Just got home last night. I wrote this yesterday.
The best thing I can think of about this vacation is actually more than one thing.
The food. Garrett has cooked for us nonstop since we arrived. He’s not gourmet, but man is he ever close. WOW! Melon and chocolate the first night. Eggs, ham, cheese and potato [...]

All the Blessings
All the blessings I can think of are right here, right now:
Mindy came today to help pack up and move out. It was good to see her and talk with her. My sweet Mindy Lou Who.
Rob is amazing. I already knew that, but reading through our letters from High School and after, I see that [...]

En Route
Rob and I (and the dogs!) spent the night at The Parsonage on Saturday. We had a marathon church day yesterday (8:30AM until 9:30 PM with only a 3 hour break in there!!!!! Oh how I love Lent…. hmm)
It was bitter cold, and my doggy refuses to do his duty. So we walked and walked [...]

Merry Christmas 2008
Every single thing is changing. Nothing is left out. But the Lord is still on His throne. He will provide. He alone is my strength and salvation. Praise to His name. Amen.

Is This What I Signed Up For?
Appointments. Appointments. Appointments. Appointments.
Seriously folks, I am drowning in calendar boxes completely full. Stormy has a lawyer appointment tonight, then wants to go shopping for a Halloween Costume. Tomorrow, I rescheduled her psychologist appointment so it doesn’t conflict with my nail appointment (I mean, one MUST have priorities!) so Stormy’s phych appt is on Thursday [...]

Love Is All Around
Tonight we watched Love, Actually. It was sweet, but I don’t believe I’d watch it again. I was glad when Stormy left the room because, HELLO, embarassing. We never have rated R movies in this house, so I wonder how this one filtered through the Netflix Queue. Hmm.
It was a great day today. Stormy had [...]

Whom Shall I Fear?
At the end of “Who Am I” by Casting Crowns, is the lyric:
Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear? Cuz I am yours. I am yours.
Here’s the video to play whilst reading this message, written especially for my darling sister, Dotty.
I used to be very afraid, all of the time. [...]

Leaving on a Jet Plane
… and I’ll be back on Thursday Night.
I’ve run the gamut of emotions today, and now I’m just resting in uneasy excitement. This is a tremendous honor to be chosen to run this department, and to represent out company in Minneapolis. Plus, I love playing around with pictures.
NW flight #3785 is leaving from [...]

Pondering
If The Award went to me, Jayleigh, my speech would be as follows:
First and foremost, all Glory is God’s. You see nothing likeable in me that comes from me… I was blessed by the Father. The light in my eyes is the love of Jesus shining through. I am in His hands at all times [...]

Chocolate Chimi and Rob
I had to take a picture of this, because I wanted to ALWAYS remember it.
We were in Cross Lanes, West Virginia (just north of Charleston, WV), a place we often stay when traveling to/from South Carolina. It’s about an hour past the mountains and there are lots of cool places to eat and shop and [...]

Ken and Rob
Ken, our brother, who is older than dirt. along with MY SUPERMAN, resting after their gluttony at The Golden Coral.
Ken is Rob’s brother-in-law. For the past 17 years that I have known him, I’ve sung the “Daniel” song by Elton John, only obviously I change the lyrics. He has 3 brothers and no sisters and [...]

Serenity
I took this photo at a rest stop somewhere in the mountains in Virginia. It was near Bluefield, I think. I really liked the raindrops. The sad part, though, is the fact that you cannot see the mountain behind it because of the fog. The whole trip down was like that. Oh well, we saw [...]

Hot Bologna…. YUCK
This was in Hurricane, West Virginia. Makes me really grossed out, thinking about that. Rob likes Hot Bologna, though.

The Gas Cap? Sheeeeesh!
Ohmigosh. What a relief!! The Guy came out to the car and hooked a little machine up to something on the driver’s side underneath the dashboard. The machine made some little beepy noises and the guy looked at Rob and said, “Check the gas cap.”
Rob: The GAS cap?
Guy: Yeah. Check it.
Rob: Seriously?
Me: Really?
Guy: It’s leaking [...]
