Lover, Justin, Herd Bird etc.

I love him!

By Jen | November 18, 2007 | 3

I just need to write about my husband because I think he is so amazing on so many levels!  If you know me at all, you know that I have the shortest attention span and I can sometimes be pretty critical of speakers…especially if I don’t have a lot of respect for them.  Anyways….Justin spoke tonight at the church he used to work at and it just made me respect him even more.  I love his heart and his passions and I just think he is all around an amazing guy!  I am so thankful for him and I think he is the bestest!  That’s all!

By Jen | November 12, 2007 | 5

And of course a cute Maisie picture!  This is her newest favorite thing to do…sucking on and blowing through a little pipe thing while crawling around. And then this next one is of Justin and Maisie’s jam session.  They were seriously both playing together.  I personally think that is just about the cutest thing ever!!

Happy Halloween!

By Jen | November 1, 2007 | 3

I know this is probably so ridiculous, but I was so excited to be in the states for Maisie’s first Halloween, or rather, my first Halloween with a child!  On Sunday we went to a Trunk or Treat at Adventure Church.  Here are a couple pictures from that!  And by the way, it was so hot Maisie couldn’t even wear her costume unless we were in the air conditioned building!  Maisie is going for a walk! My pretty little sister Kylie, all dressed up for Halloween! On Halloween night, we went to our friends’ house to celebrate with a bunch of people!  It was so fun!  Maisie got a lot of candy (which unfortunately, is going straight to my belly and thighs)!  Maisie was a chicken, but here she is in her little tie-dye onesie!  On a side note….Maisie spilled water on herself and it also tie-dyed her poor little…

See ya later Paris!

By Jen | August 28, 2007 | 6

That’s right.  I am not saying goodbye yet because we are coming back in January and besides, this is a place I know we will visit again and again (at least if we are living in Europe somewhere)! We had a really great last day here spending time with friends!  We did stop by the Eiffel tower for a bit, as well as hand over the keys to our apartment.  Here are some pictures from our last day living in Paris.  Don’t miss the video at the end! I like to take pictures of myself!  This is on a street close to where we live(d). Just a little picture of Maisie saying her goodbyes to her first home. Finally a family picture in front of the Eiffel tower! A fun shot! Another family picture… minus Justin, plus Jeff.  For some reason Jeff and I like to take family pictures together. …

Highlights from Staff Conference!

By Jen | August 20, 2007 | 11

Staff conference (now called Connect) was really great this year! Here are some little tidbits about the trip that you should know about! We stayed at an amazing hotel that had swimming pools and beautiful woods and nice rooms and good food and a spa! I didn’t get a massage though because I am still not so comfortable with a man giving me a massage and the woman at the front counter of the spa told me, “Man or Nothing!” So nothing it was. Oh well. Maybe next year. I am glad I chose nothing because another woman got the man and he had her undress in front of him and then didn’t cover her with a towel! This would have been devastating for me (even after all the nudity and exposure of having a baby in France). I had some amazing conversations with new and old friends. We work…
