This is a pic of my little nephew. He’s not quite one, but wins the “adorable award,” eh?
Vacation!!!
So, we just got back from a vacation…the most FABULOUS, most relaxing, most enjoyable time ever. A few highlights and some “firsts” from the trip that I’d like to share… Randomness, but craziness…First, Michael caught a fish as you can see by the slideshow above. He didn’t do much thinking about where he’d place a fish after he made his catch…After quick thinking, he shoved it into HIS POCKET (with a zipper). He kept it wet by dipping himself in the freezing cold water. It was actually MY fleece jacket. Don’t know if I’ll ever be able to wear it again. Ewwwwwww…But, I enjoyed a huge laugh. Gotta love him!
Another “first” was to experience an elk pee in nature. Lovely. I’m sure she’d have rather me take a picture of something else, but she didn’t seem to mind too much. Personally, I think the park rangers secretly & strategically plant the wildlife so tourists like me can get some good snapshots of their trips to the Great Smoky Mountains.
Another “first” was to see a bear with her cub in nature. The bear climbed down the tree which was interesting to watch. Apparently the black bear enjoys relaxing up in trees. Another “plant” by the park rangers, I’m sure! LOL.
And lastly…You know how some people see sightings of the Virgin Mary in random things, such as french toast? Not me…I see pigs. On a road block barrel, the paint had chipped away to form a striking resemblance to an animal…whatta you think? 🙂
Okay, so here’s to randomness and a great vacation! Cheerio!
The best friend, best husband, best teammate I could have ever hoped for!
The first fish ever caught..for both of them. LOL!
My two favorite little kids in the world (along with our nephew, of course!)
p.s. In case you’re wondering, they’re not mine, but I love ’em like they’re family!

Dragging my heels kicking and screaming…
I’ve always hated the idea of a blog because I feel personally that I don’t have a whole lot to say that others would find interesting…should I blog about the fact that I returned a dvd to Blockbuster this week without the disc?…or should I blog about locking myself out of the house as Michael drove away with not only the keys to my car, but also the keys to my LOCKED house? Hmmm…Life generally isn’t filled with a ton of exciting news….Of course, there is always the church plant…the best, hardest, greatest, most challenging, most rewarding thing we’ve ever done. But, I don’t want everyone to yawn when they read my blogs… You see, I don’t have kids to blog about fun comments they say or cute things they do…Too many stories or pics of my dog and cat (Michael told the vet on Saturday the reason for Zip’s terrible teeth were due to Zippy’s smoking problem. The vet wasn’t amused.ha! ) would put me in the crazy category…
too many of me would seem narcissistic…
The one thing I love about other’s blogs are pictures. So, I figure I’ll add some pictures of random things. I still don’t think my life constitutes “interesting” enough for blogs. But, some pictures will suffice. Here’s to randomness…
Tonight, I made Bobo drinks for my friend. Bobo drinks are smoothies with black pearl tapioca balls in them. You drink them with a thick straw and slurp them up with the drink. If you ever go to Chicago, go to Joy Yee’s noodle Shop in China Town. They serve them there, as well as the BEST asian noodles/ food you’ll ever eat! Anyway, this picture is the tapioca pearls after they’ve been cooked, ready to be placed in smoothies. To see them in a drink, go here.
And here’s some recent pics of my recently painted bathroom. It’s pink. Not my idea of a “classy bathroom” BUT we have to leave it that way for the time being due to $ costs/budgeting. So, we painted it brown. Let’s just say, I had inspiration. LOL.
So, stick around. I’ll get the hang of this blog thing. I’ll put some fun pics on here. Maybe not with too much blogging, because I don’t feel I’m as interesting as others, but pictures…my personal favorite!
Aren’t you just riveted? Now you know why I shouldn’t blog…
