And I wish this one would show up better...but papa schwee is still on the tree...what a great memory of hanging this one on the tree a few years ago...and OF COURSE it had to make a reappearance!!!
Girlfriend- I think you might have been in the 8th grade in this one...and Yes..it made it to the tree as well...
We just bought our first Christmas tree!!! This is Dawn, Liz, Garrett and I after we bought our tree at Lowe's!!
So it was 19 degrees this morning when I walked out of my apartment!! YIKES!!! Praise God!! Fall is here!!! I LOVE Tennessee in the fall! Amazingly beautiful. I'll post pictures soon!
AND...Next week is Thanksgiving! Oh my gosh! I cannot and WILL NOT contain my excitement about going home to see my friends and family!!
Let's see how well this'll work...
From time to time there are lyrics within a song that get stuck in my head, these are ten that frequently find themselves hanging out in there...
Let's see how well you know my taste in music if you can figure these out (no cheating!!..how well do you know these off the top of your head)...
1. "I miss you, I guess that I should"
2. "what the hell is going on?"
3. "standing on the edge of the begining and end"
4. "I found my strength in forgiving you, I never even dreamed how far my heart could go."
5. "and if it ever was there and it left, it doesn't mean it was never true."
6. "sing me to sleep"
7. "you just might find if you give it time you will wave hello again"
8. "honey, surely one of us is crazy"
9. "take a look at my face for the last time"
10. "Doesn't mean everything must change"
BONUS: "I was always taught well, be the strong one, keep it inside"
Alright...let's see it...GO!
Hey Friends!!
Just want to update you on whats going on in my world, and how maybe you can help spread the love of Christ to children over seas.
I work for a non-profit organization called Operation Christmas Child. Every year we collect over 8 million shoe boxes full of unused toys and other items to send to children in countries all over our world!! Collection week is coming up Nov. 14-21st and I just couldn't not use this opportunity to spread the word.
You can help!! All you need to do is find an old shoe box (or a plastic box from wal-mart thats about the size of a shoe box) and fill it with toys and other items and take it to a drop off location near you. Each box will get sent to a child in a foreign country, along with a gospel message in their language. If you go to www.samaritanspurse.com it will give you a list of suggested items and also has a zip code locator, so you can type in your zip and find the closest place to drop off your box. Seriously guys, you have no idea the difference this tiny little shoe box can make in a child's life, especially a child that has nothing. I just want to encourage all of you to do at least one shoe box!!
P&L.
