Updates & Alric + Sarah

Tonight was the marriage ceremony of two of our great friends here in Spokane. For those of you who aren't in Spokane, we're in the midst of marriage central. Three out of the four brothers in Mike's Spokane family are getting married this summer. An additional three other marriages in our friend group are happening here. This is also not to mention the copious amounts of friends whom are getting married in Tennessee, Chicago, Michigan and other areas we were previously connected to.

Alric and Sarah had simply the most gorgeous and simple wedding I've attended. It was a classic back yard wedding full of all the simple details that made it wonderful. Sarah is a simply beautiful girl so it makes sense that she would have a wedding as great as this. Alric is the classic funny guy with a sense of humor that makes Sarah smile ear to ear. Mike notes that Alric is incredibly humorous but a great friend with an even better heart.

One of Mike's new learned enjoyments is taking photos at our friend's weddings. Here are a couple that he got of Alric and Sarah's great day.














This week has been fairly normal. I worked a ton of hours with Miss Olivia-pants. Currently I'm working on writing resumes and cover letters for various other jobs. I think my life of nannying is coming to a screeching halt. Don't get me wrong, kids are wonderful and Olivia is precious to me. At the same time I've come to realize that my desire to be Olivia's nanny was great when it was part time. Full time nannying means being a mommy. And as noted in many conversations, I AM NOT ready to be a mommy!

Our plan is for five years. I intend to enjoy, soak in, and love every childless moment of our first years in marriage. So, in order to enjoy these next childless years, I would actually like to feel like I'm childless. Thus, I'm looking into entry level jobs as a secretary, medical receptionist, or any other type of desk work. If you know of a Spokane job, let me know!

 Mike was vasting in the relaxing time around the office. He had a long meeting about curriculum one day but other than that, he enjoyed a week of easy sailing at work due to VBS being over. When asked what he'd like to put in the blog he said he had a mediocre week.

Now its my turn, as the husband and more of the glass half empty one in the marriage its my pleasure to elaborate on life through my eyes... comprehending life seems to unwillingly happen when it (being life) goes on without your ability to see it unfold and blossom. life is happening all around us at all times. some glimpses we get the privilege of taking part in, some we blink and miss it. those who are close to our hearts yet are out of reach are moving forward in life just as we have, and our hearts ache that we were unable to share in these life changing moments. but today we were blessed to see such a wonderful occasion that will be remembered forever. i am very thankful for this.

well, we're off to bed my friends. with great love for you all i say goodnight.
