Best Week in a long time

This week has been amazing! Started out the best way it could...at the cottage in Traverse City. Ben and i were up there for the weekend and then had to come home sunday night so that I could work this week. Which leads into the other awesome part of the week I actually have massages!!! After a week of none i have 4 of them, had five but the man had to reschedule which actually worked better for me since Ben and I are leaving thursday after my massages and he was the last client. Also Ben got a call yesterday from Saint Maries offering him another position in addition to the one he has now, so instead of working 20 hours a week in one job he is going to be doing fourty a week(hopefully) between the two. Also he was informed that he will be getting a raise. The Lord is definitely working over time for us right now!
And the Best part is we get to go back up to traverse city on thursday and stay until-at this point-wednesday. Oh Heaven on earth here we come!!!!
Another bright spot in my week was I hung out with racine for most of the day yesterday-she helped me do the dreaded suit shopping i was fretting over- we went to lunch and had coffee at her place. I'm so excited to have such wonderful neighbors and I'm more excited for the addition to their house hold.
Well i'm rambling now but I just had to tell the whole world(or possibly the handful of people who read this) that GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been a while eh?

So it has been quite a while since my last post, and quite a lot has changed. The wedding was a dream and the honey moon was a blast and now it's back to my altered reality living on mountain ash.
Things for me are great, I'm terribly in love with my husband and found a new love to bring to my life, reading.
My days get to be rather long seeing as work is incredibly slow during the summer for me-i putz around the house, doing laundry or cleaning up the house, or doing the dishes(no dishwasher=annoying) so reading has really saved me!
I found a new series that i really like-the twilight series by stephanie meyer-Ben is reading it too and it's a perfect escape.
Other than that there really isn't much going on with me. I've been baking a lot and trying some new recipes but i have recently discovered that I despise cooking for two!!!! I would rather feed 4-6 people...those are the meals i like to cook! notso much clean up after but hey.
This past weekend has been kind of a sereal weekend for me- it was three years on sunday that my brother left us and went home, my mom dad sister sara ben and i all hung out togather. ben and i joined my parents for church which was actually something i was dreading, i hate crying in church and on that particular day it was pretty much a gaurentee but the Lord knew what we could handle and it was a message on marriage instead so none of the key crying songs were played and the sermon was easy on us all. After church we headed out to Grand Haven and had a wonderful day eating and playing on the beach-the waves were HUGE!!! After GH we all went to my parents house including my sister amanda and her family and had dinner and what not and then my parents and the two of us went to the cemetary....cue the water works.
This coming weekend promises to be an emotional rollercoaster as well as we go up to Lake Leelanau. It is the most looked forward to two weeks our family spends togather but it was also matts absolute favorite place...lots of memories.

ANY WAY...........
This week ben and i are kind of on pins and needles, we are expecting to hear back about his interview some thime soon.
Keep your fingers crossed for us!!!
