Girls Road Trip!

-
Picture it: 10 girls, 1 RV, no kids, a whole weekend in MN!! I am pumped! Just bought my ticket today to go see Beth Moore in MN in July with some friends from church. We are going to drive the 5 hours in a big RV, organize meals to make together, camp in it, go to the Women's conference Friday night and Sat morning, and shop downtown Minneapolis! My kids are already embracing for a weekend with dad and no mom (I think they are excited to sleep on my side of the bed the most) - this will be my first real road trip since having all the kids and I am finally able to go ALONE (no children attached to any part of me)! I'll take some pictures and let you know how it goes for John all day Friday through Sunday (the weekend of July 18th)...

Oh yeah, John and I are going to be returning to Minneapolis in Sept for the Annual Desiring God conference again this year too, and we just got our rooms for that...again kid-free! We have gone 3 years now and had to take 2 babies who were nursing for 2 years...I think I am really LOVING this being done having kids and nursing thing already - we are even going to go out of town for our 10 year anniversary for a weekend this summer! This weekend we are taking a FAMILY vacation to Omaha to go to a dinner for a friend of John's who is being ordained as a minister and then a quick trip to the zoo...I'll post some pics when we return.

Sounds like so much fun!! I am so jealous - I rarely get out of the house without one child attached to me! Gosh, I don't even know how Frank would handle taking care of all the kids all by himself for longer than a couple hours. It'd be interesting to find out, though. Hee hee! Where could I go? I'm gonna have to think about this! Have a great time!

Our 2024 Christmas Update

-

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
