You were always on my mind

So, I've tried to post several times over the last month, and just couldn't seem to make it happen.  No deep thoughts that I wanted to share. Nothing incredibly interesting going on.  Just life.  The good, the bad and the ugly.  But I've thought about it often. . .
If you noticed the picture change, we had a grand time at Disneyworld this Spring.  We were given an opportunity that we couldn't pass up - a chance to stay for free!  Four days of travel to and from and 4 days there - 3 of which at parks - and we had a great time.  I think that was longest time the 5 of us had spent together, ever.  There were lots of laughs and a birthday celebration for Kid #1. It was the first real family vacation we've taken that didn't involve staying at my parents. 
We survived another baseball season and Kid #2 in the AllStars - thought we were done, but got a call last night that Kid #1 was asked to fill a spot.  So, here we go again!  Good thing we love baseball - and our boys! Kid #3 started preschool this week and has done really well.  We've only had 3 out of the 4 days with mini-meltdowns as we head in, but they end quickly and she enjoys the day.
The Hubs and I celebrated 15 years of marriage last month.  Can't believe it's been that long, 15 years sounds like a LONG time. We had a nice date night that involved the best steaks we've had in a while and a pleasant evening listening to live music and walking - and, there was ice cream.  I sure like that guy!
Took the kids recently and spent a glorious weekend at my parents house - swimming, reading and relaxing.  We had a blast - but missed The Hubs.  There might also have been some home-made sugar cookies involved.
We are riding the wave of ministry, enjoying the highs of God's faithfulness and sharing in the lows of people's burdens.  The resounding message lately is that God is GOOD.  It's amazing how easily we forget that when things get tough. But He never changes! It's amazing how He shows up at the right time, every time.  And His Spirit draws us - do you notice?

I am a Promise!

I am a Promise! I am a possibility.   I am a Promise,   With a capital 'P'. I am a great, big bundle of potentiality!     And I am learning to hear God's voice. And I am trying to make the right choice. I am a promise to be anything He wants me to be! (My future scientist, artist, engineer and vet are courtesy of the Houston Children's Museum.)

Stupid is as stupid does

Ok, so have you ever had one of those days where things are just messed up?  That was me today. I stayed up too late last night so it was hard to get up this morning.  Had to be at work for an 8:00 meeting and caught EVERY red light between my neighborhood and work.  No big deal, they weren't ready to start when I walked in (with my supervisor) at 8:05.  But, in order to get there even close to 8:00, I skipped making a stop at the gas station to fill up.  I did the math all the way to work - when did the light come on? How many miles had I gone since then?  After work, I planned to stop at the nearest gas station - but, you guessed it, I didn't make it.  Nothing like running out of gas in rush hour traffic! I sat there, embarrassed, trying not to look at the people glaring at me as they passed me - I was stopped just shy of a major intersection.  The Hubs was close by so he came to my rescue - but my car keeps the radio and lights running for 10 m...

Winter Storm 2011

Well, I think we're going to make it. The threat of 5 inches of snow is now past - and we've not missed a single moment of electricity or heat. The biggest dilemma at our house is that the Xbox won't play right now.  Kid #1 continues to ask "What are we gonna do today?" and we finally answered with "Nothing!" I do need to introduce you to the newest members of the family. . . The two tetras have been around for several years and just got upgraded to a bigger tank. They have now been joined by 2 beautiful guppies and a molly.  None of them have been named yet, but I'm putting in my vote today: the black one should be 'Vader' (as in Darth), and I think the guppies should be Phineas and Ferb.  The tetras would have to be 'Peat' and 'Repeat' since you can't tell the difference between them.  What do you think?  (Which is funny that I ask, because a. you probably won't respond and b. they're not my fish to name) I...
