Well, I was mini golfing with some middle schoolers the other day. Every time I hit the ball I would say, “One…one hit. Ah! Ah! Ah!” In honor of The Count from Sesame Street. One of the girls eventually asked me why I kept doing that. I said, “I’m just impersonating The Count.” She gave Read More
Josh and I spent last night playing mini golf with kids from the youth group (and the friends they brought). We had a blast wacking our balls around, making up songs (with dances), sharing, yelling at our balls that don’t go the direction we want them to go, playing in the arcade. I didn’t get Read More
I’ve been reading this in Dr. Laura’s Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands. I found this part that not only relate to wives, but really to everyone. I’ve been really considering the difficulties that occur when people concentrate on their feelings too much. And, it seems to be largely what our media pushes. God’s Truth Read More
Josh and I came home from work today and dinner was ready! Josh’s folks are visiting and they totally made us dinner! It was awesome. I can’t remember the last time someone had dinner ready for me when I came home. Schweet. They’re doing a bunch of other stuff too…especially helping with our move. It Read More
Today: Sunny. High 79F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph. Currently 73F. Tonight: Generally clear. Low near 50F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph. *Steph makes a Nelson Muntz style Ha-Ha to all the people in the midwest.* My life is in boxes…but slowly working it’s way out. Josh’s folks are visiting this Read More
Darn it. I typed this once…and now I’m typing it again because I closed the wrong window without saving first. So, here goes…again…. I’m way tired today. I’m doing all I can to put on the brakes of my freight train life. I want it to slow down, but sometimes God has other plans. My Read More
…but the lemons are dropping everywhere! Not that any of my Minnesota friends will be able to help me with this. See, this new place that Josh and I just moved into has a lemon tree in the back. It’s very cool, but every day I pick like 5 icky lemons off the ground. So, Read More
They seem neverending. I’m amazed at how much random junk we have. I think I mostly finished the bedroom & kitchen and am now moving on to unpacking the bathrooms. Josh’s job involves anything with cords and plugs and stringing cords along walls. I hate those jobs. So, hopefully this will be done soon so Read More
Again, I find myself thankful for the normal everyday things that make you feel sane. After yesterday I was a little emotionally messed up and stressed. I woke up this morning (an hour earlier than usual because I had to go to a stupid meeting) and wanted the day to be over. I brushed my Read More
There was a brown out in Cupertino today. I noticed it as I tried to drive through Cupertino and couldn’t get through all the stoplights and stuff because the were down. Shops started closing down and people were all over the streets. I went back to our Cupertino house and tried to paint some more. Read More
