church signs.

I ran across this sign on someone's myspace with the connection to Bush and how we should have reelected him.

another sign I saw around here says "Fear God, Obey his commands"

comments?

talent.

You know sometime ago I got sucked into the Myspace world. I wonder who made that because I am sure they are millionaires now. Anyways a few of my friends have used it to do music and it seems so smart. They're so good and somehow I guess there's a lot of good people out there and only a few make it? Who knows. My friend Lara though made it to the final auditions for American idol and then not further but still that's pretty far! You should go check her stuff out at www.myspace.com/lararichelle or my friend Pete's band at www.myspace.com/redfoxgreyfox they remind me of Mum. I don't have the right letter for u, but you know who I'm talking about. Those in masters last year anyways.

clip cards.DSBklip

I found an alle zoner in my coat the other day with one clip left and then nolan found a 2 zoner with 6 clips left in his jacket yesterday. It doesn't make what I've been feeling for the last couple days any easier. It's hard to explain but my heart just hurts and aches when I think about all my experiences and friends in Denmark... when I think about the culture even. I long to just visit it right now. I honestly have grown to love where we are living now. I love my job, I love those kids. I love the beauty all around us and the quiet simple life to live right now. I know this is where we're supposed to be. But I poured so much of myself into Denmark and people there and Denmark has poured so much into me that it's hard to be apart of myself.


I miss my room that was always decorated by the holiday because of Amy. The funny but awesome mix we had in personalities from Hannah BM, Leah, Amy and I. Amy sleeping in my bed.
I miss my walk to the Kornbek-Hansen's and getting cozy on their couch before prime with Camilla.
I miss the whole second family of mine. Camilla. Mom. Bjarne. Mickey. Nadja. Jolle. Marten. Grandma and Grandpa too.
I miss the trains... but not buses.
I miss running with Ruth on the cobblestone and through my favorite park. I wonder how many times I ran through there in two years.
I miss going during the fall to sit and journal under the trees there when they were bright and watching families play soccer.
Of course I miss the cafes.
I miss biking... I can feel that I haven't been.
I miss Klippen and Johannes' laugh.
I miss the fashion.
I miss Lise making me coffee all the time and having coffee all the time.
I miss working at Menu before Christmas.
I miss the piano guy on the walking street.
I miss laughing with the worship team.
I miss biking to Melody's and having tacos.
I could probably go on forever at this point. Lord don't you say you give us the desires of our hearts?

parenting

I am learning quite a bit about parenting these days. Two of the girls I watch everyday live with their mom who is never home and see there dad on some weekends. They also happen to be the ones most easily upset and most needy and smartallic... think there's a connection? I'm falling in love with these kids and I have to watch my anger because some of the parents make me angry at times.

In my own parenting to Abe... He's learned to get on the counter pretty well now. Not so good because like today when he wasn't such a good kitty... ate some of the chicken they were making for dinner and chewed through a plastic bag twice to get to the muffins I had in there. Little stinker! Gunna have to put some more discipline on the kitty.

a post!

Lets see... One little girl who is 4 said "oh that's my bad" in her southern black girl accent to another teacher today. Remember we live in hick country so I don't know how she has this accent. Nolan's mom comes in tonight and his uncle and cousin are already here, so it's a full house.

Here are some pictures of our pride and joy and the flowers I picked down the street. I feel like a homemaker... weird. Plus I went to a pampered chef party on monday and have considered selling it myself. I guess that could possibly make me a grown up now... weird!

Discovery Time

For those of you who haven't heard I got a new job in a daycare center and I am loving it! I know it sounds like a lot of work and pretty exhausting, and it kind of is, I just haven't really noticed that part of it yet. The kids there are coming from some pretty rough homes. There are like 3 kids whose parents are together, and the others only have one parent. One of the boys doesn't even know who his dad is and every time a male comes into the center he calls him daddy. There are some pretty sad situations. I asked one of the little girls yesterday what she had learned in school and she said "the Jesus loves me", so I thought that was pretty neat. We also have a kid whose from the Netherlands, so he has been speaking dutch to me every once in a while. His parents remind me of Denmark sometimes, with how they dress and speak:) Anyways I love it!
