Uncle Ryan and Aunt Ashley
Made a special trip to Tulsa today to spend some time with Ashley and Ryan . He deploys to Afghanistan October 10th. We enjoyed eating at Olive Garden and just walking around the mall with them. Didn't take many pictures but here are a couple from today. We love you both! Praying for safety for Ryan and peace and understanding for you both.
Jasen and Kristen's Visit
Our friends stopped by today to see us, meet the gliders and have lunch. We made pasta, homemade hummus, vegetables-and cookies with coffee (yum!) Brooklyn liked showing them around and getting lots of attention. It was nice to relax and visit with friends. Then we went to the gym, did lots of homework, took a Geography test and now Aaron, Brooklyn and I are all snuggled on the couch watching The Lion King. Hakuna Matata!

Happy Fall! Trip to Tulsa
Brooklyn and I made a trip to Tulsa for Shea's birthday, Madison's soccer game and stopped at the pumpkin patch. Madison did so well! She scored 2 goals and her team won! Good job Maddie! Brooklyn had so much fun and I was glad I got to see the kids, Blake and Shea. 
Pumpkin Patch Fun!
Brooklyn loved the pumpkin patch. I think her favorite part was the little play houses. She picked out a tiny baby pumpkin. It was such beautiful weather and I'm glad we got to spend time with mom.

He gave what the world couldn't offer us.

Sent from my iPhone Hillsong: Your Name High-- "Say what they want...we are free!" This song touched my heart yesterday. I struggle so much with "fitting into" a work environment, building relationships based upon others interest, hiding my true opinions in fear of hurting someone, being stabbed by the past and I've come to realize what is truly important. God gave his son's life for us. What greater gift could there be? How dare I focus my time and energy on how others feel about me versus investing in those people who love me unconditionally and especially focusing on striving to be more like Christ. I am here to make a difference. I am here to raise a daughter in Christ's love. I am here to pray for my Husband and be his teammate through life. I am driven to be a great friend and be available to those in need. I have a passion for nursing and can make a difference that others don't care to make. I want change. I want to use the talents God gave me to be the best person I can be and be a positive influence to others. I am writing this as a reminder to not let a negative person destroy the plans God has for me and my family or simply ruin my day.
Your innocence forsaken
Upon that cross
You gave Yourself for us
Carried into Your freedom
Our broken past replaced in
A second chance
The chains have come undone
Death defied in the Father's love
We are,
Living to make Your Name high Jesus
Living to make Your Name high Jesus You,
Gave what the world couldn't offer us
Say what they want, Say what they want
We are free
The atmosphere is changing,
Oh can You hear
The people rising up
In the hope of Your freedom
Our former ways are breaking
We seek Your face,
God let Your kingdom come
In our praises be lifted up
With eyes on high we praise You
And with one voice we come together
Our one desire to praise You
And lift You up in our surrender
With eyes on high we praise You
And with one voice we come together
Our one desire to praise You

BK and Glider food
I feel like since we've moved we have constantly been rushing Brooklyn everywhere. We gotta go to work, we have to take Daddy to clinical, you have to get to preschool...go go go! Hurry hurry hurry! I wanted to take her to do something special and just for her and she decided she wanted donuts. She picked out a pink icing donut and some "bally ones" aka donut holes. She had some apple juice and we just relaxed, took our time and talked. We both really enjoyed it. I also included a picture of our normal sugar glider feeding because a lot of people wonder what they eat. The mixed vegetable bag lasts a whole month. :) Last night was their first time to have a banana. They ate a little of it but spinach leaves are still their favorite I think. Wish I could them some eucalyptus leaves! They would go crazy.
