Movie Night

Growing up, my parents would never just let me hop to whoever's house I desired; they were very protective about what enviroments and friends I spent time around. This became more of a problem as I grew into my personality, you could say that I've always loved being around all sorts of people from an early age. :) {I often got in BIG trouble for prompting my friends and their parents to have me over, seriously.} I still clearly remember, my 8-year-old friend busting out "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" for a group of us to watch. A clear, PG-13, rule breaker! -Oh no she didn't!- And...to my shame...I took part.

Tonight, I plan to watch a movie with a bunch of good friends from my small group (#1). I'm grateful for a group of friends who share my beliefs & values & love me for me. I doubt we will watch good ole' Buffy, but I'm excited none the less.

Off the subject, I'm making a cheesecake that is better than _____________ {whatever you can think of to put in the blank} :)

I promise when I get my new blog up and running, I will be all about some blogging. For now, I am way to much of a perfectionist to overlook the things that annoy me on this page. :) Once the blog arrives, you will go all Han-Qui-Qui on me, and be like "Oh Shute...." If you don't get this video, google bon-qui-qui from mad tv.

lOOOOves & yUUUUcks!

Loooove:
~My house being somewhat clean! No dishes in the sink, one load of laundry
left, no dirty diapers around, and even a clean bathroom. What, what???!!
~My new business handouts are in with my new logo stuff! :) I also have a new
gifts in the works for my new brides from a southern photographer gal! :)
~The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. I'm pumped about my frugile future.
~My baby girl. It is so amazing to listen to her talk and watch her explore
the world around her. I could eat her up with a spork.
~Gone to Greenville! Come on people. Get on the train.
~Jesus. Praying really hard for Him to speak to me very clear about
some things. Can't wait!

Yuuuuuck:
~This stupid weather. How can I wear shorts one day and have to wear a winter
coat the next?
~This stupid cold. I'm so ready to be able to sleep w/o having to turn from
side to side in order to transfer my snot.
~The Total Money Makeover...This is going to suck and be very hard.
~Driving. Thankful for it, but I'm going to be doing a lot of it in the near
future.
~Worrying about my husband's test and next year's assignment. :/


Come and Get It!!!!!!

uh, no!

So in college, my roomate and I were asked to sing in chapel. (Brief: I went to a Christian college, and you had to attend a certain number for a grade. Some were good, some were not.) We were stoked and sang our little hearts out to the tune of "His Eye is On the Sparrow". My roomate, Stephanie (Holla!), has an AMAZING voice. I'm just ok. Any-who, we finished the song, the harmonies completed perfectly, and I have to say I was feeling pre--tty good about myself. That was until I got comfey in my seat and realized that my zipper had been down the entire time. I kid you not. It was like God was saying, "You think you have it all together and all figured out. Uh, NO! That would be my job!"

Scenerios like this come up quite frequently in this ole gal! And each time I thank Jesus that He has it all figured out for me. :)

Here are some more pictures from Jonathan & Melissa's wedding this past Christmas!

It was OK

You know how you love a movie so much, you talk it up to all of your friends. You tell them how amazingly awesome it was. How you cried, laughed, sighed, and loved it so much you'd watch it 100 more times.... Then, you watch it with your friend. You keep glancing at their face to make sure that they are feeling the awesomeness you felt the first time you watched it. You're distracted the entire movie, because you want them to love it as much as you do. Halfway through you are wondering why in the heck aren't they melting into a puddle of tears, and they definitely must have been spacing out when they didn't laugh at the funniest scene ever put in a movie. The movie ends, and your waiting on them to get on their hands and feet and thank you and Jesus that they were allowed to experience this greatness. Instead, they say, "It was ok".

And in the back of your mind, you can't help but wonder if you built the movie up too much before they had the chance to soak it in for themselves.

This is EXACTLY how I'm feeling about my website. I'm so stinkin excited I can't stand it. I hope it is A-mazing. But I worry that as much as I've been talking about it, you're going to get there and say, "It's ok". Problem is there is no stopping me from continuing to talk about it. :)
