More to life than this...

Dan and I had an amazing time on our trip this past week. The accommodations were beautiful and we had a ball participating in camp 'stuff'. We definitely missed annika, but were so busy we didn't have time to dwell on it. both dan and I love christian camping, and were both left with the thought that there's more to life than what we've been doing for the past year or so. I enjoy my job, but there's more I could be doing to share the Kingdom of God with others. So we definitely have a lot to think about in the next few months or however long. And even more to pray about. I can say that our past week was life changing and now its time to do something about it.

But for now, as I wait upon the Lord, I will rest in the knowledge that He will take care of us and give us what we need.

On not such a serious note...i am purely exhausted and am resting this afternoon. I slept like crap last night due to a ever so wonderful bat in the house...it had been about 2 years since we had had one, and i hate them with a passion.

Castaway

so we leave on vacation tomorrow night. we're spending the night at their house and driving to Castaway Club in Minnesota. I'm very excited to go. I haven't been to castaway in 14 years and dan has never been there. it should be a great trip.

we're leaving annika with steve and molly (dan's brother and sister in law) and we'll miss her, but i think a little break will be good. i'm sure we'll be racing out to the campground to pick her up on wednesday.

i realized tonight that her vocabulary has grown in leaps and bounds in the past few weeks. it seems like daily that she puts more and more together. it's so rewarding to watch that development.

can't wait to post about our trip...

Anniversary

So today marks the completion of my 3rd year working for the bank. am i excited about it...eeh. i've got mixed feelings. i started out at 14 hours a week, which was nice. went up to 20 hours a week to get benefits...stayed there for a couple of years, and then back down to 14 ish...and since april i've been full time. it's definately not where i envisioned myself three years ago. i'm afraid it's going to be the career that i just fall backward into cause nothing else came along. i think of the many people that i've met that started as a part time teller "just for a few years" 30 years ago and are now in different roles.

it's also the anniversary of dan and I's first date...5 years ago...which is crazy.

and it's my mom's birthday. happy birthday camilla.
