High School Fall Retreat

This past weekend, we had a blast at our High School Retreat. We had 30 students come and had a great time in worship and learning about being Living Sacrifices.

I also introduced the students to the game Pit. I heard comments like "This is the best game EVER!" You can see us playing it in the video.

Houdini

We have a Houdini in our house. His name is Cooper. There have been a few times when we have come home and Cooper has escaped from his crate.

His latest escapade has been escaping from the backyard. There is a corner in the yard that was not connected between fences. First we put up some temporary nylon fencing. He just ripped through. Next we put boards in front no help.

Joe then decided to put a wall of concrete blocks up. Look at what he does!

 

We can't keep him in! Luckily he doesn't really go anywhere but how tall do we have to build that thing?

Do You Have Kids?

We get this question a lot. I usually just simply answer "No." And let the conversation move on. Do you say that we've been trying for quite awhile? That we had two positive pregnancy tests and no babies? That if we had it our way we would be holding our four month old?

 

I never thought that this would be our experience. That every month hopes rise and fall. That every funny feeling, every mood change is a hope that this time it will be good. I never thought I would look at my cycle so much. I never thought I would struggle with hard feelings when it seems that everyone is getting pregnant and we are not.  Surely that would never happen to us.

 

I so wish my faith was stronger to whisper to my heart in times of uncertainty.

My Week @ Work

As you have noticed  by my lack of blogging that  I am back in my work mode. After two more days of hospital orientation (which totaled 7), I finally spent two days on my unit.

My brain is officially on overload. There is so much to learn! I got to help circulate three c sections this week. One of them was twins. Very exciting! The only thing that was distracting was that my role was to help with surgery and not to look at the baby. Hard, right?

Yesterday was my first 12 hour shift. Not very fun but I think I'll get used to it. However the drive home was hard. But Joe had Olive Garden waiting for me and then I went to bed at 9! Ha!

Now I have 5 days off in a row! But then I work 6, 12 shifts in 7 days..fun! Not.
