This past weekend my entire family headed back to our roots of the Cornhusker state. It was a bittersweet trip in that my precious grandpa has been battling cancer for almost 10 years and the doctors suggested we come to visit sooner than later as his health is going down hill rapidly. We all immediately booked flights, packed up vans and traveled west to Nebraska to love on our grandparents, possibly one last time. My grandmother has alzheimers. I don't mean to write a sad post. But rather if you have grandparents still alive, enjoy every minute God blesses you with them. My grandparents (Elmer and Lovella Zajicek) celebrated their 60th anniversary 2 years ago. They are an amazing couple, who truly love each other no matter what. When we arrived at the Zajicek Farm my Grandpa said, "I want this weekend to be a celebration of life." and it truly was.

4th of July
I almost forgot one of my favorite indy memories...of the past couple weeks. Tony's aunt Patty lives just N of Indy, so we spent the 4th of July in her town watching a cute parade, while the cousins collected candy and then we all headed to Patty's house for some Indiana cook'n. Check out this dog! He sat in that little cart the whole parade! He should be on that show, "All American Dog" - ahahaa!
ps - of course i had the cutest 4th of july outfit for claire with matching sandals n all, but this one day it was FREEZING?! oh well, maybe next year :)

We Made It!
Ok, I know it's been 52.4 years since we updated our blog, but soo much has happened in the last few weeks. And we just got our internet back up and running a couple days ago. God really showed me how much time I can "waste" on the internet. Going w/o for 3 weeks, I found many other great and probably more wise ways to spend some free time. Ok, let's get down to business. So to make a very long story short, the Zetterberg family is now back in the Hoosier state. Since everything happened in about 2 weeks we decided to just do the apt thing for one more year and look at homes next year. But I really like our new "home" - we have nice neighbors, a pool, tennis courts and a play ground. We even live in a great part of Indy. Sooo close to everything - especially shopping! A very sweet and wise friend of mine (Stephanie Rogers) once told me, "Seminary life was good in that we learned how to live on a very small budget. So even though God may bless us with jobs for our husbands that pay more, we still need to be wise with our money." Thanks Steph, I repeat that to myself each time I make a trip to Target :) So other than shopping what have we been up to? Well, now with the luxury of living close to family we are able to visit with them more. We even got to attend Hayden's 3rd birthday party. I've had lunch with my sister and mother-in-law, helped my best friend Jen move into a new home, I even got to take my nephews, Jonathan and Matthew to the pool. And my personal favorite, time with my husband. Now that he works days rather than nights, our sleep and awake schedules are more the same, which is a huge plus for a marriage and family. Though it was really hard to leave Louisville, I have enjoyed our time here already and look forward to many more fun days and memories. So after this very long "post" here are some fun pics to share. As you can see we've been outside alot. Praise the Lord for Slip N Slides, pools, fancy parks and sunshine!

N.T. Wright
A very strange setting for N.T. Wright. Still, he is spot on in this "interview" concerning the misunderstanding of heaven in churches today.

Anniversary

Saturday, June 14th, Tony and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's been 5 years already. To some (like our parents) that may not seem like a long time, but for us "newlyweds", that's some time! Especially when you think of all you've been through and accomplished. We were married in Indianapolis and about a month later moved down here to Louisville, KY for Tony to begin working on his MDiv and ThM. Talk about a 180 from the business world. It really taught us how to have a great time on a small budget. God blessed with many wonderful friends and we both grew in our knowledge and relationship with Christ, individually as well as together. Also in these past five years God gave us a beautiful daughter. Claire is such a miracle and joy to us. Now after 5 fun years in Louisville, we are heading back north where Tony has taken a job with Conseco in Indianapolis. Before leaving our beloved state of Kentucky we celebrated our anniversary at an amazing Italian restaurant called Volare'. It had a beautiful atmosphere and excellent food (especially dessert - notice pic attached). I am so thankful and proud of my wonderful husband for all he has done and gotten us through in life and marriage. He is an amazing man who I love so much!

Happy Father's Day!
This was a pretty laid back and relaxing Father's Day. Claire gave her "dada" his card first thing this morning and then we headed off to church. Following church (we were actually serving in the nursery during the second service, so Tony really got to show off his fathering skills) we went out to lunch with some friends and finally headed home for a nice long nap. Claire was the first to go - as you can see from the picture. Happy Father's Day Tony! Thank you for being such a loving, caring and sweet daddy. We love you.
ps - Happy Father's Day Dad (Pops and Papaw)

Congratulations Gil!
My "little" brother Gil graduated from high school and turned 18 this weekend. Just about all of us kids were able to head to my parents' home in OH to help celebrate. First Gil had an open house for friends and family, mom even broke out the chocolate fountain. Then dad grilled out steaks. After throwing the cousins in the tub and going thru old memories in the basement, we finally crashed in bedrooms, guest rooms, air mattresses, couches and pack n plays. It was just like Christmas, minus the tree. I just love going home and spending time with family.
