Let's try this again...
Growing up I always thought it would be so fun to have a diary. My parents bought me one complete with lock and key and it was pretty much the coolest thing ever - in my mind. I wrote in it the day that they gave it to me, then hid it under my mattress; not because I had written anything that I wanted to keep secret, just because that's what you do with a diary! Well, I'm pretty sure that's the only time that I wrote anything in it. I guess some things don't change. :) I love looking at other peoples blogs. I love the way it documents everyday life, not just for the readers but for whoever's writing as well. Today I'm going start again. *cue inspirational music*

For anyone still out there
I'm probably going to be posting more frequently on my new blog (which is tied to my photography business). I haven't advertised the site officially yet, but it's nearly done so if you're still reading this you can get a sneak peek of what it'll all be like! http://www.benbrendlephoto.com

Update
Ooops. When summer hits and the tourist season starts we really have to keep our list of "to-do's" to a minimum, and blogging isn't the highest priority... obviously. It's been a busy summer, that's for sure. We've had so much fun with everything going on at church;
-VBS (God's Big Backyard)
-Ozark Race Days: This is like a fair that we have in our town every year, and for the second year in a row Ben has been in charge of making sure the kid's area (run by church volunteers) runs smoothly.
-Leadership Retreat
-We are starting to lead a community group (small group of young adults that meets on Sunday night) along with Dallas & Heather.
Other life happenings;
-A couple months ago we had car troubles that were going to cost us $1500, and when we went to pay the bill, we discovered that someone had already paid it! What a huge surprise that was. It was such a major blessing because we had been so excited just the week before to have finally paid off all of our credit card debt.
-We've started visiting the local farmers' market every Saturday - it is so fun, we will probably post more about this later.
Atalie's growing like a weed, and going to be one year old in 8 days. My heart hurts a little to admit that. I can't believe that it's already been a year. She's crawling everywhere, and about to start walking. She know's just how to pull at Daddy's heart strings now, too. When he's putting his shoes on for work she'll crawl and make flirty eyes at him, then follow him to the door and wave. I think it almost chokes him up every time. People at work keep reminding him that it only gets worse. Soon she'll be saying, " I go work with you, Daddy?" She's our little princess, but we do our best not to let it get to her head. :)
