so much for more faithful blogging...

man, so much for making good on my word about blogging more consistently! go ahead and say it out loud - i hear you - yeah, i pretty much suck!


there is a ton to tell to bring each of you to speed on the henderson abode and happenings...first things first, i really do want to list the love dares Troy has covered in our class to date - i need to snag the book from him to get them on here in order. i am really enjoying seeking and understanding in more detail God's definition of love and specifically what that means for loving my husband. it has been really neat to share the journey with the couples in our class and see how God has given each of us our own unique love stories. fyi, my pastor once said that my husband pretty much rocks the planet and not that i'm bias or anything, but i have to totally agree. he impresses me more and more and i fall more in love with him all the time.

speaking of this God character, he sure does have a way of melting a girls' heart. in the past few months He has shown up in my life proving yet again He has everything in control. i have seen my dear friend beat thyroid cancer. i have seen Him work in our church youth group and change young peoples' lives. He has worked out a nifty little plan that is going to allow me to begin working part-time in the next week and a half!!! most of all, He has filled me with a thirst and hunger to seek after Him in a way I haven't in a long time. I am enjoying the adventure so much. I have more peace about my purpose (His purpose) in life and for the first time I am really beginning to wrap my arms around the "love God, love others" mentality. God is good and I am really looking forward to the opportunity to serve Him more now that I don't have to focus on work so much.

Emma is chatting up a storm. Her task de'jour is calling her family and friends from my cell phone each night. She is a total crack up at it too! Last night she told me "i talk to sta-ey" - who she hasn't seen in a month or so. When I got Stacey on the phone Emma asked her "where your puppy?" - she is such a ham! Her last day of day care is this Friday - it's kind of bitter sweet for me because i always wanted my children in a structured learning environment with kids their own age. On the flip side, Troy will be able to spend more time with her and she with him...and on Troy's off days we will have the majority of the day to spend together as a family when i get off work.


here is a recent pic of em and a photo of me, amber, brandi, tiffany and stacey at stacey's celebration cookout - she beat thyroid cancer and graduated with her master's degree all in the same month!
