Matt Kenseth!!


As many of you know my husband is the biggest Matt Kenseth fan ever. Well, this past Sunday Matt Kenseth won the Daytona 500!!! I don't know who was more excited Matt or Kevin. I am not going to say that he cried but I think we know haha!! When Kevin and I started dating I too became a fan of the black and yellow! I was very excited that Matt won, but I was more excited to watch Kevin. He was jumping up and down and couldn't wipe the smile off his face for anything. I would do anything for Kevin to actually meet Matt Kenseth, but I don't know if Kevin could handle it. We have been to several races and seen him from afar but I honestly don't think it would be safe for us to get any closer. I was glad that when Matt won he thanked his personal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I told Kevin one day they would get to meet in heaven!!! I am glad that will happen someday! Kevin has so much MK stuff it is unreal.....he tries to convince me it would be ok to display his things, but for now they are hidden in a closet and that is where they are going to stay. Happy Wednesday!

Please pray!!!

My family has a friend from church named Allen Smith. His family is truly amazing and they are going through a terrible storm right now. Mr. Allen had some problems back in August that left him in the hospital for about a month with some problems that never could really be diagnosed. Through much prayer and the strength of the Lord, he came through like a champ. It was one of God's miracles that I believed I witnessed. Well fast forward to now and they are in the same boat again. Please pray for his strength and for strength for his wife and children. It breaks me knowing they are dealing with all this again, and no one really knows why. Well, God knows and He is the healer and I pray for peace that passes all understanding for them. Please lift them up!!!

Funny things about ME!

I have been noticing lately how everyone has little quirks that only they have and I think it is funny to hear about how other people are so here are some funny things about me! Keep in mind I am only child so maybe this has a lot to do with my ways!!!

I have never jumped off a diving board.

I never had cable until I moved out of my parents house when I was 21. They got cable the following year!!

I was terrified that my parents might win the publisher's clearing house. Then my dad wouldn't work at church and mom wouldn't teach school. Seriously, I would hide the stamp thing when it came in the mail.

I am pretty much a fearful person..... to list a few:
elevators
wouldn't ride on a boat till I was 18!
any ride at Disney World....at 8 I told my parents to go have fun I'll just wait on this bench.
Mormons-don't' ask long story
lake water
getting water in my ears

My parents didn't listen to the radio in the car so we had the Baptist Hymnal I memorized almost everyone.

I visualize everything....including how people look before I meet them, and what people's houses look before I see them.

I put on my left shoe before I put on my right.

I used to want to be a cashier at Kroger.

I said I would never be a teacher, or go to UALR....i did both

I love the way the scissors sound when they cut the fabric at Hancocks.

I miss the way my grandparents false teeth sounded when they chewed food. HAHA it sounded like a tick tick tick!

I loved sleeping in my parents room...i would write them a note saying can I sleep in your room check yes or no and I would run away.

I never thought I wouldn't make drill team. When I didn't in 8th grade I told my parents...this can't be happening to me. I made it the next year!!

I lied to all my elementary friends telling them I had an air conditioned tree house with a water bed. I wanted to fit in!

In the swimming pool while most people were swimming I was baptizing all my friends.

I thought Jesus was the women who took up the offering in church. My parents said we give money to Jesus and she is who I gave my money to so I thought that was who Jesus was.

I made my mom talk to me in a little girl voice. I called her Little Rebecca!!!

Getting new KEDS shoes was my favorite summer outing.

I would sing hymns to my friends on the playground at school!

I had to count to 100 every day at nap before I went to sleep.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed my little quirks....what are some of yours???
