Things I Love Thursday

I'm totally stealing this theme-day idea from one of my favorite bloggers, Gala Darling. I thoroughly enjoy visiting her blog every Thursday to hear about the things she loooooves. :) So, it's my turn!

I LOVE...

- Pudding. Particularly vanilla flavored. I've been making my own at home with the Jell-O sugar free, fat free box mix. It's sooooo yummy. And chock-full of calcium! I'm eating some now. :)

- The smell of Thanksgiving. Turkey. Pumpkin pie. Spices. All of it. In all honesty I may love the smells even more than the tastes. Well, with the exception of pumpkin pie, of course. :)

- !!!!!!s and :)s Clearly. I'm an addict who has at least admitted. That's always the first step, yes?

- Summer flowers and my wedding band. But more importantly that they remind me of Hubster and my wonderful family.

- YOU!!! Really, I think you all are amazing. :) (ah! There I go again...)

What do you love??

Happy Birthday Mom and DOU!!!

To the BEST Mom in the World,

I hope your day is sunny.

And warm.

But if it's not sunny and warm, you can at least re-create this day.

(Wasn't it GREAT?!?!)

Happy Birthday. I Love You!!!!!

Happy Birthday to you! :)

I love you too!!

Manic Monday

Fortunately for those of us connected to the glorious Internet, manic is a good thing because of Web sites like this one: MyLifeIsAverage

Today's favorite? Just for you...

(From: http://www.teenhut.net/cafe/78328-loneliness-2.html)

Today was my first day at my new school. When I got to one of my new classes, my teacher went "Class, we have a new student." The whole class went "Shark bait ooo ha ha!" exactly like they did in Finding Nemo. I think I'm gonna like this new school. MLIA.



Aahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

Conflicted

I need your help. And prayers.

I'm conflicted. Actually, I'm CONFLICTED. Ugh.

So, in just about a month, we'll find out what's next for us with the U.S. Navy. Although I wasn't always so enthusiastic, I am looking forward to the adventures of being a military family. But it certainly does make some things difficult. For instance jobs and school. I will definitely be in school until December 2010 (boo) but the job is not so definite. I don't love it. And it's getting harder and harder to go.

And in the spring, it will be REALLY difficult to find time in my schedule for work with school and my internship already taking up so much time.

So, without getting into the nitty gritty details, there are a few options on the plate and many decisions to make. All of these will probably include sacrifice and difficult discussions that I just don't want to have. I'm hoping that you (three?) will be thinking about us and, if you are so inclined, that you'll pray for clarity in what I am supposed to do next.

I'm thankful that this life has taken me on the amazing journey I've already experienced. I'm sure the next chapter will be just as wonderful. It's just getting there!

Thanks y'all!
