| Nobody reads xanga anymore. Or at least, it seems like nobody reads xanga. Everyone has facebook and myspace and forgets that xanga blogs exist. I guess that's why I don't write. I just suspect that nobody is reading. How sad.
I wanted to keep this updated a lot for my Team - aber langsam denke ich mir dass die mich alle schon vergessen haben. Naja...ich habe nicht viele Zeit gehabt um zu schreiben. . .vielleicht denke Sie dass ich sie vergessen habe. Das werde aber nie passieren.
Ach Team. Ich hab Euch alle immer noch lieb. Ich vermiss Euch voll. Ich haette weinen koennen wo ich die Bilder von Rainer's Geburtstag gesehen habe. Fast alle waren da. Ausser ein Paar... Wie geht es Euch? Gut? Ich hoffe schon.
Ihr seit mir nicht Wayne. ;)

| Hmmm......I want to write a lot soon. But not now.
Here's a picture:
4th of July pics. Jacob is just over four months old here. See our red, white, and blue?
And another:
I love. Endlich verstehe was das ueberhaupt heisst. Und zum ersten mal darf ich sagen das ich jemand liebe. Dadurch das ich jeden Tag mein Leben fuer mein Sohn gebe habe ich angefangen zu lernen was Liebe ist. Ist er nicht suess? Wie goldig. Wie lieb! Der Jacob ist mein Segen und Schatz.

| So much to say, so little desire to write it all out.
A high point...it's summer. which i didn't need to say, since you all know that already.
lucky Ariana she's been in Colorado at Summit. Geez that has made me almost sick with memories. Is there such a thing? Pleasant Memory Sickness: The state of being overwhelmed by memories, pleasant in general, with the all around result of pining for what will never come again. Cure: A nice dose of reality -> Life is not what it was, but it does not follow that life must be worse than it was.
Treasure the memories. Don't live in them or you will forget to create pleasant memories of the present time for the future.
Lucky me, I have the most delightful 41/2month old son imaginable. Some of you mentioned new photos. They're coming. I promise. Just let the 4th of July happen first, okay?

| Hey Leute!!!
Also, mir gehts zur Zeit eigentlich ganz ok. Es gibt ja immer Sachen die mir schwierig fallen...und manche Dinge muss noch geklaert werden. Leider weiss ich jetzt nicht mehr ob das ueberhaupt passieren wird. Ich kann nicht alles machen...ich kann nur mein Teil machen. Das Leben ist ein Abendteuer...manchmal macht es Spass - manchmal nicht. Ich moechte in den naechsten Wochen euere Briefe antworten. Also, ihr wisst alle ob ihr mir was geschrieben habe und wenn ja bekommt ihr auch etwas endlich zurueck. OH! und Noemi aus Ungarn: ich habe vor ein Paar Tage einen Brief von dir bekommen! Vielen Dank! Du bist total lieb und ich habe mich riesig gefreut ueber die nette Kaertchen. Du hast ja gesagt das du meine Blog lesen tust und das ich dir sagen sollte wenn ich deinen Brief bekommen hab.
Okay ich vermisse euch(die Teamlern) ganz arg...und hab euch lieb. Ich hoffe es geht euch gut!
Alright my non-German speaking friends here's an update for you -
I'm doing well these days. As usual there are bumps in the road, but my family is helping me over them and Jesus is the most faithful of friends. One of my favorite things lately is to remind myself before going to work or tackling my to-do list (which is growing faster than I can check things off it) that 'apart from Him I am nothing' but "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me from within." It's amazing how that acknowledgment can alter my mood for the day. Wouldn't it be great if I never lost sight of it? hahaha...I think we all wish we could consistently keep our priorities straight, always keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, our faces set like flint, never looking to the right or to the left. It's difficult though, isn't it? I am so easily distracted, upset by mole hills as well as mountains, and daily reminded that no, I am not done learning yet. No, I still haven't gotten the hang of everything yet. At Biblestudy today we closed up for the season with a quote about living out of the grounding of grace. That is what I want.
hmmmmm heaven will be so wonderful.
God keep all of you, my friends in the U.S., Germany, South Africa, England, Costa Rica (KAELA I LOVE YOU!), Hungary, and Austria.
Annamarie
