Nothing like a brisk run in the morning!

I had a rather odd/frightening experience this morning.

I walked out of my apt building, only to come face to face with a very LARGE goose.

We stared down eachother for a second, and then all of the sudden it opened it mouth and started making this hideous noise and heading towards me.

Not one to stick around and find out what would happen next, I immediately started running for my life.

(And wouldn't you know it, I was parked almost to the opposite end of my building, thanks to getting home late the night before.)

I ran to my truck as fast as I could hearing it chase me as I ran, hit the automatic unlock button and hopped inside, clutching my huge purse to me. If I had been thinking straight I could have just hit the darned thing with my purse. That would have stunned it for a second at least!

I look out my passenger side window and there is the goose staring at me! It had evil eyes. I think it was glaring the death glare.

So I think to myself, HAH! I will show you stupid feathered friend, I'll start my truck and scare the goose poop right out of you.

Great idea in theory.

The Goose was not scared by my truck, but it was very angry.

I started backing up and it started flapping its HUGE wings and coming after the front of my truck! I managed to swerve by it, and drove off. I mean I do have a truck but that was a stinking HUGE goose. How would I explain that to the insurance company? Um, I'm sorry but this goose came after me and started attacking the hood of my truck. I had to be at work early and didn't have time to fight it off, so I just ran over it!

Yeah, PETA would be all over me..

I'm a slight bit afraid to go home tonight...

Geese can really be vicious!
Thanks for praying for our boys- someday, we'll have to meet at church!

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...

9/52

So I'm doing my best to get these weekly wrap up's done on Monday each week. Today has been a DOOZY. It's 9 pm and I am just now sitting down to check email and such. So if this post isn't the most well written, you'll understand once you read next week's wrap up about today!  In happier news we started off last week with my BIIIIRRRTTHHHDAAAYYYYY!!! And nothing says your Birthday like watching One Tree Hill and eating a piece of ice cream cake with lunch. Spoiler alert, I had a piece of Ice Cream cake every single day last week.  The chalkboard was updated, but sadly none of my pictures with said chalkboard looked decent.  I rocked my Be-You-Tiful shirt and a new necklace my Mom had given me.  And then I had a little photo session in the piano room with my balloons. Because, it was my birthday. and I was alone. So why not!  This is pretty much me in a nutshell... :)  Normally, I try to get work done before students arrive...
