dilemma

we got in at 4:30 this morning from a Hillsong United concert in Nashville. I have girls sleeping all over the house. I am trying to be very quiet, even now I am typing super slow as to not disturb the sweet girl on the couch 2 feet away. Here's the dilemma. I threw my old razor away and HAVE to get a new one, it's 90 degrees outside, I'm wanting to go to the park with Oliver, I don't want to wake everyone up by going through my room finding clothes to go to Wal-Mart in. So, unshaven legs to the park or waking up very sleepy girls to quench my new razor feeling? I am going to try to be ninja-like and tiptoe around to get to Wal-Mart. I'll let you know how it goes.

Oh yeah, keep reading, soon I have a HUGE post coming about this crazy week! Highlights?

sad day

I am so sad to hear about so many tragedies that happened over the weekend. It seems that months can go by without anything going seemingly , "wrong" then all of the sudden, tragedy. There were 3 people that I know of that lost their lives this weekend, one being a 14 year old boy who took his own life. I heard someone say this weekend that he could never understand suicide. I can't imagine not knowing for sure where I was going if I died and then taking my own life. How sad that there are people walking all around us that are so hopeless they would go to extreme measures like suicide for some "relief". It is not enough to have salvation for myself. To be in relationship with God and know that I will spend eternity with Him. I want to re-evaluate how I live, I want to be open about my Faith to live in a way that offers others hope.

I was also so bummed out about Jon and Kate. I really hope they will seek God's will for their marriage. I feel like a stalker even mentioning them in my blog.

On a happy note, Oliver just went to the door all by HIMSELF!!! He went right outside and peed! I'm SOOO proud!

short week

I just realized that tomorrow is my LAST day this week! I'm headed home for my sister, Hannah's high school graduation and taking Friday off. Not only do I have a short week but it's Oliver's first "overnight"...I am just hoping he doesn't freak out! My dad's poor cat is in for a treat!

Oh, and I was introduced to the coolest site today that you should check out. It's www.picnik.com
it's for anyone who can't afford Photo Shop. I spent hours on there today and I'm thinking I'll be doing a lot of editing this summer! Seriously, check it out!!

Sunburned??

I know I'm very pale complected. In fact, I was told last night that "white is weak"! Today, I was only outside for a couple of hours manning the "balloon bust" game at our Math Olympics and my arms and face are scorched! I guess white really is weak. How sad.

However, I am loving the book I bought on Saturday, "A Bride in the Bargain" by Deeanne Gist. I am completely and totally addicted to reading. If I could get paid for reading books, I would do it all day long! I discovered how much I love to read last year when I began teaching middle school and was encouraged to read the Twilight series. Well, I can't stop. Seriously I have a problem. Luckily I'm broke so when I finish this book I'm done until I get paid again.

I have also recently learned that my new puppy, Oliver, has a few addictions as well. More on these later!

pointing

I have been resistant to blogging myself, but I LOVE to read others. I love to read other blogs so much, in fact, I want to be a "follower" of a few. So, in order to do that I must have a blog. So, I may not write much on here but you should read the one's I follow!
That makes the think that I should live my life in that way, confusing? Go with me here. I am called to live my life in a way that points to Jesus. If I am truly following Him, it's not about how I lead my life so much as who my life points to. So, just like my blog, you should check out Who I'm following. I am not interesting, quippy, or funny really, but anything that is good in me come directly from Him! He is worth following, worshiping, adoring, and loving!

Have a restful Sunday!
