I lovc it... Since we have gotten rid of cable Landice has been forced to the limitations of KVIE and Netflix... LOL

I am so glad Arthur is still on because Landice loves it! It was my favorite when I was younger and love watching it with Landice...

she has also changed her favorite movie from Finding Nemo to ANNIE!

Yup she is def my daughter...

I used to watch Annie every night before bed... I know if by heart... :)

She has gotten so into the plot that she shrieks in fear when Annie is dangling from the draw bridge... she also cheers as soon as punjab has her safely on the ground...

LOL, I also think Dustin has a new found appreciation for musicals, I had him looking for Shirley Temple movies to watch although they didn't seem to keep his attention as well as Annie...

I love it... LOL

Can I be Frank?

Wow... I am so glad the election is over... Well that is what I was saying until I realized all the chaos that comes after such a "historical" election. Grr... some things that are really just irritating...

1. People are acting like Barack Obama is going to change the world because he is Black... oh sorry "African American" Come on, how about some political issues people?

2. Mccain Supporters need to get over the fact that he is not going to be president. How immature to boo during his speach at the name of Obama... Yes I so want you to choose our president anyway.

3. Yes on 8 supporters need to realize that they probably caused more people to not vote or to vote no on 8 by standing on street corners with signs.

4. Yes on 8 supporters were given a bad name by the"sign waving super saints" that are better than us... :)

5. Obama and no one else is going to fix the problems in our lives... only we ourselves can... :) Sorry... but puting our faith in the president in the United States? Wow, that is some faith. (Side Note: The only good presidents died because they were good or going to be good... I think it is inevitable to make this country look stupid for thinking we are so great, we are destined to have horrible rulers... Please prove me wrong... I don't mind)

6. Christians who try to stop evil are hipocrites and are afraid to live among it... Come on... what are you afraid of? That the devil is going to prevail over God? Get used to it... because according to the bible, it is only going to get worse... suck it up... teach your kids to love eachother by loving them and everyone esle... and don't be apart of it... :) It is not going away...

hey I said I was going to be Frank...

Prop 8 status in my life...

Well, all this talk of Prop 8, I guess I should say something on my behalf of what I believe. I am voting yes on prop 8 because if I didn't I would be a hipocrite. I am a Christian so therefore I need to vote in a way that expresses my own beliefs. But as for puting a sign in my yard or forwarding emails to non-christians or believers is only a mere disrespect for what they think is right. I should only assume that all Christians will vote yes on the matter unless they are gay themselves. I should also say that if a gay person is a christian they should know that according to what they claim to believe they are struggling with sin and therefore should vote yes to keep themselves from diving further into their sins. It would be just like a Christian who has the sin of porn addiction voting to legalize porn in school. (I know a little extreme, but it's an analogy) They know what they are doing is a sin, but they know they should be trying to fix the problem. NOW, this may sound like I am pushing beliefs... but I am just holding fellow Christians accountable. I don't expect all gays to think they have a problem... It is the only people Christians can be accountable for... we can only witness by example to non-believers and not push our beliefs down their throwts, for 1... that is disrespectful, and 2... that is judging others...

I can only be an example through my own life. I have said this before... I and other Christians, have no right to hold non believers accountable to our beliefs. The bible clearly states that the world is full of evil and we will have to face it day after day. So as a Christian I can only raise my children to learn to live as Christians do... I must also stress the fact, that if my child chooses not to be Christian I can not hold against them my own beliefs either. I would be devistated, but I can only hope that with KNOWLEDGE and research they will learn that the Christian religion is true and that it would take more faith knowing everything to not believe in Jesus Christ than it would to believe in him... (Knowing he is the true messiah, not just that he existed.) I will teach my children through example that we believe a family should consist of a Woman Mother, Male Father, and children... (If chosen) I can only witness to my children that this is the way families are supposed to be. I can also help by not puting them in harmful situations with strangers or doing harmful things to them... God only knows why people are "truly" gay... and no I don't believe they are gay by birth... maybe predispositioned... and then triggered, but who knows. I only know that we all have our own sin we struggle with... and we can either fight it or not...

The only unforgiven sin is not believing Jesus is the savior of the world... so we need to stop looking at Gays as if they are the devil themselves... ALL SINS ARE THE SAME IN GOD'S EYES! So just because they struggle with something doesn't mean they are out of your/our category... you are just as guilty as they are... Yes, I am voting YES on 8 because I believe that this is just a case for the devil to get a foothold on sinners... a way for him to turn people just a little bit further away from Jesus... but the bible clearly states that not everyone will be going to heaven when He returns, so people, whether prop 8 passes or not... people will still be gay, and we can only try to save people... but there will be many not able to be reached... if they were... the bible would be wrong...

THERE I BLOGGED! HAHA

I pee'd for 25 Seconds!

So I am always amazed to roll over in the morning these days and realize that I made it through a not so sleepless night that did not entale waking for my average 1-3 ice water refills and pee breaks. Just when I thank the lord for a good night sleep, I soon notice my stomach is about an inch larger than it was the night before and any slight movement makes me feel as if I am about to burst. I slowly inch my way out of bed trying not to put too much pressure on my bladder for comfort reasons.... "PHew... I made it..." as I relax and enjoy my release of discomfort I wonder how long I will pee for... (This comes from a childhood friend who swore she pee'd for 45 seconds once.) So there I was counting in my head... I am sure I was a little off because not only were my one thousands after each number seeming a little slow, I stopped twice... once to think if my one thousands were at the right pace, and one to think I am totally stupid for counting how long I can pee for...

So as the last drop hit the water I was at 25 one thousand. I will say that to be safe but I know there was atleast 3 seconds non accounted for... Hmm... next time, I will have to bring my stop watch....

Debt Free and Loving it!!! (Law of Attraction)

To my excitement, I received a check today for the exact amount I needed to pay off every piece of debt we have up to our house payment on Saturday. I could barely stand when I knew I was that close to financial freedom! I wondered to myself, what would any normal person due when receiving a check for a little over a hundred thousand dollars? Start a small business? Buy a car? Well I already knew exactly what I was going to do with it! I was going to free myself from debt slavery. I sat at my computer after I rushed to the bank to deposit the check. It still had the little word pending under it holding my hostage to a few more days of anxiousness! I tried my hardest to find things to occupy my time while waiting for the check to clear. 1 day went by, still pending, then 2... and then 3!!! It was gone!!! I was so close!!! Then I did it! I clicked on bill pay and how good did it feel to enter all those amounts in one lump sum. First my car, then Dustin's Truck, then our pool, then all our credit cards, I felt like such a rebel, I paid them in a different order than what Dave said to! But I was doing it! Last, I made a payment of 300.00 for the last dinky little credit card... and found I had 1 dollar left! It feels so good! I can now sleep at night knowing that if I want to go out to breakfast in the morning I won't have to squeeze into such a tight budget. Don't get me wrong, we are still on a budget and have to resist the slightest urge of "Charging it" we have, but truthfully, without debt we feel FREE! Thank you so much for making us FREE!

Good Start!

I think this is just what I needed. A good ol' blog to start off this week that I was not sure how was going to start. It is now 3 mins to seven and my first kid has yet to arrive. (He is due here at 6:30) This is giving me the slightest bit of hope that maybe, just possibly, he won't be coming today, but we will have to see. I have been in such a slump lately which I am sure is due to my hormones going crazy since I have recently found out I am pregnant, or Prego' as seems to be the most popular thing people think is hilarious to call us people. I forgot how wierd I feel when I am pregnant and I can't remember if it gets better or worse. I went through a lot of different emotions with Landice and I am not sure if these were the worst of them or not. Really though, except for the whole, "This is not the right time" feeling, all the other wierdo feelings are there. Like the whole, hating my environment. Not puking but feeling like I will if I see or smell a certain food. I am just waiting for the nesting period because my house could use a good scrubbing. Hmm... okay that is a little blog... It should do for now. This should be much better than the 50 2 page filled journals I have lieing all over in random areas... :)
