Something new and exciting
Since we moved our blog over to wordpress, Nathan has been more interested and excited about being more involved in the blog. I’ve been trying to think of things that would be fun for him to write about or to work on to tweak the layout. Today, after signing Nathan up for a 5k race, I started thinking more about this blog and what I want to do with it. I really enjoy writing about our family and life. I was thinking about what would be fun, interesting and beneficial.
That’s when this great idea came to me. Wouldn’t it be cool if Nathan and I could read a marriage book together and then take turns writing out our thoughts? So, I suggested the idea to Nathan and he said to go for it! We don’t have all the details worked out yet, but we are going to be reading Love and War: Finding the MarriageYou’ve Dream Of by John and Stasi Eldredge. I think we’ll have one day a week when we’ll do a post on our thoughts on the book.

The book has been ordered and I’m looking forward to digging in to it. Stay tuned. I know you’ll enjoy hearing more from Nathan.
Happy Anniversary
On Saturday, Nathan and I celebrated our 5th anniversary- apart. I was at a retreat with the women from our church and Nathan and the kids were at home. I left a gift for Nathan and he sent one with me. It was so funny to read the card that Nathan got for me and to realize that the things he wrote on the card were almost the same exact phrases that I wrote on his card.
It was nice to get home. I enjoyed my time away, but it made me anxious to see them. I have a busy day of getting ready for tonight’s Daniel study. I’m a little behind on that so I’ll work on it during nap time.
Audrey had her 2 year well-baby checkup today. She was 27lbs, 8 oz. I don’t remember what percentage that was, but she’s perfectly healthy and good proportion for height to weight. She’s doing all the things she is supposed to be doing. I wasn’t worried, but it’s nice to have confirmation.
Have a happy Monday.
