We miss Matt!!!

Matt left with the rest of Soul Pardon on Thursday to go to the Freshwind youth conference in Toronto, Canada. I couldn't go this year due to my pregnancy restrictions. I miss Matt so much! Lilly & I have been watching the conference online and we've been able to see Matt, Dad, Kyle, Jerick, Jordan, Kirt, Hannah, Nate, Ray & Calli in the worship sets. I won't lie, seeing it all online and not being able to actually be there is rough. It's just not the same watching a session and then having to get up and change a diaper, or put a little girl down for her nap. It doesn't have quite the same flow as actually being there and hanging out with some of my favorite young people!

This morning, the Freshwind Band was playing 'Happy Day', and now Lilly keeps singing, "happy day, happy day...wash sins away." It's good to know she's absorbing some of the conference too. She likes the music, especially when everybody starts jumping up and down. She dances right along with the rest of them! It's pretty cute. She's a little worshipper.

More than missing out on the conference, I miss my husband so much! I keep wanting to call him between sets (and sometimes I do), but I can't talk to him for long...international phone charges and all. And he is the leader of our group this weekend, so I can't hold him up talking to me while he's there. He did call me this morning to ask for directions to McDonalds. That's my Matt...

I don't really have much else to say, besides I have developed a cough and my lungs are tight again. I can't wait to be rid of this junk. I've been sick in one way or another since the end of October. Pray for my health, please! I want to sing again!

Virtual hugs!

If I was closer than 7 hours away, I'd take you out to Panera. :p

Hi! Congrats on being an aunt twice (soon)!

I glanced over at blogs you read - how do you know Crystal Lott?? I went to the Honor Academy with her in Texas. Small World.

Hope all is going well! We're moving home :) But first we have to sell our house in Des Moines. Blah. Pray for us!
