catching up...

gosh. it's been a while since april. time flies...lots of excuses come to mind, but basically i just haven't made the effort to post anything. not that anyone reads this.
life is just busy. all the time, it seems.
we've had quite a crazy strech since we returned to banning from our cross-country adventure.
hannah turned two. yikes! we traded in the saturn for a subaru. (check that off my"life list"!) (i know...DORK) we have enjoyed an exciting summer...mike's folks moved back into town, allowing for more "grandparent time", not that we were lacking, it's been a zillion degrees almost every day, yuck...i am so very much not a fan of the heat...hannah and mommy got to fly to buffalo, ny to visit with relatives on mommy's side of the family, so much fun...we hit the zoo, minor leauge baseball, pennsylvania - nana's old house, house washing, sprinklers, wading pools, parks, ted's hot dogs!, and lots of time with grammy!
i'll try to get some pictures up sooner rather than later. we just got a laptop and are in the process of transferring our life from the desktop.

something of note: lately, i have been enjoying more and more reading emery's blog (http://www.emeryjo.blogspot.com/) she has been posting installments of "the chris and emery story." it's the story of their relationship, it's very real and very touching and very personal.
thank you emery, for putting that part of you out there.

part two of "of note": i feel like i am really coming to terms with who i am as a sinner, fallen, not worthy. with who i am because of what Christ did for me as a sinner, by dying as a sacrifice, clean, blameless, to take the penalty of sin in my place. i am so thankful for what He has done for me. for what He has done for every sinner. i am so excited about knowing more about who God has planned for me to be in Him. i pray for Him to be glorified in my life.
