Well it is that time...

I never really considered having my blog private while there are no kids in the picture for Mike and I.  I guess I just never realized how many people could and actually would read our silly blog.  I love that we all have the ability to stay connected to people and what they are doing through blogs.  However, I would like to keep the creeps away.  So I've decided to go private with our blog.  So friends, family, co-workers (old and new), and anyone who is not a creep feel free to leave your email addresses if you would like to keep up with us.  Comment moderation is on so no one else will be able to see your email address.  I stole this idea from a friend and I hope she doesn't mind....but we'll keep this blog as an update blog and our private blog will be at a new address.  Thanks everyone!!  Happy Blogging!!

confession

This week I have learned something about myself....
I could spend hours in places like...

Why you may ask?

Maybe it is my Organizing fetish.

Maybe it is a strange love of Office supplies.

Maybe I'm just weird.

Also, Dishwashers and I have a love/hate relationship.
Here is my plea:

Why must you cause problems when I need you most?  I've been feeling crummy and the dishes have piled higher than normal.  Please don't break down when you are only 2 months old!

Geez, I wonder if we can get a refund?

Quickie

I fully believe that life just does not slow down.  This can of course be a good thing, however,  blogging does not usually end up at the top of the list.  So here's the rundown:

Mike

• Still working at Fusion Imaging and absolutely loving it.  He works extremely hard and has some great success because of that.
• Primary teacher of the 6-year olds and wow, they are a rowdy bunch!  He is great with them though and they of course love Brother Mike.
• School...well let's not go there...online is rough to keep up with.

Kourt

• Started working at a Chiropractic office in January.  It was a scary move to make because America First is a great, consistant job.  Higher pay, better hours, closer to home, and a great future outweighed that though and I made the change.  It has been so great and a HUGE challenge.  I love it though and am starting to feel more comfortable in my role as office manager.
• Spends Sundays in the Nursery...and I LOVE it.  Those kids are so darn cute and it definitely makes the two hours I spend with them go by really quickly.  I don't know what I'll do once I have to start actually going to a class!
• School...once again, let's not go there...

We are also planning an addition to our little family...our puppy will hopefully be born this week!  I can't wait!

What Makes A Hero

What Makes a Hero

What is it that makes a hero?

Super Vision:

The ability to see into ones’ soul and uplift.

Protective Instincts:

Especially for one’s family for they are God’s greatest gift.

A Pure Heart:

To house love, the strongest power of all.

Fight:

One must complete their duty no matter what the call.

Super Strength:

Not necessarily in the muscles; it comes from within.

Hope and Knowledge:

That the hero will win.

Mike's cousin Robbie finished his test here on earth about a week and a half ago.  Robbie was one that Mike always looked up to not only as a cousin but as a brother.  I have only had the opportunity of meeting Rob a few times.  However, I have learned a lot about him the past couple of weeks.  Rob had quite the battle in his life and I think he came out victorious.  Rob is definitely a hero.

We love you Rob!
