This is our last week before school starts so I have been trying to get things ready for the kids before they have to go back. We have to go get some school clothes, paper, pencils, etc. Also, Baby girl wants her room painted. We are trying to get that done this weekend so yes, I will have some pictures for you.
Also, I really want to paint my kitchen cabinets. Maybe I can do that this weekend while hubby and Baby girl do her room. If I do, then of course, I will show you how great they look when I am done.
I also have another project that I want to work on when all that is done, but first I have to complete the painting, then I have quite a few pictures I need to frame. So I will be pretty busy for a while.
I will put some before pictures of the room for you tomorrow. I have to tell you I think it looks pretty cute now, but Baby girl, won't be my baby girl for ever. Boo Hoo!!
Well, I did it, I made it through another week! This week has been pretty busy for me, not only did I work, every day, mind you, I had something to do every night.
School starts soon and baby girl is off for her 1st year in high school.
I can't believe it, I mean, where did the time go. It seems like just yesterday, she was starting preschool. And my baby boy is a senior this year. Yes, I said senior.
(sniffle, sniffle)
Man, somebody is getting old. (Their dad, he has gray hair.)
It seems like just yesterday, (or last week maybe) that I went to that school, now my kids are there.
It's funny, there were times when the days seemed long, but now the days go by so fast.
I hope this is a great year for both of them.
When you're young, school is not always pleasant. But, when you are out of school, I think most people look back and think, hey, that wasn't so bad. I mean after high school is college, then you have to get a JOB. Oooohhhh! You may even have to work EVERY DAY!!!
Have a great weekend!
We have recently started a new Bible study at my church, and this time we are studying Hosea. I have to say I had heard the story of Hosea a long time ago, but was reminded of it when a friend suggested that I read "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers.
If you have ever read any of her books, then you know how great she is. She has a wonderful way of telling a story while relating it to the Bible. I have read every book of hers that I could get my hands on and I have to say the last 3 that I read which were a series called The Mark of the Lion, these were my absolute favorites! They are GREAT!!!
Now that I've gotten my book review out of the way, I'll tell you what I have enjoyed so far about studying Hosea. I am amazed at the mans faithfulness in following Gods word. He listened to what the Lord told him to do and did it, no matter the cost. That is obedience in its finest. I mean God told him to find an unfaithful woman and take her for his wife. Not exactly acceptable even then, but he was a man of faith, so he did it.
That's faith.
In action.
Something the Preacher said that really stuck out in my mind was that true love doesn't begin with emotion, it begins with commitment.
Isn't it funny how love for us, begins with that feeling you get when you first start dating someone, you have butterflies in your stomach and you just can't wait to see them again. Remember that feeling? Maybe it was the way they looked at you.
Then you get married, and while some people still get that feeling, you learn that a lot of the love you feel comes from being with that person for so long and that you are committed to them.
Now that is something to think about.
This weekend we rented a few movies to watch.
First up was Mr. Wonderfuls' pick.
Now that is not to say that I didn't want to see this one because, I mean, come on people. It just really looks like a good movie, right?
Then there was the movie that I picked out.
I know, I know, we went from Vin Diesel to Adam Sandler? I can't help it I love a man with a good sense of humor. I love all of his movies, he is super funny, and while I know he is no Richard Gere, he is handsome to me. I guess it's because he makes me laugh, I love it when they make me laugh. And lets face it ladies, most men make you laugh at some point in a relationship.
You know it's true!
Anyway, both movies were good. Of course Adam gets the girl, he always does in case you haven't noticed. Except for that one depressing movie he did that time about 9-11. I tried to watch that one but I couldn't get into it.
Sorry, I just wasn't feelin it.
Of course, Fast and Furious was excellent, definitely a man movie, lots of action, fast cars, pretty girls, what more does a man want in a movie? NOTHING! Well, maybe something else, but I am trying to keep it clean.
I would also like to add that I have seen the Hangover this summer and it is by far the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. I went with 3 other girls and we laughed our heads off. Really!!! You really should see it if you haven't already but definitely leave the kids home for that one. But adults will love it.
So what have you seen lately?
Today is Mr. Wonderful's birthday!We have been married for 20 years this October. Twenty years, that is a long time. But it feels like yesterday.
He is sweet, loving, generous, kind, thoughtful, all of those things and he still puts up with me.
Happy Birthday!!!!
