Ten on Tuesday...(minus four)

1. I miss working with kids. That's about all I can say right now. My mom and I went to dinner last night and got to talking about my transition from the church, it's been hard. I know that God is good and He isn't finished yet but it's been hard. I thought I had moved on from it but last night I was reminded.


2. Some girlfriends and I have started a blog. It's a greaty daily look at women at various places in their lives and what God is working on inside and through them. Check it out! http://www.glowministry.blogspot.com/


3. I will openly admit that I am a radio game junkie. I like to win stuff! Yesterday I got an email that I had won a CD Prize pack from Willie1035.com. My new free CD collection includes: Martina McBride, LeeAnn Womack, Blake Shelton, and Jimmy Wayne. :)


4. I am super tired. The last two nights I have stayed up too late. Ready to get a good, early night's rest tonight.


5. Does anybody know how to link to a post within your blog? I want to use this on the GLOW ministry blog but don't know how to do it. We just wrote a "Meet the Bloggers" post and I want people to be able to access it without having to scroll through all posts. Maybe I don't even know how to ask my question....but HELP!


6. It's poopy outside. I don't like crappy rainy weather, it makes me feel real tired. And really it's just misting - is this what produce at the store feels like?

I seriously can't come up with four more. It's a busy week so sorry six on Tuesday it is!

Thankful Thursday

1. Warm Weather. I actually talked about getting outside and doing some yard work this weekend and I am looking forward to it. A little time outside with Tucker and the sunshine!

2. My family and friends that are supporting me in Relay for Life. I have already raised over $150 ... what's that? you want to donate too? AWESOME! I have conveniently placed the link below:

3. My job, I work alongside a lot of people who are working directly with folks being hurt by the current economy. Each day I am reminded that it could have very easily been me just a few short months ago. But Praise God! it wasn't. Not only did I get a job when I desperately needed one...I got one I really like!

Nope, Nope, and Nope...

No one got it this week. In all fairness this was a VERY open ended question, I was thinking about giving a hint but really that would have totally given it away. The answer was: Math Class. I would have totally been a statistic!

Ten on Tuesday...

1. Wilson Way Back Weekend was so awesome! We had a blast, and got lots of work done too! Grandma and Grandpa will be amazed. We not only built the pier but the girls weeded, raked, yanked up ivy (that we are not 100% Grandma wanted gone - but it's too late now!), and laughed. Man did we laugh, we enjoyed ourselves, and at the end it was clear, through my dad that it meant a lot to the older generations.

2. Brett and Mike were the team that ordered the needed materials. This is Friday night, Brett and company wanted to make sure they were organized and all set up to work on Saturday.


3. Here is Drew...it's weird cause he looks like he knows what he's doing. The guys worked on the pier pieces for most of the day on Saturday...in all seriousness they got it down to a pretty cool science.
4. Speaking of working with a purpose, the girls jumped on board with my plan, I dubbed it - the No Leaf Left Behind Project. We made sure that all the landscaping was cleaned up. It was hard work but made a huge difference! 5. Here is RJ testing out the new pier pieces!

Installation and RJ still testing. Doesn't it look great!?

6. Just an Ava update - yes, she is still the cutest baby ever!
7. Here's is the Wilson cousins, on the finished product...

8. Mike and I went to see Hank Jr. this weekend. It was awesome, we went to the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN for the show. Since it was Wilson Way Back Weekend, I wanted to make sure I left in time to go home and get ready for the concert. I left in time to get to Mike's at about 4 pm. We had gone through the whole time change discussion and decided 4 was the latest we could leave for a 7.30 (their time) concert start. We thought we were running just a little late, so we rushed to leave. Then as we were driving into Western IN we looked at Mike's cell phone only to realize that it was still 4.30 (because the time had changed) and we were a little more than an hour away. It is really hard to explain this story and I feel like it's not nearly as hilarious as we thought it was in the moment. We laughed at ourselves for not being able to figure out the time change....but also proud of ourselves because it was as if we had actually planned to eat dinner. WE WERE STARVING! 9. So....we get to the casino (figured it was just easier to get there and eat so we knew where we were going) and walk around - it's beautiful! - checking out all the restaraunts. We were both so hungry. The first place we saw was a buffet and it had a super long line. So we decided to go see the others choices. We walked around and saw an expensive steak places, little italian places, and a sandwich joint. The sandwiches didn't look very filling and seemed like a lot of money. So we decided, let's just go to the buffet, it may be a little more but at least we can eat ourselves silly. SO...we walk back to the buffet and get in the super long line. As we wait we were talking to some people in front of us who vacation to the lakes, where we live (we are so lucky!) and he said he overheard someone say that this buffet was $35 a person!

WHAT...$35 a person...for one meal...and I thought Golden Corral was bad.

When Mike first heard this he devised a plan, where I went in and ate, then snuck food out to him. Finally, we decided (well I decided, Mike still isn't sure about this choice) if we got out of line it would be too late to get something else. So we sucked it up and ate at the most ridiculously priced buffet ever. Did you know if you pay $35 dollars in a buffet, your diet magically disappears and you get to eat anything you want, well it's true. I wasn't about to pay that much for a salad...no we had crab legs, sushi, sweet and sour chicken, shrimp...oh, just thinking about it makes me so hungry! Oh and Bocephus was incredible in concert, something else incredible??? The number of mullets I saw that night :) Mike and I had so much fun laughing at: ourselves not being able to make simple time changes, $35 buffets, mullets, the different ages of people we saw at the concert (I am pretty sure there was a 75ish year old woman there, with a neck brace...oh yeah and three daughters with mullets...seriously).

10. So this weekend I got sunburnt outside...and this morning I saw snow on my windshield. It is April in Indiana after all!
