9 years ago

do any of you remember what you were doing 9 years ago today? what was the significance of that day? was there any??? this is what i was doing 9 years ago today...

...i awoke bright and early to a phone call from my best friend who was spending a year in poland as a missionary. she called that morning b/c we were both sad nothing could be worked out for her to be home that day.

...i had several friends in town visiting and hanging out with me

...my dad had spent the day before washing my car and the great little yellow bug convertable he had then(i love that about him!)

...i actually had a manicure and my hair done that day!! can you believe i had those things done???

...i ate a yummy breakfast of yummy muffins from where i worked -the old worlde cup

...i then put on this beautiful dress and had my pictures taken

...then i got to walk down the aisle and see my future husband waiting for me!!!

...then we actually let his brother marry us

...then God had blessed that oct. 24 with sunshine and 70 degree weather for a beautiful party in our local park's conservation clubhouse

...then of course we ate some cake, took some more pictures, and tried to visit with as many friends and family as possible

...next...we were off to indianapolis and i'll spare you those details!!

and 9 years later i sit at the computer in workout clothes with a cup of fat free yogurt, one child off to school, a dog on the couch, another child singing songs and playing ball, and a mountain of things to get done so that tomorrow morning my incredible hubby can once again whisk me away for a weekend far away from home, kids, responsibility, phones...

most importantly...9 years later i love this man even more and God has most definitely blessed us beyond our comprehension!!!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
