Life in Nebraska ....

     We've been very busy.  I suddenly realized how much we've done in the last two months and decided to get it all on here so I would remember.  And alas, my phone or computer does not want to work with me in getting the right pictures off.  So you don't get any pictures this post.  I'm hoping one of these days Matt will have time to help me AND get some of the good ones from his phone at the same time.    So a run down:      January started with Christmas with the Burkeys.       Then a couple weeks of everyone being sick.      Zerrick and Matt got in two hockey games  before it got too warm.      A trip to Denver.  We took in the Denver Nature and Science Museum on a Thursday and explored the whole thing till we left in exhaustion.  We found it to be a splendid field trip place for our age boys.  It was a wonderful day!  If you have the chance, GO! ...

I love Birthdays.  I wish we celebrated them better in this house.  A birthday means we've been given another year!  It means we had 365 more days to live the moments God gave us.  Matt having a birthday means I got to be his wife for another year!  Every moment we have together is a gift from God.  I went back to find pictures of Matt and there just aren't any pictures of JUST Matt.  He is always helping one of the boys or holding Jeanie.  And that's Matt!  Sometimes I wish he'd stop checking weather or always and forever helping people  with something.  But when I look back at the pictures that's really just how it is.  He values people and digs in and puts energy out for everyone.   I am a very honored lady to be his wife!  It's good to stop and remember and be in awe again of God's gift to me.     He takes such good care of us in every way.  Did you know the name Matthew means God's gif...
