MIA

No, I'm not dead. I feel like I've been in a funk the past few weeks.... well, rather, I know I've been. This week is better. I'm feeling more positive and, well, happy. This past weekend was really fun... on Friday night Ryan, my parents and I went to a "tasting" at Hurd Orchards, the place where we go apple picking every year. I had never done anything like that, it was really fun and a cool experience. Plus they gave us all of the recipes of all of the different foods that were served that evening, and the applesauce cake they served was TO DIE FOR. I will be sure to share the recipe soon. Seriously, I had like 4 pieces (they were small, hehe). I even had my dad and Ryan bring me a piece so I didn't look like a freak and a pig. We also had a fall harvest party on Saturday night for our small group from church. It was super fun, and I can't tell you how good it feels to finally feel part of a church again. Ryan and I haven't been able to find that in the 6/7 years we've been out of our parents' homes and "on our own." We've wanted it for so long, and we are so excited to be involved and connected in a church that we feel welcomed in and feel like we fit into. Trust me, we've sampled MANY, MANY in this area... it almost seemed hopeless for awhile. Yet, God knew what He was doing... He tends to do that. :) Anyway, I've been feeling like I'm coming down with something these past few days... I slept from 10:30 pm to 10:30 am last night and this morning, luckily I didn't have to go into work until 12 today! I'd better go rest up some more and keep trying to fend off all of the sickness the kids keep bringing home from school.... if I could only get off the couch and get Calla to stop walking on the keyboard.... :)
