The kids finally started school...thank goodness. Chris was seriously eating us out of house and home this summer. They are both playing sports right now and I'm coaching. We're really busy! Ky is playing soccer on my team again & Chris is playing football. He's playing varsity but not a lot. He played in 6 plays at the first game. I was so freaking proud of him though! The varsity team all has their names on the backs of their jerseys & when I saw our name on his it was one of those extremely proud moments that you just quietly enjoy. I was so quiet that Rob leaned over & asked if I was crying. I was so nervous & excited for him. I was so nervous & excited for Rob. I was sure hoping that he was as proud as I was but you know men...they don't really show that kind of emotion, especially in public. Ky has matured so much & I really think she's ready for adulthood. She had some difficult times this year with soccer & had to make some tough decisions. She stood strong in the mist of defeat & did not give up. She scored a goal in our 1st game this past week & I see such improvement in her skills daily. Ky's taking 2 GenEd classes at NIC this fall. It's a great taste of what college work is like but not so much that she's overloaded. This is also a great way for Rob & I to kinda watch over her & help her with adjusting to the life that is knocking on her door.

My husband is completely amazing! I have learned that he is such a patient man. There is nothing that I really have to do around the house. It's nice to know that he can handle so much w/o me. I told him the other day that all his chores are making me feel like I'm just carrying my load as a wife. He laughed and said, "Honey, you do alot. You clean the bathrooms." That's it. Here's your sign. I again, burnt hotdogs, which almost has me completely banned from the kitchen. So tomorrow, while he's at work, I'll be a good wife and clean the bathrooms.

This is my prayer. That this week I may praise more, love more & draw close to the Lord that my heart loves & longs for.
