Well we are on the final count down for our  trip to Hawaii and I can hardly believe it.  We have gotten so much done but we have so much more to do.  Granted the best thing about being so busy is the most natural and best weight loss supplements that you can give yourself! Because there is such an awesome reward at the end of this busy time it’s not overwhelming but exciting!!! I can not wait to be on the long plane ride there…I keep telling myself that because I am a bit nervous about that honestly.

What is your favorite blanket like?  I love those chinille like blankets that are super soft and comfotable to be wrapped in.

What was the last thing you baked? Bread… granted this last time it was for others and not for us.

What television personality gets you most hot and bothered?  None really because I don’t  think of them that way as it would be wrong to do so since I’m married and committed to my husband.

When did you last burn yourself? Who knows since I do it all of the time. LOL

What are your feelings about hot sauce?  Not really a fan.

This is not a made up word in Tina world infact Bravina is the name of a all natural health supplement that is over the counter that is suppose to help you feel more brave when speaking in public. For me it really depends on the place and time in reguards to when I get nervous with public speaking. I am really good at talking to strangers over the phone and I also do great talking at our small group settings. The harder times for me is when I want to speak up at a large meeting or when I get all of my Girl Scout Brownie troop girls and their families together. I have a hard time trying to be both that fun and cool troop leader and the resposible put together troop leader to the parents kids.

The last time that we had a meeting I prepared myself by trying this new supplement because at the end I needed to talk to the parents with the kids around. I am not sure if because it wasn’t a formal thing or the supplement but honestly it wasn’t that bad. Granted I’ve been really busy with getting ready for Hawaii and all so the stress has been high so I did not feel that got in the way either so something was working right.

I am including a picture of most of the girls from my troop. I hope you enjoy the picture and if you get a chance check out the info on Bravina!

Right now I find myself struggling with the fact that I put this weight back once again. Then I try really hard to push myself t lose it that I go almost overboard because I am always hoping for a quick weight loss which can not happen. If it took me 4 weeks to put it on it is going to take me closer to 8 to get it off. Isn’t it funny though how we live in a society that we want immediate results and we want them now? I hope that as I work on me I can also work on this!

Right now at church we are gaetting ready to do a study that is called “The Me I want to be” by John Ortberg.  This week was our Kick off Sunday where our pastors talked about individual transformation as Christians and the plan that God does infact create for us.  It was one of those weeks where I had really wished that there had been ancommunion invitation put before us so that we could have confirmed personally and acknowledge outwardly that God has infact taking me into his arms so that I may grow in him. I’ll leave you with my favorite verse from today’s scripture. I plan on sharing a bit of each week’s lesson with you all so that I’m not only outward acknowledging my growth but to show I am not perfect and I have a long ways to go!

“as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”

1 Corinthians 2:9-10

I decided to run a malware bytes scan on my computer today and I had a cookie for something called Anilox cleaner. I have now clue what Anilox is let alone why you would need cleaner for it. Gotta love how stupid some cookies look when you actually look at them. Granted then again makes you wonder how it got there in the first place. So I did look it up and according to wikipedia it’s “is a method used to provide a measured amount of ink to a flexo printing plate”. Yeah still clueless and no longer do I care!!!

So we have less than 2 weeks till we leave for Hawaii now. I am so excited yet a bit overwhelmed. There are so many things that I still need to get in order so that Joel and I can be gone for 12 days. I have already typed out a huge amount of info about the kids daily schedules and temporary guardianship forms, and even our wills. Now I am realizing it would probably be smart to put together some medical travel info for Joel and I so incase we need to seek medical attention it will be smooth and easy for us. You hear about people going on their dream trips and then something happens and they were not prepared. I do not want that to be us!

So my cousin came over the other night to hang out with Joel and I after the kids went to bed. So we played some X-Box 360 and Nintendo Wii. The problem is I asked him to bring a game so I could see it for the Wii and he left it here because he beat it. I don’t have time to play it… well I do but I should be getting other things ready for our trip. So now I am sitting here telling myself not to play it cause I’ll never put it down and the roll I am on with cleaning will for sure end.
