For Sale

Our home- I love our home very much and it was truly our dream home that when we built it we thought our grandkids would be spending the night here someday. I have learned so much about myself these last 2 years by living here.

More on this to come.

Chinese New Year Pics

We had a great afternoon and it was a pleasure to meet some new families. We did have another dinner and I forgot my camera dang!

Highest of highs to the Lowest of lows

All in the same day within an hour. I was really
feeling good this morning and then I received that
long awaited email I have been waiting for.
However, it was not at all the kind of email I wanted to open.
Please pray for us and our little one in Haiti. Please bless those
that need to get the mistake fixed that it will be figured out in the
morning. I am trying to stay positive but through the tears it
if so very hard. We have friends that could also use your prayers.
I keep telling myself this will all work out and I pray that
it does, tomorrow would be great.

80+

This is a season that I love so much. It all starts this weekend and Gage will embark on another 80+ game season. We travel alot for baseball and the family loves it. The girls love to come because there are other little sisters that also travel and so they love to stay in different hotels, swim, eat out, and just plain run like crazy. Personally I could sit and watch Gage play all day and we do. On tap this year a couple places are Vegas, Omaha for the College World Series for a second year, and a whole lot more. The baseball lamp in the picture we got 2 years ago when we traveled to New York for a chance to play in Cooperstown. Yes I brought it on the plane home. Out of 96 teams we came in 3rd our boys rocked. That same year we played in the USSSA World Series in Kansas and came in 3rd also. Fun times and memories Thank you son I love you.

So if you need me in the next few months I will be at the ball park soaking up the sun, with my cooler dishing out sandwiches and gatorade and yelling at the girls to stay close where I can see them. I wish Sael was home to come with us this weekend maybe next tournament.

Yuck this weekend where we are headed is not suppose to be very warm. Bring out the sweatshirts, handwarmers and the portable heater.

Refresh

How many times can one refresh their email in one day? I'm not sure but I think a gazillion. Please send me an email already. Yes I am waiting for an adoption related email that should be here any day, any second, should of come already type of email.

If you are the prayerful type will you please pray for all the little ones in Haiti waiting for their Moms and Dads for so long to come and get them. Please pray for files to move more smoothly and efficiently. Thank you so very much

Funny and some Truth to this

A friend sent this to me and I ran it by my husband which has found this a little helpful. *Nine words women use.

1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to be quiet.

2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments the begin with 'nothing' usually end in 'fine'.

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. DON'T DO IT!

5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing)

6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. 'That's Okay' means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question or faint. Just say 'you're welcome.' (I want to add a clause here - this is true unless she says 'thanks a lot' - that is pure sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'. That will bring on a 'whatever')

8. Whatever: This is a woman's way of saying (insert your own thoughts).

9. Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something a woman has asked a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' - for the woman's response refer to #3.

I used one of these already this morning lol
Run them by your significant other and see if they find them helpful.
