This past semester the Lord called me away from school and the life I was living. He called me into a life to be lived for His purpose. As of right now I'm waiting for what He's calling me to next, but as I wait I have found myself more at peace than I have been in several years. It's amazing how God works :)
So, because I am no longer attending school and do not have a job as of yet, I have time to blog! And so it begins! Hopefully I can keep up with it this time!
Just last month, my brother, dad and I traveled out to Idaho to visit my cousins! We always have a wonderful time when we get together; I wish it would happen more often! It's kind of funny how well we get along, but I credit it all to the bloodline :) My dad had 19 cousins and they would spend every summer together at the lake, several of them attended the same schools and they all lived relatively close to each other. It's just what our family does.. we spend quality time with each other doing things we love. That's one of the things I love so much about my dad's family. You can call up a cousin (mine or my dads) whenever you need, and they're there for you. Love it.
Here are a few pictures from our trip..
Rebekah and I on our ice skating adventure.. ha that's one heck of a story.. :P
Sledding!
Some of our many treats we made... 116 peanut butter balls, 67 oatmeal cranberry cookies dipped in white chocolate, 100 peanut clusters, some crazy number of chocolate chip cookies and reindeer cookies...
T-Bone! My cousins cow!
We had a blast! And I can't wait to see them again! One night my cousin Michael, his wife and their 3 boys came over for dinner. It was great to catch up with them.. the last time I'd seen Mike and Mandi was just a few days before they got engaged and now they have three children! Unfortunately we didn't get to see Meagan and her daughter or Melissa and her husband and 4 kids (and another on the way!). Maybe soon though!!
