Work...

Well...can I just tell you how much I love my new job!?!?!?! It is so nice to be able to use my talents and be appreciated for the work that I do. This past week I created a new bulletin format for our church and our Pastor LOVED it!! We had VBS all week last week at church. It was fun to be with kids again. It was also good for me to see their enthusiasim for God and their love for Him. It was also humbling to see them worship with each other. They don't care about what their peers think about them....they are dancing in the aisles, clapping, yelling etc. I wish I could be more like that. Wow, that was a bit too deep for a Blog entry. Anyways, this past weekend was good. Hefty and I went to Target (bad idea) Saturday am and purchased a bookcase for the condo. It only took us like 3 hrs to put it together---at least we didn't kill each other. Sunday we went to my mom's house for lunch along w/ the rest of the family. It was nice to be with the whole gang again. I really miss them when I don't see them. In the meantime, we are still "struggling" with the adoption process. I guess we are wondering when we should start the whole process....are we ready? can we afford it? can we make it as parents? That is my biggest fear---I have this little life dependent on me!! Am I really ready for that??!! It is something to be praying about. I also have picked up a few more hours at Family Fare now because I have Monday pm off at church, so I figured that I might as well. There really isn't too much other "stuff" going on in our lives. Hefty has been working alot of nights lately, which isn't fun at all. I don't like to be alone and I get BORED! Well, I hope that you all have a good night!!

This week

Well, it's been kind of an emotional week for us. Their has been a lot of stuff going on at our church with the DeKleine trial. I feel for the kids most importantly! We are continually praying for them, although we may not know how to pray for this sort of situation. We just pray that God would give them what they need.....and He knows :-) That's what is so cool about God....He knows what we are feeling and what we need. I ask that you be in prayer for the whole family as well as this trial continues.
On a much happier note, it was my birthday on Tuesday! I am now a "quarter of a century old" as my husband likes to remind me. I had to work all day, kindda a bummer, but then we went to Applebees for dinner. That is one of my favorite places to eat! Then we went home and relaxed for the night....it was nice not to be busy. Tonight I am going to eat some pizza with my dad, stepmom and sibs for my bday. It should be fun. I think that it is so weird how as you get older, birthdays don't seem to mean as much. Once you pass 21, there really isn't alot to be excited about. We have vacation Bible school next week at church! That should be a great time! I am excited to see all the little kids there.
Meanwhile, Hefty has been working A TON lately. He has been working alot of nights lately, which I don't like really. I work during the day, so sometimes, we don't see each other until 11:30 at night, and by then, I am asleep. Well, anyways, I should get going. I hope all is well with you! Megan
