Big News!!!

Well for those of you that don't know, Josue had applied to get back into the air force. He found out yesterday that they accepted him back in and today found out that he would have a school date in about three weeks. Amazing! He is applying to be a recruiter and the job that was open in Great Falls has already been filled. We knew that could happen and we knew that God would work to make things happen according to how he wanted them to happen. It is extremely scary and so exciting at the same time to know that our life will be turned upside down within the next month or two. Where will we go? Where will we live? Will we have friends half as amazing as our friends in MT? It is hard to believe that anybody could be as cool as our current friends. I am looking forward to the adventure, but I will be so sad to leave the only place we have known as a married couple. This is where we started our life together and it makes me a little uneasy to imagine our life elsewhere. I am so glad that God is in control and we can trust him with all of these kind of insecurities. Well we will let you know where and when we are going.

Viewer descretion is advised!

so the picture you are about to look at requires some explaining. oh and by the way i know this is my first blog in a very long time so sorry to come back with such sad news. anyway, Eliana was riding in the very back of the Swanson's pilot and when we arrived at our destination she decided she would climb over the back seat with the bigger kids. little did Rachel know the trauma that could be caused just by opening the back hatch. well i bet you can probably guess what happened next. yes my daughter fell out of the back of the vehicle right onto her head. i would estimate probably about four feet straight to asphalt. ouch! i picked her up and there was blood all over her face. so scary. i rushed inside to find something to clear away the blood so i could tell how bad it was. and of course freaked out the Mcadam kids. I kind of yelled at them to open the door, sorry. oops! it turns out that the cut was not that bad but as you can tell by the picture she had a goose egg about the size of a golf ball. she cried and cried and then we offered her a peep and all of a sudden everything was okay. the next day the swelling had gone down to about a fourth of the size and she is now doing just fine.
