Good Friday

I realized that I blog more for work than I do on my personal blog.. (well I format and put together the blogs, details!) So I will try to do better about updating.


Today is Good Friday and I'm at work on my lunch break. It has been crazy busy all week long, which has been fun, because I've seen ALOT of students and ALOT of prospective students, but I feel like I haven't gotten anything done! Hopefully I'll get more accomplished next week.


Tonight I am going to our Good Friday service at church. I'm really looking forward to it. I went a few years ago and really enjoyed it, but the past few years I have left early in the evening to go to my parents for the weekend so I have missed it. Tonight I am going home late, around 9ish, so I can attend the service. Its a very solemn time of really thinking about what happened so many years ago and the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made for us, and his love for us. I think we all get caught up in the Holidays, getting together with family and friends and all the "fun" parts of it, but we never take time to remember why we celebrate and exactly WHAT we should be celebrating. So tonight, I will go to church and be reminded of why we celebrate Easter, and what Jesus has done for me.


After church, I will mentally switch gears and go meet my friend Jennifer and her two little kids. She just had a baby less than two months ago and I get to snuggle and cuddle with baby Tyler! I am sooo excited! I love bebbies!! :)


Speaking of cuddling I hung out with Katie and Joey last night. Sammy had allready went to bed by the time I got there. :( Joey is just so adorable. He is always so willing to share his video games with me, and makes me play them, even though I usually do horrible! He coaches me through them, which is hilarious, because he takes it so seriously, but his head is always in the way so I cant see!! And he wonders why Charity never wins any games.. :)


After we played games we listened to some music, specifically Joey's song, Slow Fade. He loves that song! We cuddled together and sang together untill the middle of the song when he decided it was time to break dance. I wonder if Casting Crowns knows that tehy have music you can break dance to? Someone should tell them. It was hilarious, he tried to do the worm, but, uh, well, the kid was going backwards! He never got the whole go forward part. It was so funny! Seriously, when I have kids, I won't need a tv at all. They are sheer entertainment!!


And a final super duper HAPPY HAPPY NOTE!! My friend, my Skipster, LISA is ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mark finally popped the question on their 4 year anniversary Weds night. I about screamed when i found out!! I am SOOOO excited for Lisa and Mark, and can't wait to help her plan her wedding!! WOOT!! And just for a point of reference here is me and the skipter! pimp and skip!!

Can I get a JESUS IS COOL???!!!

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...
