"Give us Rest" - DC*B

This week was a quick one for me. Or it could be that I posted already once this week, so that kind of makes it feel like it has gone faster than what it did.

This week was a pretty good one for us, minus that first day... Monday... eh, not the best, but we were blessed to see Tuesday. Which leads me to "Give us Rest" the latest, and LAST album released by the David Crowder Band. these. guys. are. phenomenal. In all aspects of the word!!! Phenomenal song writers, phenomenal people, phenomenal musicians... phenomenal! Whether Christian be your taste of music or not, they meet the needs of those who Love God, those who need God, and those who do not know of God, but just want to listen to good music (which of course you can love God or Need go and still love good music) :).

Matt and I started attending UBC (University Baptist Church - Home of the DC*B) in 2003. At this particular time we were not attending there each Sunday. Matt and I both were still in Stephenville, and the 1.5 commute each Sunday was tricky. Then that summer (of 2003) we left there to work at a Summer Camp in Ingram, TX (just beside Kerville) so that summer we were not there either. The following school year we began attending pretty regularly. In 2005 we were married there at the church, lived in Waco and were proud to be UBCers. :) Being blessed in a way to have an ultimate worship service each Sunday that the guys were there was amazing, the fill in band was amazingly awesome as well. It was wonderful to grow with these guys and their music throughout the years! As a church, UBC faced birth, death, life, happiness and sadness. Facing these trials with such men of God was a time that Matt and I will never forget!! We welcomed Mason into that church (at just 12 days old was his first day) :), we dedicated Mason to that church, and enjoyed being able to be a part of it!

In 2006 we moved from Waco back to the home I was raised in, and continued attending UBC. Then 2008 we moved to the house we live in now, and at that point for financial reasons at the time were not able to make the drive each Sunday. Believe me when I tell you WE MISSED IT! We still miss it.

When the band made the announcement that they would be putting out their last album, and taking part in their last tour I was heart broken. Then when thinking about the wives, and now children that were being born into the band, the broken heart was happy! :) These guys have been making music for over 10 years now. 10 years ago they were college students, even still in High School for one I think... who knew then what they would be now! I know David didn't and he speaks of that. Now however, with children and wives being home a majority of the year without them, they have decided to come to an end. I am so excited for their wives and for the little babies! What a joy to have them back! I am sure a mix of emotions for them all!

Wow!! Well, it has been a wonderful run for them, and I am glad to see it in on such a positive Album! I will cherish it for sure! --- Now If I could just get a chance to LISTEN to it..haha.

Ok, so this week I spent the afternoons with Matt and the girls that he coaches, playing basketball. Man... makes you miss it for sure. I wonder if any college teams need a 27 year old momma of 2 on their team?? ahha

Micah had another random sickness. If you can even call it that.. I just think he had an upset tummy and throwing up made it all better. He was up about 4:30 am telling me his belly hurt, and just kept wanting "fresh" water. Which let me tell you, bottled water that is room temperature is NOT fresh water... Did you know that? Fresh water is cold water. It can be 2 month old water that has been sitting on the shelf and you add ice to it... magically you have Fresh Water!!! So I was up and down with him until about 6 when he was finally able to get sick. All that "fresh water" went straight to the toilet. He was fine the rest of that day, ran like crazy, and has been fine since.

Mason spent the night with the Grands last night (Matt's Parents). He enjoyed that for sure... time away from Micah with the attention payed only to him.... a 5 year old's dream.

We had dinner tonight with the grands, and now the boys are tucked away in bed, and I am here watching the Mavs... GO MAVS! Sheesh...

Ok, for my Project 52 that I am taking part in with many others. One hosted by My Four Hens Photography... This week the theme is "Life" I had ultimately planned to take a picture of the boys during the week being their crazy, chaotic selves, but just didn't get it. We didn't spend alot of time here at the house this week. Excuses.. I know. I'll do better!

So anyhow, I picked an image that I had taken this past year during the birth of my dear friends daughter. It was the first moment she held her baby girl, and "Life" changed for them all that VERY moment. It is not the best in terms of quality (a little grainy) or in focus (out of focus pretty much) but life is sometimes a "little grainy" and "out of focus" if you will... I just love it!

I am loving this project (only 2 weeks in) but I just can't wait until Sunday when she posts the "theme" for that week.. keeps my mind going all week and I am constantly looking for a picture to take.
