one of the benefits...
ONE of the pluses of being a youth pastor (or just a yp wife) is that i get to tag along (i mean "help") at all the events.
last night i was lucky enough to go to... WINTER JAM
o.my.word was it CROWDED! we walked around, up & down the stairs looking for seats for about 30 minutes... no lie.finally at the VERY top we found seats... our view: the top of their heads

chad left to meet someone & ended up finding us better seats.
well, some might say they are not better - they were behind the stage but to us & our OLD ears it was not so loud back there.
was that even possible?!?! my ears were ringing by the end of the night!
i got a little tired (it was past my bedtime) so i started taking pictures to stay awake... these pictures make me laugh!
i like music... to sing along. making-up words is what i do best!
i'm not too big on knowing who sings what songs. i am always asking chad who sings this.
last night i was singing along but did not have a clue who it was UNTIL... TOBY MAC!!! huge fan, have been since his dc talk days. anybody know who i'm talking about???
it was an AMAZING show... even though we saw it all from behind!!!
if winter jam comes to your area you need to go... worth the $10 to get in.

* i'm thankful for my husband... the man of God he is, who listens & does what he knows God is telling him to do, even though its hard.* i'm thankful for the nice weather today... 78 is the high today!
* i'm thankful that my talk with k was helpful last week & that a good note was sent home today from his teacher.
* i'm thankful knowing that God is FAITHFUL!
* i'm thankful for the lessons i learn while teaching the middle school girls sunday school class every week. i was not excepting that!
* i'm thankful that i got my lazy behind out of bed... finally & started working out again this week.
* i'm thankful that i was able to bless someone with some stuff out of my FREE stuff cabinet.

my feet are in heaven...
all because of this... the PED EGG
this is ONE of the things i asked for for my birthday.
i had seen it out on the shelves at stores for months, seen commercials about it, read some of your blogs & so i wanted to see... feel for myself why everyone just loved this enlarged egg.
when i saw it in the bag i was squealed with excitement like a little kid.
i then spent the next ten minutes trying to get it out. man, i hate all that plastic! i was so ready to try it out!
my opinion:
not as good as a pedicure... because you are the one doing the work but its cheaper than going to get one & it has made my o.so.rough & dried out winter feet ready for spring!
if you don't have you... its a must!!!

trueBEAUTY...
has anyone else heard of this show?been watching it???
i think it is a BRILLANT idea... they were being judged on their inner beauty during the competition.
the catch: they didn't know it!
the judges set up situations each week & if they "failed" the three judges then would decided who needed to go. they watched video tapes of them & would see their "true beauty" come out.
this is when it would get funny because most of them had some big heads & think they ARE the most beautiful person on the world. how they talked about themselves just cracked us up!
i just LOVE the idea of this show. a show where you were judged & viewed on your INNER BEAUTY instead of what's on the outside. so good! i wish every teenager would have watched this show & caught the very important message they were getting out.
too much & for way too long we have let LA & NY, & the magazines tell us its about the size we wear our or what brand are jeans are... SO WRONG! its ok to look good but when that is all you care about then its wrong.
the Bible tells us, "God looks at the heart" & "true beauty is from Him"
during the show i had to do some examining of myself. i would like to say that true beauty always shines from me but that would be a lie. but its a reminder now, at the front of my brain that "TRUE BEAUTY" is my actions to others, to the people around me. doing nice, thoughtful things when NO ONE ELSE is watching. doing acts of kindness because that is what God wants that from me. and i want to make Him smile.

all aboaut me...
it should have been since it was my birthday yesterday, but things don't always seem to work out like i plan them in my head.
i guess the bad weekend started on friday night when i opened my BIG mouth & told my nice husband he was lazy. horrible & mean of me, i know & i wish i would not have even said it.
i did say sorry. (and sorry again chad if you read this - you & i both know lazy is not a word to use to describe you)
saturday was the day we were going to "act like" it was my birthday since sunday's chad is gone most of the day practicing fine arts (human videos) with the students.
after breakfast we headed to the mall for chad to check some shoes. i told him i would buy him a new pair since last week his got reaped while doing something for ladies night... that is the least i could do!
we had a little over an hour before we needed to leave & head to the circus.
we left the mall with no shoes & everyone hungry.
we headed to some fast food restaurant that we had never gone to. i'm cheap & compared to mcdonald's this place was EXPENSIVE! i stated i didn't want to waste money on this food when i knew it could be bought cheapier somewhere else.
from there the attitudes just got worse... we did have a good time at the circus though.
chad tried to redeem the day so we headed back to the mall so i could shop. bad idea! well, i did find 2 cute shirts but by this time the boys had had enough & did not want to be there. there were very bad which again put us all in bad moods again. (our fault we shouldn't not have gone back to the mall!)
at home, we all said sorry & went to bed.
SUNDAY (my actually birthday) was MUCH better!
every sunday i have to get myself dressed & the boys & out the door by 9 to be on time for sunday school. we did it & without me having to send either one of them to time-out or give any death threats. (ha!) we all left happy & in a good mood!!!
off to a good start!
people & students were sweet with nice things to say & cards. i did get called "old" several times, but that doesn't bother me. age is just a number.
for lunch we went to chiplote. i like going there just for the chips & guacamole. the boys were good the whole time. it was wonderful!
chad then headed back to the church for the afternoon & i needed to go to a few stores around town. it was brave of me to try that with the boys but i squeezed in the pest store in between my stores & it made a world of difference with them. :)
that evening we had home groups, small groups, whatever you want to call them at our house with 9th & 10th grades. after a few of them had arrive one of them jokingly said, "what a great way to spend your birthday... with a bunch of teenagers!" it was a great way. i love those students & so glad that they come into our home every other sunday night. they sang to me, ate & drank all my food, had alot of fun playing, learning, being a small family.
it was a rough start but how it ended was GREAT! then k, b, and chad sang to me one more time & i was knocked almost down with kisses & hugs. it was a sweet ending!
