christ is much!

my new saying for christmas is christ is much. it's kinda more fun. let's be honest here!
i love being at an elementary school during the holidays. they have made it so much fun! I have decided to only wear christ is much colours this week, with a flashy christmas light necklace. it has all been a total hit.

yesterday was my first work out back in ages and i did like superly surprisingly well!! i was really happy and tried this weird machine for cardio and i hated it but loved it at the same time. andddd guess what i got to watch while i did my workout?... you guessed it: sandy!

some odd/sad things are happening with my babies and i wish that i could take them and just keep them safe from everything bad. it's interesting this love that i have developed for them. and it's werid how i just want them in heaven so nothing sad or bad comes their way... even if they drive me bonkers 24/7. i guess it's the love of Christ. and i am thankful to have it.

i love my bed

so i am finally feeling better! Praise the good Lord above. this morning i decided to wear a dress to school... my love let me know how cute and great i looked and i felt great and cute... but when i got to school my principal asked me to go home and channnnggee!!! she said it was too short... i don't even wear revealing clothes!!! i started to cry because i was so embarrassed. whoopsie. i had a pretty good day though, my sis came to sub for me and of course my kids were awful. they were just so excited to meet her... i got super mad at them at the end of the day and now i feel so guilty. i'm going to have to apologize to them tomorrow morning.

i'm just going to be honest here bc i think 2 people read this: i am having a weird feeling, like i'm preggers. yikes! i won't go into details but i think i'm going to have to take a test. ew. not now. please Lord, not now. we arent ready. oh golly. i mean i know i'm not... right?

on a lighter note: tomorrow's my bday! it is usually a huge deal for me because i love attention, but this year i think i'm realizing that it's just a bday. i mean i'm still expecting preeezents and love and hugs and balloons and cake and plenty of attention, but i'm just not going to be as out spoken about it. so basically i'm just playin it cool!justin is trying to be secrete in the den... he is preparing my bday. could a gal ask for anything more? he was even going to bake my cake, until my sis said she wanted to do it.

i'm listening to mppa, the old stuff that i listened to when i fell in love with justin. i think i'll just fall asleep to this.

p.s. old pic of us... just thinking about those days gives me a gooooood feeling

not so great

so this week started off so great. on Monday i had a great workout with my bff and then went home to see my justin. we then went to lowes, home depot, and the grocery store... all so fun! we got lots and lots of christmas decorations, like lights and a rake!!! we also got gallons of paint to paint our new home.
when i went to bed, i bagan to have a stingy sore throat... and i thought a sinus infection was coming. we painted on tuesday and by tuesday night, i had kinda lost my voice. then we painted on wed, and my sis came over and i totally lost my voice. then thursday i felt horrible and had no voice. i went to the doc for another reason and she said, oh ya, you have the laryngitis! ahhh... and then they gave me a flu shot bc i got the flu last year. prob the most painful shot in the world. i couldnt use my left arm for the rest of the night. i still can use it today and i am def having flu symptoms and feel like i just want to curl up and die. i had to leave school early and i have just been sleeping with my puppy and coughing and crying a little.

we are going to put up decorations tomorrow... i pray i feel better. i wish the Lord would cure me from my bad immune system. :(

a very long but short week

this is the first night that we have had internet in our new house since we've moved in- and the saddest part... we actually have to pay for it. no more moochen off of our condo neighbors who forgot to put a password on their linksys account. wahh.

i have had a very eventful past several days... i love being productive and that's what i feel i have been doing because i have been non-stop.

in order to work at ncs i have to be certified by acsi and that requires me to go to a "how to teach in a christian skewl conference" I am all for that so i was supa excited to go and i got to room with my galpal, rach. overall the weekend was great. on monday i learned a lot of great things... basically love my students as Christ loved us and to find their strengths that the Lord gave them and use them to their fullest... which is hard to do!! but i will try my hardest. on tuesday, i learned that the fall of man happened in the 1960's. boo. not so informative! i welly missed my love while i was gone. waking up in the morning and not having him there was dreadful and unsettling. i never want him not to be by my side when the Lord rises me up in the morning.

wed, we slept in and then went shooopping! all goodies for his side of the fam. we wanted to get our brother and sister in law- who just had a baby, a beaba babycook but it just wasnt happening moneywise, so we just got them the an awesome babyfood cookbook! and from wed to now we have been on family overload. but it has been fun and good. you learn to love people as they are and to have lots of patience. i truly am so blessed to have justin's fam in my life... they are so good to me.

i am really tired. i need to go to the gym. i have been out of commission for awhile because of the move and everything, and i think a break is what i needed because now i have so many great ideas about my workout and i'm really excited to jump back into it again. i have a good tummy but my goal,by dec 27 is to have really hard abs and major definition in my tummy. i also want to be able to run for 25 mins- non stop. i know i can do it, i just get bored... so i will have to remedy that some how. i ate alot this week. this paragraph is flowing from my subconscious, so that's my cue to go to bed.

i promise to be good about writing. i am going to remind my sis to read about my life. my bff is, which is helpful.
goodnite. xo

welcome back, welcome home

so like always, my bff reminds me of things that i need to do/like to do/want to do- here i am 10 months after i last posted but this is a perfect time to jump back into writing my thoughts into a world that doesn't care.

ok... so i tried to post a pic of our new house and couldn't find it online anymore, so i googled homes to put a sweet lil pic of a cute home and unfortunately, this showed up:---> yowziers

my dream is coming true. i have always wanted a house of my own that i could make perfect and wonderful for my husband. we are moving in 2 days. i think it has not hit me... i dont understand why and i don't understand when it will hit me. I'm not nervous or anything because i have such faith in the Lord that this house is from Him- yay!

i'm tired. i need a break. my little babies are running me dry... and i feel like thanksgiving break will not be a break because i will have to be super cute and awesome for justin's fam. uh i'm not going to think about it right now- i'm getting a head ache.
wowziers i'm a downer right now!!!

I really do love life!!!!

baby sully

our dear friends lost their 5 day old baby.
the mother speaks of the newness that her child has now that he is in the arms of our Saviour.
when i am in the arms of Jesus Christ, my Lord, i will thank him for his beautiful and compassionate love.

this is me as a wife...i suppose.

Oh God, hold me now
Oh Lord, hold me now
There's no other man who could raise the dead
So do what you can to anoint my head

Oh God, where are you now?
Oh Lord, say somehow
The devil is hard on my face again
The world is a hundred to one again

Would the righteous still remain?
Would my body stay the same?

Oh God, hold me now
Oh God, touch me now
There's no other man who could save the dead
There's no other God to place our head

Would the righteous still remain?
Would my body stay the same?

There's no other man who could raise the dead
So do what you can to anoint my head

Oh God, hold me now
Oh Lord, touch me now

the fiddlehead fern

i'm looking into opening a tea room and a "itty bitty bakery"
I will name it the fiddlehead fern
it will have teapots from hundreds of years ago. the walls will be a pretty purple and a sage-e green. i will have 3 birds in beautiful cages that will play the music for our guest. there will be trees and ferns and mushrooms painted on the wall. it will feel as though you are in an enchanted forest. you will be able to step out of life while you drink your tea- you can believe in fairies and unicorns while you eat your scone.
it will be a mystical place.
