My 30th Birthday

This year for my birthday I wanted to do something that everyone could enjoy. I thought it would be a great idea to go to the Travelers game. We had a really good time and I enjoyed having my friends come and celebrate with me. Right before we got there my parents called to tell me that they at the last second after everyone had boarded the plane minus my parents the airline got a call and said mom had been approved. Isn't God Great!!! Here are a few pictures of the game...well I didn't really watch the game or know who won. Haha maybe we did!

Please Pray

My parents left yesterday for Southeast Asia on a Mission Trip. A little background story before I get to my request. My mom was supposed to be leaving yesterday for a mission trip to Pakistan, which she has been to once before, well, being the worrier that I am I didn't want her to go. I prayed and prayed that God would somehow not let her go. She would always tell me that being in a country that is at war in the center of God's will was much safer than in your house out of God's will. I believed her but I still wasn't comfortable about it. Well, God had a different plan. A few months back a group asked her and my dad to go to Southeast Asia, mom and dad prayed and prayed for what they should do. Low and behold the Pakistan trip was cancelled and they are headed to a different part of the world to do God's plan.

I on the other hand am a nervous wreck. Growing up as an only child my parents and I have been super close and I don't do well when they leave me. Yes, I know I am thirty years old today, and I have a husband, but my parents are my rock! So now for the request. Last night my parents called me from LA and according to the government of the place they are going mom's passport is not valid, due to it expiring in six months. They were not aware that you couldn't enter the country if your passport is 6 months from being expired. My dad will not leave my mom behind, so they had a decision to make. Do they trust in the Lord and just go and hope for the best or turn back. At 2am our time, they both loaded the plane for Hong Kong, and are trusting the Lord will get them there. My mom is the biggest prayer warrior I know and prays for everyone even if she doesn't know what she is praying about. I am praying for her that everything will work out. She said she didn't come this far to turn back. Please lift her up today if you get a chance. I know my mom can be a missionary anywhere even if it is in a airport. She just has that gift. The Lord has a plan and I trust in him.

Big Brother my thoughts so far......

This season of Big Brother has been very different. I am not sure how much I like the cast, but I will continue to watch. It usually takes me a little bit to get used to the new cast. This year is full of drama and they are really mean to each other. Let me just give you my favs and the ones that I just can't stand.

• Jeff is an athlete and he is really cute all American guy. I like him the best (however he has a potty month)
• Jordan is the blonde kinda dingy girl. I really like her too and Jeff likes her too.
• Casey is a 40 year old school teacher that is a dj at night I like him too. He is very funny.
• Jesse is the pinhead from last season who I personally can't stand he stares at himself in the mirror and talks about how everyone likes him and he is constantly annoying. NEEDS TO GO!
• Natalie is a little girl who told everyone she was 18 but really she is 24. I do not like her all. She is one of those girls who thinks she knows everything and everyone should listen to her. She is constantly with Jesse and sleeps in his bed. Mind you she has a boyfriend. Not too classy!
• Ronnie is a dork who is very smart and he is the rat of the house. He is playing everyone and I hope he gets kicked off soon.

Well I hope you enjoyed my BB11 recap! Have a great week. Summer is almost over!

The Proposal!

This is my new favorite movie. I went with a few girlfriends a few weekends ago and it was fabulous. I hadn't been to the movies is a very long time, because my hubby likes to get all the new releases on Tuesday at Red Box, so we never go and pay for a movie. Well, this was an exception. There were tons of men and women in the theater and at one point I looked around and everyone was laughing. I must say I was belly laughing. I usually don't laugh out loud when watching tv or during movies, but I was laughing so hard that others around were laughing because I was laughing. (they told me this after the movie) To top it off the little dog in the movie is named KEVIN! I enjoy the little things in life and this made it more funny to me. Ryan Reynolds is very easy of the eyes and Sandra Bullock is super funny. If I was writing a movie review I would give it 2 thumbs up or 5 stars! So, if you are looking for a great movie to spend $9.25 on here is your answer. Enjoy!

Chalkboard Refrigerator

This weekend Kevin and I did one of our many projects. We think it is so much fun to make little changes in our house. We got this refrigerator a couple of years ago when we moved in for $20. Talk about a deal! I hated it because it was white and gross and didn't go with any of our brand new appliances. Kevin said to just be patient and we would get a new one soon. Well, those things are really expensive and we just never got around to getting one. One day while surfing the net I found this wonderful idea. I told Kevin and he said sure lets do it. So, one trip to Home Depot for some $12.99 chalkboard paint and now we have a great canvas. I loved how it turned out. We decided we would have a weekly Bible verse and would add random things. I got some really cute "m" and "k" magnets and I love them. I bought an extra can of paint so that when school starts back up I can do some cute thinks in my classroom. If you have any ideas I would love to use them. Hope everyone is staying cool during these hot summer months.

UFC 100 and little trip to L and D!

Kevin likes to make goofy faces when getting his picture made.

Kevin and Chris being goofy before the fight!

Kevin and I gearing up for the fight!

Kevin is a huge UFC fan and a few Saturday's ago he actually got to go and watch a amature fight downtown in the River Market. He went with some of his friends and loved every second of it. This past Saturday was UFC 100 and of course we had friends over to watch the fight. All of our friends know that if there is fight on we will have it!! Most girls don't really like UFC, but I am a fan. Seeing people get all bloody an gross is sorta fun! My evening was cut a little sort due to some little babies trying to make an early appearance....no I think they just like their mom and I to spend quality time together on Saturday nights. They sounded like like they were having a little UFC fight of their own. HAHA!! No, I was more than happy to hang with them.

Joe's Jeans

Joes Jeans are my favorite brand of jeans. This particular pair are "The Muse" with the "Tricky" wash. I bought this pair a few years ago and I have wore them out and now they are needing to be retired. I am going to have to get another pair. They are $174.00 which I would never pay for just an ordinary pair, but I make the exception for these. Now I just need my stomach to look like this girls...I wonder how much that would cost, cause I might be willing to pay. Do you have a favorite pair of jeans??? If so share them with me I am curious. I know I ever rarely get comments and that is ok with me, but feel free to leave me one if you like.
