I thought summer was supposed to be relaxing...

So I really thought this summer I would have more time to keep up with this thing. Alas, life keeps getting in the way. Here's what we've been up to:

Stephen resigned as youth pastor at Amelia Nazarene. His last day was June 1st. We were very sad to go, but it was time to move on. We prayed about it a ton, and felt God leading us away from there. We are trying to wait very patiently to see what is the next chapter in our lives. We miss the kids there a lot. It seems weird not seeing them at least twice a week.

I think we're going to send Lexi to Hogwarts in a couple of years. Who knew there was a witch in our family?! We're all so proud! (Isn't it cool what you can do with sparklers and a camera on the 4th of July?)
Holly got married! Isn't she gorgeous? I got in a fight with Betsy. Weddings are so dramatic! We eventually made up and took this adorable picture. Can you believe that on Tuesday it will be 2 years since this happened? Time flies when you're having fun!

Kitty the Cripple

So the long and short of it is: I have a sever stress fracture in my fibula on my right leg. I've had this boot on for 6 weeks, and hopefully only have one more to go. I don't know the specific incident that the fracture happened. But I do know that I was still running/rolling blading/playing kickball on it about a month after it started hurting. That didn't help at all...I have to wear a walking boot and it is hot, smelly, and an absolute murderer of fashion. BUT I do get ride around on the motorized carts at the grocery store :)
I'm in a wedding tomorrow, and I refuse to wear the boot!

Long Time, No Talk

I have some pics to show everyone, but I can't find the cord thingy that plugs into my camera and the computer. Until then, please be patient with me.

Things have been rough around here lately. The short of it is: Lily hurt her OTHER leg, and will probably have to have surgery, and we have having some financial issues and church issues. We could really use your prayers right now!

My sister, my cousin Nic, and I are headed to Louisiana tonight. We are going to see my mom's side of the family and I get to see Rhino Roles!!! This is the first time I've been in Louisiana in about 15 years. The last time was when my Grandpa Johnson passed away. We will be there for a week!

I'm sad to be leaving Stephen for a whole week...A week seems like a year to me right now ;)

I love you all, and I promise to post pictures when I find that cord thingy!

March 2008

We had a blizzard here at the beginning of March! I don't think I've ever seen that much snow in Cincinnati before. It was nice! Cleo loved playing in the snow!

I was trying out some different functions on my camera. One is that you can take 3 continuous pictures by pushing the button once! Of course, the dogs were my subjects :)

Going...

Going...

Gone!

How can you not love that face?

February 2008

I went to Columbus to stay a weekend with my sister. I also got to see Tucky, my best friend from college. It was the first time we saw each other since July. We had soo much fun!

Also got to see this handsome boy for the first time. He kept smiling at me, and it totally made my day!
We went to Lexi's gymnastics competition too! She's the tiny one in green and black.


She got 1st All-Around! Soooo proud of her!

January 2008

Sorry for the long absence... I have wanted to blog, but when I've actually had a spare second blogging has been the furthest thing from my mind. Here is what you missed in January:

This is possibly my favorite picture EVER! This is how we rang in the New Year...By banging on pots at midnight! :)New Year, New 'Do. I got 10 inches cut off my hair to give to Locks of Love. Here is the finished product. What do you think?


My mom and I took a little road trip down to Cumberland, KY to see my cousin Debra cheer. As you can see, she's pretty dang talented!



I tried to get a picture with me and the pups, but Lily was way more interested in licking my arm. Cleo looks cute anyway.


Our current favorite restaurant is O'Charley's. Delicious! Here, Steve enjoying some of the scrumptious Overloaded Potato Soup.
