Surf's Up
My dh and dd went to the International Mall last week and found a store we all had to go to this afternoon. Adrenalina is a surf shop with a flow rider surf machine in the back. Amazing! Brett, Rachel and Noah hit waves this afternoon. Next time it's my turn!
I have a 5K next Sat and I need to get back to running or I'll be power walking most of it!

Salt and Light
Well, twice in as many days I have been called "light".
Jesus is shining through. I'm excited about direction that God is taking me and I pray He'll use me to affect changes in others. To Him goes the glory!
OK, so remember my bike crash at a dead stop last Sat? Well, I was focused on my leg and didn't realize my butt has this lovely pedal shaped bruise on it. Very attractive!
I also survived my first 2 days back to work after 14 off. Worked my way through 188 emails and I'm ready for what tomorrow brings. I know it's bringing sushi at lunch. We have the coolest sushi bar right across from our business complex called Sushi Fune. It's award winning and it's very inexpensive. They prepare the sushi and float them on little bamboo boats in a little river past your seat and you take what you want. They charge per plate and at lunch it's like $2 a plate. Can't beat it.
Helped my mom paint a little after work today. Should have been at the gym with a 5K coming up on the 17th but hey...it's mom. She's been out of her house for a few months now with a black mold scare. The word "bulldoze" came up once and "homeowners insurance" is part of her permanent vernacular! It's been a tough time for her but she continues to shine through difficulty and wear her best smile. Love you, Mom!
Matthew 5:13:
"Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness?

Blessed Call
Well, I got a call I have been waiting for and praying about. I have been asked to lead the Wednesday night ladies bible study at my church. I've been asking God to grow me and expand my boundaries and up to this point it's been little things and it's been wonderful.
If you are a prayer warrior...please add me to your list so I am covered in protection and God does amazing things in the study He chooses. I'm excited about the women he'll bring in on a Wed and how our lives will be touched and our spirits grown. I'll share those learning moments here on the blog and maybe a lesson or two will inspire something in you! It's all good!

Hi Gang! We'll I'm on the right track so far! LOL! I just got back from 16.5 mile bike ride with a friend of mine. It was great. She loaned me her hybrid Cannondale and it was smmooooooth! I forgot I had my toes in the little toe traps and went to put my foot down when I stopped. No foot...I have a lovely little rash on my right leg and a little gouge on my knee. But that's OK my hubby thinks I'm "hot" and my modeling days are over (Revlon never called) so it's all good!
I'm on scrappingmojo.com and trying to keep up with the challenges and such but those ladies are scrapping machines! I've done 4 layouts this vacation (I'm back to work on Monday) and will be working on our Disney trip layout sometime today. Now if I can just get them uploaded to the site....
Hubby is out shopping with daughter, the gift cards were burning a hole in her pocket. Supposed to vacuum but I might sneak in a nap while the house is quiet.
Here's a thought for you to chew on until I can get back to the blog.

The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
Love you all, blog ya later!

Happy New Year
Well here we are again at the beginning of a new year - 2009. Reflecting back on 2008 I can see how incredibly God provided for our family during some difficult times. I have high hopes for the new year and am excited to see what comes next!
I'm not big on new year resolutions only because I don't believe in waiting for a certain "date" to start what I know I need to do or should do. Every minute counts.
A little about me: I am 43 but am carrying my age pretty well. I'm sure the wrinkle fairy will show up soon, but in the meantime I'm keeping company with the gray fairy. She keeps bringing me more gray but I battle her with the bottle of golden blonde I found at Publix.
My husband, Brett, and I have been married just over 3 years. He is a wonderful man although very different from me. This made for a tough beginning but I'm amazed at how God blends us as time goes by. What is the deal with "opposites attract"? Tough gig. Brett and I were friends in high school though we never dated. After 19 years we ran into each other and started dating shortly after. After almost 2 years we were married barefoot on the beach and headed to Cancun for our honeymoon. I have 3 children and he has one daughter. Since my daughter is grown and out of the house it is nice to have a daughter again to do girl stuff with. She's great. My boys are strong, sturdy and bring me great joy...most of the time! My oldest son is almost a teenager and we do slight battle at times but we both know we love each other dearly.
My hobbies include scrapbooking, reading and jigsaw puzzles. I love Facebook, computer games (Pogo) and we'll see how this blog thing goes. Enough for now. We'll play with this site and see how cool we can get it to look! Hugs!
