I have a husband who is my best friend, my highschool sweetheart and who I am still crazy in love with after almost 15 years together. We have babies... five beautiful, stubborn, imaginative, strong-willed little ones who challenge my wits and sanity every day. I am a lover of God, of birth, of life, of the forest and mountains, of wheat fields. I create things with yarn, needles, my heart and my hands. I am me.

New beginnings
Well, it is about 5:10 in the morning here. The rain just started to come down and the thunder is rumbling. I am expecting to see from one of my babies some time soon, but for now, all three of them are still in bed. I just watched Joe drive away from the only house that we have ever lived in together. The place that we came on our wedding night, the place that we brought all of our babies home to for the first time. The place that we have tried unsuccessfully to grow grass in the backyard three times. But it is okay, i daresay even good. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed at the prospect of packing up the rest of our things here, especially with three children running (or crawling) around at the same time, but i am feeling up to the challenge. The challenge of a new life for all of us. Taking everything that is good in this life, my love for my family and friends here, and welcoming all the good blessings that will come our way. Joe begins his new job on Friday, and is also able to go home to the house that we are renting to begin to set up house for us. It will be a long couple of weeks without him, but we are joined in prayer and love. Life is good.
