Kids yet?
No don't get any ideas!!
We are not having kids yet. ha ha. That actually makes me laugh out loud just thinking of me being in charge of another person's life. I try so hard to be organized, but there is just not one organizational bone in my body. This just HAS to be a genetic thing right?
I feel quite certain I will leave my child at Walmart at least once in his life. Poor thing. How would you like to pop into the world and look up and see Aaron and I? .....and ask God, "Are you serious?" "You gave me to THEM?"
hahahahahahahaha! I am totally kidding..... When we do have kids they will be loved so much they won't be able to stand it, we will teach them all about Jesus who loves them even more than us....we will dress them in jordan shorts/shoes and big bows....they will get to play in the mud...they will have the BEST cousins in the world (shout out to Carter and Averi and the third baby by the time we have kids! ha) ....they will get to go to the park , and ride on Krunch's back like a horse......ahhh just the thought makes me smile.........but still......doesn't rush me!
All that to say that being around kids (high school kids) on a daily basis has taught me so much about life and ones influence on things. There is not a day that goes by that the Lord has not caught my attention through my high schoolers or Aaron's.
Example #1: (my personal favorite) There is a sweet sweet girl at EHS that all year long Aaron has taken under his wing, and really kind of had a sweet spot for. She is a really good kid with a sweet family, pregnant mom, and dad is not really in the picture. Anyway Aaron has done lots of great things for them, like rides, food, etc. You know practicle things you need help with being a mom of 3 with not lots of help. Anyway recently she started calling Aaron "Dad." Her theory was that, "Aaron you are my dad #2, because I have to have a real dad, but you are the one I like."
Isn't my husband sweet?
#2: This girl I had in my PE class is always in just an OKAY mood. Never too happy, but not like depressed by any means! Anyway, she stopped and asked me Friday before spring break, "Coach, why are you always so nice?" "Don't you get tired of us?" haha, I say that to point out two things. #1 My attitude that day MAY have been a little BLAH, if you will, with it being the friday before spring break. and #2. God has a fun way of reminding us that He loves us. EVEN on the Friday before spring break when you think everyone is just going through the motions!
LOVE IT!
anyway I am off to bed, and a note to all....maybe my memories of kids right now are so fond from the sheer fact that it is SPRING BREAK. Ask me again next week!
KIDDING!

Here We go....again!
Aaron and I watched a really good movie tonight....The Kingdom. It has Jamie Fox and Jenniefer Garner. Lots of good people and a really really good movie if you are interested in middle east stuff!
Things we discovered this weekend.....
1. Aaron and I are the biggest procrastinators EVER. (this is not the first weekend we have realized this.)
2. There is no such thing as a weekend if you are a coach, but I did get to see my MOMMY this "weekend." Is tomorrow already Monday?
3. I LOVE GEORGE STRAIT!!!......(I was very aware of this before today though)
4. We serve AN AWESOME GOD!!
5. and even though we love Jesus, we STILL forgot to set our clocks forward and woke up 3 min before church.......oops
6. One week until spring break!!
7. I have discovered that praying for people you don't even know, is very fun!
That's all for now, maybe now that I know how to do the picture thing...I'll put more next time!!! oh and if you remember......Pray for my lil brother and his soccer team on Monday. It's a MUST WIN!!! GOOD LUCK TANNER!!

My mind at bed time!
Ok I really really have to share because lately at bed time my mind has been going CRAZY. 90 miles per hour. loco. outta control. It doesn't all go together. In fact it is actually very scatterbrained, but then again that's the way I operate!! All that to say here are some of the million thoughts, funny moments, insightful words, and pics that find themselves in my thoughts every night at 11 pm!
This is my husband DANCING before his basketball game....yes he was listening to his "crunk" music! (note: one will have better abdominal muscles from being married to this guy, because the dancing is an everyday occurance.) and excuse the dogs chair in the background!
Next...words to songs that are pretty special when they pop in my head throughout the day......
I will never stop knowing the joy that you bring...Daniel Doss Band
Jesus, you know just how far the east is from the west..... I don't have to see the man I've been rising up in me again........In the arms of your mercy I find rest...cause you know just how far the east is from the west.... one scared hand to the other
Casting Crowns
It's only the world I'm livin in, It's only today I've been given, There aint no way im givin in cause its only the world.................I know the best is still yet to come cause even when my days in the world are done...there's gonna be so much more than only the world for me- Mandisa
Let it be said of us that we live to be a blessing for life.... this day you set life you set death right before us, this day every blessing and curse is a choice now, and we will choose to be a blessing for life! -John Waller
Another very fun thing happened to me this last week.....I had an issue come up that I really did not know the right way to handle. I really don't need to POST the issue, ha, but the fun thing about it was God completely spoke to me about the perfect way to handle it once through Aaron, and then again on Sunday through the absolutely surprising message at church. And yeah! it's getting worked out HIS way, not mine!
Random thought # 57: Last weekend Aaron and I and another coach took the FCA kids from EHS to a Lady Raider Game. Lots of fun!!!
I also tried a new recipe: Apple Dumplings/Turnovers (whatever you want to call them! ha!)
One can of cresent rolls
1/2 cup sugar
2 tea spoons cinnomon
1 stick of butter
8 0z mountain dew
one BIG green granny apple
mix and melt the sugar, cinnamon, butter, and I added vanilla......mix all together
cut the apple in 8ths and wrap the cresent rolls around each slice - one per roll
spray the pan, put the rolls stuffed with apples in the pan. Pour the butter mixture over the top of the cresent rolls. Last pour the mountain dew over everything and bake at 350 for 35-45 min!! ITS AMAZING!! eat with vanilla ice cream!!
And us on the way to church! Random pic to go with the random post!!
LOVE YALL!!!
