Little t update

March 11, 2014

We are very blessed to be able to work as a family in the guest house ministry. I thought I would let Little t write a post to tell you a bit about his world. I’m giving him free reign to tell you about anything he wants, so it may or may not have anything […]

School time

September 16, 2013

I have this memory of substitute teaching in a Kindergarden class. I was terrified. All these five year olds, who are used to routine and love their teacher. I’m pretty sure the teacher aide did most of the teaching that day. I was so overwhelmed! After that day I hoped that I would never teach […]

Summer wrap up

September 9, 2013

That was fast. Summer it is. Gone. Except for the heat, which we will still have until Thanksgiving. I have put off updated our time in Michigan because I simple could not wrap my mind around it all. We were blessed, refreshed, excited, entertained, and loved on. We met with so many folks while we […]

Family time

March 4, 2013

The thought had just crossed my mind, “Gee I need to update our blog, but about what?” Then Lydia conviently dropped a weight onto her face and sent us to Urgent Care to have her split lip glued back together. That is the last time I wonder what I’m going to share with you all. […]

Seven years.

October 23, 2011

“Torre, for our anniversary this year, I want to hike up the mountain.” When my brother-in-law heard how we were celebrating he stated, “What, are you trying to kill her?” The plan was to drink coffee together when we got to the top, as a tribute to our very informal first date. We were about […]

Idaho welcomes the Meissners!

February 26, 2010

We have arrived in the land of cold. This morning we warmed up the car to get the frost of the windows. But the houses are toasty! We have been here less than two weeks and have had so many fun experiences. Turin has gotten to know his family on the Meissner side better. Torre […]

It’s a girl!

December 4, 2009

If you counted pregnancy by months, a woman would be pregnant ten months. So it is usually counted by weeks. However, weeks is often hard for some to wrap their minds around (Torre…). So as an update: I’m roughly six months pregnant OR 25 weeks along. We found out a few weeks ago that we […]

Five months down!

October 29, 2009

So I just completed week 20 with this pregnancy. Or as Torre likes to say, “month five.” Just wanted to send an updated picture and thank you all for praying for me and this little one. Lord willing we will find out Thursday, November 20th what we are having! We are so very thankful for […]

Snow in Mexico!!!

October 29, 2009

You read that right. We had SNOW today. Let me tell you, it was God’s gift to us. With the holidays coming up, the sun going down at 6pm, and just plain ol’ tiredness setting in, one can’t help feeling a big down. I was feeling just like that yesterday. Talking with God and once […]
