Random thoughts

  • Just a few random thoughts. (just between us, random thoughts are much easier for me then writing-don't tell Abby)
  • Our mom is in Montreal. I'm so hoping she picks up a cute French phrase to teach the kids!
  • There is a cat stuck in one of our pine trees. No, it is not ours! Apparently it has been up there since sometime in the night (it is now 4:00 Wed afternoon.) She won't come down, so if you have any hints on how to get a cat down please let me know!
  • Last night's style show went really well. The models did an excellent job. They were all beautiful, and did such a good job of walking, or strutting, down the runway. Thank you for your prayers. I spoke on being beautiful on the outside, but having ugliness(like bitterness, anger, grief, etc.) on the inside. And how God wants to exchange the ugly for beauty. I'm praying my message got across and didn't sound preachy or like I was better than anyone.
  • I found out that when I am speaking to a group of people and all eyes are on me, that I forget to breathe. Which is really bad, because then my throat gets weird and I sound like I'm trying to catch my breath. I do this in all sorts of situations but tend to forget about it after the situation has passes. I really, I mean REALLY, need to practice breathing. (Need I tell you that Stephen and I almost got kicked out of childbirth classes the night of the breathing exercises? No? I didn't think so!)
  • Abby is sick today. She threw up 5 times today at work. She was in a meeting and had to keep getting up to go throw up. GROSS!!!!!!! She went home thankfully! I bet Randall is counting his blessings that he is working long hours this week!
  • Samuel's birthday party is Saturday. We are having a wienie roast and of course s'mores. If you want to come, you are invited!!!! Come on!
  • Kmart is doubling coupons up to $2.00 until the 5th. So, if couponing gives you a high (like it does me. I told Stephen this excited me as much as this being the opening day of hunting season does him!) then head to Kmart!!

I hope you have a great Wednesday night. AWANA here we come!!!

Abby had a migraine that in turn caused her to throw up. Nothing cooking up in this oven, I am sure of that.

Only "The Abster" would use a phrase like "Nothing Cooking Up In This Oven". Sorry you're sick, Kid.

I never doubted that you would "knock 'em Dead" with your talk, Jules.

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
