Last month we celebrated Nat's 30th birthday with some food, cake, and great fellowship! not to mention a highly intense, blood pumping, sweat drenching game of air-soft in the wooded back yard of Ken and Karen's. unfortunately for the better part of the afternoon i was in the house preparing the last of the food arrangements but i did join in the fun for the last game.... hehe, just in time to creep through the woods and pelt my husband in the back! but its quite all right since he got me back this weekend in Ohio when we began a night time war on the field of mom and big sis's front yard! that shot to the knee hurt pretty bad, babe, but not as bad as the bruise i got from slipping on the wet grass trying to escape fire from the enemy! Air-soft seems to have become a favorite sport in the Zook family........ some how we tend to bond over causing each other to wile and bleed! thanks to Nora's help it took only one hour or so to decorate Nat's cake instead the three it probably would have taken me to do it by myself. while Nat was distracted with guns Nora and i assembled Nat's cake in the form of an airplane. in case you haven't noticed yet, Nat has acquired a love for remote controlled airplanes. and it has also always been one of his dreams to get his pilots license. after over an hours worth of work i am finally putting on the final touches. that is not the look of concentration on my face, it is me trying to figure out why i thought this was a good idea :P Nora and i watched with sadness as Nat cut out what was, in his words, "the best part of the plane".... the cockpit! it took two seconds to destroy what took hours to create. i guess its all o.k when it's done in the name of love!!!
My husband and I are missionaries at heart. We met on the mission field and we plan to spend a good portion of our lives doing what we love and what we feel God has called us to do. However, for the time being we have been living here in PA building a little family together. And since we plan to some day leave everything and go back to the third world I have been trying to decorate our nest with as little mulla as possible. I was never much of a do it yourself girl but out of necessity I had to learn and I have grown to LOVE it!! I have decided to blog about my successes and mishaps in home decorating. If you are no good at it then I am your hope...... cause if I can do it, anyone can!
