47 years

my parents are celebrating 47 years together today!! amazing isn't it? the best part is they are still very much in love! we still see them holding hands while driving or sitting next to each other. they hold hands while they take walks. they still dance in the kitchen to "their" music. they travel together, they eat together, they work together...the love each other! they raised 4 of us kids plus the many others that we brought home. they took us on memory making vacations and taught us how to work. i'm sure my siblings will say i didn't have to learn that last one, but i did.

i'm thankful that they are still healthy and active. still showing so many others what marriage looks like, and enjoying this life that God gave them.

happy anniversary to my favorite couple!!!

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
