We Were Cool Too.

Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, a few souls are thrust together to form a bond society could never vanquish. This is our story.

Exciting happenings since we last were together:

Searching for a cat on one fateful wintry night. Tracks were found, but so was a body. A dead one. Farewell, Cassie.

Lois got her license! WHAT A RELIEF.

Adam got a kickin' job. Planet Fitness, for the win.

"Private Josh Nare"

Lois graduated high school! WHAT A RELIEF.

Michelle learned (sort of) how to drive a stick. ;)

William's hair grew long, twice.

Lois and William had a jam session.

Adam's hair grew short.

There were beards.

There were dinner parties.

Ethan William Nare came into the world, early. Really early. And we're stronger because of it. :)

There were knives.

Music became slower and sweeter, and life became more about living.

Shopping became a problem. (But sister bonding did not!)

Lois went to Texas for two weeks. WHAT A RELIEF.

Over all a lot of growth has spread through our dear little family. Grandparents stepped up to the plate for the first time, as well as parents, aunts, and uncles. Changes always prove to be hard, but they bring good things. God is good, always God is good. We're becoming the very people He intended us to be, and we're figuring out more and more the very Person He is. What a blessed life we live.

That awkward moment when it's Christmas Eve and you realize you just ate Santa's last cookie.

Opps.

Our night tonight.

[wewerecooltoo-blog]

Summer 2011.

It was a great one. We were all united, brought home, together for one full summer. We laughed, we loved, we cried a little, but most of all we lived. So many things happened; to list them all would become quite lengthy and no one would care to read. So let us just highlight the better things.. ;)

It was the summer of zucchini, cucumbers, and beans. Lois seemed to make more zucchini bread than could ever be eaten, Mom froze her share of beans, and Michelle made some pickles! These guys sure love to garden.

Lois spent 5 weeks working at a summer camp. Serving God in the heat of summer was exhausting but she loved it. She came home having grown a lot and was ready to see God move like crazy in the fall months.

Taco Night!

The-random-rope-episode. HA.

Lots of cookies were made!

LOTS OF BIRTHDAYS! Oh.. I guess those happen every year..

Michelle wore a sweater to the pond party. ;) 

Sister bonding was had. Including tie-dye.

It wasn't the most eventful summer, but it was good. :)

A wedding to remember.

Jesus.

It was a beautiful night. And this is only a peek.

Lois officially jumped on the hipster wagon. Ugh. So mainstream, Lois.

William.

[wewerecooltoo-blog]

typical conversation.

William: Lois, I'm just calling to make sure you're hot hiding somewhere in my house. ..You're not are you?

Lois: Hahaha, nope! I'm in my house.

William: Can you prove that?

Lois: Well.. technically no. But you can take my word on it, I promise!

William: haha, Alright. I just know there are a lot of dark corners in this house, so I wouldn't want you to scare me or something.

Lois: hahaha, yeahh. ..HEY! THAT'S A GOOD IDEA!

William: *laughs* Oh wait, do you know anything about a lot of baler twine in the trash can?

Lois:....ohhh.. funny story! So I had some friends over, and we decided to tie our one friend, Noah, up to a chair and leave him in the middle of your kitchen to find when you came home this afternoon..

William: HAHAHA! Is that why you asked when we were coming home?

Lois: Yep! ..But then while we were waiting for you, Noah's grandma showed up.. and um. Well, she kinda ruined our plans. And we had to hurry and untie Noah while Chance distracted her.

William: hahaha oh man. ...that would have been good.

Lois: Yeah, next time. ;)

William and Michelle's first pet...

                                                        ...it was a mistake.

It's funny.

It's funny how the internet can make you seem famous. It's funny how people can follow you and be your friend and seemingly know everything about you and yet you'll never meet face to face. It's funny when you share your heart on the internet and then touch hundreds of other people. It's funny when your family can tease you about being "Tumblr famous." 

It's funny. It's incredible. It's scary. It's an opportunity.

Just always remember: actions speak louder than blog posts. Live your life, don't just post about it.
