The Shepherds: December 2009

Quotable Quote

" I bend to sweep crumbs and I bend to wipe vomit and I bend to pick up
little ones and wipe away tears... And at the end of these days I bend next to
the bed and I ask only that I could bend more, bend lower. Because I serve a
Savior who came to be a servant. He lived bent low. And bent down here is where I see His face. And people say, “Don’t you get tired?” and yes, I do. But I’m face to face with Jesus in the dirt, and the more I bend the harder and better and fuller this life gets. And sure, we are tired, but oh we are happy. Because bent down low is where we find fullness
of Joy.” ― Katie J.Davis

I hate posts without pics....

But I am forcing myself to update at this point without them. I got them all prepared and now I can't find my camera chip so this will be a pic-less post.

It was Ryan's birthday yesterday. I cannot believe I am married to a 30 year old. That sounds ancient. I know it is still young, but it just seems old. We also celebrated our 8th anniversary yesterday. It is so nice to just be in a groove and be comfortable with each other and not worry about all the stuff you worry about when you're dating. I remember going to the Olive Garden when we were dating and getting the Alfredo pizza even though I really wanted the Alfredo pasta, because I was so freaked out that the pasta would be too messy to eat. Ha Ha. What a joke! Now I have no shame. We went to Chuck-A-Rama last night and I went back a ton of times for more food. It's nice to just love each other and not worry about what each other thinks as much. I know I am just rambling. Anyway the kids and I made Ryan a cake and then Gavin came over to play and we just had a good time. After we put the kids in bed, Grandpa watched while we went out to eat. Ryan spent the meal time begging me to go price PS3's with him. I have never even heard of them. I utterly refused his requests so we went home and he watched football while I read The Da Vinci Code.

Ok, better posts coming soon.

p.s Ryan was kind enough to buy me roses and my favorite chocolates to celebrate our anniv.
