We did it! And we are home! Thanks for all your prayers, it was amazing and such fun. Everything went perfect and everyone is healthy. Jeff did a great blow by blow (or push by push) recording of the day on our family blog if you are interested : maguiresblog.blogspot.com
Here we are Party of 5!!

It’s been a while since I posted last, but we have been on our family vacation. Jeff is not allowed cell phones or computers, so I had to oblige the same, its only fair.
We spent a refreshing and relaxing week with my family in San Antonio, Tx. Its not Hawaii, or Paris, its not even [...]

I just dropped my husband off at church ready for camp. Round 2 of 6 trips this summer, here we go! Being Memorial Day weekend I am finding that a lot of friends and family are going to be away as well these few days that Jeff is gone. Boo for me. So I’m ready [...]

So, I’m in Target with my kids, Molly is screaming in the cart because she wants to get out and run away. Dylan SO badly wants a Star Wars toy that he is breaking down in the middle of the underwear/bra section. I am praying for some divine intervention. But I do need to do [...]

I know we don’t know each other that well, but I know you will relate to my REAL life. My husband has been away in New York City at a conference with his other Pastor buddies. Usually I am glad that he can get away even though it is incredibly hard for me to survive [...]

My husband is very funny. When he teaches he is clever and can drive a strong point home with great humor. He really is gifted. So, whenever I get introduced as …”This is our Youth Pastor Jeff Maguire’s wife, Amanda”, it is 99.9% usually followed with this comment, “Oh, Jeff Maguire’s wife! Your husband is [...]

Along the same lines as the previous blog, I searched the “gifts” for a pastor’s wife on the same web site. Here are the top 5:
1. Dry highlighters (Seriously??)
2. A doormat that reads: “As for me and my house..”
3. A “word Keeper” bible cover
4. Shield of faith pendants
5. A garden flag that reads: [...]

No, I didn’t think this through! Had I made a pro/con list, there is a good likely hood it wouldn’t have happened (sort of sarcastic). I was in full time ministry for a few years before we got married, so I kinda knew what I was in for. We got married and someone had to [...]
