Flashback Tuesday...

My little baby brother is playing middle school basketball. Yes it's true, nuts but true! I can't believe we've reached this point. His team is using the same uniform as the High School guys used back in my day. I always thought they were the coolest uniforms with their argyle down the side in red, white and black. It was all coming back to me as I was trying to remember what guy had what number. I had decided to make a 'date' with my senior yearbook on the couch. Just out of curiosity I wanted to know who's number lived on. One of the girls in TJ's class that likes him has my same jersey on the girl's team. When my mom told her she was thrilled! haha.

After his team's win to CSY (WOOHOO! Our rivals from way back.) we went to Rockwell's. I had the potato soup bread bowl- yum! It was nice to be us four again. It is sooo nice to be able to converse with my brother like we do.

I'm looking forward to some R&R at a resort in Virginia with Joe and couple who are friends of ours. It's so nice to have something to look forward to.

Morning jolt....

So this morning I woke slightly out of a deep sleep and heard Joe's alarm going off on his cell phone...for the...tenth time. Not really but you get the point. Then I was really shaken awake after it dawned on me (get it dawned? lol) anyway, I realized MY alarm hadn't gone off yet. What time could it possibly be? I leaned over and looked at my alarm clock on my bedside table- 7:30!!!!! Gosh dang it! I have to be at work at 7:45! Yep I got ready in SIX minutes! The fastest I think I ever did for work in my life. I threw on my clothes. Checked my hair- i'll pull the bangs up and it will have to do, brush my teeth, throw on my glasses, do a little quick make up fix to make me look awake and I'm out the door. I made it! THANK THE LORD!

Joe and I basically did a few things around the house and relaxed- which we hardly ever do and we are getting good at it lately.

Last night while we were at Joe's grandparent's for dinner there was an two car, plus tractor trailer accident RIGHT in front of our house! Craziness! I heard the siren and immediately thought of the candle I had burning in the living room before we left. Did I blow it out??? I can't remember! I remember thinking about remembering to blow it out before we left, but did I do it? Joe couldn't remember if he saw it lit or not. So I borrowed brother in law's jeep cheroke (I can't drive Joe's car because I haven't learned stick yet- don't get me started!) I tried to get there as fast as I could and the last road turn off before the couple of yards to our house was blocked off- crap! my heart started beating faster. I went down towards the high school it was blocked off. I rolled down the window and asked the police if I could some how get through to my house and explained about my dumb candle! They said to tell them at the other road block and I parked and ran down the sidewalk to our house. There were 3 fire companies there and apparently a sedan hit a jetta who ran into the tractor trailer's gas tank. Luckily no ruptures but they were cleaning up debri on our driveway at the sidewalk! I ran over to the neighbors and got a brief synopsis and me and the little neighbor girls ran over to our house and I checked on the candle- it was OUT! phew!


This is the candle that was burning...


Love it! Thanks mom!

Well that's all for today! Have a great night!

Has it seriously been two years??? Alot has changed. I'm more 'content' with the money thing. It helps when you are tithing the way you should. We bought a house last July 2009. We love it. We are settled and updating as we go. We tore out the old push button cooktop and put in flat to stove and oven. It was a good thing Joe and his cousin David (who he works with part-time and on the weekends) put it in when they did because we got snowed in the Saturday my mom and I were going to make cookies. So I was busy making chocolate chip cookies, PB cookies and sandtarts by myself. Needless to say I could have used my momma's expertise in this area.

It has been unusually snowy in this area and there is still some snow on the ground. Where is spring! Oh well if it's going to be cold it might as well snow!

Joe and I have decided that we are not going to 'prevent'. We are finally going to give it over to God. It is always His plan anyways right?! So maybe by this time next year we will have a little addition to our family. It's so weird to say that- I still feel so young. I was just thinking today how when I got married I didn't feel TOTALLY different but it seems like with having a child you will totally feel different. I don't know how to explain what I am trying to say so I will stop now.... :)
