Fool Me Twice. . .

Okay. So you remember my pledge against designer jeans after my first pair ever (that I bought for $22 – 90% off) shredded in 6 months? And then remember how all of YOU kept going on in the comments about how GREAT designer jeans are and how I must have just gotten a bad pair […]

Surprise Fail

I went through the drive-thru at the bank yesterday, and while waiting for my deposit, was looking around their little cubicle (is it called a cubicle at the drive-thru?). There was a schedule posted on the wall, and the title was: Surprise Teller Audit Schedule Now, being a fan of FailBlog (although I will not […]

It Must Be Heartburn.

I’m feeling very odd today. Actually, I have felt bad all week. It all started Monday with waves of nausea all day long. Obviously, I took a pregnancy test, and it was negative. On Tuesday, I woke up with a sore throat, fever, aches, chills, extreme sleepiness AND nausea. The nausea got so bad by […]

Party ’til it’s 2009. . .

We had an absolutely AWESOME time with our Small Group on Wednesday night. We had them all over to our house for a casual New Year’s party. All of the couples came but one, which added up to 10 adults and 11 kids (it’s always great to be outnumbered). However, all of the kiddos were […]

But unlike all of the other bloggers out there who are taking “Christmas Breaks” or some other sort of nonsense, […]

This Christmas Spirit Brought to You By Red Mountain Music

Chris and I went to WorkPlay last night to hear Ashley sing with Red Mountain Music. Mom and Dad kept Ali overnight, so we made a rare “Monday Night Date” out of it. We had never been to WorkPlay before, and loved the setup! We got to sit in a cuddly, comfortable, round booth directly […]

And Christmas Kicks Off. . .

Chris’ Aunt and Uncle, Kitty and Leo, are staying with us this weekend so that we can “do Christmas” with them. Ali is in complete heaven. She’s been jumping around saying such things as “CITING!!” and “HAVING FUN!!” all day. Ali pulled Kitty into my office this morning to “play dough” with her. We made […]

A Christmas Story

Last night at small group, we did our “Christmas night”, which always consists of studying something related to, well, obviously the Christmas story. However, this year, Greg had the great idea of doing the Christmas story for the kids before they went to bed. Then Lydia took that idea and made it brilliant by gathering […]
