ING

LOVING: Nate having some 2-12 shifts. I know, I know, still a pretty crappy schedule, but it means I can go running in the morning. And I can go to the grocery store by myself sometime other than at night. And he gets hours with the kids instead of one hour or minutes. Oh and I also love my immersion blender.

READING: Just finished The Greatest Quest. It's about four college students who set out on a quest to find God and His only true church. I'm actually using a lot of the scriptures mentioned in the book to direct my scripture study now.

WATCHING: SO SO SO embarrassed to admit this one. BUT we just got Netflix and I've been alone at night all week...I've been watching just a little bit of Animal Hoarders. Sometimes a lot bit.

ANTICIPATING: Fall. Aren't we all? I'm excited to have highs in the 90s instead of 100s!

LISTENING TO: I like a guy named Lee DeWyze right now. Jansen loves the song Home by Phillip Phillips so that's been on a lot lately as well.

PLANNING: Oh this is easy. Birthday parties. Jansen and Natalie. So glad we only do these every other year.

WORKING ON: My drive to do this always comes in waves, but I have been "decorating" and "creating." Using three separate pieces I put this mirror together:
WISHING: Surprisingly, this one is making me think the hardest. Is that good? That a million things don't come to mind when I ask myself what I'm wishing for? I guess I'm wishing I didn't worry so much. Had a small freak out session last night when Nate was a little late getting home from scout camp. Faith not fear, faith not fear, Jessica!

Oh and Jansen blogged again. Such a funny kid. http://jansensblog.blogspot.com/

SO so glad you spent too much time watching Animal Hoarders. And you are an American Idol fan whether you know it or not! And I love Jansen's blog. So so much.

I trying to get you to understand Moose. And you watch animal hoarders! That is not going to help with your understanding of why I let him sleep on my bed. Just my insecurities showing about having a house full of fur.

I love reading your blog. I have been a nervous wreak around here. I have been having major anxiety attacks for some reason. My dad told me the same thing. Just have faith. Miss you guys.
