Yearbook

I know I talk about Muncie a lot, but I've figured out why.  If living in Brasil molded me into who I am now, then my time in Muncie refined me.  (As I follow that train of thought I come to the conclusion that my time at Purdue then polished me.  I guess that just leaves my life as wife and mother.  Ah, but of course.  That is my time to shine, yes?  Oh, brilliant.)

That is not what I am here to talk about today though, so back to Muncie.  I got ahold of all my yearbooks from high school.  OH good times.  Want a peak into what people wrote in my yearbook?

I'll leave out all the "have a great summers", shall I?

- For a girl in which I want to get a hook up. - Wes (His handwriting was so bad this easily could have said "book up"... not really sure.)
- Stay a smart doof, with your cheesy self. - Alison
- I've always loved you. - Shaw
- Remember I love you very much. - Shaw, the following year. (How sweet.)
- Don't let anything bite you (like shells.) - Amy B.
- You hurt me all the time. Physical abuse! I'm sorry to hear your family smuggles drugs from Mexico. - Trevor
- Me with my skills and you rebelling. Well, I hope you survive with all the scary people. - Unsigned.
- No I will not step in to your office. I am not emotionally unstable. - Alison
- To a girl I met this year from Brasil hope to stay friends I come visit you in my airplane. - Jeana
- You are never going to find out who I like. HA! Anyways get a life. - Al (She would later become my best friend, and I definitely found out who she liked. No worries. And I did get a life too! YES.)
- B. Dogg the pimp is yo boy so keep this autograph and one day it will be worth millions. - Brennan (I didn't learn what a "pimp" actually was until about two years ago.)
- I will never forget your face and I hope to see it next year. - Moses

And the "Mormon" ones:

- Drink Sprite. - Scott
- Over this summer lighten up and drink a beer or two. - Landon (Sorry to disappoint Landon.)
- The Mormon - I don't blame you for being one, everyone has their faults... you're rad! Bye bye Baby. - Pat

So I realize that a lot of these were inside jokes, but sadly, I don't really remember anymore what they were actually about. Somehow though they are still funny. Is it just me? Probably. But now if my house burns down grabbing my yearbooks is one less thing I have to worry about. Phew.*

*Except for all the sweet messages from people that I actually have kept in touch with and probably do remember the inside jokes with... hmm... I guess I'll still have to grab the books on my way out.

And one last thing. Would you like to see the "Twisted Sisters" picture? It got a full two page spread in my senior yearbook. It's a delightful photo of my sister and I. Shall I post it?

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporat...

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stair...

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took ...
