Kimmel and i drove to va this past week to stay with my family. The drive wasn't too horrible, 20 hours of driving with no wrecks, weather or crowded roads. The time flew by as i slept, tee hee. We switched off driving while i drove he slept vice versa.

There are some things very vital for Kimmel to drive such a long distance...


We got to spend time with my mom, sister and her family. Her four kids are always a blast to be around. We wish we lived closer so we could share life together more! Kimmel got to go skiing with our brother in law...and He was surprised at how nice they were...for virginia mountains. haha

(i got to use my tripod Kimmel got me for christmas...really excited about that!!)
Stole some time away to visit with my longtime friend Amber...even though it was only like half an hour it was WAY nice! Its funny how some people just give you a piece of home. The next day i stole more time from my family to visit with some dear college friends. The top left is monica, due with TWIN BOYS this spring, Amy, me and Allison. We all graduated from Longwood University -or College as we knew it - then one by one we all ended up at SWBTS. We had some great years of life together. It was fun to get time with them and it feel like we never stopped hanging out...is that weird? 

So for the past three christmas's i have known/dated Kimmel it has snowed in Va. We don't usually get snow this time of year i say...but he doesn't believe me! 

Our new years was spent together in our Honda some where on I 40 in Tenn. I believe it was my shift to sleep...so oops...no new years kiss for us! :) 

Happy new years!

Spooky things afoot

The other night we heard a knock on the door...upon my answering there was no one there...just a plastic pumpkin filled with goodies and two pieces of paper. It said we had been "Booed". Something spooky was going on in our neighborhood and if we didn't want to get it again we were to tape the other picture to our door.    Since i couldn't find tape i used post-it notes...sad i know. haha There was a poem that came with it explaining how you are to make two more buckets/baskets, copy the two papers and pass it on by ding dong ditching them! I asked my neighbor and friend Kati to go with me cause Kimmel was at the football game. It was very exciting and crazy...i had never ding dong ditched...at least that i remember and i think i would remember something that fun! :) If you live in a neighborhood this is a great way to spread fun and get to know each other. I wish i kept a copy of the poem...but i am sure you can make something up that would be perfect! Happy sp...

What's Next?

This week is the first week of a new schedule for me. I am cutting my 'hours' in half at work. This means i go from the 40 hours a week to 20 in office hours. I am excited to see what God has next for me. As most of you know ministry isn't in an office, but the office time was suffocating me. So now there is freedom, freedom to do what i am not sure just yet. I have mentioned before Andrew and i's desire to minister to our lil townhouse circle, so i am praying for vision and opportunity there. Being domestic and a untired, focused wife to Andrew is another desire of mine. Don't have much to say just yet...i am excited on this new adventure. I will keep you posted as God shows me what the path his he has for us Kimmels :) He is a good God and i am glad He loves me! It is for freedom he set us free. It is for freedom i cut my pay in half :) hahaha

Since my sister's wedding when i was in 10th grade i have been in a total 13 weddings, none my own. At one point mom told me i needed to stop saying yes! I actually used two of the dresses twice believe it or not! :) It was a privilege to have girls in my wedding knowing that they trusted and loved me long time ago to be in their wedding and were willing and happy to come be in mine. This fall i have the honor of being in my best friend since 1st grades wedding-Amber, and Andrew's best friend's Kyle- we are both in that one! It is exciting to watch the stories unfold and share in their special day. I was at a shower for Maddie and Kyle's wedding this past weekend and i snapped a picture of this lil centerpiece the hostess had made. I thought it was really sweet and i had to share! One of the annoying thing about 'cute' couples is when they giggle. But its only annoying when you aren't that couple, minus public displace of giggling and such i find that aw...
