i long to...

i really do. Long to blog more and connect with people deeply out there that matter the world to me, but I have been sad. Kate and Mike and the boys(my three nephews I speak of all the time) have moved to Chicago. For the time being while searching for a great job for Mike. LONG story, ask later.

Anywho...I am working three jobs to save money for school that starts Sept. 8th. And Ty and I have been working non stop on the house with any free time. AND until July 4th when they moved...they being the forementioned, I was spending every waking minute with them, moving them and preparing for their departure.

Summer is here and Montana is the place to be in the summer. Well at least in my opinion, since I made my decision to stay here, I am truly happier here than I have ever been. Good choice confirmation? YES.

Fishing, boating, fire works, swimming, even the dang misquitos are making my summer more enjoyable. Probably just because it's here. and I want to induldge. So, I will try to post more pictures from Alaska and from the house tomorrow. But blog world, until I can, please be blessed with joy abundant. I have so many stories I would like to tell.

ok, just one quick thought and then I must go.

I believe that the peace that passes all understanding is different than I ever thought it to be. It is exactly what it says it is. A peace in the middle of a storm...well maybe. But, Kate and I were sitting there talking about how insane things were and believe me, they were. Anyways, she tells me mom said she will continue to pray for the peace that transcends all understanding. Kate, said it's not working mom. AND i said, actually it is. YOu my lovely sister have never seemed to calm as you are now. Not peace filled or peace ful maybe...but peace that transcends understanding that allows you to be exactly where you are, not freaking out, not going baszurk...that's the kind of peace I think she's talking about, the peace she's praying for. And baby...you've got it.

I just think God's the coolest for that moment that day when I saw his face shining on my sister. And I think it's also the coolest that I can continue to pray for her in this way. If you think of it...ask the same for her as our mother is and was.

THANKS...I love you all!
