Where did February go?

I can't believe that six weeks have come and gone and that we are packing up leaving Wilson, NC. Where did the month of February go? Here's some pictures that I took this past month. I didn't take a whole lot b/c of lack of internet connection, lack of creativity on my part, and lack of camera usage. Joe was always taking it from our house and using it in his studio. Oh well. Here's some from my phone

It snowed here a few times...I thought we were far enough south that we wouldn't see the white stuff. But we did.

My niece Elena turned 7! Pink and yellow bday cake, of course! YUM!

Lincoln checking out the cake!

We went to the mall a few times just to walk around. Lincoln liked the water fountain. He's getting so big. Everyday it amazes me just how big he's getting!

The other day Lincoln fell asleep on a toy and it did this to his head! Little bumps on his forehead! haha! I laughed when I saw his cute lil head all with bed hair and rosy cheeks. So adorable!

He keeps me happy even on sick days.

This past week both Everson families have gotten hit with some type of stomach flu...I'm glad that Lincoln didn't get it too bad. But I was sick in bed for a day and Lincoln tried his best while daddy was gone teaching. He rubbed my head, woke me up at key moments on Sesame Street to tell me what was going on, and gave me kisses!

I wish I had more to tell. Our visit here was wonderful. I appreciate for the people here at Tabernacle allowing us to park here for 6 weeks! We will definitely miss the people here. But I'm ready to start the Spring tour and head up north to see my family! Near the end of our tour we will be in Gillette, WI where some very dear friends of mine are located. So I'm VERY excited about that! Then my sister and my best friend will both be graduating from Northland International University and we will stick around for a week with friends and family in my hometown! So yeah, I'm anxious to get home! Then we are off to start a new chapter in our lives! Seeking where God wants us! It's exciting! :)

Good times!

Quick note before I get to bed...
I had a WONDERFUL time in Wisconsin with my family and Joe's family! But I am HORRIBLE at taking pictures! (sigh...I don't take ANY!)

We parked our lil house in the Everson's driveway for 2 weeks in Northern Wisconsin near campus. It was nice to visit campus and see old friends and meet up with my brother and sister. It got VERY cold really fast. I grew up in the North, but I never liked the cold... : / I enjoyed the times we had with Joe's family as we had 2 weeks off of traveling and stayed at their house during that time. It was very relaxing! :)

My parents met us on campus to have an early celebration for Lincoln's first birthday. (just a month early) I had to steal these pics from my mom's facebook! :)

The Birthday Boy!

Grandpa giving Lincoln a taste of the YUMMY cake! (Thanks Mr. Gaugler!) :)

Opening gifts from Grandma and Grandpa with mommy and Grandpa!

Grandma made a special gift! She put familiar faces under the puzzle peices so that Lincoln will remember his Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Brooke, and Uncle Brennan! So cute!

Lincoln had other ideas what he should do with the puzzle peices!

More gift opening with Grandpa!

Sitting back and talking on Aunt Brooke's phone during supper.

Grandpa lets him drive on campus...

Later that week, we took the hour trip down to my hometown to stay at my parent's house for a couple days. I decieded that we needed to put together a HUGE party for the Packer/Viking game! I invited my friends and my sister came from school to make the big event! Lincoln even had a handful of grandparents attend! :) Not sure if they were there for the game or what... But even though the game didn't turn out as we would have liked, we still had fun! I wore my Brett jersey from his Packer days...But I DID NOT cheer for him.

The Friday before we left, a bunch of our friends from the college, siblings, and their friends, went out bowling. I miss those days of young college bliss! It was fun, but I was in the mothering mood and Lincoln was running a low fever. He did so well in his stroller watching everyone bowl and did not complain one bit!

We left for Escanaba, MI and did Revival America in the Sunday Evening service. From there we were off to Pittsford, MI where we had a short week of meetings. All through this, both Everson family's on the BRM team were sick. I think I got through it without getting the ruff end of it. But poor Joe and Lincoln were up countless times b/c of trouble breathing due to congestion. (and that takes a toll on mommy)

We just got in at the church in Williamstown, WV and will be doing a FULL week of meetings here. Hopefully we are all recovered from all our sickies.

It's been an exhausting couple weeks...ready to head down south. :) But now I need to go to bed. *Night!*

Fun Fall!!!

Let's see...where do I start?! Since the VCY Rally in Milwaukee, it's been a whirlwind of sorts! The Rally was awesome, the people responded very well and it was fun to do! On Sunday we did another Revival America in Hartland, WI. So that means we did Revival America 3 times in one week! It was exhausting!

Sunday was the opener of the NFL season and I am a die hard Green Bay Packer's fan! Born and raised in Wisconsin, it's a given! The big game was that evening and I had Lincoln all decked out in his outfit! :) He went to Sunday evening church like this!

What a cutie!

I was so excited for the Bears/Packers game! (Old Brett Favre jersey from his packer years...)
Joe made my day when he got the screen and projector all set up! It was so much fun! We watched the game outside, it was a beautiful night and the Packers won! :) So this was literally my "view from my front door!"
Near the end of the game it was time for Lincoln to settle down for bed...BUT the game was too exciting for him to be settling down for bed!!! :)

After Hartland, we traveled an hour to Utica, WI. I played basket ball against Utica in high school and it was nice to see some of the girls that I played with! I also met Kim and Erin and made new friendships with them! Lincoln loved playing with them when they came to visit during their lunch break!

Now we are in Inver Grove Heights, MN. We spent all day Friday at Mall of America and even got to go to IKEA. (never been there, mom said it was a MUST!) We enjoyed browsing around, window shopping, and visiting the sharks in the underwater adventure! For lunch we went to Rain Forest Cafe, Lincoln wasn't too sure of that place. I found out he doesn't like thunder storms or fog...
My mom has a shot of me and my siblings in front of this very lego statute from YEARS ago!
One of the things that I've really liked about traveling is the chance that we get to see some of our really good friends. Jon and his wife Elise don't live too far from where we are at now! We enjoyed having them over the last couple evenings! Jon's a great friend that we met in college, he was in our wedding...it was so nice to meet his wife for the first time! We love them and it seemed that Lincoln did too!
I dont have much more time...but these picture are for my mom and Brooke...(and who ever else wants to enjoy them!) He's wearing his Charlie Brown shirt from Brooke!

Making faces as always!
I can't wait till next week! We will be in Northern Wisconsin at the Everson's (in-law's) house for about two weeks! It will be nice to get to spend time with the family! I'm planning on visiting my family for a few days and visiting my siblings at NIU. I always LOVE going "home" whenever we get the chance. Northern Wisconsin is beautiful! Will always be home to me!

Well, I've wasted way too much time...I need to get ready for the evening service!

Let's Party!

The Ultimate Blog Party is getting started and you'll definitely want to join! WHY?! You can win PRIZES!!! And meet new people! What's more fun than that??!! So go over to 5 Minutes for Mom and read all about it. I can't wait to get this party started! Thanks for joining me, let's get to know each other!

My name is Bethany, I'm 22, and I've been married to my WONDERFUL husband Joe for 20 months now!We met at college through some awkward, but memorable moments! I love him dearly and can't say enough about him. (please check out his website! He's very talented!) He is trying to start up his business, Joe's Studio. Check it out.

On November 3, 2008, our adorable son Lincoln Joseph was born! You can get to know him if you look through my blog. He's fun to take pictures of!
Joe and I travel for the Bible Revival Evangelistic Team. (Old pic from last year before Lincoln arrived) With Joe's brother and his family, we make up the Bible Revival Team. We travel across the country to local churches ministering with music and preaching. We've been on the team since August of '08 and it's been quite an experience! What we call "home" is a travel trailer that hooks up to the back of our truck. We love having our home with us everywhere we go. And the view outside our door is always new and exciting!

Another thing that you have to know about me is that I was born and raised in Wisconsin and it's still very much apart of my life. I am a cheesehead and proud of it! I love being with my family and traveling does make me homesick. Other than Joe, my mother is my best friend! Please visit her blog. Her frangrenced soaps are wonderful!

Thanks for stopping by! I can't wait to meet everyone! Don't forget to check out the Ulimate Blog Party and get your name entered in some of those prizes!!! I would be hosting a giveaway...but we will be leaving our station and packing up and moving to another location.

I Love my Valentine!

This is an old picture of me and my Valentine from college 3 years ago at the Valentine's Banquet at Northland. I'm glad to say that he's still the love of my life!Joe...
I'm thankful for all the memories and moments that we share together. There's no one else I'd rather be with. You make all the adventures in life fun, interesting, and memorable. Thank you for joining me on this journey. You are my best friend, soul mate, and a dream come true! Thank you for giving me a beautiful son, for loving me, for being such a caring person, for your music, for being my strength in hard times, being a rock, a comforter, my everything. I pray to be the best in all that I do. For you, our son, our family, and our Savior.
Thank you Lord, for my husband, Joe... Happy Valentine's Day babe, I love you!

A beautiful rose from my husband. (he used to send me pics of flowers every Monday durning college!)

To all my friends, old and new, and to my family, Happy Valentine's Day! I love you all!

Long time, no type

I'm really bad at this. I really want to get in the hang of keeping updates. But there's a little thing in the way called "LIFE." hehehe that just reminded me of something I said to mom last week. I said that in her car she has 2 blue heads and 3 pink heads. Pretty soon with one less pink head. I'll be starting my own car real soon. The game of LIFE.
Anyways. Enough of the stupid talk. Mom took some pictures of Joe and I couple weeks ago. Let me know what you think. We are trying to find something for the front of our invitations.

Enjoy!!! Mom made this collage thingy. We also went to Glamor Shots and got some pictures done. But it costs an extra $50 to get any copy rights. That's why we are trying to do our own pictures for the invitations.
Other than that, school is keeping me really busy. Joe and I are meeting with Coach Werhy every week for Marriage Counseling, what an adventure I gotta say. :)
Spring Break went really well. Joe and I went to Midland with his family to go look for housing. It was fun looking at all of the apartments. But it looks like right now we might be staying in a basement. Which isn't too bad. The family that is offering it is really nice and considering the fact that Joe and I are trying to save up for a trailer and truck. Please keep us in your prayers. You can read our newsletters on biblerevival.com (look on the side bar, it's there)
I'm getting excited for graduation. Only four weeks. It's amazing, I can't believe that I'm leaving this place and that I'll be done with school. But it's too depressing to think that I still have WAY too much stuff to do...I better get started. (sigh)
So here comes life again at full speed. God has given me strength and I praise him for that. I'm so glad that I can go to my Father for anything and everything. He's been such a comforter.
Chapel starts in 15 minutes. better go. Thanks for taking the time if you read all of this. :)

Winter Wonderland

No, I didn't take this picture. I found it online. But this is what it looks like outside right now. This morning we got dumped about 10' or more. So we had closed campus today and couldn't go out on extension. I think I really needed this break. I got to sleep in, and get lots of homework done.
I'm planning on taking my camera out some time today when a group of us go sledding!!!
Untill then, we are snowed in!!!

Praise God for divided garments!!!

Yes, the Northland admen have finally made a very wise choice in woman's attire. Listen to this, now! Girls are allowed to wear pants after supper, and all day on Saturdays till Spring Break. And all of God's people (mainly woman) say....AMEN!!!!
I'm gonna have to buy some more pants!!!!

I love him infinity no say backs

No, not the big dog that I found in my car smelling like Joe....I love Joe!!!! Last Monday Joe put this HUGE dog in my car with a sweet card that sang "How sweet it is to loved by you" when you open it. And when I opened my car door to get in, I actually thought Joe was in there b/c I could smell his colonge so strongly.

So now every night I sleep with this huge dog. I actually use it as my pillow!!! And I smell Joey all night!!! hehehe. But I need to pick a name. What should I name him?

Anyways...It's been a long time since I've posted. So I have a lot to say. And some pics too!!!

I had a lot of fun with my friends Cristie and AJ. But that week was such a busy school week for me, I didn't take too many pictures, so here are some that Cristie sent me. I wanted to get some of AJ too. But he was off campus a lot.

Here's a pic of me, Cristie, and Steph

Last week I decided that I wanted to work camp. During chapel on Tuesday they announced that they needed more girl counselors. Now, I've always wanted to counsel, but always would put it off, or think of something else to do, or always have school as an excuse. But this was my last chance before graduating!!! So Brooke and I decided to take the chance. I wanted to take pictures, but the only ones I have are me cleaning the cabin after camp had ended. (or playing around with the camera while I was cleaning.) I wasn't too thrilled to be cleaning. I wanted to go to sleep...


Sorry this post is so late. As you can tell, I'm not very good at it, and I don't take pictures when I should. I'll try to be better at it.
anyways...laters

Today's the day!!!

Today I'm taking cuts and going to Green Bay with Joe and Stephanie to pick up Cristie! I'm so excited. AJ just texted me and said that he is meeting us in Green Bay and then we will all go out to eat someplace nice! YEEAH!!!! Cristie and AJ should be here all week. I'm sure I'll take pictures and then I'll post them. I've been waiting all week to post my pics of the chocolate fountain that my mom bought. But I can't find the cord to my camera...but I'll try and get my pics on asap. Have a good weekend. Who knows when I'll post again. Maybe later next week.
bye

I'm so happy!!!!

This is a picture of Joe and me with two very special people in my life. My very good friends Cristie and AJ. This weekend I went home to rest and do so homework. It was a nice relaxing time, home by myself with the dog. Till AJ called around noon. It was so good to hear from him. I miss having him around NBBC. Then, couple hours later, Cristie called me. The happy news is that both Cristie and AJ will be here on campus this week. I'm so excited. Just like old times finally. :) We are going to party it up this weekend. I miss these two so much. I can't wait to hug Cristie and laugh with her and have all four of the dsh dsh dsh together again. Cristie and AJ are my family and I've been miserably here with out them. This is going to be an awesome week!!!!

This is a picture of Cristie when we took a Northland Gator around Reflection Lake...As you can see, we didn't pay attention to posted signs!
Me and Cristie at Dave's Falls. Man, that day was a blast. Thanks Cristie for all the good times.
