An Update

So it's been awhile since I've blogged. I guess I was discouraged and just trying to focus on so many other things. :)Now summer is over and fall is here so our lives just keep getting busier but honestly better then they have been in so long. I'm really seeing God's faithfulness and direction in our lives and feeling content. Last month our summer ended with a huge trip down to a Stanford/OSU Beaver game in Palo Alto California...we also got to go down to Santa Cruz and the boardwalk, see family and friends and just get away. Here are some pics from Summers end for us...

Football Preseason is Here!!!!

Finally...after many long months of everything but football...tonight the first preseason game is officially on!!! :) It's such a relief for Jeph and I...we are so excited to finally have football back on!!!! As you know we are crazy for our Seahawks and Oregon State Beavers!! My dad has season tickets to the Beavers and has given us a ticket to every game we want!! Seahawks we have shared season tickets with my uncle Jim for the last few years. This year we put in for our own season tickets(so by next year) we should have them...we still intend to attend 3 games in Seattle this year we just can't ever live without it now!!:)

So tonight we are watching Sunday Night Football...eating dinner and finally feeling like it's time for fall and football!!!

Bring it on!!!

Cats

Well, Jeph and I have decided to get cats. They are 5 month old brothers with the best personalities. They are so sweet...we had a visit at our house last week and they were awesome!:) I can't wait!! By the end of July we will have 2 indoor cats..I'm actually excited to have cats and I hope that they will help me relax!
Here are some pics of Beowulf and Sebastian!

Happy Anniversary!!

6 years ago fourth of July weekend on the 6th I married my best friend and soul mate Jeph in a nighttime church wedding. There were lots of white candles, roses, friends and family...most of all it's the day Jeph and I began our life together. We've been through so much since we got together 7 years ago...but it's all been worth it every bit. If I could do it all over again I would in a heartbeat. It's been an amazing journey and I know we will continue to grow together and continue this journey. Only God knows what is in store for us but I'm excited to see God's plan for us!

Thanks honey for being an amazing husband! Although your not perfect...you strive to be the best man of God you can be and you are leading our family in God's ways. You are the best husband in the world and I know someday you will make an amazing father! I love you babe!! Lets always go from here....Because God led me to you we now are becoming who God wants us to be. I will always love you! Thanks for your continuing romanticness, love, support, kindness, willingness to always try, thoughtfulness. You always try to serve God the best you can and you attack life with amazing zest/devotion...thanks for being who you are!

Women of Faith Weekend!

So my sister in laws, mom in law have a tradition(this is the 2nd year)...we go one weekend in the summer to Seattle Washington for Women of Faith! It's a wonderful time...this year we were missing one sister Sarah :( but the rest of us were there and it was the best Women of Faith yet!
We stayed in a hotel in downtown Seattle, we volunteered one day which was so fun to be behind the scenes doing what we can do to help, we went shopping, we went out to dinner, we rode the monorail...it was just great! To top it all off God really was so present the whole weekend...in everyway. I feel so relaxed, rejuevenated, at peace and I know God is real and He is alive!!!!

Here are some pics from the trip! Enjoy!
