I did it...

Well, yesterday I had the conversation with my boss resigning my position here at UIC. I have pretty mixed feelings about this, but I think it will be good. It has been time to move on for a while and for a bit I will be at home enjoying my toddler son (more pictures posted soon, I promise!). I don't have a last day yet, but we will work that out when she returns from out of town. If you want the gory details, ask me in person or call me, they will not be posted here. I do have a lot of peace about the decision. Thanks to all who prayed!

Goodbye to old friends

This picture pretty much sums up my weekend. Our dear friends, the Engstroms (Jason, Roxanne, and Anni, Joshua's betrothed), have left Chicago for the mission field. We are so excited for them, but sad too as you can see. At least we had a rockin party to send them off and I didn't cry like a baby until the very end. Oh well. Like my friend, Meg, I don't handle change very well, but since change means growth, exciting, unexpected things, and adventure, I will take it, however sad I feel in the moment.

Happy Father's Day

We had a laid back Father's Day celebrating with all the grandparents at our place. Joshua had fun going between all of them and getting loved on. Here is a shot of all the dads with Joshie! Grandpa Bill, Andy, and Grandpa Chuck.

A small rant on getting the car fixed...

Why does it take over an hour and a half to determine that you don't have the part needed to fix the weather stripping on a car door?? Especially since I called two days ahead of time and let them know what needed to be done. ARGGH!

I love having a photographer in the family

Check out the photo my dad took last weekend. I think it is beautiful!
