"
My story is important not because it is mine, God knows, but because if I tell it anything like right, the chances are you will recognize that in many ways it is also yours… it is precisely through these stories in all their particularity, as I have long believed and often said, that God makes himself known to each of us more powerfully and personally. If this is true, it means that to lose track of our stories is to be profoundly impoverished not only humanly but also spiritually."

Hahahahaha


Found this funny tin at this antique store in downtown Hillsboro when we went to the farmers market yesterday. It was a great night, and topped off by this art that I HAVE.TO.HAVE! Explains perfectly how I feel sometimes, even though Jason is a great husband and helps out more than his share most of the time! Thought y'all would enjoy it!

Summer Fun

Jason is taking the summer off from medical school prep which has been SOOO nice. We have been going to movies, working out, laying by the pool and taking nice leisurely walks with the dogs. I know that this time together won't last forever, so I am trying to treasure it as much as possible. By next summer, we will be applying to med schools and will hopefully have a baby by then, as well, so I know that this will be the last summer of just the two of us being able to relax and enjoy eachother. I am very glad he was able to take the summer off and I am SOOO looking forward to Mexico in a few weeks!

Another point: I went to Fred Meyer's today to buy the dogs a baby pool. I have another baby pool but it is at my sister's for Diesel and Woody. I shoved it in the car, lugged it through the house, filled it up and... Duke tiptoed into it and then ran inside as fast as he could. Okey.... Obviously I am under appreciated.

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Instead of discussing the hilarious things my kids do under "Teaching Tidbits," I will now title the posts "Out of the Mouths of Babes," as I am not currently teaching but instead nannying for Nolan and Bella. Here is the newest story.

We were playing a game by the makers of Cranium. It is similar to Cranium, super fun, but has a cool timer and etch-a-sketch thing-a-ma-jig. To make a long story short, when it was my turn the kids had to guess what I thought was the first thing people noticed about me (when they first met me). I wrote down my personality, thinking that the kids might say I was fun or funny or nice or something along those lines. The actual responses?

Nolan: Your head.
Bella: Your earrings.

Awesome.

I am searching Victoria's Secret online and trying to spend my e-card from Jason for my birthday on a swimsuit that will not make me feel fat and ugly. I have cute tops but no cute bottoms, courtesy graduate school and 10 pounds. Traumatized. Don't want to go to Mexico anymore.
