I am a single mom!!

For one week(until Friday) I am all alone. John took the youth to camp and I stayed behind with the kids. I will miss him so much, but I think he needed to get away and have some fun.

Plus I am looking forward to using this time to really grow spiritually. To have some more awesome talks with my new friend Davina. Her and I can just lay all our crap out for each other to see without feeling like we will be criticized or have to hide anything. We have had such awesome talks about our faith, our frustrations with our lack of obedience at time, kids, husbands, and just life in general.

It is so nice to have someone to talk to that you can just let it all hang out and be totally vulnerable(sp?) with, without fear. I had been praying for that and God heard. I mean I can talk to John about anything, but somethings he doesn't understand because he is a man and they don't think like we do.

Anyway so my husband is gone. He left with bright pink hair because of a fundraiser and I am excited to see what the kids think. Alex already misses him and so do I. I mean yes he is gone alot with work, so we don't see him a ton between him sleeping and work, but I will miss our time together when the boys are both napping(yes God has blessed me with them sleeping at the same time most days). This week will be interesting!!

Here are some pictures of this past week. Casey graduated on Friday.

Oh! I SOOO miss the boys already! Cute little chub-chub, JJ has a cousin that's gonna be vying in the chub war. We're at 14.5 lbs already!

That picture definitely has John's eyes and Casey's head shape and nose, mouth, chin.

I'm happy to hear you growing spiritually and thank God that He's given you a close friend that is as hip as Davina! Love her fam!

Miss you all!
