And Some People Just Give Cards…

Today was my Hubby’s birthday…

So to celebrate, we got new tattoos…

(or maybe he was getting 2 and I knew I was gonna be there a while..so I got one too)

Apparently, we don’t know where the Hallmark is.

(…) punctuation abuse

I am well aware of the fact that I abuse the (…)

I use huge spaces and …and too many…

It might mean I’m thinking…

stopping the though there…

forgot what I was saying…

or my finger might have slipped…

I also enjoy writing my name in all lowercase letters…

that’s all…

So Now What???

 

I think I am having an early mid life crisis…very early.  :)

There is a great possiblity that all four members of my family will be in school come this fall…

1 in Kindergarten

1 in First Grade

and

2 in College… (that would be my husband and I)

lets see…

Getting married at 20…

Having 2 kids litterally in the first 2 years of marriage…

being a stay at home mom for 5 years…

Well, it hasn’t give me much time to consider the future…

So, that leaves me with the Question…now what do I want to do?

I had this all figured out when I got married. I had a perfect plan mapped out for us.

Thank God He sometimes saves us from our own plans…

We both have good Jobs…

I’m pretty sure we won’t be doing them forever though. (Ministry for sure, buy maybe not in the current format)

I like where we live…

But, I don’t want to stay here forever… (I need to live closer to a Chipotle)

I’ve discovered a so many things that I can do recently that I never even thought I could do.

So, now what?

Is this when you are patient and wait for God to open doors?

Is this when you activly seek  and discover where you should be going and make a plan of attack?

Any Suggestions?

Job Suggestions?

 (I’m not saying I’m quitting my current job, but maybe I just need a couple more…)

(I’ll take any job suggestions except my husband saying I should be tech support or the resident sarcasm adviser)

No words…

Go here to Ragamuffin-Soul and read this post.

You won’t be sorry.

I promise.

It is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a very long time.

Priceless…

Selfless…

Beautiful…

Nothing Better.

 

What’s one of the best feelings in the world?

When you finally give away or hand down all your kids clothes that they have grown out of in the last 2 years and you drive the rest down to the local Goodwill.

Empty Rubbermaid containers are a wonderful thing.

No Call Waiting.

 

 1896 Telephone (Sweden)

Another ”phone” song for you this fine Monday morning. 

Here is Jimmy_Little’s version of another song I remember from childhood…

 Royal Telephone, 1963 (Sold more than 75,000 copies - gold record status…at 75,000 copies someone loved this song)

I was born in 1981, so I’m not that old. I still remember it well though.

This song use to confuse me.

Mostly I wondered how the phone cord reached all the way to heaven.

The metaphor was lost on this kid.

I just can’t get into household appliances in my songs.

maybe it’s just me.

HE must have heard this song…

Pop Quiz!

 

If you have a petting zoo at your Easter Egg Hunt what would be the first thing the little baby lamb does upon arriving to said egg hunt?

If you guessed poop EVERYWHERE…you would be correct.

Shew!

He was so stinkin’ cute though!

(no pun intended)

Tomorrow…

Tomorrow is Easter.

By far my favorite Holiday…

The Fourth of July is next…(freedom, fireworks and family)

Christmas  is nice…(although, I don’t really care for Christmas music.)

But Easter, what a Celebration!  I get so excited about Easter.

Yesterday Jesus was crucified.

  Today….couldn’t have been a comfortable day for the disciples.

But tomorrow…

He comes back!

I love knowing the end of the story.

I’ve had one of my favorite Easter songs in my head all day. (and yes, I LOVE Easter music!)

And praise Him for the blood that fell
And bloomed a rose that day
And praise Him that He suffered through the guilt, the grief, the shame
Oh and praise Him that His tender love will still forgive today
Oh praise Him all ye people praise the King

Here is another video and song (an old, old, song…) that make me cry everytime.

Grateful tears.

We all have those moments…

 
 I wrote my husband this email today…
Dear Mr. Oliver,
I am writing this to inform you that your wonderful wife has created a wordpress account for you because she is tired of looking at the little gray icon guy.  It can be changed if needed go to www.wordpress.com and sign in before leaving comments.  You do not have a blog, only an account.  It is under your personal email address and the password is XXXXXXX.  Both can be changed as well as the picture.  Try it, you might like it. If you wish to remain the little gray icon guy, please disregard this message.
Love,
Your wife.
and then I accidentally sent this email to my father in law instead of my husband…
(it was easier than you might think, they have the same name!)
So I had to send another email…
To my father in law,
  Sorry, I sent the last email to the wrong Mr. Oliver.  Sorry. :)
Your daughter in law,
Amanda
 I’m gonna hear about this one.

Now I Remember…

We had a Talent show tonight at church.

I sang for the first time in probably 2 years.

 (at least solo and in front of a crowd…I sing in groups and in kids church often.)

I forgot how much I Loved it.

I might have to do that more often.   :)
