Sister's

Well, the sister's (minus Erin - boo!) finally got a chance to hang out Monday evening! We had a good time and it was so nice to talk and be together. Really hoping to make that a more consistent habit! Love you girls!!

So while we did the usual talking about strange bodily functions, what our kids are doing (both exciting things and those things that drive us nuts), and how life in general is going, we got into some good discussions about church and beliefs, etc. I would love to have us do some sort of Bible study together sometime. Mandy and I are pretty close and we do help and encourage each other, I would love to include Heather and Cody in that too!

I think we could help keep each other accountable in our walk with God, growing as Christians, being helpmates to our husbands, and to be better mothers. Cody just finished a pretty intense Bible study at her church and it sounds like it was great and really is helping her grow as a Christian.

Dave and I have been going to a church called Wildwind for the last couple of years, but about a year ago they moved to a different location and had to start meeting on Saturday evenings. With my work schedule for weddings, it makes it difficult to get to church at all May-October. With missing church months at a time, going when I am not working is hard for me to do! I'll sometimes forget it's time for church at all! It's also hard to be invloved when we can't even attend on a regular basis, I've always enjoyed working with the youth (I get this from my parents, they are now working with the youth again!). This is also frustrating because this means the girls are't getting to church either - it's tough getting the girls ready for church by yourself after they've been playing outside all day! We've talked about trying another church, even though I think Wildwind is working on moving us back to Sunday meetings. I LOVE the people at Wildwind - we've made some good friends and that's what's making me hesitate from leaving. My parents now go there too, which is a huge plus. But, if that means we can't attend church 3/4 of the year, is that the right choice?? I'm thinking it's not.
