One thing I am so thankful for in this day and age: technology–because my hubby twittered, I was able to get updates on how he was doing since his cell didn’t have service at camp. When he was an amusement park with the teens, he twittered and sent pics on his phone to me so I could see what he was doing. I was able to send him things the kids were doing, too! I didn’t feel so cut off from him this time.

I am so glad the fall schedule and it’s busyness is ready to start because it is WAY more PREDICTABLE! Enjoy every hr you have together when the baby is sleeping before going to bed or if your others are napping. That’s how we’re making time in this crazy thing called life. Sure, I’m not getting much sleep with nursing an infant and chasing a three year old, BUT they know their Mommy loves them and if I can help to guide them to be what God has called them to be (and keep them from hating the church someday), I think all this lack of sleep will be worth it.

Our hubby’s will age some day, might even (gasp!) not always be a youth pastor and we just might get them at a normal time in the evening. By then our kids will be gone and then it will start over with grandkids, but we’ll get our sleep by then, too!:-) There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Meanwhile, I know my hubby rocks as a pastor and I’m proud to be his wife, even if I have to share him.
