My Life in Pictures

I don't have time to update much over the next couple of weeks, so I thought I would do an overview (in pics)! A few things I have failed to mention and didn't want to miss blogging about... Over the 4th I introduced one of my favorite people, Courtney,

to one of my favorite places... Camp Mac. Did you know she loves to dance like this?

We did everything kid style... down to Party Night in the Rec Hall... and we did a little of this thing, affectionately known as the Wet Willie.

Also, I think I forgot to tell you... this same beautiful girl will be my ROOMMATE in less than 7 days. Bless her heart! We move this weekend!

Moving on.... Did you know this girl will be a bride in less than 2 weeks?

I literally have cried almost everyday in anticipation. I am hoping to get all the emotions out before the big weekend so that I will be partly sane. It's hard giving your best friend up, but I sure do love, love me some Rob. It makes it much easier! And on top of marrying her off... we are sending them,

off to EA 3 days later! Wedding and Going Away Party all in one weekend! Again, getting all the tears out now.

I am working on a post about this past weekend... Chicago was great! These girls were so much fun to hang out with...

Stories and more pics to follow later!

Work is crazy... this madness...

starts in less than 40 days! Old Folks Home is taking reservations now... spaces are limited.

On a parting note... I am so blessed. My life is not perfect and these are definitely some of the highlights. The valleys I seem to not record as often... but you can see below one from last week. This is just real life, the good, the bad and the ugly.

God knows Best

God knows best... kinda of (actually not kinda, always) father knows best! I have started a post on my journey through searching for my spiritual gift, but that one still needs some work. So, I thought I would share about my day. Today has just been one of those days, I just have worked myself into a funk, complete melt down mode. I know I am blessed. I have tried to grasp His sacrifice for me yet I know I will never comprehend its magnitude. However, in the midst of all the joy I am still that whining child, "Daddy why can't I have it?" I continually question why my heavenly Father withholds and he constantly sings over me, "Because I love you and I know best."

As a child my father would take things away that would harm me or withhold things that were dangerous. I don't think it was the taking part that bothered me so much as it was I wanted what I couldn't have. The classic child mentality. I do the same thing so often with my heavenly Father. I simply want what I can't have; how stupid. He knows best. End of discussion. Just like the big puzzle he sees the pieces that don't fit and the pieces he will hand us over time to make the puzzle complete. Only He knows the finished product.

Well, still on the wedding circuit but taking a break this weekend to see a few of my favorite people... these three girls...



I could not be more excited. I'll post pics and stories when I return. I hear MK has some big news for us! Windy City here I come!

BING or Google

I love the New York Times... great and interesting articles. I came across a few today that were particularly well written. I really enjoyed this interview with Justice Ginsburg and her view point of women on the court, although I could do without her adoration for affirmative action, but that's another post. The most interesting thing I came upon was an article about BING. I had no idea this even existed... I mean that isn't saying much, but I really like it. Thought I would share! I don't know if it will pull me away from Google and my iGoogle page, but a nice change sometimes.
