why? BECAUSE IT GIVES US THE CHANCE TO SEE WHAT WE ARE MADE OF!!! I am seriously and especially excited for this. I realize that may not make sense to some of you. But like I said, some of the things I have been learning are really creating freedom in my life in many areas. God has been so cool to bring certain people in our life lately. I just can't say it enough, He has brought us to a definite path here. I miss seeing friends!!! I do think of you and wonder how you are. I am sorry for not being able to be in good contact. Busy life!! We still do not have internet access and even today it has been weeks since i've checked email. But I do think of you. Thanks for what you have added to our life experience, if I have never told you that. I'm so grateful for the chance of knowing each and every one of you. Well I must go again for now. Love to all of you and thanks too. Love, Jen |
