"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Update at last

We were camping last week, and this week I was at the PTE summer conference so I haven't had a lot of time, but here is part of it at last. I tried to upload more pictures but there was an error or something. I shall try again later!





















These are the flowers Grant got me for our Anniversary. He surprised me and came home from work early with this bouquet! We finally got to go out on a date on June 7! We went to the movie Prince Caspian, the second of the Narnia chronicles-way good!















This is Grace sitting on a rock in the river. They flooded the river a few weeks ago and just so you have a little perspective, Grace would've been completely submerged if she had been on the rock when the river was flooded, not kidding!
















We went to the zoo with my mom's school along with my Sister-in-law and niece. Here they are, our little baby birds! I think they paid more attention to eachother than to the animals!















This is Grace after the zoo, she was trying not to fall asleep, holding onto her tray, but finally she succumbed!














During the flooding of the river there was a rain storm and our sewer pipe backed up (I think, it was the man hole out front) and our section of the street flooded. It was rather funny. They had it all cleaned up by the time Grant got home from work that night though :(
