FOR TODAY Wednesday, July 15, 2009

I''m going to try to keep this short.

Outside my window... I saw the deer again. I guess I am amused too easily by that. But hey! I'm from the city! You don't see that kind of stuff in A-town.

I am thinking...that I can't believe C-man is almost 2! Ever since I have graduated college, time has just flown! I taught a year, got pregnant, moved, got a new job, had a baby, and bought a house all in a whirlwind of time. Now all of a sudden, I've been married for 5 years and have a 2 year old!

I am thankful for...our jobs. We both have jobs that we love, that provide for us, and we both have "bosses" that are good to us. Even though they are rather "emotionally demanding" at times, I wouldn't want it any other way.

From the learning rooms...Well, Im learning alot from my Beth Moore study that I have started on Esther. It is challenging for me, and it goes really slowly to allow time to go more in depth. I like that.

From the kitchen...I feel like all I ever do is wash dishes because we have been eating at home ALOT lately. Which is a good thing. We are saving money because of it. Tonight we eat at church, so i won't cook. Tomorrow I am going to grill some chicken on the George Foreman and have some alfredo noodles with it.

I am wearing...jeans, a "school spirit" shirt from my old school in A-town that I taught at, black flops.

I am creating...well this should be interesting. But I am going to slightly re-decorate my living room today for under $30. I'm going to buy cheap sheer curtains, buy new pillows for the couch, and buy some stuff at the dollar tree! Ha! That might be tacky for some people, but I am excited to see if it turns out good. I don't always have the best eye for decorating, so we will see.

I am going...shopping today at Dollar Tree and Walmart.

I am reading...my Esther study, and still trying to finish The Shack. I'm slow.

I am hoping...its not too hard to get up early again when school starts.

I am hearing...Yo Gabba Gabba on TV (that is a bizarre show)

Around the house...clean dishes, and clean floors

One of my favorite things...Colin's laugh. We took him swimming yesterday at a public pool and he LOVED it! We wanted to see how he would do since we are going to the beach soon. He's never been in a pool where he couldn't touch the ground. The pool didn't allow him to wear his floaties (which I thought was dumb) so I was a little nervous. Especially when he got so comfortable with it and a little dare-devilish that he wanted SO BAD to jump off the side into the deep end like the big kids. He was not happy that he could not do that. But I am so glad that he wasn't scared of it. He had a blast and laughed/smiled the entire time.

A few plans for the rest of the week...shopping, church, visit Ms Betty, clean, pick up Colin's cake, have a partay! Then we are off to Mission Arlington for a week!

A picture I want to share...this was like 6 months ago at the city park. I just think it is a cute picture. What a precious face!
