Birthdays: Video Fixed

Alright, listen.  Well, first of all, let's do this right.  Happy Birthday Michelle!  I hope it was a magical day full of cake and laughs.

Ok, now back to me.  As some of you know, it is my birthday in a few weeks.  I've been thinking a lot about this whole thirty thing.

Also, I've been listening to Taylor Swift, in particular her song, "22".  AND for some reason, Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" has been in that rotation, as well.  All this leads me to asking for a favor from you.

Yes, from you.  If you're sitting there right now, looking over your shoulder, and thinking that surely I mean someone else, you're wrong. I mean you.

And it isn't much, what I'm asking. Not really.  Just put on T-Swift, "22", or really any other song that makes you feel like dancing, and dance.  And record it on video.  And email it to me.  Or, upload it to google drive and share it.  Or, put it on a disc and mail it.

I don't care how you do it, just do it!  Come on! Let's dance!  I'll do one too, I promise.

To start us off, please enjoy this little thing I pulled together tonight.

Come on, for my birthday?  Please?  I'll do the same thing for you, on your birthday, if you'd like me to.

A few things to note:
Your video clip does not have to be for the full duration of the song. I'm just crazy about dancing, is all.  Send me what you can!
You do not have to dress up like a wild person with red lipstick. If you want to, go for it. Otherwise, just shake your stuff however you are dressed.
It's for my birthday!!

    Ever watch the show 'So You Think You Can Dance?' It's my favorite. A few years ago, they started celebrating National Dance Day. They post videos of a couple different routines before the big day (one for beginners, one for the not-so-beginners), and people learn them so that they can record themselves and send in their videos of them dancing. Or they do flash mobs that day. But it's kinda of cool to see people from all over the world dancing the exact same dance on the exact same day. Sounds like your kind of party, huh? :)

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 ...
