Pretty Purple

I had nothing else better to do this Friday evening... so I changed my blog layout like everyone else has. So many choices.

I need a nap.

All you can eat

So I was outside about two nights ago while some mosquitoes had a buffet on my legs. I thought they would be gone by now, but it looks like they are getting worse. I was going to post a picture, but it just looks so gross. I have FIFTEEN big swollen bites! I think a new breed has moved in because they were ginormous! Ok, that may be a slight exaggeration.

Oh well for wearing a skirt to church on Sunday. JK!

Oh... and my co-worker suggested white nail polish for relieving the itch and even though it leaves a white crust around them, it actually works!

Thanks for a GREAT boss!!!

I think that so far, in all of my years of employment, I have found the best boss ever. She is so sweet and always reminds us to "do what we think is right." She has a kind heart and a good sense of humor. When we makes mistakes, she does not talk down to us or make us feel dumb for making silly errors. She's really great.

Well, I celebrated my 4th anniverysary at the credit union and little did I know that every anniversary we have, she takes us out to lunch at a restuarant of our choice, and it's her treat. She's just the bestest!!! I picked Outback. It was so good. Although they were out of what I was planning on ordering, I still got some yummy coconut shrimp! Boss' Day is coming up here real soon... she is going to be on vacation next week... well, remember the desk prank I wrote about before? Well, it's her turn!!! Happy Early Boss' Day!!!

We aren't really that mean to each other. We actually have something really special planned for her...

Scene it?!?

Last night my friends came over and we all played Disney Scene it with Dime (our only excuse for a bunch of 20 year olds to be playing this game.) So it was our team's turn and a scene from Finding Nemo comes on. We carefully watch the scene looking at every detail... and the question is: Name the two fish in this scene.Very confident in our answer, everyone on the team, which consisted of four people, all shout out, "Nemo and Dori!!!" Wouldn't you agree with us???

A Special Day...

Today was a special day for Dime and I. Although both of us were baptized as babies, today we wanted to be baptized by our awesome Pastor. I am so proud of Dime. It was actually her idea and we talked about it for some time before I even decided to talk to Pastor about it. The idea of "going to a different church" is already somewhat a touchy subject at home and I knew this would not make it any better. But I went with that little voice in my head shouting "Do it! Do it! Do it!" and decided to do it anyway. Dime was so excited about sharing her love for the Lord with the world and I was excited to be right there with her.

These past couple of months, I have fallen in love with Jesus all over again. There has been this little wall, maybe a fence, built up between me and my relationship with God that I have finally broken down. This growing time has absolutely been an amazing time in my life. I truly believe that people come into your life for a reason, even if they don't realize what their purpose may be for being there. And this is exactly what has happened. Though it may have hurt at first, something great came out of it. And the even more wonderful thing is that God loves us no matter what and is always willing to take us as we are and I thank Him for that.

Thank you Dear Lord for everything You've done in our lives. You are an awesome God. Help us to continue to live our lives for Your glory. Let Your love shine through us. We love You.

Let's go out and multiply...

I know I just wrote about math yesterday, but this one actually isn't about that.

Every morning at work, one of the first things we do is grab the newspaper and read the obitiuaries together. Sounds weird, I know, but it's not something that we do for entertainment. It's actually part of our job. Well today... one of the obituaries said this lady had 269 grandchildren. Woah! That's a bunch of kiddos! She had 8 kids. You can do the rest of the math.

Mathematics...

I think I'm officially a nerd. Tonight I helped a friend out with algebra homework and I was actually excited about it. I absolutely LOVE solving math equations. I couldn't wait to reach a solution and was thrilled about moving on to the next problem. WOW!!! What's wrong with me?!? I LOVE numbers and you can even throw in some X's and Y's for me.

How weird...
