It's Early... 2008-05-09 07:26:00 Dear Mom,How does one, especially me, put into words how thankful I am for you!?! I'm trying (very) hard to resist doing it in list form :) Here goes...This is your 30th mother's day :) I'm pretty sure you probably have all the cards you've ever received (from anyone) somewhere in your hope chest :) And yes, I know you'll print this off to show to the ladies at work ;)As I look back over the year Read more:Early
The Big One 2008-05-08 07:40:00 It's tradition...or something like that. It's my 100th post...which means that since the end of February...I have blogged, ummm A LOT! Wonder how much time I've spent reading blogs? *cough* Let's not go there. Anyways, (or neways as I discovered the youngins are texting these days) its been a big week for me in blog-land. This week I had the MOST comments I've ever had on one post...24, I think :)
A Day in the Life of... 2008-05-07 12:27:00 I am amazed at all of the really WONDERFUL Pastor's wives that I have met while blogging. I wish I could explain what a blessing it has been in my life...to describe how it has ministered to me, and "filled my cup" so to speak...but, I would need to come up with some eloquent words (and for those of you who read this blog, ever, you'll know that's not likely to happen) so I'll just leave it at tha
For the Love of the List 2008-05-06 09:05:00 I'm a list person. I always have 10 different lists going...usually in several different notebooks (which I can't keep track of.) I am always formulating them in my head. Grocery list, Wal-mart list, bills list, to-do list, boys list, on and on. There are other weird lists in there too...The other pastor's wives list, the vehicles we've owned list (why!?! I don't know), stuff I want to ask Jesus w
Hmmmm 2008-05-05 08:47:00 For some reason, I can't seem to come up with anything other than randomness on Mondays! Why is that?!? It brings back the words to a song that I recall loving in Jr. High..."Things That Make Ya Go Hmmmm." HA! Please tell me I'm not the only dork out there who remembers this song :) ...after this post I will have to venture off to You Tube and find it...it's a tad-bit frightening...all you ca
Six Thingys 2008-05-04 19:30:00 I've been tagged by Beefy. Which works out great, because it's Sunday...and I'm at a loss for a post idea!I am supposed to come up with 6 words or phrases that best describe me.Rules are as follows:Write your own six-word memoirPost it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you'd likeLink to the person tho tagged youTag 5 more blogs with a linkRemember to leave a comment on the tagged b
Cute and Disgusting 2008-05-03 09:52:00 Cute & Disgusting...all at the same time. I have no idea what that junk is around his mouth, but it's obviously not bothering him. The hat: I bought it last year, to protect his little head from the sun. He would have none of that...took it off every. single. time. But now, this year...he wears it everywhere. It's too small (now) and it drives me nuts...of course he would want to wear it N
I Can't Remember... 2008-05-02 08:11:00 I am experiencing blog dejavu. Does this happen to you?!? I started blogging in February...which makes this my 95th post. Lately, as I start rambling on about something, I have this nagging suspicion that I've covered, whatever topic I'm rambling about, ALREADY! Weird. I've also learned, (from my whole 95 posts) that giving your posts a non-obvious title, (because you are trying to convince yourse Read more:Remember
More Than You Want To Know... 2008-05-01 09:06:00 How nice & sweet & wonderful are my blog friends?!?! Seriously, you all are so KIND!!! I'm sorta thinking I could have gone back to my elementary days of the mullet hair cut, and ya'll woulda told me how fabulous I looked :) Where were you all in Junior High when I was all insecure about EVERYTHING!?! I have nothing very exciting to share today...except that I survived getting my teeth cle
For the Love of Awards and Haircuts 2008-04-30 15:40:00 Ok, so it's my SECOND post about "The Award" today...I'm still obviously talking about it. I know what you're thinking....it's a tad bit pathetic...but I promise it will wear off (eventually:) I NEED to pass on the love though...and it is HARD! So, I decided that if I know you in real life...I cannot give you the award because I ABSOLUTELY can't pick between you...plus, I think all your blogs are Read more:Awards

Not So Humble... 2008-04-30 10:01:00 What could make a great night of Ladies Bible Study even better?!? Logging on to my blog (afterwards, of course) and seeing that my new blog friend, Kelli, at Ponderings of a Pastors Wife, gave me an AWARD!!!! WOO HOO! (She is fantastic...go check her out.) It's my first...and probably my last....so I am going to treasure it and talk on and on about it to everyone I know...because after all, how Read more:Humble
Let it All Out 2008-04-29 07:27:00 Just let me say it...I REALLY like Tuesdays. On Tuesdays I do NOT have to get up to run, do not have carpool duty and only have to get one child out the door for school. LOVE Tuesday! Another bonus, is that tonight we have Ladies Bible Study, which I always look forward to. The lesson we will be discussing in Seeking Him, is on honesty. *Deep breath* A week ago, I posted this, about my journey. To
Big Important Decisions... 2008-04-28 09:48:00 Hebrews 11:1 " What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead." It's a verse I've heard a bazillion times...but today, it was fresh. Gotta love that. This week I get to go to the dentist (barf) and get my hair cut (YAY!)...I know...it is an exciting life I Read more:Decisions
The Time I Waste... 2008-04-27 19:45:00 What Your Latte Says About YouYou'd think after the "loafers" incident, I would learn not to take these quizzes, but, as you can see..."some people gotta learn the hard way" (I'm quoting DC Talk there...but that is a whole other post) Anyways...the only statement that is completely true is...I AM addicted to caffeine...I will not deny it. There...I said it. And now...I wish I had a real latte.You
Is it Monday Yet? 2008-04-27 12:40:00 It has been an eventful few days for us. So much so, that I don't know how to post about it...except for a bullet point list, with pictures, of course.It has been raining A LOT. We are all tired of it...but can't seem to stop talking about it.Saturday at 4:30 AM we awoke to the sounds of sirens. They were meant to notify our tiny town that it was filling with water. As I peered out the front windo Read more:Monday
I Can Take A Hint... 2008-04-25 08:38:00 I love checking email in the morning. For some reason, logging on and seeing all those messages is pure joy...it is also how I know I am a big dork. This morning I found this message, on Facebook, from one of my bestest friends and sis-in-law... "O.K. I am at work and just checked out your blog for the first time. I am not on the clock by the way!! Why in the world haven't you mentioned me, the al
Adjustable 2008-04-24 10:49:00 I need to be upfront with ya'll today. I have tried and tried to come up with something other than what I am going to blog about today. But I can't get it out of my head. So, I figure, if I just post about it, maybe it will leave. Maybe.What could be so important and fascinating that I just can't stop thinking about it? Adjustable Waist Jeans. Yep...you read it right. As I got my two year old dres
Sign Me Up 2008-04-23 08:49:00 Oh bloggy friends...I have just officially signed up for my first race on May 10th. Now, before you get too excited, I should tell you that it is only a 4 mile race :) For the under-achiever living in me....that is perfection! There is also coffee and bagels at the end...yeah...like I said, perfection. It's Heth's fault, really. She made it sound so fun that I couldn't resist. She also mentioned t
Don't Go Breakin My Heart 2008-04-22 13:23:00 This kid is breaking my heart. Ripping it out of my chest. Sigh.Eli, the past few weeks, has decided that he does not want to go to preschool. The closer we get to the school, he starts to say, "I don't feel so good" and tears well up in his big eyes. The first day he did this, I thought maybe he really was sick, so I took him home and made him rest. But...it has continued. I have asked him a mil Read more:Breakin

Before and After...Again 2008-05-16 08:44:00 I have to say a HUGE thanks to my friend, Shell, who made the amazing header! Doesn't it look fabulous!?! Getting it loaded was a big pain in the butt (for her...I gave up after 2 seconds.) She's super talented...and preggo right now and so stinking cute! I love her. You should probably go tell her thank you for saving you from looking at my generic header for ONE MORE DAY! Ya'll know I LOVE a goo Read more:Again
We Met at TJ MAX 2008-05-18 18:11:00 Yesterday, my mom watched the kids for awhile so my sister and I could go shopping...with NO KIDS!! We went to TJ MAX because I had a lovely gift card burning a whole in my pocket. That's where I met this lovely- shiny- perfect- shade of green- had my name all over it- purse!I have to share it with you...so that you to may bask in its cuteness. I'm all about sharing the love. Here it is, my friend
Is There Another Word For Random? 2008-05-17 09:01:00 So far this Saturday morning I have managed to consume (inhale) two pieces of cake and 1/2 a pot of coffee for breakfast. All while trying to figure out the wonderful world of Webkinz. Oh you heard me right. We got Noah one for his birthday...he's been wanting one...and I had no idea how in-depth caring for a stuffed animal could be! Two hours of my life is now gone...thanks to our new friend, "Bu Read more:Random
Just Do It For Me... 2008-05-19 09:48:00 What better to talk about on a Monday than poop?!? I hate potty training. Despise it. I am bad at it. My kids are bad at it. Jake is almost 3...in our house, that means it's that time...the battle is oh-so-on. We have one bathroom in our house...upstairs. We have one lazy toddler who has decided that it's easier to poop in his diaper DOWNSTAIRS than to have to go UPSTAIRS to sit on the potty. I f
It Is That Bad... 2008-05-21 08:47:00 I'm having one of those weeks, where I have a bunch of stuff that needs to get done...and I haven't fully completed any of it. I start one project, and instead of completing it, I get distracted by something else...which is what this post is going to be...distracting.I give you...the dining room wall:See those lovely spots? I did that. Our walls our textured (because they're really old and texture
Who From Our Do 2008-05-20 10:26:00 I feel there's something you should know. I am a DVR freak. For those of you who may not have experienced this amazing machine, let me explain to you (in very technical terms) what it does. It records (very simply) TV programs. It pauses live TV. It enables me to watch TV without commercials. WITHOUT COMMERCIALS. I adore it. If you don't have one...you need one. Think of all that precious time you
You're Gonna Wanna Come... 2008-05-22 09:29:00 God sometimes gives me great revelations or breakthoughs...in the bathtub. It may have something to do with the fact that it's one of the only rooms that I can LOCK everyone else OUT. Here's what happened last night...I've mentioned before that I happen to love my tiny town...and the tiny-towns folks. I was thinking about all the different faces I'd seen today...wondering what was really going on
Not My Friend... 2008-05-23 08:29:00 By now, you're probably getting sick of me talking about my computer idiotness...but it is never ending. It's part of what kept me from starting a blog for several months...I was sure I wouldn't be able to figure it out. Luckily, blogger is fairly user-friendly, and I had the help of several friends who kept (keep) sending detailed instructions that a 5 year old could follow. I love them.There is
Update On Tiny-Town 2008-05-26 19:49:00 We have electricity again! We spent the day at Shanon's house, salvaging what we could...which was not much. It's physically and emotionally exhausting for everyone, but especially those who have lost so much. People here are amazing. EVERYONE coming alongside their neighbors and working together. It truly is inspiring.Also, for as much devastation as there is, the stories of God's mercy in so, so Read more:Update
Tiny Town Will Never be the Same... 2008-05-26 06:47:00 We had a tornado hit our tiny-town, last night around 5PM. The boys and I were in another town for a graduation, but Ben was home, and in the basement. I was able to get back into town around 8 last night, and just sobbed driving through town to get to our house...trees are down everywhere. Our home and everything is fine.A few minutes after I got home, my friend Shanon, pulled into our drive, sti
Today... 2008-05-28 11:13:00 This song sums up life in tiny town today...I'm sure I looked like a crazy woman as I belted this at the top of my lungs in my mini-van. Life is good. Read more:Today
