We lost Micah's stuffed puppy for a day this week. It was truly traumatic...I didn't know I was as attached to puppy (or more) than he was. Thankfully he was at the check in counter at the Dr. office. Counted my blessings on that one.
Aidan had a rite of passage of cashing in his money at the bank and going to the Lego store (Colorado Mills mall for you Lori) and selecting his very first EARNED lego. We have started the chore chart and he is loving it. Good stuff. I only hope his enthusiasm continues. If this continues I will have more accomplished than I can imagine around here...He loves to "have a job".
And yes here is my top 5...or 6 or 3
5 things you can’t live without under 5 dollars:
1. Two Decaf coffees brewed at Starbucks with cream and sugar (under 5) and the DVD player (ok more than 5 bucks I know) in the car for the boys so Jeremy and I can talk.
2. Magazines and Catalogs.
3. Fruit.
4. Water bottles (that I keep losing and usually cost more than 5 bucks to begin with)
5. Lego guys for Aidan. He can take just one guy out of the house and be entertained for hours…now if we could only find Micah entertainment like that.
5 Favorite Movies:(in no particular order and change all the time)
Ok…favorite is too hard so these are movies that either make me think or are just good for the soul.
1. Dead Poets Society
2. A Beautiful Mind
3. Stand By Me
4. Footloose
5. Forget
5 Songs (or albums) you could listen to over and over again: (again, no order)
1. Rich Mullins any song any time…except for that goofy battleship song.
2. Mixes that my sis in law Jenn gives me
3. Old Monster Ballads
4. Sarah McLachlan Christmas Album…especially “River”
5. Jennifer Knapp “Faithful”
5 people who have had a positive influence in your life:
1. My husband…who has challenged me to grow since “Country Kitchen days” and loves me more than anybody.
2. Freda…who I call my “adopted grandma”. She took in our family from the day my parents moved into the neighborhood. She lived with joy until the Lord took her home. I hope I can be an old woman like that (well and a young woman like that too!)
3. Denise…my cousin who has been a sister to me since day one.
4. Aidan and Micah…if your kids don’t have a positive influence on you I don’t know who will! Nothing like little eyes watching your actions and life.
5. My dad…who lived his vows faithfully “till death do us part”.
6. And yep my whole band of sisters.
5 things in your purse you cannot live without:
1. Cell phone/Bluetooth
2. Keys
3. Wallet
How does all that take up all that space? J
5 moments that changed your life forever:
1. Waking up at a track meet to have a phone call from my dad to hear the news that my mom had died.
2. Going to CCU in the fall of 1995.
3. Sitting on a park bench with Jeremy in the fall of 1995 and having “the talk”…my wedding day wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for that day.
4. Sitting at Macaroni Grill and realizing I don’t want to grow old and have no grandkids…and thus Aidan is in the making.
5. Getting a job as a Math Teacher with an English and PE degree.
5 current obsessions:
1. Celebrating the everyday.
2. Challenging others to grow and live with passion.
3. Finding ways to put flaxseed in everything.
4. Making sure that things are special…as soon as it becomes entitlement then it’s time to reevaluate.
5. Finding what truly fills me up in life.
5 places I would love to travel:
1. Backpacking anywhere with just Jeremy and I.
2. Touring by bike…again pretty much anywhere.
3. The beach. Just give me water and sunshine!
4.
5. Holy Lands
