The Word and the Election

Proverbs 28:2 (Msg)
When the country is in chaos, everybody has a plan to fix it- But it takes a leader of real understanding to straighten things out.

Tonight is another Presidental debate. God, Let us have eye's and ear's to see and hear, who you need to run this country. In Jesus name amen.

The Word

Proverbs 25:13
Reliable friends who do what they say are like cool drinks in sweltering heat- refreshing! (Msg)

My Gallbladder

Well it is official. After an ultra sound and a Hida Scan, my gallbladder is not functioning properly. So I will have to have it removed. I go Friday for a consultation with the surgeon and then they will schedule the actual operation. I am not really looking forward to this, but at least maybe I will not feel so bad all the time. Hopefully it will cooperate while we are in Mazatlan!

Wow What a Day!

Wow this was a long day. We finally got the keys to our new house late yesterday. We of course went out to see it. Well to sum it up it was really dirty. So today we have been cleaning and cleaning and cleaning. We also (by we I mean myself, B, Z, L, my mom, Trav's mom, Jessie, Kai, my Dad for a little while, and Trav once he got home and before he went to City Band practice) ripped out the carpet on the main floor and upstairs, rolled it and labeled it (it is going to Jessie and Kevin), striped wallpaper, cleaned three of the four bathrooms, cleaned out the kitchen cabinets, cleaned a ceiling fan, and vacuumed the whole house (yes even the carpet we ripped out). After all of that my mom, Trav's mom, and I went to Lowes to pick out the new counter tops and paint for the kitchen and family room. Now it is 10:30 p.m. and I am dead tired but so keyed up I can't sleep. My mind is spinning with all that we still need to do! And to top it all off they are going to show the house we are living in tomorrow afternoon. So in the morning I will be starting off by cleaning and getting this house ready to show!!!! No wonder I can't sleep and feel sick to my stomach.

I'M BACKKKKKKK!!!!!!

O.K. enough already. I will post something. I really have like 10 min. before I have to rush out the door and pick Zia up from school, wrestle her into her leotard, and dash across town to ballet. While Leighton complains that he wants to stay with Brenna and he needs a snack for the hundredth time today.

Things have been quite crazy with us lately. Most of you already know that ;) So here a some post that I have thought about doing but haven't had any time too.

Our trip to Aruba- Wow it was so beautiful. Leighton thinks everyone should go with us next time.

God's amazing provision of a house

The saga of Leighton and his ears.

Zia and her excitement over losing her tooth.

Brenna's high temp and sore neck yesterday. Scared me a little. She is doing better today.

Having our house on the market! Yikes that was a lot of work :) Think I would be better at this by now!

Pictures and more pictures.

How I thought I might crash my computer!

Where are we going to live?

And the list goes on and on. Maybe someday I can sit down and actually write about a few of those. Now that you see what I was think about blogging about. You really haven't missed much. Maybe you all should vote on your top three and maybe I will be able to get one of them done sometime.

Or maybe not!

Homeward Bound

YAAAAAAAA HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! We are moving home! Travis got transfered back to Robinson as their PDU Manager. We are beyond excited. Don't have too many details yet with a date or anything. We still have a lot to do here to get the house ready to sell and then house hunt there before we can schedule the movers.

Yum!!

You will never guess what I had for breakfast this morning! It was so good and brought back some childhood memories. It was a fried egg sandwich. And man was it good. For some reason (maybe Mom or Dad can help out with this) any time I eat one I think about when I was little and my Dad and Uncles sided our house. I think my mom made a whole big bunch each morning for the crew before they started working on the house. (I guess I thought I was part of the crew:) Anyway this morning I was frying myself some eggs for breakfast and with the second one I broke the yolk so I threw it out and tried again. Well I did it again. So this time I thought I might as well just make a fried egg sandwich. Boy, am I glad I did. It was so yummy. So now go fry yourself an egg and make a fried egg sandwich. You know you want to.
