Day 8 - One Week Down! Woo Hoo!

That's right . . . I have successfully blogged for one whole week. :)

Today was a great day. We went to Abilene today for a short while [2 hours] and I finally ordered my bridesmaid dress for Kandice's wedding in October and Karl got some pants from Kohls. I found some really cute heels at Shoe Carnival . . . I am totally thinking about buying them.

When we got back home we worked on the backyard for about 2 hours and now I am even more sore than I was this morning . . . who knew that Field Day would be so tiring? Jeepers . . . my whole upper body is so sore!

Karl cooked us some rib eye for dinner and it was really good. Now we are watching "Dumb and Dumber" . . . I forgot how ridiculous it is! Jeeze . . . and it was released back in 1994 . . . wow, who would have thought? And . . . we just paid the rest of our Cruise!! Woohoo! We leave July 23. :)

Exercise: None . . . :( I may go ahead and get on the WiiFit though in a minute - I am getting tired of the movie already. Other than the WiiFit, I worked outside with Karl moving cinder blocks. :) Oh yeah, just got done doing super hula hoop and burning 65 calories, then turned on Biggest Loser and burned 46 more . . . although I got a whole lot more sweaty the second time . . . I think their calorie counter is WAY off. Geesh . . . I am sweating like crazy!

Word: I was finally able to read Day 2 of this week's reading about "Your kingdom come". When we read this part of the Lord's prayer, it is stating that we pledge our allegiance to Him and by doing so put Him first. His kingdom come refers to Heaven and its coming to be on earth. We have to put Him first in all things or else our allegiance is not with Him. Several things in my life have been put continually in place of my allegiance to God, hence why I don't spend enough time in the Word. I have been so convicted lately when I talk to people from our church because they have such a knowledge of the history of the bible and the Word of God. I want to be like that and in order to do so I need to spend more time in the word, pledging my allegiance to Him.

Every morning I show my allegiance to the flag of the United States and to Texas. I like to believe that I am very patriotic but why can't I stand to show my allegiance for Christ. I need to show my allegiance each morning as I read his Word and pray for my students during our "quiet time" at school. I need to be thoughtful of this. Prayer for me in this would be appreciative.

Night all!

If this happens one more time . . .

Anyone know a good cell phone service provider? This is the second time that we worked with someone at AT&T and I am about ready to switch providers. We went in there today to get my phone moved to Karl's plan, which we had to get a form filled out by my mom (well, kinda :), it helps when I can sign like mom; it's not like I didn't have her permission) in order to do so. We walked in and talked to this guy, gave him the form, and we thought that he understodd what we needed to be done and he just started going. We got to the point where I would pick out a phone and he started getting stuff ready and I re-asked him, after he wanted to know what number I wanted to use for it, if my phone was now on Karl's plan and he just went crazy on us. Basically he said that we never told him that that is what we wanted. He was very rude, basically saying that it was our fault that he did all this work for nothing. It was very disheartening and I really wanted to tell him to forge...

New Journey . . . Diamond Club

What does it take to make a diamond? Any ideas? According to Wikipedia, you know the source for all things, a diamond is "formed at high temperature[s] and pressure". Karl and I are excited to announce that we will be taking part in journey. A journey that will, hopefully, push us to Diamond. It will take a lot of work but we are excited for this opportunity for our team. What is Diamond Club? Why is this so exciting? Maybe this video will explain it better. Diamond Club creates a great opportunity for EVERYONE! It allows Karl and I to travel to areas that want to grow and also allows for new members to receive additional products with their enrollment and subsequent LRP orders. Free stuff??? Yes, please!!! It really is a great opportunity for everyone on our team. We are looking forward to the immense growth that will happen because of this wonderful opportunity. So you may be asking, how do I get involved? What does this look like exactly? Basically we...

Writer's Corner Number 8

Typed from written Journal Entry: I thought I’d change it up a bit and try writing in journal form tonight. I am also curious to see the difference in length of writing for both writing formats. Dr. Semingson suggested incorporating pictures into our journal writings/posts. I don’t have any pics from growing up – they are all at my dad’s house in Michigan – but I can start adding new pics from Alaska, especially when it comes time to talk about our honeymoon adventures there. Today I want to start by talking about earthquakes. I want to preface this “talk” with a story from when I moved to Texas. Not long into the start of my 7th grade year we practice emergency drills. I remember one of my teachers talking about what to do in case of an emergency: crouch down with your head near a wall and cover your head. I remember thinking that getting near a wall wouldn’t be the safest thing in the world but I didn’t argue – I didn’t know what that emergency drill was for. Now that I’m olde...
