I love your hair

 I was able to go to Children's Mercy Ronald McDonald House tonight. It was really fun. I didnt know what to expect. I just knew a group of people from my Church go there monthly and make dinner for the families. So I went and that place is AMAZING! The kitchen is HUGE! I would love one of those! :) Anyways, I was supposed to be helping cook. But there was a mother and daughter baking cookies when we got there. I began talking to them and they were the sweetest duo ever! The mom was telling me how she was baking the cookies to be fluffy... yum! I have new ideas! :) Any ways we were talking like girls do and the daughter said, "I love your hair." This would have been a comment I would have said thank you and moved on... but I couldnt because I knew when she said it ... she meant it. You see, She had a wig. And she further explained to me about her old hair color and length. She said she and her mom died her hair before it fell out. They died it black, red, pink and whatever else they thought would be fun. And then her hair fell out from the chemo. She was so sweet! She loved to cook and had secret recipes that she loved using. I wanted to tell this story because it really made me think a little more about how vain I can be and it just really humbled me. She is so young and has cancer. And because of her treatment she lost her hair... and I worry about if my part is in the right spot. Her story has made an imprint on my heart. Thank you Hannah.

ONE Week In

Tomorrow is our "official" first full week of the Kansas City life. I cant say it enough... so far... I LOVE IT! Kansas City is such a great place to live. And I would have never thought I would like living in the city... I LOVE IT!!!! Its been amazing here so far. I love our house and the neighborhood... its great! 

A little run-down on the week.

Day 1: We drove to Kansas City in 5 [full] cars. 
Day 2: My cat goes missing.... a few hours later, Tiffany's dog goes missing. What?!? How does that happen... 2 animals in one day? What is going on??? 
Day 3: Tommi shows up downstairs in the CEILING. He is dirtier than EVER! Gross!!!! But he is getting used to everything. Then Michaels parents hit a deer on the way back to St. Louis. The car was totaled but everyone was safe! 
Day 4: I got a job with the Missouri Baptist Children's Home as the Office Manager. It was such a BLESSING. God provided a job for me. I trusted he would After I got this job, I called Holiday Inn to cancel my interview. They offered me a part time job! 2 jobs in one day! Thank you God. I never stopped trusting. I knew he would provide.
Day 5: A hippie gets Tiffany's number from the signs she put up to find Eddie [the dog] and calls her. HE FOUND EDDIE!!!! Eddie came home!!!!
Day 6: I finished my first week of work.  And Im so excited because Im learning so much about Foster Care and Adoption. Michael and I both want to adopt some day so this is perfect!


I am also learning the roads and highways... which is a little rough at times... but my tom tom [gps] has saved the day!!!!!

Well, we miss everyone, but we ABSOLUTELY LOVE it here! 

Youth Sunday

Ok... I get to brag on my Husband today! 

1. Because I can! 

and 

2. Because he did an AWESOME job today preaching! 

His sermon topic was called "live or Live." And it was about living out our Christianity through our everyday lives... not just with the people at church or those who call themselves Christians. We need to be showing people Christ by our words and actions. He was so on target! And he told great stories as well!! I am just so proud of him!!!! And blessed and honored to call him my husband. I am also so thankful God uses him the way He does. 

Yea for Michael!!! :)

After Church we had a lunch with the church and that was fabulous!  They Gave us Beautiful Flowers too!!

 Thanks everyone! 

And then we took the youth BOWLING!!!! 

Here are some pictures to prove it.

 Of Course we had to get some gangster photos. Not everyone was able to be as gangster as Michael and I!!! 

Enjoy!
