He's still thinking about taking this class again but this group won't be together any more. They have worked so hard on this car and this weekend was a lot of fun. They got to show off the new fiberglass body and everything. They were quite the hit!Yesterday Kyle saw this when he was leaving his last class.I'll post more pics when I'm not on my phone.

One cliffhanger after another.We don't know what's going to happen, frequently.And I don't like it.First, it's what's going to happen regarding our infertility (and obviously that's ongoing). Then it's what's going to happen with our jobs (I need a new one that pays better and gives me insurance/benefits, Kyle just needs one that's going to pay him regularly)? After that it's what's going to happen [..]

The Class.I can't remember if I've mentioned it, other than in my last post, but one of the changes that Kyle and I have been going through is him going back to school.His body is falling apart from working in construction for so many years and he's just done with owning his own business and all that comes with that.Over the next couple of months he's going to be phasing himself out of his business, and giving the company to his partner completely, and becoming a full-time student.

In telling you about our Anniversary / birthday weekend, I left you with the fact that we're total party animals {HA!}!So, on Saturday {Kyle's birthday} we woke up to rain and got ourselves ready to go and find some breakfast. I think by the time we found a place that had food I could eat, it ended up being more like brunch. We found a very eclectic place called Cabin 12. It had some super yummy food. I thought I took a picture of the place but I guess I didn't. Fun place, though!I got the [..]

Before I tell you about my Valentine's Day, let me tell you about the sermon at church this past Sunday.Right now we're making our way through Mark. On Sunday we studied chapter 6, verses 45-56, which is the story of Jesus walking on the water. Our pastor was saying that sometimes we think that Jesus is a procrastinator and we think that he's not answering our prayers and requests, but it's just in HIS timing, not ours. And he may not be answering right away because he wants us to struggle a [..]
