This week!

So, this week I will be traveling with Tim and one of Noelle's bridesmaids to Mobile, AL. Bachlorette Party was last weekend, and to those of you who know me well, I actually planned it (being the matron of honor) and it actually turned out amazing, even though in true LA style, I did not have a solid plan for the entire night, but I really had a good time and so the other girls reported they had a good time too, so I feel like I did well on my first "big-girl project." Now, today, we leave for Mobile. I'm so excited for Noelle, her and her fiance have been engaged for over a year and a half! I almost died being engaged for a year and a month.... I'm so excited for them and proud of what an amazing godly example they have been for others around them. Soooo... as the maid (matron) of honor, I will need to give a toast, I think. I had to give one at Jacque's and I didnt know I was supposed to until the day before the wedding. So, in case I have to, because I hate public speech, even if it is just a toast, pray that I don't throw up, and also for a safe trip and "flawless" wedding (we ALL know there is no such thing...)

Until I post pic's of New York

I will talk about the following subject: 90's songs you sing really loud in the car, but might not if someone was with you. My song the other day was Um Bop from Hanson. I was in 7th grade, I believe, when it came out. Tell me what your song is, I'm hoping I'm not the only one out there who does it.

On the other note I went to the beach this weekend and had an amazing time at the ocean just staring at the water and talking with God. He is good and I praise His name.

Timothy James Harper

So, last night at what exact time I do not know, my trooper of a mother-in-law finished 36hrs of back pain that produced the wonderful son, true friend, and awesome husband known as Timothy J. Harper. For your viewing pleasure, I leave you some pictures of him!

He has had the pug nose from birth!

Some of you might not know, but Tim can drive a model T. Here he is in his first one with his grandfather.

This is Tim at his sister's graduation party, great picture!

Here with one of my set's of grandparents.

This is from the honeymoon, when we both were tan and skinny!

Ok, I hope you enjoyed the pics. Tim is an awesome husband and I am grateful for everyday I'm with him, so if you happen to have some time today, fam, call and wish him a happy birthday! (after 3pm)

My Teal Sweat Pants

I will post a picture of my pants later when I have one... But as I was just doing laundry I pulled them out to fold and I was just thinking how insanely ugly they are but oh so comfy. Does any one have an article of clothing that they know is heinous but they wear it anyway due to comfort or just shear love because of it's ugliness???

Preggers!!!! All around...

Jennifer- Jan '09
Lisa - Mar '09
Beth- Mar?? '09
Melanie- April '09


These are all the people, and there could be more, I just might be forgetting (that's not unusual) who have gotten pregnant this year. The are all around me, and although I am jealous (major!!) I am super happy for them, but pray that it does not become airborne!!

Florida???

So, as I try to get home today without having more than five people cut in front of me in traffic and then SLAM on their breaks, I wonder, why is Florida such a degenerative state? I mean, seriously, everyone who comes here wonders how you stay alive on the roads, and the people??? I've found some nice non-crazies, but seriously? What is with all the drama? And then the criminals... First there is this girl and then the boys below!

I mean, I could go on, but then this "post" would turn into a "rant" so I will say, probably most people their particular state is crazy, but I am starting to believe Florida has a breed of its own.

Thoughts about my weekend

So, this weekend I wanted to try finding something trendy and cheap at Forever21. Can someone please tell me how to shop there? Not only is the place MASSIVE, but I can never find clothes there that fit me just right. They are either too loose, which makes the tops low cut, or waaaaaay too tight. For me, paying an extra amount of money for to go to a store that has a limited set of options that fits well is something I call an "investment."

Second thing, we saw Mosters vs Aliens this weekend. I highly recommend it. It was too funny!!

Third thing, and I will end the post on a more poignant note. Tim is ending out his six week shift where he works on Sundays, so I only have two more "single" Sundays left! Point being I got complemented today on how someone thought that it was so great that I went to church even though it is definitely a little harder without Tim. And the first thought that came to my mind was, "My mom would kill me if I didn't have a good excuse for not going to church." Now, I know I am a grown adult and I make my own decisions, and my mother would not somehow punish me if she found out I did not go to church for a period of six weeks, she respects that I am a grown woman and can make decisions. But what I think that says is that, values have been ingrained in me by tireless efforts from wonderful parents. God uses your voices even now to speak to me. And to close, I am glad that I got up and went to church today without my mom's voice telling me to do so, but I thank God for any of the reinforcement in my life that gets me there!
