here are a few stories from our life recently. sorry its been so long :)




1.Joshua and I went Explora adult night .with some of our closest friends. And, it was a blast :) all of these people have been such a blessing to our lives in such different ways, and we're so thankful that the Lord has allowed us to be friends with these amazing, godly people.





2.Other big events my blog has yet to share,
would be that Joshua and i have been
attending Mars Hill Church Abq for about 6 months, and we
absolutely love it! It is such a blessing to be apart of the body of Christ,
that loves to serve, and know one anothers needs. The entire focus of this chu
rch is Jesus. And to proclaim Him, and love those that He loves. Also, to live in community as the book of Acts (and the rest of the bible for that matter) teaches. It has been so refreshing for both Joshua and I to be apart of this church, and apart of this community aspect. It's amazing to have the church family to lean on, and to support.
Oh, we also read the Bible for what it says, and not for what we were taught that it says, and are now able to see God in such a bigger way! how amazing, that before time began, He chose His children. My salvation, my life and my faith rests on my father! Its not that i was a sinner, and i realized my need for God, thats foolish to give myself that credit! But, its that God in His sovereignty and grace, decided to have mercy on a sinner like me, and call me to repentance. And i think that is the most beautiful thing i have ever heard.


(Now, before you go and say that we've been brain washed, or that we only chose to think that because we go to mars hill, let me just say, we both came to see this truth before we started coming to this church, and this is one of the main reasons we chose this church.)

3. We went to go see Alice in Wonderland

in 3D with Alysia, and Lacey! It was
pretty good, my favorite part was definitely the reclining leather seats
that you pay the extra $5 for. I say they're worth it!

How cute are they?!?!

I saw this couple in the park the other day when I took the kids. Aren't they precious? I can't wait to be that grey, and be even more in love with Joshua than I am now.

Mat Pirolo

This is a bad picture, but I didn't want to distract! Mat taught at renovate on thursday night, and it was great! He taught on Gods Redemption, and His provision. It was great! I laughed, I cried, and I left with a lot to think about, and praise God for. This kid should be behind the pulpit more often!

Joshua came to my work!

We played hide and go seek for a while, once we had used all the good hiding spots, we decided to have story time. Josh of course was a big hit. The kids loved him, and begged him not to leave when he had to go to work. I guess this means he should visit more often!

Once again

My car is broken down. And sitting in the spot it was for weeks. Unfortunately, when its at the mechanic shop they're able to start it and drive it around just fine. Only when its in our care does it decide to break......hmmmm. I wonder if its just time to give up on this old thing?

Kids and clothes....

Going through all the kids seasonal clothes, and figuring out what still fits, and what's warm enough. There's about 5 other big bags that aren't in this picture. Four kids = alot of work. .

I love my job

Today, we colored for a bit, and Thanh made me a picture. He even wrote "I love you Tamara". And as for those round things, they are my shoulders. They make my arms move.
