Water. Water. Everywhere. Literally.

Both of our bathrooms flooded. Not once. Twice. In the same day. It's 11pm. I haven't eaten since 1pm. I'm hungry, on my period, and about to cry. If you're a woman, you feel my pain. If you're a guy reading this, sorry to be descriptive. I'm trying to suck it up.

Caio.

Many, Many Congratulations!!!

Congratulations to the Katies :)

Updates:

Katie Battaglia had her baby!!!!! A lovely little girl.

Katie Thomas is pregnant!!!!!

Congratulations, you two! It's been wonderful to see the Lord work through both of your lives as He brings you to this exciting and new season. Yipee for babies!

It's Saturday... What am I doing?

CLEANING! My lawn this time. :-) We're pulling up all of the bushes in front of our bay window and around the front of the house. It should be quite the project.

I'm hoping to plant Indian Hawthorns where boxwoods once stood. We'll see!

Wish us luck!!!

If you were wondering what I'm doing today...

I'm CLEANING! (With my new handy-dandy swifter mop too!) Adios! 'Bought to rock out to Avril Lavigne and scrub some floors.

Ciao.

To the most awesomest man in my world:

I miss you terribly, my Love. The house is so quiet. My dinner's so cold. It's been Monday for the past week. So this goes out to you:

I love you! I miss you! And I look forward to your arrival! One week left, Baby!!!! Yippee!

I find it so exciting to know that there's a joyous reunion awaiting me. Which reminds of another meeting that will eventually come: that of my heavenly Father and His Son. Oh to see the day! I sure do look forward to heaven. Missing Michael this much reminds me to long for my heavenly home and the One who made it possible for me to enter. I hate the time apart from my husband - how much more should I long for heaven?

Lord, thank you for giving me a tangible means through which I can get a glimpse at heaven. Thank you for paving the way, for opening the gates, for cleansing me of that which separated me from You, my sin. And, Lord, thank you for so richly blessing me with Michael. He is my completion. Without him, part of me is missing. Please help me take full advantage of the precious time I have with him and help me seek to be a blessing to him. Thank you for the gift of marriage.

Thank you for Michael!

Michael, thank you for loving me so richly. It amazes me to see the Lord working in you to form you more into His image. You blow me away. Thank you for being tender to the Gospel and the Holy Spirit. I love to look back and see exactly how God has altered you from the first time we met. And to see how He has knit our hearts together to be one in this journey we have set out on. You are so amazing. Therefore, I dub you the most amazing, hottest, and awesome man in the world. I love you awfully!

Love,

Me

To Georgia and back again.

I'm home after a long weekend full of working, packing, unpacking, traveling, playing with a two year old... you get the drift.... I'm happy to be home!

Michael is also gone at this time. This is the first time that he has really been away from me. We've been communicating through e-mail, when I have internet access which hasn't been that often. I've really been convicted about how I spend my days without Michael to care for.

Here was my schedule for today:

7:00am - Breakfast at some hotel outside of Emporia

8:15am - on the road home

10:30am - at the store deciding whether or not to unload (I did have a nap on the road)

11:45am - finished up at work and drove Elaine home

12:30pm - I realized that I had left my can opener at Joy's house. (I was in dire need of it because I didn't have any food at home and the only thing I was craving - I'm not pregnant :p - was beans and hot dogs)

1:30pm - home after getting my can opener and picking up two movies

2:00pm - lunch and a movie, ok, two movies

5:00pm - I piddled around the house washing sheets and cleaning up

7:00pm - I'm still piddling

9:00pm - piddling some more

Now - I'm tired and ready for my own bed!

So was it okay to not be as resourceful (sp?) with my day as I could have? I don't know. It kinda felt good to not have an agenda and only need to worry about how I'm being taken care of.

Hmmm.

And, I didn't mention this earlier, but I have found that I'm a pretty big baby when my husband leaves. :) I was almost a bucket of tears when he left on Monday and now I'm counting down the hours till Thursday!

I'll get used to it I suppose. The Lord is my strength!

For all of my readers...

Please lift up Jen Napier in your prayers!
