Sunday

Sunday we had a great day at church. During Sunday School, we had a professor of archaeaology and the Old Testament come and take us through the timeline of King's and showed a slideshow of what the land looks like today...it was really cool. Sunday evening we learned about a traditional Passover meal and what it was like that night at the Last Supper. You had to be there, but it was very interesting. :) We ate bitter herbs and I almost gagged...hehe.

We also got to spend some time with the Curlings. We don't see them very often, and Mrs. Eva was kind enough to make us lunch and open her home to us in between church services. She also took some great shots with her fancy camera.

I love this song.

I know that I'm not worthy to call upon your name
All my life I've been a sinner and for that I am ashamed
But I heard that you would listen so I'm giving you my plea
I'm too unworthy Lord, to come to you
Could you please come down to me?

I know that there are others who could offer more than I
I promise you I'd understand if for me you had no time
I think I've just hit bottom and I'm looking up to see
I'm too unworthy, Lord, to come to you
Could you please come down to me?

I guess I must be reaping from the seeds that I have sown
Lord, you owe me nothing, we haven't spoken for so long
If you could spare some mercy
I'll pledge my life to thee
I'm too unworthy, Lord, to come to you
Could you please come down to me?

Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me

Well, we are about 6lbs away from talking to a recruiter. The excitement is too much to handle. I was told yesterday that the wait time to leave for basic training will be 3-6 months. Hence why I am so anxious for James to enlist. I need some change. He's doing good, though, so I shouldn't complain.

I have kind of reached a plateau in my happy-ness these days. I feel like I'm trapped in a box and am itching to get out. On the one hand, I have a great job that pays me way too much. I love it, but I don't. I am ready to pursue something I can really excel at. What is that? I have no idea. We are blessed with a home that isn't too expensive, but basically we are getting what we pay for. Not so great... We have all managed to stay sick for several weeks and its getting old.

I think Cadence is scared of her room, too. She won't go to sleep in there anymore. I let her fall asleep with me, stick her in her bed, and between 1-3 am it is for sure that I will hear from her. She cries hysterically when she is in there awake. I don't believe in ghosts...but does she have one? Any advice for me?

Oh, and I hope everyone tuned in for American Idol last night. Archuleta totally stole the show...but I'm biased as I have loved him from the very beginning. Cook seems extremely self absorbed when the judges are praising him.

The waters have been quiet

Not much going on these days, really. Cadence is sick AGAIN, and the doc says there is nothing wrong with her. What does he know? Luckily, she has a follow up from her tube surgery tomorrow so hopefully that ENT can tell us if there is something wrong. Oh, and she is 31.5 lbs of love these days...

I'm coping with the loss of my best friend, but it's hard. No, she didn't pass away, but she moved...so I'm in mourning. Getting used to her NOT being here hasn't been easy; I keep thinking "Hey, maybe Amber will want to meet for lunch today...", yeah right, Brittany.

Still praying about joining the military. James is still doing good with his exercise/diet regimen. We'll see if it pays off. The thought of moving is really exciting to me. I think it would be good for us. Only God knows right now, though!
