My Manna

That you may walk (live and conduct yourselves) in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him and desiring to please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing and increasing in and by the knowledge of God [with fuller, deeper, and clearer insight,acquaintance, and recognition].
Col. 1.10

This is the verse I'm taking with me, to camp. We (Steven, Geoff and I) will be gone for two weeks. Camp life is so different. It's good in so many ways, but there is a part that is difficult too. Getting people together and living together and working HARD. It can make you or break you. But, I love it. I keep going back even though every time has it's unique challenges, and every time it's over I don't know if I'll ever go back.
I compare it to my experiences with having a baby,..... you long for that baby to make it's arrival, it happens, and it's grueling, and you think I won't ever do that again, but time heals all wounds... and you do it again. I love my babies.....and I love camp. What else can I say?

Geoffs end of the year "party" for drama

The kids were taken to Starbucks for their party. Looks like they had fun. Geoff had a Vanilla Latte. The top pic is Geoff, Bill and Kyle, Geoffs best friends.

A few new pics

My Anniversary Peonies. I love them, they're not as big as they could be (being in the shade) but they still smell wonderful.

My Honey!

This is Dave in his uniform. He is with Security at Church. He helps with traffic control on Sunday mornings, and also did security for our "Night to honor Isreal"(Christian United for Isreal). Who would have thought that he would be in a uniform? Isn't he sharp?

We had our 31st Anniversary yesterday. We'll be celebrating soon. How can it be that long?

Dave started truck driving school at Century College in White Bear Lake yesterday also. 7am-4pm for the next 3 weeks. He was already in the truck driving! We are excited about this new chapter in our life. He hasn't decided yet which company he'll be going with, but has already had several offers. I know he'll make the right choice.
