It has been brought to my attention that "the gang" is not a cool name for our group.
So, please post your suggestions for what to call ourselves (as many as you want) and I will host a vote on Monday the third of July. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hip Hip Hurray!!

The forth of July is coming and the gang is going to go to Holland to watch the fireworks so I thought I would post a picture to get everyone in the mood. Besides, it adds sparkle to my blog.
Have a great day everyone!

Please...

I need some prayer and encouragement so I thought I would ask my blogger buddies if you could help. I'm going through a hard time right now with my family. I need the grace to carry through this because, unless God does a miracle, it's going to take a while. Only God knows the seasons and times. In the meantime, it's breaking my heart. I have wept on Chris' shoulder many times and cried out to God in my heart. Sometimes I just get so frustrated because I can't fix it. I can't fix it... help me Lord to lay it down at your feet and leave it there.
Chris has been such an amazing support in all of this. I thank God for him and for his strength and faith. Thank all of you for your love. I'm grateful for all of you.

I'm Baaaaaaack.

Hello everybody! I'm back in action on blogger. Oh, how I've missed my little blogger soap box.
I know all of you have too. I just want to thank all of you for doing what you could to keep each other busy while I was away.
I was going to blog about the wedding and our trip but I think I'll wait untill I can include some pics. Stephenie has been so kind as to invite me to use her scanner. Most of you have already seen the pics and heard the stories anyway so a little delay won't kill anyone.
Chris and I had the gang over on Saturday for a Lost marathon and we had a great time.
Our eyes were a little buggy and our rears were a little stiff but we went for a walk after everyone went home and we have recovered.
We're getting into it now and can't wait for the second half. How about another marathon? How about July first? That's two weeks from now. Maybe we can order pizza this time. Let us know if that will work for everyone or not. Maybe everyone would prefer to just watch them one disk at a time. That's fine too, just let us know. If someone else wants to host it, that's fine too. We love having everyone over we just don't want to be social hogs.
I am really looking forward to camping this year! Stephenie and I go every year and we have such a wonderfully relaxing time. This year we invited Leslie and Colleen to join us and I think they are going to be a great addition to the fun. I always feel so relaxed when I'm camping. I like the feeling of not having to answer the phone or be anywhere at any particular time. I love falling asleep on the beach and gazing off into the fire at night, talking about some deep subject with my truest friends. There just isn't anything quite like it. This year I will probably go camping a couple of times. I will probably go one weekend with Chris and maybe we will take Zack on another weekend. I love spending my days in the Sun and can't wait to get started.
