BOO
did i scare ya? yep, after a 2 month absence i am definitely back! i hope some people still check back here from time to time! well, what have i been busy with?? i have been living with my brother (sherwood), sister-in-law (joc), and 2 nephews (isaiah and luke) for the last 2 months. i've been living with them as a part-time nanny type of thing. my sister-in-law is expecting their 3 child in the middle of august (although isaiah was born 6 weeks early and luke was 12 weeks early....so there's no knowing when this baby will actually be born!) it has really just been a ton of fun, and time is FLYING by so fast! my days basically consist of me playing with my nephews and then doing a few house hold chores each day. my nephews have asked me a couple of times "are you an adult or a child?" they just can't figure out how i look older, like an adult, yet i just play all day long, like a child. they are just so precious!
other than nannying i have been (for the most part:)) loving planning my wedding! it's 4 months away (4 months from yesterday to be exact). for those of you who don't know eric, let me just say this: he is awesome. it hasn't completely sunk in that i will be his wife soon....but i am super excited for this adventure!
hm, well, other than that i just recently read a book called "The Shack" and it was really really good. really got me thinking about how i view God and challenged me to stop putting him into a box! God is God and yet i manage to create an "image" which i think He should fit into. man, i've still got a long way to go!!
well, i can't think of much else to write, so instead i'll leave it to pictures to fill you all in with the latest happenings of my life!

My niece, little miss Shiloh. she is the most "little girl" i have ever met....that statement would make sense if you knew her!
Luke posing for me :)This last year i took an African dance class with 2 of my friends (Kyla and Char). After my DTS i really felt challenged to try new things...things that i say i can't do...but really i've just never spent time doing it! Dance class was a BLAST! we had SO much fun together....although the closer it got to our dance recital the less fun and scarier it seemed!! here are some pictures from the nerve racking event:
i am saying "yep, they're all clapping for us. we're so awesome!"
i am saying "yep, they're all clapping for us. we're so awesome!"

ok, that's it for tonight, folks!! i hope you enjoyed it....because it took a while!
Blessings.

You just made my day!
Yesterday I was checking out the pictures from Russia and found all the pictures of our families we had sticked on our beds. I remember all the talks we had about our nephews and nieces...!
Mel I don't understand why we are supposed to live so far away from each other. I still miss sharing my bed with you and freestyle sleeping!!
Mel I love you!
you guys were seriously the best african dancers i've EVER seen.
gosh those skirts and headbands you guys are wearing.. we wore them EVERY DAY :D it's crazy.it made me miss Africa.I wish I could have danced with you. I bet we would have been the BEST.
Thanks for the update, and for being there for your nieces, nephews and other family membeers. You will be a wonderful wife for your husband, and mother to your own children some day.
Love always, Dad xoxo
