Some things are just too hard to understand at first...

Well all, I just wanted to post about a dream I had in which I feel God was speaking to me.

Brandon and I and a couple of his friends from ECA were staying at his parent's house (which wasn't his parent's house at all, but a dingy, scary, dark dungeon of a "home"). In the middle of the night I had to go to the bathroom, the only one open was the one in the basement. *Side note* I am scared of basement's (ironic eh?) and I am also scared of the dark. I don't know why, but I am always afraid something or someone is lerking around the corner.... anyway, back to the dream.

SO I  go downstairs to the bathroom in the basement, the lightswitch didn't turn the lights on, so I had to go up to them and pull the little pully. I turned on the first one, which barely did anything at all, it was dimmer than a nightlight. I reached for the next one, and nothing. I reached for the next, again nothing. I started to panic and kept reaching, and pulling, reaching and pulling. Still nothing. Finally, on the last one I pulled, another light came on. Again, it was dimmer than a night light. I ran upstairs to tell my mother-in-law that the lights weren't working properly and I couldn't find the bathroom.

She told me that I had to use what little light there was to find my way to the bathroom, and once I got in there, the light would work. I told her I'd wait until later when the other bathroom was open and she said to me,

"Its like when God asks you to do something, and you can't see the positive in it. You have trust Him to take care of you even when you don't know where He is taking you."

Then she quoted scripture, and for the life of me I can't remember where it was found or what verse it was. All I know is that this dream was really speaking to me, you all will understand soon enough as to why. I just can't bring myself to discuss things right now. I just wanted to share this and ask for prayer. God knows the issues at hand, and when I am ready, you will as well.

nothing too very interesting...

Well well well... What to write about...

This week end, for the 4th, we had a cookout with friends, my parents and Brandon's parents. That was on Saturday. Sunday, we had a chill day with my side of the family during the day, then made a trip to gas city to visit Brandon's Uncle Jon, and cousins Mackenzie and Dustin. They were at the Okes, so we were visiting with them as well. We stayed the night and spent most of the day with them on Monday then went straight to my dad's parent's house to spend more time with my family. Kyle had a fun, busy week end! He got to try being a pool (HATED it), and also got to play with a kitten, which I didn't get pics of, but he wasn't very interested in it anyway, and he met Hershey and Cody, the Okes, and Brandon's uncle and cousins. Little guy has been so tuckered out these past few days, he's been whiny, eating, and sleeping. Except for the whiny part, I'll take it! ;o) He really is a good babe though!

Yesterday afternoon/evening, as well as today, Brandon and I went car shopping. We found a decent deal on a 2000 Nissan Maxima, and bought it! We go back tomorrow to pick it up, since Brandon had to get to work we didn't have time to do all the paperwork! Yay, I got my very own car! :o) Ok, its a family car, and we are sharing it, but still, a "new" car is just so exciting, our first real big purchase as a married couple and family!

Here are some pics of the past few days and just because!
