Pastors Conference

So we made it to the pastors conference! And there was much rejoicing.
I was really glad both Matt and I were able to go, even though he didn't get to stay until the end. It was just good to fellowship with people, mainly my family.

Of course, then there was drama.
When is there NOT drama with my family?
But things are ok now. And I have to agree with Grace that it was really good to see my Dad happy. I don't think I've seen him like that in a couple years.
Oh yeah, he's engaged.
January 1st.

We got to meet Zuri! That was wonderful. She's a cutie that's for sure. My Dad thinks she looks like me, which of course is nice for me, but really, I think she just looks like Grace and since Grace and I look alike, it all blends. Of course, one person while we were there didn't know Grace and I were sisters. But another was like "You guys look sooo much alike." So....ya know.
Pictures!

This is Hosanna. Of course. This is her as we are about to give her our gift. She was very excited about her present, and before even opening it proceeded to tell us all about when she was "two!!" and got all kinds of presents. Very cute.
This of course is her present. She wasn't all that excited about at first and grabbed the bag and looked in it and said "I wanna open the other one." Uhh...there wasn't another one. She got over that quickly when she saw her cup had "Cindewella" on it.
Don't you just love her double chin she makes when smiling?

Hannah and Hosanna playing the wonderful game of carpetball!
This is Zuri! She's even looking at the camera!

So as you can see, we spent a lot of time with Hosanna. I thought we would more with Zuri.(I know, I only have one picture of her on here because our cameras batteries ran out!) But I guess I forgot that she IS a baby and wants her mother often so she can eat and simply, because she wants her mother. Plus, Hosanna is super cute right now, talking like crazy. And Matt really enjoyed her. And I think Hosanna enjoyed him.

So here I am with a new blog.
Why?
I don't know. But yet, here I am.
I guess I'm sick of xanga and don't talk to anyone on it anyway, so I figured I'd start a blogspot.

I'll start out by doing what the rest of my family has done this week.
This is Zuri-Shaddi. Isn't she cute? Of course she is. She's my neice!
Here's both my neices. Aww! What a wonderful big sister.

Thus, I hate being away from my family. It's always hard, but harder now than before for obvious reasons. When Hosanna was born I was totally there (ok in the waiting room, as there as I could be). And now I'm not even close! It's just sad.

So let's move back to the U.P. right?
Wrong. Or right?
We don't know. We don't know where we're supposed to be except here for now. But "for now" could turn into 3 years! I don't want to be here for three years! But if God doesn't call us somewhere, then what are we to do but stay here?
And while Faith and Kourtney want us to move out wherever they end up (Colorado!), we can't just go because we want to.
I don't know why I think about this all the time, but I do. Probably especially because of wishing I was near my family. Yes.

Anyway...
We are for sure going to the conference! I didn't go last year so I am very excited to go this year. And Matt has never been before (even though he's lived 3 hours away his whole life!). Of course I'm praying that I'll get to see baby Zuri then also.
And who knows? Maybe God will speak.

p.s. anyone know how to customize your own layout? Or to find more than just the few they give you? Even when I try to change colors on my layout it doesn't seem to work.
