we're back...

This last month has been full of craziness and excitement!!! First me siblings came and we had tons of fun and few arguments here and there, but who doesn't have those;) I miss them already!!! We definitely don't get to see each other often enough. During their time here we had two b-day parties for Hudson. One of them was a double celebration with Sam who is only one day younger that Hudson. They had lots of fun and got a looooottttttttttt super cool gifts. Thanks everyone!!! I will send Thank You cards once we settle...hehe;)
Then my family left:(...
And last Saturday we traveled to SD for Shaun's interview at a church in Spearfish. At first we went to Sioux Falls where we met the pastor of the church and his wife and sons. We got to stay with a very nice family! We also got to go to LifeLight ( a huge music festival) at which we hang out with our dear friends from ND and OK :) On Sunday we headed to Rapid City, where we stayed with Bob and Meagan (our other friends). Monday and Tuesday we mostly spent in Spearfish which by the way is beautiful. It's when you get away from lots of people and big cities when you get to truly see the beauty of God's Creation!!! I mean I love my "city"!!! I need stores to shop at...hehe:) But Rapid City is close enough:) And Spearfish is just so peaceful. We think the interview went well, but we don't know what God has in store so now we just have to wait. The pastor and his family, the search commitee and the staff, were so welcoming and nice, that it felt like home. Shaun flatened his mohawk for the interview because we all know that some people might not like it or get offended by it so just in case he didn't spike it that day, and it's funny because everyone was dissapointed that he didn't have it up:) I mean usually churches want you to put a very nice shirt on, act overly mature or simply they tell you you're not old enough to be a youth pastor, but this one accepted Shaun for who he is. So this is a little prayer request...pray that God would give the church and us the right direction...no matter what it is, He will make sure it's the best for everyone!
On the other note, if you have kids, just to warn you, traveling for long hours is horrible! Hudson is at that age when he doesn't want to just sit in his seat for hours and hours. He would like climb, crawl, or run around. We had to take a lot of breaks so he could stretch out, we usually just stopped at a mall that had a play area for kids. He loved it! Also get a dvd player for a car, that was very helpful...Hudson loves his Veggie Tales, and I do too:) I think me and Shaun had this one dvd memorized by now;) Well that's about it for now..if you want to know more you know where to find me...at home or Target...hehe;)....jk....
