Never A Dull Moment

I've done it. I've officially fallen for the iPhone. He said I would love it; that I could do all kinds of stuff with it. "I don't need all that. I just need to be able to make phone calls and send texts and occasionally take a picture or two!" Stupid, stupid woman! I didn't know about Angry birds then. I didn't think about the joy in searching the Internet at a moment's notice. (Got a question? I can Google it!) I have music at my fingertips and Facebook and email! The whole world has opened itself to me. I can even post to my blog from this thing! I know you are 'oohing' and 'ahhing' over this great feat! I was going to attach a picture of the great shoes I'm wearing today but I couldn't figure that one out. Give me some time, I'm sure it can be done! Oh well, don't tell The Hubs he was right!

I have stacks of old photos in boxes and huge folders of photos on the computer waiting for me to do something. Some ladies use eyeshadow and blush and look gorgeous. I feel painted if you can "see" my makeup.  Some mothers have toddlers that can read and write,...

So, what have we been up to over the last few weeks? Where do I begin?! After the AMAZING Women of Excellence Conference (really, the best one yet), we had a quiet week (except for the whole run-out-of-gas fiasco) to get back in gear and get ready for baseball. My parents came and left and then came again (God bless them!) and kept the kids for us to go to The Remnant Pastor's conference in Baton Rouge with our church staff.  I still have a lot of processing to go through all my notes from that conference. The teaching was powerful! The Hubs got to shake Reinhard Bonnke's hand and got him to autograph his book.We got to spend some quality time with our staff too! Oh, I've had a birthday since the last time I posted.  It was exactly the kind of birthday I like to have - a day full of well wishes and people just making me feel special! It started a day early with not one, but two homemade pies waiting for us when we got home from Louisiana (Thanks, Mom!)  I had to get b...
