The latest

Gah, I'm flat tired.  Being an aunt to three kids who need to get out of the house at least once a day to let their energy out is exhausting.  I told Talya yesterday on the way to the pizza place after we left the pool that we were at for like 6 hours that my goal was to wear them out but I got worn out too.  I better have parenting down pat when I have kids because I use a lot of parenting skills to them on a day to day basis.  I figure it's good practice though, so that when I do have kids, I know how to handle them.  Well, for the most part.

We went to a church tonight called Every Nation.  It was good but it'll be better once I know more people there, and can speak more German.  They have dinner after every service and it's free if you're there for the first time, so that was sweet.  Being a Shoup, I always love a free meal :)  Pray that God leads Talya, the kids and I to the right church in the right place at the right time.  Being a member of a church family helps in so many ways.  It helps when you just need to talk to someone, when you need a babysitter, and whatever else.  Just keep that in your thoughts and prayers.
