SIN CITY

And my first temptation was...

M&Ms.
In every color - 22 to be exact.
Make your own mix.
I gave in.
I love M&Ms.

I Earned My Wings!

It took me 35 years, but yesterday, I FINALLY took my first flight. I thought I might be nervous, but if I do say so myself, I thought I handled everything just fine. Here's a view of what I saw from my seat on the plane.

Go Get a Frosty

Saw this in Jamie's blog. It entertained me for a minute, and it's for a good cause...

Music to my Ears

Tonight we had a going-away party for "L" who is one of #2's BFFs. Her family is moving to North Carolina for a new ministry opportunity. So my house was filled with the sounds of 9 little girls who haven't been together for several weeks - giggles at the dinner table, shouting in the pool, stomping from the DDR, squeals over air hockey, snickers during photographs, footsteps trudging up and down the stairs. I love it. I love to see these little girls enjoying each other and having fun at my house. I hope there are many more fun nights for these little girls!

Farewell to "L" and her family. You will be missed. We love you!

TRUE LOVE


We've had some bad weather around here the last couple of nights. Nothing serious, just long thunderstorms. Buddy (our dog) is not fond of bad weather. First rumble of thunder and he's going to be under someone's feet or in #2's room. Well, #2 and I were watching a movie when the thunder started last night, and Buddy promptly jumped right up on the couch with #2 and stayed there for the rest of the movie. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more...

BLOG TAG!

Thanks to Casey for giving me something to do tonight!!

The Rules:

1. Post the rules of the game at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 3 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read the player’s blog.
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
