there's no place like home.

tomorrow is a big day for the brewster family...megan, nick, and bella are moving to maine! i'm kind of in a state of shock. it's almost like i won't believe it until the summer has gone by and they're still here. or maybe i won't believe it until i am eighty years old and we all had the chance to live our lives together. either way, i'm so excited.

megan and i are almost four years apart. we fought insanely growing up. megan has a temper and you better believe that i knew exactly how to push her buttons. i am sure i was the typical annoying little sister...i remember doing all i could to get her going. needless to say, we were at each others throats quite often. sorry, mom! but as we grew older, the age gap didn't seem so big. when megan went off to college in ohio, our relationship actually became a friendship. that's why i am so excited that we will be living within fifteen minutes of each other. with the exception of living in ohio together for a year or so, we haven't been close distance wise for...twelve years? wow. that's crazy.

megan and i are best friends now, and our husbands are like two peas in a pod (jude doesn't seem to like bella too much at the moment, but hopefully that'll change)  i am so thankful that God has given us the opportunity to share life together. so gas up, cornwells! home awaits you.

fifth year is in the books.

so this past friday was mine and brian's anniversary. our fifth. it's crazy to think it has been five years. in one way, it seems like just yesterday that we were getting ready for the wedding and going on our honeymoon. but in another way, it seems like brian and i have known each other FOREVER. which we have, really. either way you look at it, brian rocks my world. i usually don't get real sappy and lovey dovey online, but i'm trying something new. i could write a million blog entries with endless examples of how awesome brian is...for real. sometimes i think i am hard to love...i am super opinionated and outspoken. i'm sure that gets annoying. but brian loves me no matter what. he's a great example of what God called husbands to do: love your wife like Christ loved the church. i am quite confident that i'd be alone forever if it weren't for brian. they don't make them like him anymore. its sad (and i know that there are many other great men out there, but the majority of young men these days are quite disappointing). that's actually one reason why i wanted a boy so much...i want us to raise him, and maybe other boys, to serve Christ. that's one thing i hope for jude; that he will grow up to be loving, patient, and kind-hearted...just like his dad. so here's to five years! happy fifth, bk.

welcome.

welcome to my blog. it's still under construction, but i thought i'd get my butt in gear and start using it...finally. its mostly for my own benefit, because i think it will be cool to look back at this years down the road. maybe jude will read it someday and be thankful that i wrote about his childhood and the memories we're making. so, enjoy!
