Happy 4th of July!!

We enjoyed Friday and Saturday celebrating the USA! We started friday with a pool party with the Pykes then BBQ with other friends downtown at the Silberbergs. It was so fun to watch the Padre game, eat yummy food and watch the great firework show after the game.

 Saturday we slept in and then headed to Coronado with Cheri and Andrew. It was the best day!! We loaded our bikes in the van, parked near the bridge(so we could escape the traffic after the fireworks) then road our bikes around all day. We ate yummy Miguels for lunch, beached it up for hours, got refreshing drinks and fro-yo, played exciting rounds of yahtzee ( cleared out starbucks- because we were yelling so loud... hahah) hot tubbed at the Del, then watched amazing fireworks with champagne! It was perfect! 

Coronado was filled with AMERICAN spirit - all the houses were decorated with red,white and blue.. 

The night ended with  us girls riding on the handle bars with the hubs screaming U-S-A!!! 

U-S-A!!!! and singing God BLESS AMERICA!! 

Haha It was awesome!

God Listens when we Pray.

Isnt he so cute!! Hahaha.. He hates that I put this picture on here.. But it tied into this blog so well. Sean and I have been praying so much about what God wants for our lives. Sean knows that his time in the Minor Leagues was not a waste. He strongly believes that his time there was to develop him for the future. He has been thinking that he really wants to coach high school level baseball, teach and have his photog biz on the side. Over the last few weeks we have been praying that God would use us and that we would be obedient when he calls us to do something. We are sick of listening to God and yet not DOING anything about it. Today was an amazing day. Sean was asked to speak at a local church on Sunday about what it means to be on a TEAM. After he spoke to the pastor, he was notified that Christian High School is in need of a Assistant Coach/Pitching Coach next season. Sean went to the game to watch one of the boy's he has mentored/coached. During the game, Sean met with the Head Coach and basically he offered Sean the job. Sean is overjoyed in how fast God answered his prayers. We will be gone for school in the fall but when we return in December, Sean will start coaching at Christian High (my alma mater). We are so thankful that our God is a personal God and that he listens to our every need, desire, hope. Thank you for all your prayers. We are excited for what the future holds.

Date day with my Joy... SRW!!

Today we had a fun date day, just the two of us.. We haven't done that in a LOOONG time. We started the day cleaning and making breakfast, then we went to church. Church was awesome. It was about Joy. It inspired me to seek joy more. What is your joy? Mine is many things but my 2 greatest joys are: 1- My salvation, 2- My husband. How amazing is it that our salvation can never be stripped from us. I am so lucky to have a God who promises me a life after this that is free of sin, disease, sadness, filthiness. And that it lasts for eternity.

Well i was "overjoyed" after the service, because i knew the rest of my day was with my 2nd joy, my hub. We went to the Padres game and had a really great time. It was wierd going to a baseball game with sean and not alone. I miss watching him play, but it was very fun to have a date in the stands.

We decided to take some fun pics while we were there. It was a long game... 18 innings long.. but we left early.

Hope you have a great week and find your joys in life!

PS.. My hat was my brother's when he was a lil boy.. Padres 1980's... Pure brown corderoy with orange writing.. CLASSIC.. love you christopher.

Looking over the Kings Canyon

Sorry fellow bloggers, I have not been blogging as much since we have been back in San Diego. I feel like we are home and therefore nobody really checks our blog anymore.. but I have been notified of a few faithful readers and they have voiced their disappointment with the lack of updates.. hehehe..

So since Easter.. we have been living in La Mesa next to the Walkers in the trai trai. Sean and I are currently unemployed. Sean has been working with Bob ( his dad)  a lot during the week.. and I have been working on getting a Nsg job and everything looked great to go back to Kaiser and work at my old job, but just this past week they told me that there is no need right now. So its been real frustrating. I feel so purposeless without working. I am now with an agency called Nursefinders that helps me get temp jobs. I was a school nurse sub last week and look forward to getting more temp jobs.

Sean and I are in a BIG transition phase. Sean really believes that God is not calling him to Baseball anymore. Therefore we are searching out what is next for Team Walker. As of now, we are planning on living in San Diego through the summer, then we will leave to go to Baylor in August for Sean to finish school. Then come Christmastime- Sean will graduate and we will come back home to San Diego. From there, we will see what the Lord has for us. It is an exciting time, but also a bit scary. We have been challenged and want to make sure that we are seeking the Lord in everything. We want our desires to match God's desires.

We have had a great time with friends and family since weve been home.

Hope you enjoy all the updated pics. I will really try to blog more often.. Thank you for all your prayers and support. We love our lives.. even when its hard.

Please pray for me. My Crohn's disease has been bad lately. I hate being sick. Please pray that I will have strength through my sickness.

Easter Lovin!!

I love these boys!!

the hub and me

We had a weekend jammed full of celebrating Easter. We had Melissa's bunny tea party on Friday, walker- easter egg hunt on Saturday, and easter Celebration on Sunday with my wonderful family. We had an awesome time in church Sunday morning. It was raw and real. It spoke to many hearts and made me realize how lucky we are to have a savior who died for us/me. Me, a silly girl who doesnt worship her God like she should. Me a chronic sinner. Me a girl who calls her God, "father" yet sometimes skip days talking to him and doesnt know Him as much as I should. I am so thankful, my God, father, friend.. accepts me for me. 

Anyways, our easter Sunday was filled with family and joy. We went up to my aunt and uncles in Fallbrook, where my mom, cousins, grandparents and siblings all ate great food, hunted eggs, and laughed a lot.

Sean and I are so thankful for the family God has given us. But most of all thankful for the eternal life we receive for believing in him.
