A little inspiration for the day

If you haven't watched my newest video clip yet, then you definitely should. (it's the middle one under the features) This guy is amazing. His name is Nick Vujicic and his ministery is called "Life Without Limbs". His story is an incredible example of the fact that when we are weak, He is strong. It's also a good reminder that our lives really aren't that challenging compared to so many others! There are a lot of other good clips online of some of Nick's talks around the world, so you should check them out too.

**note to Ann: this is the video I was warning you about. I promise I did not put this on here just to freak you out. :) if you can overcome your phobia, I think you'd like it.

Back Yard Chaos

As promised...another fun project. Luke Schafer graciously agreed to help jackhammer the ugly cement pad that we have been hoping to remove. It turned out to be a little bit more of a challenge than we had bargained for. This cement was about 8 inches thick (Not including the layer of rock on the bottom) and I'm pretty sure that it could have survived a nuclear bomb. Of course it was no match for the combined powers of Luke and Bryan. The video and pictures don't really capture the pain and torment that these studs went through, but maybe it will give you an idea. I also wanted you guys to see what our back yard currently looks like. It's nice...it's kind of like our own little rock garden.:) Noah and Adrian are having fun climbing around on it, and I think a family of chipmunks has decided to use it for some kind of fortress. Our next challenge: disposing of the mountain of rubble.
