What's Up With Me?

It's been a while...and I realize that I've said that a few times recently when I've posted. I guess things have just been crazy around here and I guess I don't really feel apologetic about that. :)

So here's what's up:
1.We're in our house and it's slowly coming together. I think I only have about four more boxes to unpack and find places for. Nearly all of the walls are painted, although one of them is so hideous we're going to have to repaint it. OOPS! We picked a yucky color of brown without realizing all of our furniture in that room is also brown. It clashes like you wouldn't believe. So, we're going to paint it a desert red instead. I'm psyched. Pictures, someday, eventually.

2.We just celebrated our anniversary! It was a month late, but it was worth waiting for! Instead of celebrating while we were moving, we had a chance to leave Lili with my mom and dad and went up to a bed and breakfast in between Salida and Buena Vista, Colorado. It was so much fun being just the two of us. We hiked to a waterfall, relaxed in a hot springs, at amazing meals, bought records at an antique store and generally just had an amazing time. Tommie gets major props for planning the whole thing.


3.My hours got cut back at Student Life, from 80 to 30 hours. So, that's quite a drop. However, God is really good and at the same time those hours got reduced, a couple of former bosses of mine have contacted me for contract work. The extra work, this month at least, adds up to about what I was making before. God is soo good. Also, in the midst of this, people are finally starting to take me up on my sewing offers. I've so far hemmed two pairs of pants and have an order for four "hooties" (nursing covers). So that's pretty cool.

4.Liliana is doing great and is growing like a weed still. She's now 17lbs. and 28" long. She's still just crawling, but she's starting to try to pull up on stuff and once you've got her in a standing position on something, she'll hold on and walk a little. It's kind of scary to think of supervising her now actually. Ha.

5.Our church is having some pretty serious financial issues. A couple of our greatest friends are employed by our church too, so we're contemplating some big moves and changes to continue to serve the neighborhood and our church family. Being such a small church, all of these changes are HUGE, so if you think about it, know we'd covet your prayers.
