The little things in life are what make me the happiest

Today has been a really great day.
As everyone knows today is Father's Day! I had a really great time just spending time with my parents today.

Church this morning was great as always. Afterwards we went to Outback steakhouse for father's day lunch. I love that place it is so good! While we were waiting to be seated one of my favorite cartoon movies was on "The Fox and the Hound" so that made me really happy :).

I got a steak, some mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables! YUM YUM. While we were eating my mom was cracking me up. We were reading the desert menus and one of the deserts was called "Chocolate thunder from down under" and my mom says "I bet you that desert will give you some thunder from down under" (like passing some major gas) hahahahaha. oh my gosh I could not stop laughing. so funny. I love just laughing and hanging out with my parents it is always entertaining :).

Also there is this men's retreat through my church and I really wanted my dad to sign up for it because I think it would be so good for him to meet other godly men. I have been praying about it and he signed up for it today!! yay. God is so good. I just look back on all the things my family has been through and how he has lifted us all up from that. My family is such an example of God's unfailing grace!
After lunch we all came back home to open cards/gifts for father's day.

I had to go into work today from 4-8:30. It wasn't too bad but it wasn't great..I mean it is work. haha.

I came home from work and watched the Tony Awards with my mom. I LOVE the tony's because they show you little bits and pieces of broadway shows..and if you know me you know I'm obsessed with musicals and such! I want to go and see a Broadway show SO bad one day.. I promised my mom that when I'm rich (HA!) me, her, and my sister are all going to go!

After my parents went to be I spent some time with Jesus. The devotional was all about not waiting around for one of Jesus thrilling moments but learning to live in common times of life. Nothing extremely "thrilling" is going on in my life right now but I should be praising and worshiping Christ everyday!

Work, Work, and more Work

I'm sorry that I have not written in such a long time. This is actually the first week where my work has scheduled me a lot of days!!

The past couple of days have consisted of going to church, eating at cracker barrel, working, chillin, going to the pool with laney, caroline, and juliana, working, going to the pool with the pops, eating at ruby tuesday's, and working. haha

and can I just mention my new obsession with ruby tuesday's. their turkey burgers are DELICIOUS! ive never gone there until this year and now I go all the time haha. Cracker Barrel is bangin' too but I've known that for awhile. When I went I got the Uncle Herchels Favorite...hashbown casserole, scrambled eggs, bisquit, and ham..YUM YUM.

as you can see I have nothing better to talk about then restaurants haha.

hopefully my post will be better tomorrow!!
ta-ta for now :)

I am made for such a greater world than this one

So I didn't update yesterday which means that this blog will be extra long yay!!

Yesterday I got up and went to church. It was such a great service. We sang one of my favorite worship songs "How Great Is Our God". I love that song because it is so true.. God is so great and not one of us deserves it! Our main Pastor spoke and he has been doing Revelation since January. Revelation is such a difficult and sometimes scary book but it holds so many promises for us as believers! As he was talking about a chapter in Revelation I kept thinking about all the times that I worry about the littlest stuff. The things that I think matter in this world don't because as a believe I do not belong to this world! It was so great to be reminded of these promises.
After church moms, pops, and I went over to Brueggers Bagels for lunch which was yummy. We sat and talked about the sermon.. I love talking about God to my parents just because we don't do it enough.
It was a really hot day so I headed down to the pool and speant sometime with Jesus. I also read old entries in my journal. It was amazing to see how God answers prayers!
Later that evening I went to the $1.50 movies with Ythaul, Laura, Lacey, Stephen and Yaron. We saw "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" which could have been a lot better if it wasn't so vulgar! I had to cover my eyes several times in that movie!
We all were hungry after the movie so we took a trip over to Wendy's which was delicious!
Talked to Mike on the phone for a little bit then headed to bed!

Today I woke up at 12:00 (im such a bum). Talked to my good ole friend Ashley Hitchcock which was great! I miss that girl!
I then headed into work until 6.
Came home and decided to go on a cleaning spree since I am having a very special guest over in three days!
I organized/rearranged my room, cleaned the guest room, and vaccummed! I get in these weird moods where I just want to clean..and tonight was an example of that!

Well I'm going to hang out with the rents now!

Prince Caspian is Hot

Today has been a really good day! I actually did not just sit around. Yay me!

Went to church today and it was amazing! They honored all of the the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marinees, etc. for memorial day, it was great. We had a guest speaker from Scotland, he was really good and he had a cool accent ha!

After church I ate lunch with the fam and then headed over to Kate's pool with Caroline, and Laney. That was fun to see all of them!

We stayed for about three hours and then I went home because I wanted to go for a jog. I jogged/walked around Johnson Lake (a good three miles). It was such a beautiful day outside.. I'm glad it is finally getting warm!

Sandy, Laura, Ythol, Yaron, Stephen and I all decided to go see Prince Caspian! SO GOOD! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! Plus Prince Caspian is hot (hence the title) hahaha.

There were a couple of lines that Aslan said that were great. One is where Lucy tells Aslan that he has grown and he says "As you grow so will I"..so good (Quinn i stole your quote haha). But overall it was a great movie plus I love hanging out with those folks!
