Tonight...

Tonight I was reminded of how sweet our leaders in Chi Alpha are. Honestly, I love each and every one of them dearly! They are each so unique and special to me, and us as a group. Yet, tonight I was reminded that no matter how unique each of us is, we are all here, together, for the same purpose. The girl leaders met together tonight, there were 9 or 10 of us tonight and it was beautiful. Each of these girls loves these college students like no one I have ever seen...they really care and really want to see each and every one of them follow Jesus! I can't begin to tell you what all was discussed, but what I can say is that being with them, even with my sweet (LOUD) baby walking around the room, there was such a sweet spirit in the room, such a sincere time of being together, talking about life and just loving each other. I Love these girls...really I do!! Thank you Jesus for giving me (and Will, and Emma, and baby) the opportunity to be here and serve these girls (and boys) the way you have taught us. Thank you that those that have come before us, have taught us these things and loved and cared for us more than we had(have) ever experienced. Thank you for continuing to call people like us to work on college campuses showing people what it means to really LOVE YOU!

Today is the day...

that I will begin "blogging" regularly. I don't really love the idea of doing it, but what I do love is reading other people's blogs!!! I love reading new things about people and their families and other things. So I decided that I should do the same! And if no one ever reads it, thats ok...atleast I will have it for when emma gets older and wants to know what life was like "back in the day" :)

So just as a short update. Today was MLK day. A holiday of sorts...so Will took a little time to clean the garage and then we headed to the pond to feed the ducks! Em
ma had a GREAT time. She loved it and so did we. I will post some pictures. She loves being outside and next to her daddy. I'm usually walking several steps behind holding my cam
era (hence all of the pictures from their backs!)

Yesterday we had church...then lunch with 2 of our favorite people (KIM and Bo) Emma is a bit addicted to Kim...and as far as Bo goes...well Emma doesn't really know about him yet. She better start to like him because he and Kim will be getting married June 6. She does love Kim though...It is wonderful to watch! I love the fact that she enjoys being with Kim so much and my goodness what a better person for emma to love. This girl (kim) amazes me and we love her. OK...so then we had dinner with 4 of our other favorite friends (Chris, Hosanna, Jonathan, and Kayla). We had a wonderful time! It was a wonderful day that we spent with super people. 













And tonight, Monday, before Will put her to bed, he read her her favorite book. Brown Bear Brown Bear...the kid loves this book. I have 
a great video of the nightly routine but its like a minute long...so I dont 
know if I will post it or not. But in the mean time, picture it, :) ...
