Home again, Home again

We just got home from our trip to the Chicago area. I will detail tomorrow, but I am tired, and I just wanted to let yall know we made it home safe and sound.

Good Weekend

On Thursday Tommy thought it would be a good idea to drop my cell phone in my water cup. Sounds like a good idea right?? I let it dry out, and it would turn on and everything, but it wouldn't pick up a signal. I was going to get a really cheap replacement until July when our contract is up and we could upgrade. Shannon let me in on the possibility of an early upgrade. I checked our account online, and YES! we were eligible for an early upgrade. Jason had Friday off, so we got up and went to Verizon and both got new cell phones. Yippy!! I got an enV. The only think I don't like about it, is it has the phone part on the outside and I have already unlocked it in my pocket and got on the Internet. Oopps. I love the keyboard part tho. :) After we went there we went to Overland Park (or Olathe, I don't know the difference) and looked at a Suburban. It wasn't all it the guy selling it made it out to be. It was alot more worn than we wanted, and once the guy found out Jason was a mechanic, he started revealing all the things that were wrong with it (oh yeah I forgot I needs this and this and this). Nice! Thanks guy! One good thing about the trip tho, we ate lunch at Chik-Fil-A. WHOOOOO HOOOOO!!!! I love that place, but there isn't once close so we never go there. It was yummy. When we got home, Jason got on craigslist and found another Suburban, called the guy and told him we would come look at it on Saturday. So, we did. We were at the guys house for 2 hours. The kids were playing in the dirt and we were talking to the guy. Finally we threw the car seats in it and went for a drive. Jason drove it for a while, then I did. We ended up getting it!! YAY! It's pretty! Jason is getting it legal right now, and I can't wait to start driving it. I can finally take people places. YAY!!

One thing about being out all afternoon on Saturday is I needed to get stuff ready for Sunday. I needed somethings at the store, and didn't remember until 11pm. So I went to good ole Wal-Mart at 11pm on Saturday night. Surprisingly, there were tons of people there. Even little kids. It was just like being there in the day. I got home, and finished my rolls, and was in bed at about 1:30am. Then, the lovely alarm went off at 5:30 so we could go to sunrise service at church. I was tired, but I am glad we went. I ended up leaving after communion at first service to come home and help my parents get the food ready. Then I had to go back because we were in the nursery. We came home, the kids hunted eggs, we had dinner, my mom, brother and I had an egg fight, everyone left, and I napped. Good Day! :) To top of the good day, my little boy said the absolute sweetest prayer at bed time.

Dear God,
Thank You for this day, and thank You for my family. Thank You for sending us Jesus and thank You that He sacrificed Himself for our sins. Please help me have a good day tomorrow. Amen.

How sweet is that?

Jesus Messiah

He became sin
Who knew no sin
That we might become His Righteousness
He humbled himself and carried the cross

Love so amazing
Love so amazing

Jesus Messiah
Name above all names
Blessed Redeemer
Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners
The ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah
Lord of all

His body the bread
His blood the wine
Broken and poured out all for love
The whole earth trembled
And the veil was torn

Love so amazing

Jesus Messiah
Name above all names
Blessed Redeemer
Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners
The ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah
Lord of all

Perfect Prayer

I got this from an email that Alanna sent. I need to remember to pray this every day.


Holy Father, I'm humbled at the very thought that I could be viewed as precious in Your eyes. Thank You for taking on my sin so that I could take on your righteousness. Please help me to see myself as You see me. Help me to thrive in Your beauty!

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

off day

Apparently I decided to take the day off from going to the Y. We got to bed late last night. Jason was working on a car (what else is new right) and didn't get done until late. I for some reason can't go to bed with out him. I have tried, but it doesn't work. I don't sleep until he is laying beside me. It's usually not an issue until I want to go to bed early, but he isn't ready. I set my alarm and when it went off at 5 I knew it wasn't happening, so I just turned it off. Then I didn't get up until 7:20, which isn't good because Jules is supposed to get here at 7:30, but until 7:20, I had for got about that for some reason. Then I had to get Trent up and around. I HATE getting up late and having to rush him. But, he made it to the bus on time, and I was up and around (mostly) before Jules got here. Now tho I feel off. I don't like that feeling. I am trying to get motivated to get some stuff done. Oh and trying to figure out what to do with the cat. TT isn't acting right again and I think he needs to go back to the vet. UHG! I am so over animals right now.

WHOOOO HOOOO!!!

I'm down 7 pounds!! :)

Feeling good

I got up and went this morning. There is surprisingly alot of people there at 5:30. I didn't stay as long as I will tomorrow, I was just trying to make sure I get back home in time for Jason. I got home, showered, talked to Jason and even had time to do my bible study before Jules got here. Now lets see if I can stay awake all day. :)
