I feel like I have so much to say but can't remember all that needs to be said. Something will happen and I think "I need to blog about that" but since we didn't have internet for so long...I have already forgotten!! The best way to do this is to start typing and see what happens.
Things I'm Thinking...
1. I cannot believe that Brayden is going to be 11 months old on Wednesday. That means that she is going to be 1 year old in a month. It doesn't seem like I had her that long ago...time really does fly.
2. I love living in a house! It is so nice to be able to do laundry without looking in the cushions to find quarters for the machine. Having a backyard for Kennan to roam around is wonderful. He loves playing in his "sand box" (aka: an area of the backyard that might have once been a garden and is now weeds and some black dirt).
3. Kenny officially starts at the church tomorrow. We have been waiting for this day since he started Seminary in September of 2005. He has worked hard for this and I am excited to see what God will do through him for the people of our church and the community.
4. On the flip side of that...I am a little nervous about the whole "preacher's wife" idea and raising "preacher's kids". I know everything is going to be fine and I hope we live up to the expectations that everyone has for us.
5. I am taking a photography class with a few people from the church at a community college in town. They met last week for the first time but tonight was my first time to go. Our assignment for this week is to take self portraits. Ummm...not too sure how that is going to go!!!
6. Dish Network and DVR are the coolest!!! When we were in Princeton we just had the basic cable service that came with the apartment (we weren't allowed to have anything else). Well...we didn't know what we were missing!! I am DVRing (is that a word??) everything!! Food network is one of my faves!
7. On that note...I am confessing that I am addicted to reality TV. I think it is because I am able to see people doing things that I would never do, be able to do, or want to do. I am hooked on The Next Food Network Star, Design Star, The Bachelorette...you name it I probably have it DVR'd.
8. My parents are coming to see us this weekend. I am excited about showing them our new house and relaxing a bit. I miss my brother. He is busy at camp this summer and won't make it out here to see us at all. But I am looking forward mid August when we go to Galveston for a week with my family. It will be like a vacation...haven't had one of those in awhile!!!!
9. Thinking of my brother at camp makes me remember that Kenny and I met at summer camp 9 years ago this month. Our 5th wedding anniversary is in August. Really...where has the time gone???
10. The last thing I am thinking is that you people better comment!! Anybody reading this out there????

HEY! I finally feel caught up on your life in Pampa! Your house is so cute. You look so organized and so together!
DVR!?! Best thing ever invented. I tell Matt that if we ever got to this point, I'd rather give up food than or DVR. HA! It's the greatest!!
I too feel like this past year has FLOWN. How can these girls be turning 1 already? I just love this time in their lives. Becoming their own little person, but still my cuddly baby.
You will make the best "preachers family." I'm fully confident of that!!!
I'm reading it!!! So happy you guys are doing well. And the house is adorable!
I'm out here, I'm reading!! **Waves hand in the air** Living in a house is such a great feeling, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Brayden looks like such a big girl now. She's looking so grown up! Time really does fly.
Hey Jennifer! I'm reading too:) Your sweet family is going to bless your new church family so much! You will be a wonderful preacher's wife--just be yourself! DVR is won.der.ful. the best invention EVER:) Have fun with your photography class...sounds like a lot of fun and a great way to get to know some people from church.

"DVRing" is the best! Welcome to our/your new addiction! I want to see your self portrait that you take back to class ;).
Just have to say, I watch all three of those shows you mentioned. :) Do you think she'll pick Jason or Jesse?
It sounds like you will do fine in your new digs. I love my house too, especially not having the dogs in that tiny apartment! We've been here 9 months and things are going well. I am still adjusting to being the pastor's wife, but I think the expectations are somewhat light for me, other than participation. I hope it goes the same for you, or even better.

You guys are a great role model of a family for the church. Just lift all your worries to the Lord. The kiddos are just precious!
Oh, I am jealous of your cute house... I am not sure we are going to get anything that cute when we get to SA. But even if our house isn't cute it will be located in TX so that is an improvement in itself. :0)
Now you leave me a comment too!
Love your house in pampa! So cute! :) You will be a great preacher's wife!
Isn't DVR so fun!??I love to watch all my shows that I record.
We used to live in Amarillo...very windy and dry up there...great place to raise your fam!
Your house is great! I love all the wood, and the kitchen/office area is really cool!!! I'm glad everything is going well there.
DVR IS the best. IT is my favorite thing EVER.
Little Brayden is really growing up- love those teeth!
