another legend??

if you have followed my blog at all you will remember that our little town spent the fall cheering on 2 locals in the next great american band. DMHO made it to the final three bands. it was quite exciting since our only other claims to fame here are scott skiles(you might have to ask your husband who he is, although he was just recently in all the news again!) and 2 of the three stooges.

this weekend my little town cheered on another local hero. nicole rash, miss indiana, was competing in the miss america contest. in all my years of watching miss america it was always someone from california or texas or south carolina or hawaii...miss indiana was always out in the first cuts. not this year..... miss indiana actually got first runner-up!!!! well, not only is she from indiana, she is from my home town!!! and just so you know how small this town is, she is related to hubby's uncle. small world huh?

so congrats to the next local legend, miss america first runner-up, nicole rash. it also seems bit odd that miss michigan won!! i guess these little midwest states are moving up in the world.

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 ...
