And though I NEVER unpack a suitcase this early, it was happening! um...wait. Nope...I just looked over and I left a few things in there. The suitcase is officially still packed. <br />Anyway, I was going back and forth from the closet through the bathroom and back into the bedroom hanging, folding, you know, the stuff you do when unpacking. It took me just a couple trips back and forth to realize that Espen my 4 year old had been following me. He was literally on my heels. I said playfully "Are you following me"? He responded with "Yep"! I didn't respond and then he chimed in with "Mom, you know why I follow you?" Me: "Why?" Espen: "Because I love you".<br />I literally stopped in my tracks. Mainly because my heart was melting and I couldn't take another step! I turned around and kneeled down to get on his level and said "Espen I love you so much! And you can totally follow me if you want." He smiled, said ok with a smile, then gave me the biggest hug.<br /><br />This is a moment I always want to remember and I never want to forget (Yes I'm redundant on purpose).<br /><br />Two reasons why I want to hold that moment dear and keep in my perverbial pocket...<br /><br />1. It's a crystal clear picture for me and my relationship with my heavenly father. I want to be with my heavenly father. On his heels. I want to be wherever He is. <br />2. It will be a wonderful teaching tool to show Espen and Oliver one day how they can be with our heavenly father. And until Espen is a believer, I can tell him that that is how I follow Christ just like you follow me.<br /><br />My deepest prayers are that I will please my heavenly Father and follow Him, and that my children will walk in our footsteps as we follow Him. <br />Follow me Espen as I follow Christ! <br /><br />1 Cor 11:1<br /><br />Yes Espen I'm totally ok with you following me!DuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-53075959861404528812010-12-21T14:15:00.003-06:002010-12-21T14:56:42.578-06:00Looking ahead and staying here.Ahhh Here we go--Again!<br /><br />Welcome (or welcome back) to our blog! I'm honestly not sure where to go with this blog. So many questions fill my mind. Is this a family update, talks from the heart, work being published, an exercise of the written word once again... yes i guess it is.<br /><br />I'm sitting here at a old rickety yellow desk in our 2nd floor apartment right above the street. Espen naps and Ryan is wrapping up some things for work, and I have the day off. It's time to exercise and work my voice a little. My writing voice. It's the week of Christmas, 4 days in fact until Christmas day. I'm neutral. Of course I adore family time and wish time would slow down in those moments. I love having a break off work. I love this time to reflect on the beautiful story of our Savior coming to deliver His people from their oppression. Sometimes I try to get into Mary's head and ponder with her the things she would accomplish, or her son for that matter! I'm amazed at her obedience and willingness....<br />There are a few more gifts to pick up but i'm putting it off until tomorrow. <br /><br />When Fall blows in, I get excited and start looking for all my sweaters. Even though I won't be really needing them until January I must put them close. The pumpkins start rolling out and appearing everywhere, we start to plan Espen's birthday. October 31st comes and goes way too fast. I soak up every day until Thanksgiving. Now that's my favorite holiday. The noise and sounds of Christmas start ringing and getting louder... yes I love this time of year but I'm mostly looking forward to New Years. For the same reason I like Mondays. It's a fresh start. I get to dream and make new plans. <br />Though I'm still formulating in my mind what my "new list" for the new year will be, There are a few things that rise to the top of the ever evolving list. <br /><br />* Less Hulu, More reading<br />* I want to cook more<br />* More writing singing and playing<br /> <br />But most of all I want to make our home a place I want to be. We are transient by nature and mind, but Bishop Taban from Southern Sudan said one thing in early december when visiting our church... "You can't bloom unless you've been planted."<br />I want that. I'm not sure really how that would look for our little family, but I think I'm a little more ready than before. <br />Ryan and I have done a lot of talking and crying and waiting this last year. Living in the struggle of our will vs. God's will...our dreams and what's laying here before us, and we feel like 2011 is a year for us to get ready. For what? I'm not sure. I desire to hear God's voice, see His hand position and move us to where He can use us. We are willing. So willing.<br />So when I think about the new year, i just wonder what's next. I feel like i'm always on my tippy toes looking for the next thing.<br />This might be hard for a visionary like myself, but in 2011, I want to pivot my chair from the window back to the living area. This is where we are. This is where we love. This is where we're made ready. We will go and do, no doubt about that. This is where we are investing in memories...for the time being.<br />Trust. Patience. Rest. Deep planting is what I want to grow in this year. <br />A quiet grounded feeling for stability and balance like on a dance floor.<br /><br />Ready Willing Waiting Resting. That's me.<br /><br />LindeyDuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-72467520898654054832010-05-14T00:37:00.005-05:002010-05-14T01:19:24.227-05:00family bandUncle Connor came for a visit!

I had never been to canton before! They have what is called First Monday. It's like a gigantic flea market on hundreds of acres in tons of tents and pavillions on the weekends right before the first Monday of every month.<div>It was 40 degrees and I wore 5 shirts, gloves, long underwear, lip saver from Aveda, and a good pair of shoes. </div><div>Becky and I were on a mission. We did not want to stay all day, and I knew exactly what I was looking for. My list included a storage cabinet or buffet for my dining room, a chandelier, 2 vintage chairs to mismatch with my others at our dining table, writing desk, and any other treasure I thought I might "need"..... The whole place smelled like fair food, bad coffee, moth balls, and old people. I don't know how many people we saw on scooters pulling their carts behind them just in case of finding treasures. Some people go to Canton and stay the whole weekend because of all the shopping there is to do there. We saw motor homes, trailers, vans, trucks and any other big vehicle to carry things home in. So the people that bring the big vehicles and stay all weekend don't walk very fast. I mean they have 3 days to choose and gather and shop and eat! Becky and I on the other hand walked like Black Friday shoppers, weaving in a out of all the other people. </div><div><br /></div><div>We found some amazing things! I didn't come home with my chandelier or any other thing that wasn't on the list in my mind, which is probably a good thing. I don't mind to wait for the perfect thing.</div><div><br /></div><div>Also, these items I don't even need to rebuild or sand down or paint! There are a few changes I will make to the hutch I bought but I will keep you up to date on how that project is going, when I decide to start it.</div><div><br /></div><div>There's nothing better than finding a good deal! And making an even better deal by negotiating! (which I'm still learning to do with my friend's help ;) </div><div>I think I spent around $200 for everything! My most favorite purchase was 2 magenta chairs! "When in doubt pick magenta!"</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEydKM4r2KFIglEBDZZTRsMHJB0VdZTtr8iWRJLmYYvpNillFHLSjTSPv_KDXylbIUzXwggOV5dGlB7z9chGVvz-PzY06TpEXjP5DSf2RhRBwXre7te5nUzTezzIJnopGdR1hr3yKbQfs/s320/IMG_2085.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411891855917447266" style="display: block;

It's called the Grocery Game. It was started by this woman named Teri Gault. Ryan and I saw her on the Donny Deutsch show when were were living in Houston...I thought it was cool then but didn't participate in it or learn anything more about it. It's just been recently that my friend, and now next door neighbor Becky, told me about it. She saves so much freaking money! She is teaching me the ins and outs of it all and I've been simply picking up a sunday paper full of great coupons which I date and file away, only to pull on them when its time to grocery shop. You go on to thegrocerygame.com and set up an account for a small fee every 2 months, put in your zip code, and in return, Teri gives you the participating stores in your area, and all of their deals and specials going on. You have to check it out!<div>Ryan is fully amazed and pretty much thinks i'm a super woman. Well thats what I feel like at least when I stand at the register and see my bill rack up to around $120, hand over my kroger card and it falls down to around $65 and then give a few coupons (which took me like 10 min to clip, because you only clip the ones Teri tells you to clip, hence, the small fee you pay for convenience) and ends at about $50. Thats what happened today. And that also included a 20 lb. turkey!</div><div>Some deals in the last few weeks have been so great!</div><div>- I bought a package of bacon, and with it came a dozen large eggs, box of bfast sausages, fruit cup, and english muffins all came free.</div><div>- Buy one get one free Wheat bread</div><div>- Evaporated Milk (for baking) free!</div><div>- Free Downy fabric softener</div><div>- Ghirardelli supreme brownie mix .99</div><div><br /></div><div>...on and on! All name brand items, all great food! My friend Becky last week bought a gallon of milk for a dollar!!</div><div><br /></div><div>In the words of Ryan "That's pretty awesome!! just sayin"</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div>DuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-28747749308487598182009-11-12T21:03:00.002-06:002009-11-12T21:10:56.586-06:00testing one, two<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></span></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEO0isjDFbC6A_AGhPRGraZmsj75zFTXtMYtA3CKX6XOqhdYZUdmwylh5Jb21dHjqRgVA99j5HaC0e0MLrq3M9nH4CQ8R_Lx4ldSQVMCfuLwjAzaQeiAsd75TfrCu20XatULEKgnCpgTo/s1600-h/DSCF5683.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEO0isjDFbC6A_AGhPRGraZmsj75zFTXtMYtA3CKX6XOqhdYZUdmwylh5Jb21dHjqRgVA99j5HaC0e0MLrq3M9nH4CQ8R_Lx4ldSQVMCfuLwjAzaQeiAsd75TfrCu20XatULEKgnCpgTo/s320/DSCF5683.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403419562392507186" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Found this pic, have no idea where we're going.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">(my friend Aina just showed me how to use blogger.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Just trying it out this way)</div>DuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-57225339851882268702009-11-03T00:14:00.012-06:002009-11-03T00:57:35.519-06:00Espen is 2!<div style="text-align: justify;"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="georgia">October 31st Espen turned two years old. I hardly remember him being a little baby! now he's a big boy saying sentences, learning to share with his little friends, brushing his teeth, eating new foods...etc. I LOVE this age! Espen is very polite and uses his manners well. How can a little wicked heart be so polite? :) So many friends came out for his birthday party which was held in the courtyard outside of our place. Sunny and 70! Perfect. Most came in costume, I think more would have come in costume if we had actually included it on the invite. The invites are another issue. Anyway, such a great long day on Saturday!

I have no idea how to keep this blog alive or make it cool. I don't know how to really follow blogs, or put all the cool little things on my blog. I admit a very large portion of me doesn't want to take the time to do this. Yes I'm overwhelmed. I can't just continue to keep up pretenses. I can type. Got that going for me. I can barely upload photos, i wish i could upload photos like my friend Aina on her blog, but I have no clue how to do it and always forget to ask her. <br />I'm a perfectionist sometimes and i don't always want to publish something I've written unless its been edited a hundred times. I'm just getting back to the purpose of this blog and why it exists. I have many ideas for it...topics, pics, recipes (only 1 really), the way it should look....but now i beg the question--to myself, "Are you willing? Willing to stay with it and do what it takes?"<br />My writer side says YES! my transient side says "nah, whats the next thing?" My Artsy side says "maybe this should just be a photo blog" My Designer says "make it a fashion blog" .... see, very conflicting. <br />And. When I blog/post, who should i be writing to? Now i'm so confused! Am I writing to myself? To friends? Family? To the people who I wish read my blog? who would that be anyway? <br /><br />Contemplating some very heavy things right now....DuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-70869933827367467642009-07-29T14:51:00.001-05:002009-07-29T14:51:54.722-05:00I dreamt last night that I was running. Through the woods down a long path, up hills, and through rough terrain. I never got tired just more energetic the more I ran! <p>How I wish it could happen in real life!<p>-LindeyDuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-29357351302484664962009-07-28T01:25:00.002-05:002009-07-28T01:54:09.808-05:00aaaaand break!AAAAHHHHHHH!!!<br />It's been amazing having a break! School is over, thank the Lord, and I start my new job in a Salon (Pura Vida Salon) in 7 days. When I left school i was really ok with never ever doing hair again. I was burnt out and tired to say the least. 2 days after school ended, Ryan and I were involved in a youth camp for 10 days near Houston, so that allowed some time for me to visit my music/worship leader side....it had been a while since I had even sung. But I can't say it was the break that I so desperately needed. When we got home I was able to sleep in a bit and start to enjoy my home and being with Ryan and Espen more, going to the Water Park, walks, lunches and so on. I've met with my new soon-to-be boss James and I feel good about where I'm going....excited actually. I've decided not to lay down my shears; too early for that.<br />I think all I'm trying to say is that I feel like i've had that break that I needed. I feel like myself again. I feel creative, i love blogging more, taking more pictures, cleaning my house (i've cleaned my house like 2 times in one week--yes Ryan is in shock too!) to take a walk, read books while it rains outside, show Espen how to jump on the couch without falling off (which he fell today, nothing broken just a tongue-bite), re-arrange my furniture (again), hang a piece of art Ryan and I made.... so essentially, i don't hate my life like I had the end of June when my schooling was almost completed....<br /><br />So for the very near future<br />I will try:<br />to keep this positive and restful attitude when I start my job as a stylist<br />to look for quality time to spend with Ryan....love talking on the patio<br />to continue spending time reading and rereading scripture<br />to lift Christ higher in my life in general and everyday<br />to get more rest and keep a peaceful home<br />to maybe cook dinner sometime before I die<br />to be a good mommy, realizing we've been given a little heart to steward<br />to count it all joy....all.<br /><br />Only with God's help I can do these things.<br /><br />-LindeyDuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-87548987218189315332009-07-28T01:10:00.017-05:002009-07-28T02:48:52.296-05:00First for everythingIt was time. Time to cut the wings off the back corners of E's head. Most of his hair would curl except the back corners. they would stick straight out, and flap in the wind when he would run and whip him in the eyes during jeep rides with with the top down. So it was time. I was a little sad but it happened. <br />He sat still for 3.5 seconds.....<br /><br /><br><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirvOXu3y5bjbAH04J5okC0Jb553ZR4sjg7DVSywpeyz-wbeYkrniEbI1UZ10v6CwczYSXNYxyHQvwCDHIDRC3qTLcsiqGSvgaQBz8kl_MQJ1n4-a2EM2HZ2sZj6533fuoRy4Ux3NtksuQ/s1600-h/IMG_4019.JPG"><img style="float:left;

I'm not quite sure what his little mind and heart can grasp but I am sure that his little spirit, the one God created in him, knows. Earlier he was jumping and dancing and singing into an orange bat. He loves loves music and guitars and drumsticks and pedal boards, I just wonder what God might be saying to his heart, or drawing him to.<br />My heart melted as I noticed and I felt inspired yet convicted that in the middle of his play he sings and worships, claps at the end of songs and raises his hands, that this is what the kingdom of God looks like....Children at play, worshipping and listening and open to the spirit of the Lord.DuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-66680082605219326032009-06-05T23:38:00.001-05:002009-06-05T23:38:57.642-05:00Here's a update....<br>I have 4 more weeks of school, I'm tired mind and body and in desperate need of a vacation!! I must admit I'm working through being happy for everyone who gets some time off and is going away...that's just my honesty groaning ;)<br>Espen says so many more words now! Like " oh no, wait wait wait, mall, bus, hello, bye, yaya (for aunt Lydia)...." E loves fruit and raisins and Goldfish, and so many other things :) He is a very good helper! The other night when I said " start thinking about going to bed" he started taking toys to his room and went to get his blanket. He came back into the room and said Yay! Ready I guess!<br>Ryan is keeping us together he listens when I cry every weekend and keeps the house awesome and is taking incredible care of Espen, he squeezes in work when E sleeps and late at night. He is also playing out almost every weekend... All of us are ready for that break!<p>This weekend I'm taking it easy and trying to enjoy the sunshine, going to brunch with friends, and getting some pool time in hopefully! <br>Tonight we went to Yogurtland! I cannot believe how much I love this place!! It was a fun treat we had after riding in the jeep in the warm weather and having Aunt Holly over for dinner. (Ryan makes amaaaaaaaazing chicken tacos)<p>Ok love peace and happiness :)<br>Later folksDuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-74016991864077112902009-04-26T22:33:00.003-05:002009-04-27T00:14:30.123-05:00Rice CookerOk. so the latest thing in our house is a Rice Cooker. I feel as if I know a secret that everyone should know!!! It's just crazy. I have no idea how long rice cookers have been around but I love them. We have the one that is black and you can steam veggies on the top rack. So fast, easy, and yummy! The rice we've been using is organic long brown rice from whole foods. So great with chicken and any veggie really.... <br />Just try it. Get it. Use it. Often.<br /><br />Well there it is.<br />:)DuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-79639781895658885492009-04-21T00:53:00.001-05:002009-04-21T00:53:06.533-05:00Trying this new thing...blogging from my phone!DuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-17879398403753403432009-04-05T22:46:00.003-05:002009-04-05T23:06:52.384-05:00Busy!Ok its serious how much Espen talks now. Talking and singing. My most favorite word that he says is AMEN! he says it so loud and long. All you have to say is ...in Jesus' name...and he finishes it every time! He's also in the parrot phase. Well for a while now he recognizes our street, when we pull in he makes a very high pitch "yay" or "ome" for home. So tonight after getting back from target I said 'where are we?' and he said "are-we". When the car stopped I said 'lets get out!' and he says "eh-out". He wants to say everything! <br />My mom (his Nona) has successfully taught him to answer a question she asks him often..."Who does Nona love?" and he shrills "me"! I believe he is taking pride in all the words he can now say; or almost say. :)<br />Busy and energetic is his middle name. I feel like it increases every day! And I'm not home as much as Ryan is. <br />All of Espen's teeth are poking through from the front to the molars to everything in between. <br /><br />I'm pleased that I got to spend a whole day and a half with him this weekend. It was a crazy one, but I had some good QT with him. I've been getting a lot of hugs, and today standing in line at a restaurant he pulled my face to his and gave me a kiss!<br />i have a long week ahead...I'm daily giving my "mommy guilt" to God. The mommy-guilt never ends I'm told, no matter what you're doing, but this week I'm going to take one day at a time and look for opportunities to show love and be with my little one!DuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-8385390234363261422009-03-25T22:35:00.018-05:002009-03-25T23:43:10.950-05:00lately....Weird! second blog in a row! yes I've missed it.<br />I finally uploaded some pics off the camera, I shall post whatever I think is good to catch you up....<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW_o2MZBWyIQ72FvfKhHzafUgZVOOKed9jvDiv6Mg0vaP0xzKycJwglp4IsOMk5bS_iS7__5Qv91GoHQq7vL2d1vwoiRkEj2BS7k1YmJlPAJGAgL0a-uEdfTNRB6U6HNehHdgYLtp-8A0/s1600-h/IMG_3700.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Though I feel as though I don't have enough time to blog myself I feel that it is faster to read some favorites than sit and think of thoughts on my own :)<br />But you must visit this blog! It just makes me think and rethink about things. What I'm putting in my mouth, what I'm using on my skin, where and how i'm spending my money, on and on and on.<br />A friend of mine is the writer and she is so inspiring. I've learned so much already!<br />Somebody give this girl a book deal!!!<br /><br /><ul><br /><li><a href='http://www.frugalwellness.blogspot.com/'>www.frugalwellness.blogspot.com</a></li><br /></ul>DuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-57154426833629274172009-03-14T23:57:00.002-05:002009-03-14T23:59:31.820-05:00a few things...- 91 days of school left<br /><br />- I'm ready for vacation<br /><br />- i can't believe we all slept in till 11am today!DuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-89136881627976076842009-02-16T09:35:00.003-06:002009-02-16T09:55:50.743-06:00RoutineI've never been one to obey or be happy in a weekly schedule....you know, the kind where its the same every week pretty much. I feel weird even saying how our schedule has actually been so great for us and has worked! I'm in school 5 days a week therefore away from my boys for about 40 hours a week. Some days its tough for me but for Espen it has totally worked out being with Ryan. He's such a daddy's boy. My Sun Mon and Tues mornings are so great because I can be with Espen and actually feel like i'm off. I have to keep reminding myself that this will only last till July. I'm so glad for a short season of this. <br /><br />I was home a few days last week but it was because I was violently ill with food poisoning....Ryan too. If you feel the urge to buy the tub of popcorn in the checkout line at blockbuster, just turn your head and walk on. Yes I ate the whole thing. Ryan just ate a tiny portion of it and got just as sick as I did. Poor Espen...Ryan threw him into his bed on that thursday so he could run to the bathroom to throw up. We were so weak we couldn't take care of Espen. Thankfully my dad and Lydia drove up to pick up Espen and he stayed with them for 2 nights while we recovered. Yeah, I never want to go through that again!<br /><br />It is the middle of February and natural point in the year where I start to become antsy....cabin fever, wanting to put away the winter clothes, wanting to spend more time outside with wagon walks, stroller rides, eat lunch on the patio...but I'm finding the joy in the end of winter....keep the tea out and the hot water going. Enjoy the fuzzy boots for a while longer and be sure to snuggle with those I love.<br /><br />I promise to blog more....I'll have to put it in my scheduleDuckworthFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05206225090969730075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361081347978361203.post-17906615337476502542009-01-21T23:40:00.006-06:002009-01-22T00:32:01.730-06:00a few things...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX-EkxnaWhleg7CBTt-mUq6Cwe0jQdec9ZInykTx9X8sDZHzJvpG43uShMicpDLKIpyvKFGK85kigEgQNK8CVUMM9EZqxP_9c8JaDdV-plYDwdJl99PIrwY4kCSRblClNkSRpd0n0f07k/s1600-h/IMG_3478.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX-EkxnaWhleg7CBTt-mUq6Cwe0jQdec9ZInykTx9X8sDZHzJvpG43uShMicpDLKIpyvKFGK85kigEgQNK8CVUMM9EZqxP_9c8JaDdV-plYDwdJl99PIrwY4kCSRblClNkSRpd0n0f07k/s320/IMG_3478.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294002032806582482" /></a><br /><br />- My Grandpa was ordained tonight as a Deacon at Prestonwood. This was something that he never sought after but was asked many times over to consider, and finally he accepted. We all attended (the McWilliams Family) this event tonight and it was rather special! Ministry is not foreign to my Grandparents, they are ministry. For most of their lives they have given themselves to people in so many ways. There are so many stories I still haven't heard, but I know that he was a chaplain in the Navy, They've had young people in their home to live with them, they've started bible study groups, helped start and fund a traveling singing group called the Horizons, he's been an elder, a pastor, a business exec for most of his career (which is another form of pastoring to another kind of congregation :) group leader, teacher, and now a Deacon at 75 years old. He is a spiritual giant and incredible example. We were so proud to support him tonight.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFdCxtqO11fK0hGx3nM4-lFFh9UYoidohWArXi_nGLVitMvwRlxOUzfIU4DYxXQsyhINyQvPeyk-nBdtD-6DrgyXjxnsBPL2iDhEereW29l3jj0_z-2vbAAYh46vtOfWem7HLxHuX0g7k/s1600-h/IMG_3496.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFdCxtqO11fK0hGx3nM4-lFFh9UYoidohWArXi_nGLVitMvwRlxOUzfIU4DYxXQsyhINyQvPeyk-nBdtD-6DrgyXjxnsBPL2iDhEereW29l3jj0_z-2vbAAYh46vtOfWem7HLxHuX0g7k/s320/IMG_3496.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294001161147710050" /></a><br /><br />- Espen said 'cat' and 'horse' today....of course its not the full word just variations. He just says the 't' and 's' sounds. He loves to bark at dogs in a high pitch woof woof, and every single person gets a "see ya!" when we're passing by; including tonight when we were all at Prestonwood witnessing the 'swearing in' or ordination night of their Deacons. It was a special night tonight and kind of sacred in a way, so when Ryan takes Espen out after being on Nona's lap for a while, he turns back to our row and to the back section in the auditorium and says "see ya"! Classic.<br />He also loves to count to three.<br /><br />- I am back at Cosmetology school to finish, and i'm excited about being back and am starting to get busy seeing clients again. It's been weird getting into a schedule in a way. Ryan stays with Espen, where he can work during nap and some play times. I miss my guys being away around 30 hours a week. I'm glad it's for a season though, I will be finished in July.<br />As a matter of fact, if you're in the Dallas area I'm at The Salon Professional Academy at I35 and bus. 121.....a Redken salon with great prices.
