Being new to the labor game, little did I know that when I woke up at around 2:30, thinking I just couldn't sleep I was in labor and having contractions. I felt them in the front and the back and they were so erratic I just did not think they were true contractions. We decided to head to the hospital just to see if labor was a possibility. I warned Matt that they would probably send us home. On the way there I begin experiencing pain every few minutes. We started to wonder if these pains were indeed contractions. :) We checked in at the emergency room, where my dear friend Kristin was actually working one of her last shifts as a Labor and Delivery Nurse, and I was soon told that yes, I was dilated and in labor! Everything seemed to shift into high gear after that. My water broke (sorry for too much information) and I begin to have contractions every minute and a half. My blood pressure was also high. They transferred me from Triage into a Delivery Room and soon (not soon enough :)) I received the epidural. Side note-I know that because of what happened in the garden that women are to experience pain in childbirth but I also know that God gives us all talents and gifts and someone out there used their talents to invent the epidural and for that I am thankful! Sawyer's heart rate was dropping a bit and so they had me shift from one side, then to another and back to see if it would regulate. It would not. It continued to drop. Although calm, I could sense the urgency in Kristin's voice as she determined the next course of action. It was soon decided that a C-Section was necessary. It all happened so fast! Soon, little Sawyer made his debut! Matt headed over with the nurses to check him out. Our little one was not doing so well. After working on him for a little while in the OR, they transported him upstairs to the NICU. The Doctor brought him over to me on the way out. That was a moment I will never forget, seeing my baby's face for the first time. We soon found out that we had a sick little boy on our hands and that he would need to stay in the NICU. It was later determined that Sawyer had aspirated a good amount of meconium and had an infection in his lungs. He stayed in the NICU for 11 days. Those days were both the hardest and the sweetest of my life (I would venture to say they were for Matt as well). It was so hard to see our sweet boy connected to all these wires and tubes. I had always dreamed of holding my baby in the delivery room, people we love coming to see him. In the NICU only parents and grandparents were allowed (of which we were very thankful). However, it was all the more sweet when we were able to hold him on the third day. Definitely, one of the sweetest moments of my life. It was also such an incredible time with Lord. We HAD to lean on HIM for our strength and it was a lesson I will not soon forget. Today, he is seven weeks old! He is truly a great baby and we are just loving life as a family of three. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZZzA5CBVXlDf1vcaj45LfGnjM1Uv_wKoCMOB8rEb2xq2GbDEV05vCgri7dd4IC7JSf982FkIo82guQiVsiUqoqCaS09oJ7sgNAdOJlbzNEiHm938riXoW6sHVzEkhma7xZp7WSgFaBxbG/s1600/IMG_0363.JPG" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZZzA5CBVXlDf1vcaj45LfGnjM1Uv_wKoCMOB8rEb2xq2GbDEV05vCgri7dd4IC7JSf982FkIo82guQiVsiUqoqCaS09oJ7sgNAdOJlbzNEiHm938riXoW6sHVzEkhma7xZp7WSgFaBxbG/s320/IMG_0363.JPG" /></a></div><br />

Today begins our last week in Green Bay! We are thrilled to be headed back to Arkansas and our dear family and friends. We absolutely cannot wait to begin this next chapter in our lives. But...we are so sad to leave. Green Bay has meant so many things to us. It was where we began our lives together as a married couple, where we made our first friends together as a family, where we found our own church, where we discovered our love for all things local-the farmer's market, coffee, chocolate, beer, wine, brats, cheese (WISCONSIN sure knows how to make their own stuff). Our cup runneth over. Thank you, Lord for bringing us to this place. You REALLY do know what you are doing (why oh why do we ever doubt your love and faithfulness?)!<br />

June. That was my last post. I do not even feel worthy to blog today but I decided to give it a try. So much has happened. We took a trip to Upper Michigan with dear friends. Matt's parents came to visit. My parents came to visit. Erin and Matt came to visit. We went to our first Packer Game! We found out we are moving back to Arkansas! And...we found out we are expecting! All these things sure would have made for some great blog posts but I digress.... :) And so today begins my journey into the blogosphere once again.

The title of the background is called Bathing Beauty. Though Bathing Beauty I am not these days (too many brats here in Wisconsin I guess), I am still looking forward (though my body feels otherwise) to spending a week in the sand and sun! Seriously, Matt and I are just looking soooo forward to spending time with the Shelby Family (with a side trip to Auburn to see my sister Julie and Brother In Law Jason) and relaxing for the week! We are so excited!Matt and Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01555115166450987405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323691516941678751.post-66097976028752801942010-06-16T19:30:00.000-07:002010-06-16T20:04:35.425-07:00Beautiful MomentsOn Sunday, our Pastor at Community talked about what he called beautiful moments. His sweet Mother-In-Law was gravely ill and so he and his family had been spending their final moments with her. Beautiful moments. Recalling moments past. Savoring the present. This made me think on my life and all of the beautiful moments that I have experienced. God is good. He is ALWAYS faithful. In the good and the bad, in the easy and the hard. Below are just a FEW beautiful moments that I have experienced recently. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTYCsphugbNAd4o8dxFZw2wfbn4yV4mBF8FzQYYankSejgpQuzN134eQgwlKxdxrvXpnGA3aUpIvpvJLg6FY_tsrFJbnTNiRdIYOq8wbt3ikWGkQpFi4AEcmsHfdxP0Wyr27iABqLHytIr/s1600/pic+one.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTYCsphugbNAd4o8dxFZw2wfbn4yV4mBF8FzQYYankSejgpQuzN134eQgwlKxdxrvXpnGA3aUpIvpvJLg6FY_tsrFJbnTNiRdIYOq8wbt3ikWGkQpFi4AEcmsHfdxP0Wyr27iABqLHytIr/s320/pic+one.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483569272832218658" /></a><br />Julie, Kristen and Matt-Sweet Camp Ozark friends that visited us in "the bay."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaaJLH9mZrsIGFuNOa9BleUgQWhUenfP5xEePtQ_XGxFOSCs1_DqWmUgqg_xfVIPgzQM4kQ2pnGPD8eyrY0gyAboXmCC8qe3kyRH10IyDS5yeEV8TFSTLjEImtCAn4qeUw2cS-yGrZxVOY/s1600/pic+two.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaaJLH9mZrsIGFuNOa9BleUgQWhUenfP5xEePtQ_XGxFOSCs1_DqWmUgqg_xfVIPgzQM4kQ2pnGPD8eyrY0gyAboXmCC8qe3kyRH10IyDS5yeEV8TFSTLjEImtCAn4qeUw2cS-yGrZxVOY/s320/pic+two.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483569278837163234" /></a><br />Make new friends but keep the old...sweet, sweet college friends.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlSV3TxovwaKFqOiB0QiPNsjXQlxgDoO9oVEavjtQpXOTgteoWYklohWuTbatdGYax7mPhVVVAqxi9Dk75-grQuSEw2v8Y__LXJkvbP6N1XEUUNgzwju_v01m-DutomjL8UzyqdghhKLVK/s1600/P6060230.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlSV3TxovwaKFqOiB0QiPNsjXQlxgDoO9oVEavjtQpXOTgteoWYklohWuTbatdGYax7mPhVVVAqxi9Dk75-grQuSEw2v8Y__LXJkvbP6N1XEUUNgzwju_v01m-DutomjL8UzyqdghhKLVK/s320/P6060230.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483569285850161842" /></a><br />My sister, Julie and my Brother-In-Law Jason with our sweet nephews Ben and Drew (Julie and Jason are pregnant with their first!

Description: Let's put our feet to our faith and walk ourselves out into the community to serve the way Jesus did. FtyF is a catalyst for families, individuals, and life groups to be inspired to continue serving in the community throughout the year. This big event allows you to build relationships, serve, and love our community the way that Jesus does.<br /><br />Yesterday, Matt and I participated in Feet to your Faith at the Kingdom Come Food Pantry in Oconto Falls, Wisconsin. We spent time raking, re-organizing and re-stocking. We shared a meal with volunteers, heard incredible stories of the work the Lord is doing there and built relationships with one another. It was a great day! Our friends, Annie and Brian and Nicole and Andy were also there, which made it that much greater! Afterwards, we spent the evening with them, attending the potluck and celebration at Church for Feet to Your Faith and then onto the Bay Port High School production of Disco Inferno. All in all, a wonderful day encountering an incredible ministry, being able to serve and spending time with sweet friends. Our cup runneth over. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikGixwJrgxMCaQti8t-uSD6DyRTpzaDdy7f6sZt2jEqrc7_32_xV838HnMQOcnvHaecLPnZdeJt38p9DsISyXaCaelkesKJD7P0tlmFLc5Mmsw48WjPV9eXzdzpcJmxE9F4K8OeL3wfZIU/s1600/P4230191.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikGixwJrgxMCaQti8t-uSD6DyRTpzaDdy7f6sZt2jEqrc7_32_xV838HnMQOcnvHaecLPnZdeJt38p9DsISyXaCaelkesKJD7P0tlmFLc5Mmsw48WjPV9eXzdzpcJmxE9F4K8OeL3wfZIU/s320/P4230191.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464157605687008114" /></a><br />Little Matt Riding Hood<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbd0lr-4qlcdFpp-47SHhZPxNrvJ_vW45E-SZ9fqz9qAyi7qQYeHTiYoCgLyBtuRgxjoWCKWAGlYBGcb0Cx6Rzvs1XbKaj4BpvHB48H2bTy347PwTuhUVPZMxrPwTED3JOmJr0-lrl2gsl/s1600/P4230190.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbd0lr-4qlcdFpp-47SHhZPxNrvJ_vW45E-SZ9fqz9qAyi7qQYeHTiYoCgLyBtuRgxjoWCKWAGlYBGcb0Cx6Rzvs1XbKaj4BpvHB48H2bTy347PwTuhUVPZMxrPwTED3JOmJr0-lrl2gsl/s320/P4230190.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464154760498344754" /></a><br />Matt, Me, Brian, Annie, Nicole and Andy<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzr3Ssxjx7q60Fjf4ptTMVac0ZbPBj772xk2QFM5AtyN823CWPZ_VeJYOny672VZw7E0uSQi5oJS2_ID-ehCDns5oPaptfr25i0n1CRrz7E1FrymuHUM3dHmbQfCv2rXdLtWSDiXlH-ud_/s1600/P4230185.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzr3Ssxjx7q60Fjf4ptTMVac0ZbPBj772xk2QFM5AtyN823CWPZ_VeJYOny672VZw7E0uSQi5oJS2_ID-ehCDns5oPaptfr25i0n1CRrz7E1FrymuHUM3dHmbQfCv2rXdLtWSDiXlH-ud_/s320/P4230185.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464154431876870306" /></a><br />The Shelves that we re-organized and re-stocked.Matt and Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01555115166450987405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323691516941678751.post-79903049738472896952010-04-22T19:42:00.000-07:002010-04-22T20:03:03.139-07:00Quotes from CorrieJust a few inspirational quotes from Corrie Ten Boom, Holocaust Survivor, Missionary and a personal hero of mine. If you have not done so already, put The Hiding Place on your list of MUST READ BOOKS. This book and the book Same Kind Of Different As Me are truly my favorite books of all time, fact or fiction. <br /><br />To read more about Corrie Ten Boom, go to www.corrietenboom.com<br /><br />"Hold everything in your hands lightly, otherwise it hurts when God pries your fingers open." <br />— Corrie Ten Boom<br /><br />"If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. If you look at God you'll be at rest." <br />— Corrie Ten Boom<br /><br />"This is what the past is for! Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see." <br />— Corrie Ten Boom (The Hiding Place)<br /><br />"There are no 'if's' in God's world. And no placess that are safer than other places. The center of His will is our only safety - let us pray that we may always know it!" <br />— Corrie Ten Boom (The Hiding Place)<br /><br />"Dear Jesus...how foolish of me to have called for human help when You are here." <br />— Corrie Ten Boom (The Hiding Place)<br /><br />"If God has shown us bad times ahead, it's enough for me that He knows about them. That's why He sometimes shows us things, you know - to tell us that this too is in His hands." <br />— Corrie Ten Boom (The Hiding Place)<br /><br />"You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have." <br />— Corrie Ten BoomMatt and Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01555115166450987405noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323691516941678751.post-89874193748551806602010-04-01T19:07:00.000-07:002010-04-01T19:19:56.464-07:00Good HAIR Day!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixKIoYBcBBMEPU4iYoB94tP6FcBNy9WOnZ7N3Ri4eYq6cM9ROBD7-CprwZRLudXQ41nSeTYM9TiZsZvWFyBf7arxF2UeBYnz5u3CeI-GNz5Jj7_1nKQ2ieqg7ghOeohP9Np-dD0aUNZBOg/s1600/P3270182.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixKIoYBcBBMEPU4iYoB94tP6FcBNy9WOnZ7N3Ri4eYq6cM9ROBD7-CprwZRLudXQ41nSeTYM9TiZsZvWFyBf7arxF2UeBYnz5u3CeI-GNz5Jj7_1nKQ2ieqg7ghOeohP9Np-dD0aUNZBOg/s320/P3270182.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455359172224574834" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjP8F8_ElFxytfcJrXMqiUuUSAhO1EGKs2gTVjxfF4RiGPVA4RUDcARHHWzAe7ouBWQ-aNr5dv477lQuLaTZcALpUieoUolmR5XI12MjhXHvQHCODJ65kU9BgCoYdeFL7GG4ZftHFmFRCW/s1600/P3270181.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjP8F8_ElFxytfcJrXMqiUuUSAhO1EGKs2gTVjxfF4RiGPVA4RUDcARHHWzAe7ouBWQ-aNr5dv477lQuLaTZcALpUieoUolmR5XI12MjhXHvQHCODJ65kU9BgCoYdeFL7GG4ZftHFmFRCW/s320/P3270181.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455359166013098146" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMBnOVvC5wT7i7t4l-Yekrg1z0QaF5ay_di87zKdGmrZdWRsOPca-DfY3eLupIxNKKwEVdLgXhs15cyUwi0fZgNgoWuhkpCrgqFpf4SRe1X4cRJ7PolNPnCMonlbSFdGtwpAl-Xyf-1JgH/s1600/P3270179.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMBnOVvC5wT7i7t4l-Yekrg1z0QaF5ay_di87zKdGmrZdWRsOPca-DfY3eLupIxNKKwEVdLgXhs15cyUwi0fZgNgoWuhkpCrgqFpf4SRe1X4cRJ7PolNPnCMonlbSFdGtwpAl-Xyf-1JgH/s320/P3270179.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455359154524863634" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxUlQhdhb1C53K9kWtaj3fx59k6QHbmKhchag21zXjkdZtDNVhWK-gjqjmw1fwAlZ4Ww2vlbif-8Wsr52IenBltZ78vJB95L-U14AQOAmaCzD0ZLlywAsqVsC52lgp7G8hk-j2uA3NgfVK/s1600/P3270178.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxUlQhdhb1C53K9kWtaj3fx59k6QHbmKhchag21zXjkdZtDNVhWK-gjqjmw1fwAlZ4Ww2vlbif-8Wsr52IenBltZ78vJB95L-U14AQOAmaCzD0ZLlywAsqVsC52lgp7G8hk-j2uA3NgfVK/s320/P3270178.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455359145233016658" /></a><br />Last weekend, I headed to Chicago with the girls from Haven Salon and Spa (where I work) to the Midwest Hair/Face/Body Show. My friend Michelle and I headed down early to hit the outlet mall in Kenosha, not too far outside of Chicago. Afterwards, we headed on to Chi-town and checked in at the W Hotel (thank you to Liza for making reservations at such a neat hotel) and then out to dinner at Quartino. Sunday was the the BIG SHOW downtown and it was incredible. So many people, vendors and product. It was an experience! We had a great time and I am so glad I went.

We have experienced more in this past year than I could ever put into proper words. Our first year of marriage, life in a new city with new jobs, new Church, new friends, new everything! A few favorites from this past year are our trip to Chicago (first Cubs game), our numerous visits to Door County, Green Bay Packer tailgates and our most recent trip to Milwaukee to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. We are the best of friends, just enjoying this season of our lives and longing for home at the same time.

It is hard to believe that just one year ago, Matt and I were standing before the Lord and our family and friends getting MARRIED!

We have been raising money all week for the American Heart Association and Go Red For Women, their cause with the goal to raise awareness that Heart Disease is the #1 threat to women. A fact most women still do not realize. This is a cause dear to me for two reasons....it was just a year ago this month that I left the American Heart Association, to move to Green Bay after almost six years of working there as a Corporate Market Director. I have so many fond memories of my time with the AHA and I am proud to have been a part of a great organization. <br />Participating in Wear Red Day was like coming full circle. I used to encourage companies to participate, now I am one of those participating companies! The other reason this cause is dear to me is because of sweet Kaela (the last picture is of she and I at Haven's Annual Holiday Ball last weekend). Kaela is this amazing girl I work with at Haven. Kaela suffered a stroke last year and just last fall had surgery to repair a hole in here heart. She is not even 21 years old! She is now a local spokesperson for the AHA, sharing her story and rallying for the cause of Go Red For Women! She is precious. GO RED FOR WOMEN!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQevt3yvqmDVfDOLgAhxXhaTlZ8bhpA6FKjdNI-pjUYql_ibdOks7pUPkMUJBaFTJgflGCSGU37HpKTqlySG58eJxsye9etVx1CbR15043z2lO__-vLhFSt2WYvkpAZ9miXldjzTmdx0jz/s1600-h/photo+1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

CHECK. Flood Warning. CHECK. Tornado Warning. CHECK. Blizzard Warning. Wait...never been under one of those kind of warnings before! Last week, parts of Wisconsin were hit with one of the worst Winter Storms in 15 years. A Blizzard, in fact. De Pere, the town where Matt and I live, recorded over 14 inches of snow! Matt and I were ready to head to the local Wal-Mart, stock up on Rotel, Velveeta and Brownie mix and hole up in our apartment for a few days. But...that is not how they do it here in "the bay." Matt and I actually worked on the worst day of the Blizzard! Needless to say, last week was an EXPERIENCE for us both. Here are just a few pictures of the biggest snowstorm WE have ever been in (the last one is from the Green Bay Gamblers Hockey game that we went to on Saturday night)!

And you thought you were settling in to hear about the origins of the first Thanksgiving. :) Actually, today was our first Thanksgiving to celebrate as a married couple! We were unable to travel home ( a decision not easily made since THIS girl has never spent a Thanksgiving anywhere else but Arkansas) but we made the absolute BEST of it and even started some Thanksgiving traditions of our own. We started the day at Lambeau Field (home of the Green Bay Packers). Each year, the Ecumenical Ministry of Green Bay serves a HUGE Thanksgiving dinner to the elderly and less fortunate. It was a wonderful sight to see. The guests were ushered upstairs to a worship service beforehand and then brought back downstairs to enjoy lunch. Each table was formally set and had its own attendant to serve the Thanksgiving meal. There were phones set up for people to call their loved ones. It was just really special. Matt and I were greeters. We said, "Hi Ya'll" to everyone who walked in. Afterwards, we headed home to prepare our lunch! Not really knowing how to scale down the recipes to be for two, we had a 13x9 of Sweet Potato Casserole AND Dressing! We were able to find a "cute" three pound turkey at the store and so not much leftover there. Other than that, we have leftovers to last us awhile. For dessert, we enjoyed a yummy homeade Cheesecake! It was a wonderful day, full of phone calls from family and friends and much to be thankful for. What a wonderful holiday...a day solely for giving thanks for our blessings. And there are so many. Praying your day was wonderful as well and that WE are thankful today, for YOU!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwvHew8Q4rTWviIeqsxqa2QbcCgqDY9kBESCxvAUC7o1we1jWnxmXVHxb34-7VB0MvXF-rA69NFVl3jGO7BhwS_9qlwjFiZ7We4C-fRF2CTsHsGj-5NOIsdGZKX0yrHFDWI6XITZaO_dMh/s1600/photo+1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwvHew8Q4rTWviIeqsxqa2QbcCgqDY9kBESCxvAUC7o1we1jWnxmXVHxb34-7VB0MvXF-rA69NFVl3jGO7BhwS_9qlwjFiZ7We4C-fRF2CTsHsGj-5NOIsdGZKX0yrHFDWI6XITZaO_dMh/s320/photo+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408622572710465218" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2461zRX3s4OVgon0VQk9b8II1ebskSGl5FGqQFA152T3wB7ZKGgDP2b4cZotDm15OchnoZC8HMemx0NwMtWMkHzn4yEmqycZeE-tbSty0D-cw8ICmZFVVD6BKqpX9t9fQge9PyCImpyfn/s1600/photo+2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2461zRX3s4OVgon0VQk9b8II1ebskSGl5FGqQFA152T3wB7ZKGgDP2b4cZotDm15OchnoZC8HMemx0NwMtWMkHzn4yEmqycZeE-tbSty0D-cw8ICmZFVVD6BKqpX9t9fQge9PyCImpyfn/s320/photo+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408622565073046498" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWqfnZvbT8MpAZPxEJ2e2kqjKdrwJ2xPB0PcRALSSrBly8dXzzbsYJQ9btQFdE-lh5FRdmAJT6bn2fAmwtalHXD9Q5LUraoy5dSN3b9F6cbYl0-k6J8RwINO3Llk8q18sJNME97mrRMoXV/s1600/photo+3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWqfnZvbT8MpAZPxEJ2e2kqjKdrwJ2xPB0PcRALSSrBly8dXzzbsYJQ9btQFdE-lh5FRdmAJT6bn2fAmwtalHXD9Q5LUraoy5dSN3b9F6cbYl0-k6J8RwINO3Llk8q18sJNME97mrRMoXV/s320/photo+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408622559169317186" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUjODi54DE5lL-VdP4Nk4uAF_3_f1lX1dFREoV_nocPq-HQs1g0FzqiRELPEzs3RwtRt-sXBqYgWgvSKioohlgEWineHNtIfoBzAjWDGboWWy8QtPsF4ejhIXdIKbz7TP3yV2mgWnw5tJE/s1600/photo+4.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUjODi54DE5lL-VdP4Nk4uAF_3_f1lX1dFREoV_nocPq-HQs1g0FzqiRELPEzs3RwtRt-sXBqYgWgvSKioohlgEWineHNtIfoBzAjWDGboWWy8QtPsF4ejhIXdIKbz7TP3yV2mgWnw5tJE/s320/photo+4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408622555400711970" /></a>Matt and Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01555115166450987405noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323691516941678751.post-75469246631556639032009-11-18T18:59:00.000-08:002009-11-18T19:04:21.357-08:00Hannah Grace CrumbyMy heart is burdened for a little girl in Arkansas tonight.

I never thought I could love a team like I love the Arkansas Razorbacks but I am quickly becoming a bigger Packer fan all the time. Packer fans are similar to Razorback fans in their devotion to their team but the similarities pretty much end there. Matt and I have had the priviledge of attending three Packer tailgates this season. Our sweet friends Michelle and Rob invited us to join them at their tailgates before the Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys games. While there we saw everything from folks decked out in green and gold overalls, cheeseheads, cheese ties and cheese bras to bagpipers and five man bands mingling through the crowds. And people are not just enjoying burgers and hot dogs. Brats are a STAPLE at any Packer tailgate. We hope to attend a game or two next season, as there is a raffle each year for tickets for residents of Brown County (Green Bay and surrounding areas). Go Pack Go! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOWzlqt6eELSy27g3MxwH36CyD72Qzqs2y1l4aNiEzj8WrEGmTYYIx7TdbfSNrQ8oCA5Mv4GyAZh2JQiWyCyhXAgOnRLkPz3GWT9QPViO6n0XjPOS463o165aIPXv9ojp4OsAU_HnQYa37/s1600/DSC_0595.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOWzlqt6eELSy27g3MxwH36CyD72Qzqs2y1l4aNiEzj8WrEGmTYYIx7TdbfSNrQ8oCA5Mv4GyAZh2JQiWyCyhXAgOnRLkPz3GWT9QPViO6n0XjPOS463o165aIPXv9ojp4OsAU_HnQYa37/s320/DSC_0595.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405207158817161986" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTKRwR-yN4tJSaWl00PZeRzA40otyOd9ljXliKSoVRO9-894OQpsv6U-zAjS6gNX6YBFQDTi8Hh36oxe8GUKEAFyxVobpDasV54R9LfnUlOMfEfKnECT2aFJuSkS4kBGFum29X3KapcYD_/s1600/DSC_0594.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTKRwR-yN4tJSaWl00PZeRzA40otyOd9ljXliKSoVRO9-894OQpsv6U-zAjS6gNX6YBFQDTi8Hh36oxe8GUKEAFyxVobpDasV54R9LfnUlOMfEfKnECT2aFJuSkS4kBGFum29X3KapcYD_/s320/DSC_0594.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405207143526043346" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9qbu5mO5OjxqLB_kU6ga7K-TcrxZztAhn-X2UKWO9-BzZZTMNBm5roWHdAa8f_5DTWWKEuuVRMi5NoXCgF_AuixMtMUVFFyS0WVFNZR7PUzaeUUY8qLLW5xjnwTfMqebajpWFSRlSv0Mm/s1600/DSC_0592.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9qbu5mO5OjxqLB_kU6ga7K-TcrxZztAhn-X2UKWO9-BzZZTMNBm5roWHdAa8f_5DTWWKEuuVRMi5NoXCgF_AuixMtMUVFFyS0WVFNZR7PUzaeUUY8qLLW5xjnwTfMqebajpWFSRlSv0Mm/s320/DSC_0592.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405207141909683762" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg20-qZEu8oRlBo8htRu9wkvUY2kTpUZQ5JLu2HtDyeRZjM3_wKNapYqpw19-BB53FirG86Czr1FE_v-YcyXDPd-aKE1oTwqhsNmzzzKTqYHR7HKceG3ua0EsnCMsMs6gvoTJiZDUGmQqjq/s1600/DSC_0582.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg20-qZEu8oRlBo8htRu9wkvUY2kTpUZQ5JLu2HtDyeRZjM3_wKNapYqpw19-BB53FirG86Czr1FE_v-YcyXDPd-aKE1oTwqhsNmzzzKTqYHR7HKceG3ua0EsnCMsMs6gvoTJiZDUGmQqjq/s320/DSC_0582.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405207130740114482" /></a>Matt and Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01555115166450987405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323691516941678751.post-64442228042653342892009-10-24T09:58:00.000-07:002009-10-24T10:07:57.312-07:00SLOPPY MATT'S<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRowhuR6g68ptcJ-ZfBHY_MgLxlkt7wsYCPMpyiCkJVfic6lKmzUBo9j5oTviNdJpSDPN1Dnv9FxvHZ6ZjOQ7RNkENMX09LF8qGQ236bLgEvf9udca8kXhq5N7MPNvBeouYOR4O6tTp4rS/s1600-h/photo.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRowhuR6g68ptcJ-ZfBHY_MgLxlkt7wsYCPMpyiCkJVfic6lKmzUBo9j5oTviNdJpSDPN1Dnv9FxvHZ6ZjOQ7RNkENMX09LF8qGQ236bLgEvf9udca8kXhq5N7MPNvBeouYOR4O6tTp4rS/s320/photo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396214390082634274" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhluaYvmm4Lo_IEqbCXuOnJo7Wwrkua-oo9Jjwq2KpIN3gy67_kNjNpWdj2FSw5trbauO04IvNSXAp_955D8BeqAq2q17c6PPwZJi48Y1I3dK_uQTNLLCZYG4N_HUSQWkyKDTY95-YP4C-h/s1600-h/photo+3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhluaYvmm4Lo_IEqbCXuOnJo7Wwrkua-oo9Jjwq2KpIN3gy67_kNjNpWdj2FSw5trbauO04IvNSXAp_955D8BeqAq2q17c6PPwZJi48Y1I3dK_uQTNLLCZYG4N_HUSQWkyKDTY95-YP4C-h/s320/photo+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396214379610465426" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAL2ygGz2wdcSrNBsv2CxBRJtEjtCWXN8TEDNXBBPzo6wO1NYVM0iDBSEz1CYg0-Gdt2jiCqqunM2gFikbUBqtQ4BHgZ3TPYpJgh5JwQ2BUXgUtFChJBKMawZV75G01QnBDfLQI6fvMq-e/s1600-h/photo+2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAL2ygGz2wdcSrNBsv2CxBRJtEjtCWXN8TEDNXBBPzo6wO1NYVM0iDBSEz1CYg0-Gdt2jiCqqunM2gFikbUBqtQ4BHgZ3TPYpJgh5JwQ2BUXgUtFChJBKMawZV75G01QnBDfLQI6fvMq-e/s320/photo+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396214374622769266" /></a><br />Last night, Matt and I made what I like to call, SLOPPY MATT'S! We had both recently expressed a desire to make some SLOPPY JOE'S and so last night we headed to the store, grabbed some Turkey Meat (in an effort to be a tiny bit healthier), a SLOPPY JOE Packet and Diced Tomatoes (in lieu of Tomato Paste-which we don't particularly like) and last BUT certainly not least, some buns. These are not just your ordinary buns, these are Green and Yellow, Green Bay Packer Buns! On game weekends, the store is full of Green and Yellow---Hamburger Buns, Hot Dog Buns, Cookies, Cakes-you name it! Anyway, I just had to post on our yummy dinner last night and the ever so unique buns on which our SLOPPY MATT"S were consumed.

Football (Go Hogs! Go Packers!), Sweatshirts, Chili, Fayetteville, Thanksgiving (Cherry Cheesecake), the Pumpkin Patch at Vanzant Fruit Farms, preparing for the Christmas season, Caramel Apples, Spiced Tea<br /> <br />I have been looking forward to THIS Fall in particular---our first in Green Bay, our first as a married couple, the cooler weather coming on quicker. I could not wait to decorate our home for the "Harvest." And, to top it off, we just spent the day making Chili in the crockpot, watching the Razorbacks, enjoying a Caramel Apple and now, a fire in the fireplace and a cinnamon/apple candle burning.

The streets are lined with vendors selling their wares from cucumbers to kohlrabi, from beef jerky to doggie treats, from honey to freshly baked cake, from earrings to recyclable bags. We had a blast walking up and down Broadway, purchasing cucumbers, jalapeno peppers, sugar snap peas, tomatoes, key lime rum cake and flowers. Before we headed home, we grabbed some food from among the many restaurants represented. It was a wonderful night! <br />Check out their great website at www.farmersmarketonbroadway.com!Matt and Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01555115166450987405noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323691516941678751.post-1645366614404397362009-07-19T10:36:00.000-07:002009-07-19T11:32:46.070-07:00Hear HIS Breath.Today's service at Green Bay Community Church was all about the word of God. How the Holy Spirit spoke to the prophets and writers of the books of the Bible. How strong and true the word of the Lord was and is. Near the end of the service, the pastor called on the audience to share scripture. It was a powerful time. After each scripture the congregation responded with Hear HIS Breath. One in particular that stood out to me was Psalm 73: 25-26. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. I want to invite you to post the scripture that is on your heart today. The best encouragement and strength for each day is the word of God. Hear HIS Breath.Matt and Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01555115166450987405noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323691516941678751.post-36064866219252878002009-07-06T18:04:00.000-07:002009-07-06T18:16:38.295-07:00Saturday In The Park, I think it was the Fourth of July....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM4jT6inJRzsAEc2In7-62o7S0TC6WFaqr_bL-sDfUtr-1IScmaebZln8cSRKNmrDlMlVU6oWnOzkm7YVknaWWNQL1tRKEPzqhow7WOvJcgHfwuQP2n4p47565X0oPky2C7bnXGx44dVIk/s1600-h/DSC_0477.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM4jT6inJRzsAEc2In7-62o7S0TC6WFaqr_bL-sDfUtr-1IScmaebZln8cSRKNmrDlMlVU6oWnOzkm7YVknaWWNQL1tRKEPzqhow7WOvJcgHfwuQP2n4p47565X0oPky2C7bnXGx44dVIk/s320/DSC_0477.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355520957967445394" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOWKN1IrdLpAxQjVNM0kEK5SCFCNFaRCcGDByesELH2GbuEN3vI77QKynLsLBqm1Wyg8ca_6QQEXBhoVWJZnctaUWEtZkt7mMfbVEUUWp1ZoSgzmXdTCANKbiNWvKIdlizLmhvkhJlvceD/s1600-h/DSC_0469.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOWKN1IrdLpAxQjVNM0kEK5SCFCNFaRCcGDByesELH2GbuEN3vI77QKynLsLBqm1Wyg8ca_6QQEXBhoVWJZnctaUWEtZkt7mMfbVEUUWp1ZoSgzmXdTCANKbiNWvKIdlizLmhvkhJlvceD/s320/DSC_0469.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355520942874189202" /></a><br />One of the wonderful things about living where we do is how close we are to SO many places! The Twin Cities, Upper Michigan, Canada, Milwaukee, Chicago... Did I mention CHICAGO? Matt and I spent the Fourth Of July weekend in Chicago! We headed on down to the Windy City on Friday evening and spent the weekend eating at wonderful places and best of all, cheering on the Cubs at Wrigley Field. I mean, can you get more American than spending the Fourth of July watching America's favorite past time and eating a Chicago Style Hot Dog? I DON'T THINK SO! And, Saturday night, we walked down to Navy Pier and watched the fireworks! It was truly a great weekend.Matt and Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01555115166450987405noreply@blogger.com4
