Naked Cowboy

So I'm in Jersey City, hittin the lights and I walked up to a tricked out Cadillac Escalade with a topless, long haired, white dude, with a Jesus Tattoo on is left shoulder. I thought to myself, "he seems famous", naw, "His probably just some stripper. Anyways, not caring to ask, and without giving him special treatment, I did my thing. He threw in 7 dollars. I'm assuming he might have been a little annoyed with the fact I didn't recognize him, so to make himself known, He threw in his card as well. once the light turned green I was like.... I think I just seen New Yorks Naked Cowboy. looked at the card, "yup, it was him". anyways..I guess he of all people should know the struggle.

For all you have given me, I give thanks.

So, Jaydee is gone again. It's hard, of course, having him gone, but I am very thankful that we were able to spend a lot of time together before he left on this trip(almost three whole weeks).
Last night those of us left at home watched a movie called, China Cry. It made me so thankful. It was about a Christian woman during the Cultural Revolution in China, and the persecution she received. Yet she stayed strong in her faith and the Lord delivered her and her family. Almost the whole movie she was pregnant and she had to go through so much during each pregnancy. During her last pregnancy she had to do hard labor all the way up till her ninth month, and she was late. Like I said it made me so thankful for how good I have it. It also convicted me that she had so much determination to do what she could to obey what the Lord told her, not only that but when ever someone told her something couldn't be done she never took no for an answer. It was so convicting, one of those people I wish I could be but don't think I can ever be.

Big Baby

The baby is getting so big, too big. He's always up in my ribs, kicking and elbowing me. I'm very tired most of the times and very cranky, poor Jaydee usually gets the brunt of it. I'm so happy there is only one month left. Then I can hold my little bundle of joy in my arms, and kiss his tiny feet.

Family Reunion-Day 4

August 2, 2008

The day of the Hamiltonian, and just as we are pulling out of the hotel we look above and low and behold a giant(yet very beautiful) rain cloud is above us. Sure enough it rains cats and dogs, but it cleared up later that day, TTL. Tim drove us and got lost trying to follow Toshi in the pouring rain, fun fun fun, but we got there safe after much stressing out on Tim and Moms part. Had a great day taking the kids on the rides.

He's supposed to be a monkey.

Family Reunion-Day 3

August 1, 2008

Today is the day when every one gets here, when we all congregate. Unfortunately we weren't able to be picked up till late in the evening. So we again spent the day lying around, entertaining Odin, cleaning, and of course cooking dinner for everyone. Cooking was quiet an adventure and poor Kat had to do almost all of the work. We had to cook in the very, very hot kitchen with only a tiny pot to try and boil the eggs and noodles for all 21 people then bring it to the hotel and make the food for everyone(as it turns out we were over zealous in our cooking and we made too much, ha).
Odin was so happy to leave the one room he was allowed to play in at the apartment that when he got in the car he kept clapping and laughing till he fell asleep.
We got to the hotel, met everyone, gave hugs all around, it was great to see everyone again, happy times.
