"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Watch out everyone! Here he comes! Today was Nathans first day in the "real world", or at least he is getting a taste of it this summer at his internship with Flint Hills Resources. He was pretty excited this morning to start putting all of his knowledge to work out on the job. He even got up extra early to make himself a hearty breakfast and pack a lunch, well see how long that lasts.

Moving Day!

We packed up all our stuff and moved it to storage aka the Haderlie's basement, April 3rd. Of course when we woke up to a foot of fresh snow and at least 20 mile an hour winds we were a little concerned. I can even remember Nathan saying," if anyone comes and helps us move in this crazy weather we owe them at least a steak dinner." Luckily we had some really great friends and family that helped us and we were able to get it all moved in a timely manner! Only in Rexburg is it still pouring down snow in APRIL!
