Long Update in Pics


Sometimes it is easier to update in photos! I am all about ease . .

A couple of weeks ago I read this article in our local paper. Cracks me up every time I re-read it!



Jason's birthday was May 19 and we celebrated by going with a group of friends to the AllStar Race. Typically we go every year. I missed last year, so this was my first race in about 2 years. It was a lot of fun! I got this shirt to wear and have worn it at least once a week at home ever since. It is so comfy!

 

Gracie desperately needed a haircut. She was beginning to look like a HOT mess! Anyway, this is her the day before . . cheerful and loving. Playing with her toys and acting normal.

 

This is what she is like after. She hides, acts like someone has hurt her feelings and plays with nothing. She was like this for DAYS this time. We had to make her eat and drink. Jason wants me to learn to cut her but there is just noway. She would act like this no matter whose job it was!

 

My cousin- first born to me- graduated this year!! Talk about feeling old! We went to his ceremony last week. We ended up sitting on the hill b/c it was hot and muggy and I didn't want to be in the big crowd. A week before the actual ceremony I sent him his card and $$. As I sat down to write in his card I ended up really over doing it. All these memories came back and I just wrote them as they came to me! I cried the whole time. Happy tears of course! Everyone got a kick out of it and he loved the card (probably the $$ more)

 

This very morning at work I had my first work related accident. I work in an office, so this is very hard to do- but I found a way. My big toe got caught under the commercial front door that we have as it was closing shut. Oh.my.word. I got hot flashes and began to limp.

 

Thankfully it was short lived!! I put some ice on it and it seems to be feeling better. All of the people in my office made fun. It hurt really bad :(

 


I ordered 2 books recently. One on the recommendation of another blogger and the other was due to an excerpt I read in a Christian magazine that just felt like it was written directly to me.


My habit is to start both books at once because I want to devour them as quickly as possible. I am not doing that this time. I started The Land In Between and am taking my time. I have just gotten through the first section and it has knocked my socks off. God is doing lots in our life right now. We are excited and embracing Him like never before.

Longest update in history and lots of pictures. Friday is just around the corner!
