Shawn and Kristen's wedding "party"

Last night Justin, Janna, Rebekah, and i went to the best wedding reception i have ever been to. the food was great, we got to meet some new people and talk with them but the best part was the band. They came out dressed as 80's icons. it was great. They were an 80's tribute band and they were really good. I have this personal love of 80's music so it was so much fun and their costumes only added to the night. Janna danced for about 1 1/2 hours straight she liked them to. Their band name was great The Molly Ringwalds, i have to say it suited them. thanks Shawn and Kristen for inviting us to share in that special night for you guys.

Thursday night dream

So thursday night i had a pretty interesting dream.

I start off at some kind of hunting camp with Scott and Justin and i am angry with justin so i just walk off on my own, then somebody starts escorting me to a conference type facility. First, she takes me into this huge auditorium. So I choose a seat that i think no one will notice me in because i get the feeling that there will be picking and choosing from this room. I just so happens that I sit down next to another girl that escorts me out of the huge auditorium into a smaller one, when I ask her why we're leaving all she says is they are'nt happy with the numbers. I get into the smaller auditorium and pass by some familiar faces amongst other people sitting in a specific section with guards all around them. I walk just in front of them and sit across the aisle. A few moments later as i am trying figure out what is going on they tell us to move down to the floor, so i go down and take a seat beside this russian woman. Whenever i sit down someone on the intercom tells us this is our last chance to leave and take a seat with the guarded group. I turn to the russian woman to ask her whats going on and she replies, "Ishmael is telling those people who don't believe in him and his teachings to leave." What!!! I look over and a man that resembles Hitler is walking down to our group of about 20 people, he seems to be "Ishmael." As my dreams ends i am sitting in my chair thinking if i get up i will be martyred and if i don't i will have denied my savior. I woke up just after that thought. this has got to be the most intense dream i have ever had. Feeling the pressure in the dream i had made me appreciate the freedom i have to serve my God without the threat of martyrdom, but i don't know maybe one day "Ishmael" will rise to power. just kidding. unless i'm a prophetic dreamer. ok, just kidding.

Dove Hunt

GOOD BOY

justin was gracious enough to offer his bird dog services this year at the dove hunt. I sure am lucky to have found this one.

It snowed in Lafayette yesterday

Yesterday I took Janna and Rebekah for a walk in the stroller(thanks Mrs. Julie) around the apartment complex. When we came to about the end our walk Janna found the sand volleyball court and proceeded to make snowmen and play in the snow. I thought it was hilarious but as a parent, I felt compelled to quickly teach her the difference between sand and snow.

side note: when typing this blog I accidentally typed fir instead of for.
...Janna and Rebekah fir a walk...- just felt a little "country."

8:30 a.m.

Lately Rebekah has been sleeping a consistent 6-7 hours at night but last night she slept for a beautiful 9 1/2 hours straight. What could make that better; well, Janna didn't wake up until 8 herself, so I got some sleep.
