Friends Are Awesome...simple as that!

Today I got together with my girlfriend Kim and her beautiful baby boy Aidan for a booster juice and some shopping. I think that we were more excited about the shopping bit though....Aidan is truly a boy through and through! It was so good to see Kim again. Life keeps us both pretty busy so it's always good when we can get a chance to get together.

Without even knowing it, Kim has this way of knowing exactly what to say and when to say it. She has been blessed with this huge heart that just pours out encouragement in all the right places! Nathan and I have been discussing the inevitable with a married couple lately about 'starting a family'. I have been a little bit discouraged about getting pregnant (being on depo previously has kind of ruined my body); not knowing if my body is back to normal, etc. And Kim just totally helped me to see the way that I should be thinking!

She said all the right things. Things that I needed to hear. It's one thing to know that it's going to happen, that God can make it possible, but it's a totally different thing to actually believe that He will have it happen! So meeting with Kim today just really helped me to get back on track to where I should be in my mindset about all of that! Not to mention it was just fun to spend some time (and money!) with her!

So I thank God for my friend Kim and her encouragement. I only hope that I can do the same for her!

Until next time....

Rushton Update


Lately Nathan and I have been keeping really busy and for some reason I don't know why!? It doesn't seem like we have been doing alot but some how we just can't keep up with things!

It hasn't helped that I've been off my feet for the past two weeks. I had foot surgery (long awaited) on the 13th of February and am supposed to be off my feet for six weeks! I laughed when I heard that. There's no way that I could stay off my feet for that long! I have way to much energy! I was off my feet for a few days, which wasn't all that bad. I stayed out at my parents house and got spoiled rotten! They were way too awesome to me while I was out there.

Nathan's busy working, trucking still. We are both patiently awaiting May to come along quickly. We are planning on working for my dad this summer. You probably are wondering why the heck we would be excited about this but really you have to understand that it's been a very long time since Nathan and I have been in the same place at once aside from weekends and holidays. It'll be nice to be home together every night! Maybe we'll get a little taste of what married life is actually supposed to be like! haha!

Things have been going very for the both of us. Especially the last few months; we've both been working really hard on our relationship and getting it to where it should be and where we want it to be. God has been so good in this and definately keeping us accountable. Awesomeness for sure!

We are both anxiously waiting for the return of Nathan's brother Jeff and his wife Ali who have been gone on a mission's trip for the past six months. It's going to be so super good to see them again!

Anyways until later take care and God bless!
