Last week!

Yay, I'm in the homestretch of my first graduate semester. It really wasn't that bad once I got a rhythm down and remembered how to open a textbook and skim the content-- skimming will be clutch in grad school let me tell you-- it started coming together.

I'm pumped to have a "summer" like the good ole days for the next couple weeks. No work or school. I plan to sleep, eat, catch up with friends, and stay up late playing kick the can with my friends down the street.



My little bro Matt moved back home too--- so it really does feel like a flash back, except instead of arguing over the remote...... well we are still arguing over the remote. Some things never change. But instead of discussing the possibility of him becoming a famous Rock Star, he's become a little more realistic in his old age. He's now surfing the net looking for any possible job in this economy. Matt Blair actually threw out the words law school and police officer. Mmmm hmmm..... I can't see Matt defending the law, but I think its hard to picture your baby brother doing anything by annoying you or asking you to play video games with him. :)   Gotta love him!

Enjoy your humid hair-ruining, cricket listening, firefly catching, lake swimming, pool diving, ice cream eating summer days!  Oh.... I hear the ice cream truck man right now. Gotta run!

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  I really ju...

Joy in Pain

There is pain in this world. It comes in different forms. Physical pain, emotional pain, frustrating pain, confused pain, displaced pain, short-lived pain, numbing pain, excruciating pain, sincere pain, unexpected pain. Yet, through it all, there is joy. How? Where? Why is there joy in a world filled with such pain? Is is true joy? Is it fabricated or medicated joy? Is it temporary joy or will it fade with the next whisper of pain? No. I have felt a joy that far outweighs my pain. It's a joy that doesn't make sense mixing with a pain that culminates in reality. It's a joy that couldn't be concocted by even the most elaborate of artists. As I've experienced some of the most intense physical pain during some of the most intense emotional pain, I have noticed and experienced some of the purest forms of joy and peace that cannot be watered down by logic. We lost our second child this week. At just seven weeks old, our precious baby gets to escape a world o...
