My Other Life...

Thanks to Bob's Blog, I found out what I am when I'm not me.

You are most like Celeborn. You are normally a quiet person. Who needs to talk when actions speak louder that words? You are pretty popular, but your fame isn't that big of a deal. What's more important to you is making the world a better place.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all and to all a good........New Year. That doesn't sound right, well whatever. I hope each and every one of you are looking forward to this 2006 year and have some great exciting plans for it. Or as for me some pretty sweet resolutions. My first one is.......umm well...to call my mom more, ya. And the next one is to.....uh take a multi vitamin every day, ya that sounds good! Man when I think about it there's not much I need to change, ya that's right, I bet you wish you were in my shoes right now. Ok or maybe not but life's gooooooood!
Anywho best wishes to all for a fantabulous year to come. Oh and I think all of you, and yes you, should send me comments on your ideals for the new year. And the most original one get's a cookie. Made by me personally, cause I'm a baker now. That's right I now bake for a living, it's rough but someones got to do it. Anyways that's beside the point. Just load me up with comments. Why? Cause it's fun.

CAT

Hey I thought I should keep the tradition alive with having another random picture of an animal on here. This time this one belongs to me. It's our cat Strider. It's just another day of chillin at home for her.

Another Concert

Hey yall! I just recently went to a Jeremy Camp concert. It was pretty sweet. It was held at a Presbyterian church. And Man those Presbyterian's know how to make a church. It was perfect for a concert. There were 2 performers before Jeremy which were pretty good. The second performers were called the Afters and I think they really liked the word beautiful cause every song they sang was about something beautiful. But hey who doesn't. Anywho another thing that stuck out to me was there was a sign language person on the side signing the song words. I thought to myself how could anyone benefit from going to a concert if they couldn't hear it. But then I thought how closed minded is that. Maybe what they imagined they were hearing with the words was just as satisfying.
Visually the show was awesome with all the cool stage lighting.
Nick and I wanted to capture the moment and the only thing to do so was by using his high quality camera phone. And with that you'll have to check out my hubbies blog to see those top quality pics. Ciao.

My Birthday/Revival Weekend

By Lattitude 13

I am now 24! Yipee, I've lived another year! My birthday was this past weekend and I decided to go spend the weekend with my mom also knowing that the Christian band Kutless and other bands were going to be performing there.
We bundled up Saturday evening and headed out with one of my mom's friends and her son to the big shindig. It was already getting cold out so we thought we would run to a concession stand to get something hot to drink. Well we ended up listening to half of one band as we waited in line for about 45 minutes but hey it was worth it for that 10 oz. cup of spiced cider straight from the pouch.
Anywho we then made a beeline straight to the "mosh" pit. We caught the last bit of the girl band and their testimonials which created a stir of cheers and nothing but a good vibe. But most importantly Kutless was next. Their performance was nothing short of fantabulous. Along with bouncing up and down and throwing our hands in the air I felt spiritually moved, something that I feel I've been missing for awhile.
Once the concert was over we all began walking the long trek back to where we had parked. And as we walked I felt this renewed spirit within me. It was like I had been dead inside and everything that I had just experienced brought me back to life.
I believe how you confront every day is a decision made by you and you only. I've come to realize that it's not what's thrown at you but how you react to what's thrown at you is what's important. And for many people such as myself I need God in my life to have a good reaction. Some great advice was given by Stephen Baldwin at the concert, he said no bible no breakfast. He would read and then he could eat. I've taken it upon myself to do just that. I know God has a plan for my life and if I just allow him to lead me where he wants to take me I will no longer be scared of what the future holds.
Also for anyone who is like me and has a hard time reading all the versions out there in bibles, I just got a new one called The Message. It is in contemporary language and I actually understand it which really comes in handy when your reading it.

My First Ride in a Limo

I just recently had my one year wedding anniversary with the love of my life and he and the Limo driver made it a night I will always remember. (Hey, get your mind out of the gutter!)
A couple days leading up to it my husband said he had a surprise planned for it but of course would not divuldge that information. And as curious as I am, I was wracking my brain non stop on what he could be planning. He kept instructing me that I had to be ready at 6:00 and not one minute later. Finally a couple idea's popped into my head along with the idea of a Limo and suddenly I was anxious for the day to come.
6:00 the next evening there we were waiting out in front of our apartment complex when low and behold a Limo drove up. Yipee! I had had a sneaking suspicion but still the same was just as excited.
The limo driver opened our door and we both hopped in( well actually I was wearing a short skirt so I didn't exactly hop but you get the idea).
On the way to our restaurant we stopped at a red light and a girl began to cross the street in front of us, who to me looked like she had sausaged herself into a tight Elvis suit but that didn't hinder our driver who began to hit on her through his window. My husband and I forced back our chuckles as we continued on to our destination.
We soon arrived at the restaurant and the driver said he would be back for us in 1 1/2 to 2 hours. We had a fabu time eating, talking and joking.
We then continued outside to wait for our driver. We waited about 45 minutes and it was starting to get a little chilly so I slipped on my jacket, thinking it was a good idea anyhow beings we had been out there long enough for me to look like a common prostitute with my pimp by my side.
The limo finally arrived and we again "hopped" in. We both quickly discovered that he had waited at the beer gardens until he had to pick us up again and had obviously enjoyed himself given the alcohol on his breath and the stories he eagerly began to tell us. I found myself slowly holding on tighter to the plush seat in the limo and wondering why I hadn't seen any seatbelts. I started to become distracted from the imminent danger I may be in by a story of chocolate beer that he began to tell. Yuuummmm! Chocolate! Anyways we arrived safely home from my first limo ride ever. Later that evening I realized and shared with my husband that having that dude as our driver actually made it that much more memorable.
Moral of story: If your limo driver is drinking make it a must he bring you back a chocolate beer!
