Double Duty

First, Happy 18th Birthday Aaron! You are getting so old! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Aaron is a skilled guitar player. His laughter is infectious, usually because you don't hear it often, he's kinda a serious guy, so when he does laugh you know it must be funny. Usually only Evan can get him to truly laugh. He is handy and helpful. He works hard at school and work, an ethic he has inherited from our Dad. This young man was my first Partner in Crime and I won't make it public about how I used to dress him up and put make-up on him...whoops. Happy Birthday Aaron!

In other News, It's HALLOWEEN! Happy Halloween! No, I don't have any extravagant plans, or a costume. Senor Smarty Pants and I carved pumpkins last night. I had a very sheltered childhood and had never used one of those kits for carving pumpkins, you know the kind with the stencils. So I got ahold of one and tried them out. They work pretty slick. The two on the outside are mine and yes Senor Smarty Pants chose one of the most difficult patterns. I know myself well enough to start out easy, so I don't get frustrated. 

He really did awesome. I know I was impressed! 

Have a safe and fun Halloween! Eat lots of Candy! 

Blessings!

Week 10

I had fall break, which basically was a deep exhale. That is why I've been on a week long sabbatical. I'm in week 10 of my Junior year of college. I've been a Junior forever it seems, and that title isn't really going away anytime soon it looks like. But anyway, week 10! That's where I am and thanks to Fall Break, week 9 seemed basically nonexistent. I went from week 8 to week 10 fairly seamlessly.
Here's the rundown of my week:

Monday-No class-get hair done

Tuesday-No class-lay on couch

Wednesday-Class and babysitting

Thursday-Class then go home-watch football and freeze

Friday-Lay on Senor Smarty Pants couch. 

Then came the weekend and well it looked about the same as Friday. With some Husker football thrown in the mix. Ahhh week 9 you will be remembered fondly. If only Fall break and week 9 were real life...

Blessings!

Today

Today is a day. I say that with exasperation, and it's only 10:49 as I type this. It's a day when I woke up feeling down. I could not get motivated to get around, I just wanted to sit on my bed and stare off into space. Not even my normal things that bring my spirits up on a daily basis aren't workin' for me today. I don't have much to say except SIGH. Normally I wouldn't let myself touch my blog with a ten-foot-pole when in a mood like this one, but as I was driving to school a song came on and a few lyrics stood out to me:

Cause He made you to do 
Every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face 
And tell the story of grace 
With every move that you make 
And every little thing you do 


I was supposed to hear this song. "And tell the story of grace" is the main one that struck a cord with me. So, that will be my mantra today, I will have to remind myself more than normal, that's for sure. 


Blessings!
