Whats this another post...?

Today I contribute my inspiration to write a new post to the boredom that I am currently facing at work... I have 30 minutes before I am supposed to leave and I have already finished everything I had for today. I am such a quick little worker! Ha Ha. I am the type of person that likes to get stuff done, I don't like to leave things half done, it drives me crazy. I think that is one of the reasons I don't like to do laundry... it is always half done! The only way to get it all done and not have anymore to do is to sit around your house necked all day long while doing load after load of laundry. Why do you have to be necked you ask? Because if you are wearing clothes then you will have to wash them after you take them off. It is miserable! Why most laundry be so miserable??? And boys laundry at that, my husband, love that man, has more clothes than a department store and he wears all of them. He recently did a massive clean out of his closet and drawerers and I mean massive and he still collects about 30 lbs of laundry a day. Anyways, that is my rant for today... I need to do something productive before I leave!!!

I love it....

Today was a great day... The best thing about it was that it was a very ordinary day! I went to work, it was the usual day and then I went to the store, I came home and I cooked dinner. The whole cooking dinner thing is not the most normal thing that I do, I just never seem to have time, but today I did and it was great. Thanks to Christy she gave me a really easy recipe for chili cheesy enchiladas. O man were they good! The best thing is that you can make as little or as much as you want and you don't waste anything... always a problem when you are only cooking for two! So Brad and I ate dinner, which is so nice, to sit down and just be together. We cleaned up and then took the dogs on a walk, it was such a pretty day. Nice and warm and windy... I love Spring on a side note! Thats all I have really... sorry if you were bored! But atleast I posted!!!! Yay!

I have bloggers block, pray for me, I need to post. Thanks. Remy

Just Because...

One of my favorite things to get and give are "just because" gifts... I think they are so fun and thoughtful. It's kind of like saying "no its not your birthday and no its not Christmas, its just because. My mom used to get me just because gifts all the time... or don't tell dad until later gifts!!! HaHa! Anytime she would go shopping or somewhere fun she would always bring me home something cute! They were normally pretty girly and since I was the only girl it was always perfect. Well, I don't know if I was sending off some kind of vibe or auora, but this past week I got two just because gifts! Brad gave me the first one... a package of reduced fat (I hope he is not trying to tell me something!)oreo's and a note that said I love you and I am proud of you in so many words!! Then, my friend Autumn showed up at my house with the cutest little candle plate and a welcome bear! Autumn and I both went to Baylor at the same time, only we never met until our husbands who have been best friends since grade school introduced us. Boys are so bad at introductions! anywhoo's she knows how much I love Baylor and little bears and so when she saw it she thought of me and got me one! She has one too, so its pretty perfect! So now I am on the just because gift train and I am finding myself trapped between a budget and a cute little gift that I really shouldn't buy! Maybe I will just focus on "just because" cards... I could even put a picture of the gift that I would want to get that person in the card... oh, just call me cheap already!! So this is a just because post! To all my friends and family, know that I am thinking about you today... JUST BECAUSE!!!!

"I'm Yours!"

Last Saturday was another one of those days where God blows me away with His incredible blessings for me. I had to work all day and night on Saturday and was absolutely exhausted by the time I got home. My day was pretty normal, nothing out of the usual until Saturday night at the wedding I was working. We had just sent the Bride and Groom off in their horse drawn carriage when a panicked woman from the wedding told me to call 911. There was a girl in the bathroom passed out and shaking all at once. The bathroom was filled with people and was about 100 degrees (literally). I knew I had to get her some air, cool air, and although they always say don't move a injured person, we had no choice. her sister and I picked her up and carried her out to the hallway... the paramedics arrived and she regained consciousness and off in the ambulence she went. She will be fine. This is what happens when you drink too much. Obviously the staff was a little shaken up by the whole incident and it made the rest of the evening a little uneasy...

Now God's blessing. As I am driving home and reflecting on the evenings events I called Brad. He had just gotten home and was waiting for me so we could go to bed. Again, exhausted and ready to crawl in my warm bed, I fumble for my keys and unlock the door. I was struck with Joy as I opened the door. Big bright yellow roses and a card that read "My Baby"! I couldn't believe it, not only did I get roses and a card he also bought me two hot pads and a dish towel that I had seen at world market and pointed out to him. They are the colors of our kitchen and I just loved them when I saw them at the store several days earlier. My heart was filled with warmth as I read the sweet card and saw the smile on Brad's face. He made me feel so extra special for no particular reason. He just wanted to let me know how much he loved me and to remind me "I'm Yours!"

God, you have blessed me with the most incredible husband anyone could ask for. He makes me laugh, cry, and smile all the time. I don't know why you chose me to be so blessed, but Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Please help Brad and I grow in your perfect will. Lord we want to change the world someday and only you can help us do that! I love you Father, thank you for the love you have given me and shown to me through Brad. Amen

For those of you who haven't heard Brad has been called to missions. He is the new Missions Pastor at our church and although he will really miss the youth, He is so excited to see where God is taking him. We are not leaving the country or moving or anything like that, we are focusing on our community. Together, one day, all of us will change the world for Jesus! I am so excited for you, Brad. You are truly a man after God's own heart!

Sweet Husband...

On Sunday afternoon Brad asked me if he could take me on a date on Thursday night... I said Yes! Obviously! So tonight we went and had a great time eating at one of our favorites Shogun's. I was so happy! Despite my grey hairs haha, He still wants to date me! I just love this man! He even cleaned the house for me today! What a man!

Side Note: I have made the switch, well not completely but almost, to the thicker hair band/ties. Emily (Sister in law) introduced me to them while we were in Australia and now I am hooked. I never have to redo my hair... I used to average a redo atleast every hour while I was at work and now my "do" last all day! Thanks Em, you are truly a bright light in the dark places of my life!

Look!

"BRAD!" I screamed as I was getting ready this morning... "Come Here!"
"What, why are you screaming?" He answered
"Look!" I said as I pointed to GREY hair sticking out amongst my brunette locks. "I don't even have kids yet..."
"Oh, a little grey hair, ehh?" Brad said to me in a joking voice.
"How did this happen?" I exclaimed as I researched my head a little further "There's More"
"Sweet!" Brad continued "It can be your new mark of distinction, like your own fashion statement."

Somebody please explain....
