Birthday Fun and Happiness

It was our good friend's Jesseca's birthday last Saturday so we had a surprise party for her on Wednesday night.



Lillian made her an amazing Freightliner cake!





Good Times!

Also this week, Josh and I and 2 other couples from our biblestudy group have taken on the challenge to not be negative. Apparently there is a church that is fasting for 40 days from negativity, and so we thought we start off slow and try for 1 week to see how it goes. This means no negative thoughts, actions, or words from this Monday to next. It's crazy to realize how often we're actually negative. It's so easy to think negatively towards a bad driver, or get caught up with the gossip at work. Or even to be anxious and worry...all of these things are negative even if their just in our thoughts! It's definitely been a challenge, but a good one!

No Negativity coming from this couple :) I hope you all have a fabulouse weekend!

Hey you guys! I love the negativity challenge idea. I had so much fun with Rachel on the trip; selfishly, I wish she wasn't heading back to Germany. Love you both!

that does sound like a good challenge, however, i think i'll wait until after the potty training is over... are you excited that brad and sarah and baby will be moving close by? sarah will probably will probably really appreciate that you guys are so close when december comes along! (well other times too, but you know what i mean)
