A story to warm the heart:)

Ok so I know this is my second post of the day..but people, learn fast, I have a lot to say:)haha..

Ok, you are going to have to get the kleenex out for this one!

So Dave and I were driving home last night from our two frequently visited places..liquor store(I love red wine!!) and the video store(to continue our lost addiction).
Anyways, we were listening to the radio where they were telling the following story. So there was this little eight year old boy in England who had terminal cancer. I guess through Make a Wish Foundation or something like that he was able to fullfill a couple of dreams, like ride in a porche and Ferrari and have a pirate party! All very exciting things, but there was one dream that he still wanted to have fullfilled:) And that dream was to marry his sweetheart(a classmate of his)!! So, this little angel proposed to his little friend and his mom officiated the ceremony..bride with bridal gown and all..and they were married:) After the "wedding" he said to his mom his heart was at peace now as his dream was fullfilled..and he was now ready to go.
So they next day that little angel passed on and went to heaven....

I am so thankful for every day that I have with David. Sometimes I get so focused on all this stuff I wish we could do, or how we are not furhter a head financially and all lifes distraction.
This story was such a great reminder that not only did God bless me with the love of my life, but I get to spend every day with him!! Shouldn't that be enough??

Being Still

I was reading in my devotional last night about being still and listening to the voice of God. This seems to be a challenge for me. As the days just seem to go by faster and faster and life gets busier and busier, I find it hard to find time and a place. As much as I love my husband and spending time with him, sometimes I just need 10 minutes alone somewhere to breathe and listen. I use to go for walks on the River all the time, and now we do, so I guess I need to start trying to go alone once and a while:)
So, if anyone has any suggestions of how they escape with God for ten minutes a day...I would love to know!!!

PS...Can someone please tell me how to put pictures up:)

My find for the day:)

Ok, so as a lover of food and flavor, I am always loooking for new recipes. So I came across another great website today and thought I would pass it along! www.foodnetwork.com
The great thing about the Food networks website is you can create your own recipe file! So if you see a recipe you love you can store it away!! Anyways, if you are already hooked up with the website..ignore this...but if you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend doing so!!

Get LOST!!!

No seriously you need to go get Lost!! If you have not starting watching this show..then you truley are missing out. Ok, let me take that back, if you have a life and don't want to ignore it than I don't recommend it, but if you are looking for something to do, and something to kill time in the evenings..than rent it now!! David and I started watching it two weeks ago and we are highly addicted. I don't know what we would have done if we had watched it on TV not rented the tapes..we couldn't handle the stress of waiting every week to find out what happens.
So we are in the middle of season two right now and don't know what we are going to do once we get to the end of season four and have to wait till next summer to watch this season coming up. Oh my goodness we are actually going to have to talk to eachother or something(just kidding).
I understand now why we don't have cable, I forgot after almost a year without out it how addicting stupid TV really is!!

So, for any of you non marrieds out there who are really looking to connect in your first year of marriage..dont get cable:)

And so it begins...

Ok, so I have to confess something. I am a blog stalker!! That's right..on my lunch breaks when I am bored I love to scroll through my friends blogs to see whats going on in their lives. I find it very entertaining:) So, I felt it was only fair, if I was going to snoop in your life, you should be allowed to snoop in mine! So I decided to officially start a blog and see where it takes me!
I unfurtunatly don't have any kids so can't post any cute pictures of babies(well not mine anyways), but I will try to come up with some interesting stuff to keep you wanting to come back for more!

Anyways, time to get back to work! so glad it is friday!!
