So neat

Tina — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 02:58:07 +0000

I was going through my pile of stuff that had started to accumulate over the months and ran across the invitation to Joels cousin’s wedding. One of the really neat parts was that it was one of those that you could plant and it would grow wild flowers eventually. When Joel and I got married there were not readily available wedding invitations like that. I don’t think that we would have used that kind but it’s just a really neat idea since those typically just get thrown in the trash. I tell you we will always live in a society though where every couple of years new and better will come out for things like weddings and children stuff that we will think man I wish they had that when…

For Real?

I just got an e-mail from Target and it was talking all about a huge Online Early Back Friday Sale that they were going to have. I’m sorry but that to me is just as lame as the Cyber Monday that a lot of companies have started to really put a lot of big products and time into. I do enjoy Black Friday and Joel and I enjoy doing this together but when you start extending this long tradition to days beyond and now in the middle of summer I just don’t get it. Granted I am more of a traditional girl so it takes time to get use to new things.

Trip memory

Tina — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 03:06:05 +0000

When we went on our trip earlier this month we got the chance to meet and observe a very large omish family from Sturgis MI. They too were visiting the Creation museum and spending a few days there in Cinicinatti. They were a super larger but nice and well behave family group. One of the nights that they were there at the same time as we were a large amount of the children were in the pool. One of the kids set off the exit alarm by bumping the door. We the part that brought this memory back was an on and off smoke alarm of ours going off. It was 9 years old and needing to be replaced but none the less it did try to have some fun with us last night because it was so weak it did not sound like a fire alarm but more an exit alarm really.

It has everything

I just love hearing about people who have just discovered Costco. It was just a few years ago for me but it really is just a place that you can get things you never dreamed that you could get at a Bulk Store. My favorite thing to hear about is when people see that they sell caskets there. A lot of comments that I’ve recently heard have been about if the next step is for them to get into funeral planning. If you think about that though that would really take it to a whole different level and honestly I pray that they never do. When we were visiting with some friends recently though they had just gone for their first time and just had the fever like we do. I just had to share the funny observation though that everyone seems to make.

Cincinnati Zoo and Joel’s Birthday

Tina — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:59:41 +0000

We had a very neat time at the zoo today but boy oh boy was it hot out there. My eyes have only double in uncomfortableness. I really should have gotten some of that eye wrinkle cream I was thinking about yesterday!!! Oh we so live and learn. Today was such a nice birthday for Joel and I hope that it was not too bad for our sick little guy who was not feeling well and got sick on the way to the zoo and then again about an hour after we got back. On a good note after a week long vacation I have very little laundry to do because it seemed silly to just clean the stuff Logan got sick on. So I did all of our laundry and it feels great! I have somany neat things to share but we are just to tired so I will be hitting the hay here soon. We are off to the Children’s museum tomorrow and then home.

Life is crazy

We have been on vacation for about 5 days now and even though we have spent plenty of time inside and enjoying the shade I got a bit too much sun today at the Creation Museum. We did the part of the museum called the Garden of Eden and it was really hot out there. My face is screaming and I am not sure if it’s from the sun or the humidty. No matter what I think I’ll be making a run to the store to look for some of the best eye cream available out there because my eyes are screaming!!! We are off to the zoo tomorrow and it’s suppose to another hot one. We are having a great time though with our friends and I will back blog to tell about every great day of our trip. Plus when I get home I’ll share the neat picture we had taken.

Major Cleaning

Tina — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 16:31:42 +0000

I need to do some major cleaning when we get back from our trip next week. I am in the final stages of getting the last few things into the car so that we can get on the road tomorrow and now I realize I have more than enough to fill my time when we get back. I had to go into the storage room off from Logan’s room to make sure I had all of the clothing our friends are buying from us fro their son that were Logan’s and I was amazed at the stuff just laying all over the place in there. I was tripping on snow boots, wrapping paper, spring PJ’s, and so many other things I swear I took care of a couple of months ago when we thought about selling the house. Looks like I have a way to keep myself busy…that is if I actually remember that mess when we get back. I should probably make my self a little note so I can easily remember since I’m horrible about that!

Catching up

Tina — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 01:13:30 +0000

I finally finally got my laptop back last week and boy do I have lots of catching up to do on it. I have been just horrible about my e-mail and boy do I have more than enough to keep me busy for weeks. Granted we leave for a week long vacation here in a few days so there is no hope for time to responding to requests from e-mails. One of the best ones that I got sent was about doing weight loss supplement reviews. If they are really offering that then ?I would so try something supplemental since those are a lot safer than drugs and OTC or RX. We shall see though it’s a real thing or not. A little extra help losing this weight could not hurt at all.

One month

Tina — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 16:41:28 +0000

That is the amount of time I have to find someone to repair our awning on our Camper. It seems to be getting lose at the bottom where the poles are stored. I am afraid that it come lose while we are driving down the road for our next camping trip. We are probably going to look for a small RV place or a place that does just motorhome repairs. I probably should start looking through the Good Sam magazine I just got the other day and see if there is any info in there but I keep putting it off because it’s not effecting my life right now. Looks like it’s one of those things that needs to go on the list as well!!! Granted if I truly made a list and sat back to look at it I would be so overwhelmed it would drive me crazy. Maybe I shold just have Joel keep the list and have him give me the things to do in small amounts!

Struggles

Tina — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 15:15:40 +0000

It is so hard to not want to find the fastest way to drop this weight so that I can feel happier with my body again. Especially in a society where there is a constant barrage of ads and commercials for diet pill reviewsand all of the wonderful things this wonder drugs can do for you. However I know that it’s so much more than losing the weight but making a life style that allows us to live with less health struggles and teaching my kids that there isn’t always easy ways out either. I know that once we really get to the level of being able to maintain this new lifestyle change that a lot of the other things will fall into place. It is just getting there that takes time and dedication. Until then I will continue to lean on my faith that He will get me there as long as I let him lead me.
