Wool & Copper

As you scratch your head about the title, think of it as a quiz. No reading ahead! I'm sure some people might know what I'm talking about.


Seven years ago today, I walked down the aisle all smiles focusing on my soon to be husband Shane. There is a great picture of my dad & I when we turn the corner and I make I contact with Shane. I have the biggest smile! What a joyous day, some fun little facts. Two days before my wedding I burned the ham & beans, so the families went to Jackpot NV instead and had dinner there. Parents rode together cubitizing about there respective children! Met Shane grandparents and his Cousin Wesley & Blaine. The day before my wedding I had a dentist appointment, Wade called me to say they had lost Shane in Target. Had most of Shanes family over at my house cooking the rehersal dinner. And they boys acting silly with their tux vest.

The day of my wedding, two of my girlfriends and I got our hair done. Shanes Granddad told me next time he saw me I should have my wedding dress on. ( I ran upstairs of the church to go the bathroom). Shanes Sisters & Aunt helped me with my makeup. I think there were at least 6 people giving there opinion of how my makeup should be. It turned out lovely! Apparently people saw Shane & I eat at the reception dinner. I remember being the first in line, but then we had to take pictures, & open gifts. Receiving a box that had a singing fish and finding towels instead, I was so happy it wasn't a singing fish. The day after the wedding driving back to Seattle and catching a snow storm in Ellensburg with slick roads and staying at a motel, then getting up the next morning and finishing the treck home. Then that night loading Ivan in his crate, catching a flight to Alaska for our Honeymoon.


What Fun memories, thankfully throughout these past seven years, we've had our share of good, painful, great, silly, romantic memories. It will be interesting what kind of memories God has instore for us these coming years. Thank you lord for a strong & healthy marriage where we focus on Him, and He builds us up together.


Oh the wool and copper for those who don't know ( I didn't know) that is the Traditional Gift for the 7th anniversary. Modern gift is desk set/pencil set. Can't see Shane needing a desk set/pencil set. :-)
Love you Shane!

I like the sound of "wool and copper" better. I can't recall that we exchanged either on our 7th! Of course, that was a while back. Congratulations! I wish I could have been there for the wedding 7 years ago.
Love to you both~ Laila

Yeah, and because you got married on Rory's birthday I had to choose whether to have his 2nd birthday party or go to your wedding. And it was on a weeknight right? I thought it was a cool day to get married and well, I can't forget your anniversary!

Whew! Break for update

Long awaited update, we have made it through 7 weeks of school both for the kids and ourselves. It's been a productive semester, God has been guiding our steps and we're continually thankful for that! He has also been growing us and peeling off bandages of hurts I haven't dealt with. Through it all He remains faithful and I am most grateful for that. We've had a slew of birthdays roll through our house these past months. Dakota had hers on the 30th of January! She got some really pretty outfits from Grammie & Grandpa Aunt Nelma,Uncle Paul, and Cousin Steve. She also got a coloring book and sunglasses, another little doll, crown from cousins and neighbor kids, sorry if I forgot anything. We had a little party for her with homemade pizza! My little girl is now 5 years old, scary when she was once so little. My little boy Seth turned 3, February 15th. We had a family party on the day of his birthday. He got some great outfits, and cool cars from Grammie ...

West bound....

            Well another month has passed and we are getting ready to move into March.  It is always hard to write when life is so crazy, however, it is important to let people know what is going on in the Lambing household which is split at the moment.  At the beginning of the year when Shane left for Seattle I thought the kids and I would be able to survive and continue to thrive here in Idaho.  However as the weeks passed and Shane was able to come home everyother weekend, it was becoming clear the kids were no longer thriving especially Daniel.  Daniel I've come to decide is the most emotional based kid I've dealt with.  He is very tender and reactionary to the environment he is in.  This being said, because I'm stressed at being an only parent 90% if the time & I wanted to make it work, Daniel is being stressed and it is becoming more apparent everyday he misses his dad like crazy and is not reacting well to being part...

Month in review

Image
As always it's remained busy for us this last month. We enjoyed a few days away from Portland at the end of March with Dawna, Kurt, and Girls; and Neva, Jason, Thomas, and Katherine. They are all getting so big, it was a treasure getting to spend time with all the nieces and nephew. Unfortunately, Kelli brought headlice home from school. Ugh! We are still battling this with the kids. I'm remaining vigilant. We had a great Easter with sunny weather, and school friends coming over for dinner. The kids dyed some Easter eggs Saturday afternoon which was fun to do. They all looked great in their new outfits. School is gearing towards the end of the semester so we are staying busy. It's been a good year thus far and we are looking forward to the journey of continuing.
