Luke & Cheryl Sneak Peek:)



This fun couple is expecting their first. I love seeing the anticipation and excitement in young family's eyes. So special. As you can probably tell, owls are their little girl's nursery theme. I love it! So funky. Praying for a safe delivery and sweet memories!

Sweet little Charlize is almost here:)





This great family was so fun to hang out with. They were so creative in bring great little girlie shoes and a photo of the sweet grandmother that the little girl will be named after! I loved it:) Congrats and safe delivery! Can't wait to meet her!

Road Trip Music


I love a good road trip with my best friend. We went to see his sweet family in Yuma. Had a great time catching up, seeing Sarah's new place and hearing what God is doing in Mexico from Montana's folks. Such a special time! I was hopeful on the way home that he would keep on driving to San Diego and let us go play in the beach, BUT instead we got new music to listen too and so I remained happy. So good..... especially #7.

{My sweet love}


Montana,
I am SOOOO proud of your patience and your diligence. It astounds me daily that you have this characteristic even when no one is watching. You never complained about working a job that you may or may not keep at SRP for 2 1/2 year. I would have been OVER it in a week, but you persevered. God was paying attention (as always) and in His perfect time, He provided.
Secondly, thank you for driving ALL the way to CA to pick up a piano from your folks so I could enjoy playing on a real piano rather than our old ghetto keyboard. It sure looks pretty in the living room! Thanks for enduring rain and hail to get it to me on your one day off this week. I appreciate it! I can just see our babies and us sitting around it playing songs all night. One day....

Love your sometimes "not so vocal about my appreciation for you" wife,
Aubrey

Faux Paus of Recent

Haha! I realized today that I haven't updated yall on our sweet Iraqi foreign exchange student. Montana & I can't get over how different our cultures and spiritual beliefs are. Thankfully, Tahseen is very tactful:) So for some funny moments of recent:
1- It is SO NOT OKAY to eat food from a fridge that has had beer in it. Who knew? Apparently, this contaminates their food. Some Americans eating my food might like it better with a beer. HAHA!
2-Never let your dog try to give them kisses. Apparently, all dogs have diseases whether they see a vet or not. So poor Charlie has not gotten any lovin' from him, but he has from us.
3-During Ramadan, if you travel 20miles from home- you are able to eat all day long. Moral of the story is- if you fast for church and are hungry, drive to the In and Out 20 miles away and it is okay to eat?!?!?! Interesting.
4-Apparently colorful bras are not an option in Iraq. So in taking an Iraqi to the mall, be aware that heavy staring at ALL THE BRAS will occur. Let's just say I was blushing at all the bras in EVERY store that we sell here.

More to come-
Enjoy your day:)
