We love coffee. By that, I mean LOVE. Like capital letters L-O-V-E. It's becoming an addiction for Wayne and I. We have a cute little coffee shop in town called Field of Beans which we frequent quite often. Our drink of choice is a 'Tall double shot Mocha with caramel on the whip'...mmmmm yummy. It's so good. Today we were in Fargo with our friend Emily and some Hillcrest students. We dropped the kids off at the mall and ran for Starbucks. Can I just say 'Cinnamon Dulce Latte'...? Oh yah, that's what I'm talkin' bout! If you get the chance, try one. It's a little like having a piece of heaven with every sip or gulp...however you drink it! Wayne took some creative photos at the Bucks.

Jan 21




Day 'O' birth for my handsome husband! We were very blessed to be able to spend a day and a half at our friend's cabin. Saturday was filled with much relaxing, reading, baking cookies, eating nachos, some more reading, fresh winter air, some good quality chat time, eating the cookies that we baked, drinking coffee, a beautiful star-filled sky in the silence of the country...what could be better really? Well, being together with my best friend. That was the best part of it all. Just him and I. I and him. Time well spent and a retreat much needed! Thanks to our wonderful friends for opening up their cozy place for us to be refreshed.

The many faces of Kaia!




Here's my niece Kaia. She's a hoot. She just turned 4! We were at a Hillcrest basketball game the other night and I took some pics of her and she made some crazy faces. She keeps us laughing. Love you Kaia SarahAnn.

First pics with the new cam!




Just some fun pics. I've been playing around with all the features of the cam. It's great. There's still lots to learn on it though. I'll have to dig into the owner's manual soon I guess. For now, I'll stick to the easy stuff! More to come...

Soon and very soon.

Okay, so Wayne and I only wanted a digital camera for Christmas and we ordered it on Christmas day from the internet. When we called a few days later, the guy told us that we'd have it by the end of the week. That was last week. It has not shown up yet but I'm anticipating that it will be here tomorrow. I'm pretty stoked to start snappin' away. It's so fun to be able to post pics for all ya'll to see. We got a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9S. Here's a pic of it.

Hurricane Katrina



My husband has left for one week to go down to Mississippi. He is with 17 others who are doing relief work for Katrina victims. They are staying at a church in Gulfport and will be working there and in Biloxi. I'm so glad that he has the opportunity to head down there, yet I'm a little sad that I'm without him for a week. God will do amazing things through them, I just know it. Here are a few pictures of the devastation. These are from the last trip.
