The Apple

Darcy told us yesterday that the trinity was like an apple... the skin, the good part in the middle you eat and the core - wow

THANKS!

I really appreciate the encouragment that you all give me through emails, comments, phone calls and facebook. I'm very proud of myself for the things I've accomplished and I give God all the honor and glory. Its been a fun experience going to school... sometimes I think "what am I doing" but really I know this is the best for me and my wonderful family. And one day my ultimate goal would be to do medical missions... if not a permanant missionary overseas somewhere.... someday. I've met some really neat individuals... teachers and students. I've gained confidence in myself that I've lost over the years of 'just being a stay at home mom' and I'm happy and excited about my future. No worries. Long term goals are awesome... I challenge you to make some for yourself if you haven't already... and if you feel brave enough share them here.

"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3

and while I was trying to remember where that verse was found I ran across this one

"The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied." Proverbs 13:4... matthew christian standard bible says SLACKER instead of sluggard =)

More of the crew!

Monday Monday Oh Monday

First let me tell ya about my anniversary! HA! Some of you might have already seen my facebook status but just in case you missed it I will share again.

So I got a gift card to O charley's for my birthday... I HATE that place! LOL Matthew and I decided to go there for our anniversary dinner on Saturday night b/c we didn't need to spend money. We ordered their southwestern chips... too crispy and not enough cheese. Then came our main dish... Matthew ordered a salad and I had cajun chicken alfredo. I hadn't eaten half but definitely had consumed enough... I spotted a loop of something and started to pull "it" out. "IT" was the longest hair ever!!! It just kept coming and coming.... I was grossed out! The server took it a way and the manager came quickly. She insisted that I order something else.. esp after she found out it was our anniversary. I ordered a chicken salad but didn't eat much of it. It was time for the bill and our server came by to tell us that the manager had taken care of the whole thing.... I wasn't expecting it. So now I'm STILL stuck with this gift card! HA! I told matthew that had I pulled it out of my mouth I would have thrown up! We made a few stops before we headed home... Kirklands (my favorite store) and TJ MAXX I was looking for a purse but didn't find anything that I HAD to have. I had ordered some stuff from gatorzone.com and matthew ordered some books from amazon.... that was our presents to each other... totally fine by me!

Today I was called to sub at the school. 2nd graders! lol I spent most of the morning doing reading groups. I could quickly see whose parents worked with them at home. I had to be at class at 10 but my relief didn't get there until 10:15 so I was late for class.

When I went back to pick up my kids at the end of the day I ran into the relief sub... she said one of the boys had an accident in class and that the other guys made fun of him and she chewed em out. The guy had a tricky belt buckle on and he couldn't get his pants down in time. Poor fella... he was a really nice kid. I'm glad I wasn't there when it happened b/c I don't know how I would have handled the other kids making fun of him.

Its raining now and I'm surrounding by my little ones... Matthew's on his way home and Jessica is at practice. I'll have to get some studying it at some point today.

Thank YOU!!

Thanks for checking my blog to see if there's anything new... I'm sorry I've disappointed you lately but I've been really busy with school and stuff.

I did get a job today... details to come later (after I find them out myself). Its something I will be able to do from home :)

My hubby and I are celebrating our 6th anniversary on Sunday... not sure how yet but we're gonna!

I've got a few test/quizes coming up in my human anatomy and physiology class that I'm studying for so say a quick prayer for me.

I'll try to do better with posting :)

Oink Oink

Home from class... speech class that is. My professor/teacher/whatever is a skinny little black man named duan juan... or at least thats what it says on my schedule... but he wrote carlos on the board... go figure! We call him Dr. Morrison. He's funny... like really funny. Its a good thing since his class is from 8 till 9:15pm. He keeps me awake. He doesn't teach a whole lot... I guess its his way of teaching... mostly he tells stories. Life stories - the best kind. Tonight we talked about ethics and if there's a time to tell a lie. I said yes. I'd explain but I don't feel like it :)

Darcy missed school today b/c she was sick... but she went to the doctor and they said she was okay. So she's going tomorrow... its grandparents breakfast. I have class.... Biology 201 aka Anatomy and Physiology I... I have a quiz tomorrow and I'm also disecting a pig fetus. GREAT! Can't wait! LOL Actually I'm not worried about it... unless it smells... I'm funny about smells but hopefully I'll be fine. I'm hoping the other kids don't act stupid... I hate it when girls act stupid just for the sake of acting stupid.... so annoying!

This weekend is our anniversary... SIX years. We have nothing planned... not sure what we'll do if anything. Maybe snuggle on the couch and watch a movie... sounds good to me! We've joked about going to the drive end... maybe we can make out in the backseat :)

Our anniversary also marks another anniversary... we met Denise on our honeymoon and six years later we're still keeping in touch. Love her! She's been a great friend. She surprised me when I was pregnant with Darcy and came to my babyshower... I was soooo surprised and extremely grateful. I've been trying to get her to come back and visit me but I guess I'm just gonna have to go visit her!

Well I'm off to bed now... gotta get some sleep tonight... I kept waking up all night last night.

Oh and tomorrow I'll find out my grade from my last quiz... i'm pretty sure I did good. I'll be devastated if I didn't :(
