thursday

i don't really have anything to blog about today. so i think i'll just post some random facts about myself that no one ever really needed to know :)

never let a girl named pancake wax your eyebrows. yeah, that happened.

grapes tear up my stomach more than krystals.

i can never have too many post-it notes, sharpies or flare pens.

i eat the same thing for breakfast everyday and have for basically 3 years.

i dont like overhead lights. only lamps.

i have to lay on my stomach or left side to fall asleep.

i love squirt butter. (strange, i know.)

i love to fill out forms and check things off a to-do list.

mouth noises make me go insane. i have to pray about that. i break into a sweat.

i've always wanted to be a waitress.

i pray (almost daily) for hand-me-downs.

i'm terrified and excited to be a mom one day. (whenever that may be.)

if i could eat whatever i wanted and never gain weight...i'd live on peanut butter, french fries, trail mix, birthday cake and hummus!

if i'm ever sad and jay starts dancing like bill cosby, i'm automatically happier.

my mom is my best friend.

i hate putting on makeup. most days i dont.

sometimes when my cell phone is dying i think my car needs gas (and vice versa.)

last one for today - everything has to be in its place before i go to bed at night. even my purse.

    i wish i could get away without makeup, but whenever i try it someone thinks i've been bawling or i'm really sick. i blame this on my see through eyelashes. i'm dying to know how bill cosby per jay dances, and i'm realllllly dying for you to come straighten my house. being a waitress is way worse than whatever you've imagined, and you're going on my google reader. the end.

Realizing more & more about this move...

It's been just over 4 months since we left GA. I can't even begin to tell you all that these 4 months have brought. But I'm going to try... Leaving Columbus was hard. Leaving family was the worst. I'll never forget that last Sunday with my family. I'll never forget weeping through church sitting next to my family thinking "I can't leave them." I'll never forget crying...let's be honest...weeping the entire time I drove that Sunday afternoon. I cried most of Monday as well. (I'm crying now just typing about it.)  I knew I loved my family but the thought of not seeing them at least once a week broke me hard.  The first several weeks I cried every Saturday evening. I don't know what it was about Saturdays but I fell apart. I missed my family. I wanted to be able to see them at church the next morning. I missed my church family, my running buddies, my neighbors...I missed "normal" life.  But as the weeks went on the Lo

Lil update on us, Village Church and more

I just told Jay how much I love it here. I recently posted a blog about what the Lord has done in my heart here. I'm still not over it. My heart & mind feel as fresh as the mountain air. CHEESY but so very true and my heart is full. God has blown us away with His faithfulness. He is everywhere. He amazes me daily, hourly. He has helped Gabe's heart go from "I'm never leaving Columbus." back in May to "I hope we never leave Angel Fire, ever." I feel ya kid. I feel ya. Here's a few stories I wish I could tell each of you over coffee... One Friday night, a month ago or so, we made coffee and put out some snacks in preparation for our weekly service. (Still being held at our house for three more weeks!) We had a rather small group that night I think there may have been 10 of us. We began like any other night - in worship. We began singing our last song and I kid you not it sounded like there were 200+ people singing with us. At first I thou

i'm no expert

i do not claim to know ANYTHING about parenting. i've only been one 2.5 years and still text/call/email my mom and sister-in-law about everything. i'm pushing 36 so i'm not just out of high school either. but i have spent the last 15 years (between being a Young Life leader and working for Teen Advisors) walking through life with high school students and i've picked up on some things. i've mentioned some of these things before so forgive me if i repeat myself. the most important thing i've learned about teenagers - no matter how nerdy, popular, emo, cool, punkish, quiet, obnoxious, annoying they are - is that they desire CONSISTENCY. yep, they simply want someone to be consistent in their life. i have very little wisdom to share with the TAs i spend my time with. but i show up. i ask questions. i encourage them. sometimes i call them out on their foolishness. but i am THERE. so put your phone down, put away the computer, turn off the TV and spend tim
