just some random pictures

so i spoke at a VBS last week, and just for the fun of it, tried on my Senegalese clothes. they actually did up, but i decided to pass.
patrick got his birthday present early this year, when we finally got a barbecue. he's been doing all kinds of stuff, like beer can chicken. you put the beer can inside the chicken, open, and just leave it on the grill. it was amazing.

















since i asked so many people for advice about my July 4th dessert, i thought i'd put up the finished product. it turned out ok, and it was fun. thanks for your help.
we had a wonderful visit with the crisps over memorial day. they came out, with brett and jes, who are getting married in september. so exciting! we also had a great visit with my dad and bunny, but we didn't take any pictures.
so we're kind of just waiting. my mom gets here soon, pray for her canadian blood and the texas heat! most of you know, we are having the baby at home, and we've been practicing. i think we're as ready as we can be. patrick's flying all he can. he is flight instructing through the company he started, flyn high aviation. he's working so hard, and it's going well. just one more semester of school!!!

we appreciate your prayers , not just about the baby, but God's will for us right now in general. There are alot of decisions to be made come December, and we're excited about the possibilities. We really feel God is wanting to teach us what it means to truly be disciples of Christ in this current world, and what that looks like for us. all in all, we're happy to be here, and be alive! Thanks for checking our blog.
