I know, I know!
I've been sucking at the whole blogging thing lately. I think part of it is I haven't had my camera all weekend and I like to have blogs with pictures.
The other part of it is I just haven't really felt like I had anything to say. You know how that is? Oh yes, I could talk about my weekend... but it was pretty relaxed.
I can talk about how I cleaned the ENTIRE house (go me), but that's boring.
We TRIED to take pictures of the kids. Try is the word as the kids were beyond uncooperative. Don't believe me, here are the best shots.
Um, wait, we did get Lyric some cute new Vans on Saturday:
we went to the mall with the Shulls, plus Ash and Maddy on Saturday. That was good times had by all... and I got to eat at one of my fave places, Cozymel. They have the best queso! I want it again for dinner tonight! Jon wasn't impressed and thought it was over priced so I doubt that's going to happen. But a pregnant lady can dream!
Nathan preached on Sunday morning for the first time and he did an AMAZING job! He did the cardboard testimony and it was so powerful. I sat there and balled like a baby as I kept thinking about what I would say on my cardboard...
It was just so impacting for so many people. And Nate really brought the word.
You can hear it on the podcast. Just go to www.shadygrove.org and follow the instructions to download the podcast.
Then it was... Cowboys.
Now don't get me wrong. I have nothing against the Cowboys. Coming from an avid football fan family, I actually am happy when they win as everyone is jovial and pleasant for the rest of the day.
But then seriously? Do we all need to wear our Cowboys shirts and hats with such commitment that we think the wearing of said garments will somehow influence the outcome of the game? Do we all need to huddle into the living room, screaming to the point no child can sleep peacefully in the entire house? Do we really need to completely detach ourselves from reality so as to when your wife is calling your name 600 times you just "didn't hear her"?? Hmm..
but alas, nothing can be done and football season has indeed begun. So I will do what I do every year. I will sit in the other room and read. Or play with the kids. Or maybe even take a nap. And around the end of the season I will actually care a little more and genuinely hope we can actually win a playoff game.
But until then... sigh.
Ok, well I have stuff to do people. I'm out.

ha! I remember when I first met Jon and he hated football! oh well...
I had no idea you went to Shady Grove, my father-in-law guest pastors there sometimes. How funny :-).

Nathan was a breath of fresh air!! Where have they been hiding him all this time!
His message totally confirmed that God has been listening to me the last week. I love when that happens!
ahhhhhhh those shoes are soooooooo cute!!!
I have to put myself in the ADVID Cowboys fan club! I would be right there decked out and hoot'n & holler'n with every good play! Me & your mom are both alike when it comes to being BIG Cowboys fans!
Is the Nathan that preached, your bro-in-law, Courtney's husband? If so, that's so incredibly cool!
Hugs & goooo Cowboys (giggle)!
Mel
I agree. I would also be the AVID football fan sitting in the living room hollering really loud. Although, it wouldn't be for the Cowboys. It would be for the Chicago Bears!!!! And the DID win last night!!! GO BEARS!!!!!
