ive got a fever...

...baby fever that is.

i mean, honestly you cant really blame me for it. there is just so many!

t h r e e.

yes, i said three. three babies in three weeks. (the word three is starting to look weird and misspelled, i hate that) oh, did i mention they were all boys! it all started three weeks ago while my husband and i were sleep and got a text from his brother saying that alisa's water had broke and they were on their way to the hospital. six hours later she had truett wilber bozich. the newest addition to the bozich klan. now tommie and alisa already have the most gorgeous baby girl named liliana and we are so excited to watch their family grow.

now the next baby im going to hold very dear to my heart forever and ever because he makes my heart melt. melt i say! two of my most favorite people in the world who have helped me so so much in my life (including taking me in and caring for me for 3 years!) had their their amazing son on saturday august 22nd. might i say that mommy shannon was so brave, she was in labor for 20 hours, yes i said twenty. 13 of those hours were natural too. she amazed us all. our little leonardo vincent d'amico is perfect. when i went to go see him, the nurse gave him to me and i just held him and thought about how perfect god is. how he is so smart and creative because HE thought of this. this amazing little baby i was holding that tony and shannon had made was gods idea. his brilliant and flawless idea. it makes me so angry that people can be so silly as to believe that we evolved to do that. if you have ever seen a baby be born or have studied it, you cant deny that we have a god who loves us so much and that he made all of it possible.

the last baby came early this morning to a very patient ashley and billy j. i could not be happier for all of my friends and family that are having little buddies this year and the next. it is the year of the baby! we will be expecting 13 more babies by next february, can you believe that! now let me make this disclaimer, kenny and i are not prego. but we are waiting for that amazing day when we get a little one of our own and get to leave our legacy behind on earth through our kids. kids that will kick butt at sharing the gospel and the truth about jesus christ.

trusting in his perfect plan!

welp, im going to see leo and head to a real game. till next time.

i love ya, tomorrow.

lots has been happening in the life of me. well its more like one significant opportunity that was handed to us and due to the circumstances of the economy we took it. my husband is going to be drum teching for a band called metro station until late december. now, for those who dont know my husband used to be in touring band, the almost. he quit about a year ago when we got engaged. we both felt like this was not what God was calling him to be doing anymore and that the best place for him to be was at home with his wife and serving our church musically. we both never thought that he would go out again unless it was with our church.

welp, apparently God had a different plan. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11. im convinced. although this is defiantly a trial of patience and submission for the both of us, so much good has come out of it already. he is out there sharing the gospel with those boys and building personal relationships with them and i couldnt be more proud of him. i miss him dearly everyday but i know that if just one, just one came to know the grace and forgiveness of God and gained a personal relationship with him. all of it, every second will be worth it.

he is coming home for two weeks tomorrow and im so so excited. he leaves again at the beginning of september for pre-production for the miley cyrus tour in LA and then hes home for a hot minute after that. so far im going out on tour with them at the end of september when they come to salt lake for five days and then we are so fortunate to be spending christmas in london this year.

were both looking forward to this journey and what God has in store for us in these times of trials. so thats my little story for now, im sure ill be posting lots more, as well as stories from the road.

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

matthew 28:19

diligence overload.

diligence: noun

1- constant and earnest effort to accomplish what is undertaken: persistent exertion of body or mind.

this has been my reality for the past few days and will continue for a few more weeks. well, you see i try my hardest to always have some sort pep in my step ever since i became a wife but this time i think i over booked myself. let me just spell it out for you......we are moving. now im positive that i am in a better predicament than wives who are also mothers. may i give you all gold stars on your foreheads and a round of applause. i do not know how you all accomplish such things and still have time to look fabulous. as i was saying, i overbooked my weekend and im a little nervous about it. lets see, how about if i break down my days to come.

wednesday: take bella to summer school, work 9 am to 6 pm, pack up the car and go to new apartment, clean said new apartment and unload car, go home and pack some more, sleep.

thursday: work 9 am to 6 pm, take kenny to practice at the church, make dinner for one, more packing, more cleaning and washing my dirty dirty hair.

friday: take bella to summer school, be at church 9 am for set up for the kelly wedding which is where i will be for a good solid 12 hours, go home and crash.

saturday: pack up food and last minute things, moving party, unpack the necessities, go to church, hang out, crash.

sunday: wakey wakey eggs and bakey at 7 am, go set up shannons baby shower, shower at 11 am, clean up at 3:30 pm, take kenny to practice at the church, go to new apartment and unpack allll night looooong.

now that i look at this, im sure i just wrote all of this down for my own sanity. i apologize for the random tangent of posting my schedule smack dab in the middle of this blog.

i think i will end this by saying that this weekend, above all, i am in need of gods patience. as well as to remain meek, joyful and well rested in his arms.

"we also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need."

colossians 1:11

well than,

i wonder what one writes in a blog? especially a blog with no purpose other than writing just to write. you see, day jobs can be quite boring and well writing was once something that i held dear to my heart. perhaps the match will strike and our love will be united once again. until then i ask for your patience and hope you enjoy what your eyes can see. 

earlier today i read a quote from a mr. henry james that i came across on the internet some time ago and for no reason at all it came alive to me in a whole new way at that moment. the quote is simply this, 

"there are few things in life more agreeable

 than the ceremony of afternoon tea."

- henry james.

is that fabulous or what. you see a few years ago when i moved to salt lake a friend took me to the beehive tea house and immediately i fell in love with this darling 20's themed tea house. this is where i discovered afternoon tea and it was oh so magical. now afternoon tea is a tradition that originated in britain in 1662. it was founded when king charles II married a portuguese princess named catharine and as part of her dowry she brought with her a small chest of tea which she would serve to her friends at court. however it was not until the early 1700's that the term "afternoon tea" came to be when anna the 7th duchess of bedford experienced what she called a "sinking feeling" around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. she asked her maid to bring her a small pot of tea, bread and butter and some cake to her room. she then found thiarrangement so agreeable that she began asking her friends to join her. i would thank anna if i could.  

now im not sure about you but i personally find the olden days so fascinating. women back then were always dressed immaculately from head to toe, day by day. im sure that not every day back then was peachy but i admire their mannerisms and mostly their slowness of life. i say those ladies knew how to have a good time. i need to find the time to just hang out with my ladies and slow life down because just like our mr. henry james would say, its hard to find things more agreeable than afternoon tea.
