#27

27 is one of those numbers that looks prime, but it's not. The fact that it's 30 minus 3 gives it away. In fact, the number is actually pretty close to 90% of 30, about as close as a number can get to 90% that is. Isn't it funny how we are always using whole numbers to quantify things that really pretty inexact. For example, our ages...we always round them down. People who are about to get to their 40th birthday say they are 39 right up until the exact second of the anniversary of their birth.

This brings me to an interesting point. My dearest Sarah is turning 27 today, which sounds a whole lot younger than the 31 I'm turning in 2 weeks and 3 days. For the next three years I can still grin thinking I'm an old 30-something with a hot young 20-something wife. When that's over I'll have to wait 6 more years to do more grinning of that sort, at which point our children will be 10, 9, 8, and 6, truncating of course.



That being said, Sarah, with whom I was in love for a bit over 6 years (more like 6.34 years if you are counting) before she actually married me, has been my wife for 5 years, 2 months, and 12 days (5.1995 years). That means in about 1.14 years, we will have been married for more than half our relationship.

I'm not sure if that means much to anyone else, but that sure means a lot to me. I really love my wife. May I get to love her for another 11.5395 years. And another after that. In fact, may we be together for a thousand more 11.5395 yearses!

This, btw, is the oldest picture of Sarah for which I have a digital version. This is from 1998. I'm sure I could scan one from Sarah's old pictures, but this is the only thing close to a decent picture I had of her for a long time (SNIFF).

Happy 27th Birthday Sarah!

Please pray!!!

Tomorrow David and I take Noah  in for a consultation with a GI specialist. There is a possibility that he has Gardeners syndrome. I don't know if anyone has heard much about it, but it can eventually be quite serious and fatal for him. I am believing the Lord for a good report. I will leave a link to it here. I don't have a lot of time tonight to go into how it came about that we are getting him tested and exactly what is happening with him, but I hope to sit down some time this week and fill you guys in. Please if you guys have some time or think about it pray that the report will be a good one. We are believing God and we know he is faithful!!!

Yummy dog food!

Awhile back my dad took some funny pictures of Dawson enjoying a nice bowl of dog food with molly (his dog). I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!!!

Happy Birthday Sweet Caleb!

Today is my sweet Caleb's birthday. He is 4. I can't believe how time flies. I am thankful to God for this precious gift in my life. He has been a great joy to me, and many others. He is a great big brother, with a big heart that cares for those in need. He is the first to ask if I am okay if I sneeze or even cough. He cares for his brothers and holds a very big special place in his heart for his baby sister. I am in love with my first born Son. He is a beautiful boy inside and out and I am excited about what God has in store for his life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET, SWEET BOY!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!

Again....

 I posted not to long ago about my lap-top's hard drive breaking after dropping my computer. Since then it was fixed and we were back to normal. Last week things began to get a little crazy again. I got really sick, and David was getting a bit worn out with working all day and having to pick up the slack where I was lacking :(. I hate it when I am sick. I don't like seeing my husband and family worn out because mommy can't be mommy. It breaks my heart. However, During one of our crazy moments in the house David went to grab his laptop and it slipped out of his bag. Of course the hard drive went. To put some icing on the cake, the day before he dropped his laptop he decided to empty his external drive, which of course had everything back upped on it. He was updating something, and was going to back everything up again the very next day. Crazy stuff huh? Who would have thought. Well, we thought everything was okay because he had just loaded all of our photos and stuff onto my computer and that was really the most important to us. When I checked my computer just to make sure it was all there. We realized something had happened in the transfer and I didn't get all the photos put on mine. So.... we were very sad and thought we had lost them all. I of course started crying at the thought of losing all of my babies pictures. Well to make a very long story short we worked it out so that David could keep his old drive. Apparently there is a place that can retrieve the data from a broken drive. It's very costly, but one day it will be worth saving the money to have done. The catch was that he had to buy a new drive and install it himself. Even though he has a warranty on his laptop that allows him to get it replaced and fixed for free. If he was to send it in and let them fix it they would have kept his old drive and wouldn't give it back.

Not two days later I dropped mine again and my hard drive went. This is just nuts. Luckily we had just backed up everything on my computer so still have everything. Yeah!!!

I just hope we are done with this dropping of the laptops.

Stay tuned I have some cute costume pictures I will post this weekend :-).
