Been awhile

Well, I guess life has gotten in the way of my blogger time! It has been an amazing, overwhelmingly busy week.

First of all, a higlight...

It was VBS week at our church, and our theme was about construction and building your life on a firm foundation. Just as we were learning that all things built by man eventually crumble and fall, our very own 35W bridge was collapsing. An incredible reminder that there is no other foundation other than Jesus Christ. He is the only rock that will stand the test of time. While it was bitter sweet, it was a valuable lesson for our kids this week.

Second, thankfulness...

My children and I crossed the 35W bridge twice on Wednesday on our way up to the Roseville Archiver's to deliver some samples. It is a route I take often, as well as Brian. While we are thankful for God's divine protection, we also continue to pray for those suffering because of this tragedy. I told Brian just tonight, this family, the people in our lives, are more important in this life than anything else. It was and is a reminder to be thankful.

Finally, transitions...

I have been hired by a photographer to assist her occasionally. This is an incredible learning opportunity for me and I can't wait to soak it all up! AND, our Richfield home, where we've spent several years of happiness and love, will be officially on the market Monday morning. Our new adventure begins! While we don't exactly know how it will all turn out, we are hoping that we will be able to build a home in Farmington this winter. Many things have to happen in a certain order for this to become our reality. We trust our heavenly Father during this time of change. We are mostly moving to Brian's parent's home in Eden Prairie this weekend, so that we can have our house in "showable" condition whenever it needs to be. Having a crazy busy life and two boys makes us living here while showing a home a real challenge. We are fortunate that Brian's parents have an empty house in EP...

The boys are healthy and happy, and we couldn't be more blessed.
