Second Day Jeans

I realized today that I really like 2nd day jeans. They are always way more comfortable on the 2nd day. You can pretty much guarantee that your day will be great when you put on your jeans on the 2nd day. Everything just doesn't matter when you have them on. The world could be going to you know where in a hand basket and it wouldn't matter because at least you are comfortable in your 2nd day jeans.

What do you guys think? Whose with me on the 2nd day jeans.

Nada mucho

I'm going to be working at the church tomorrow during the day helping Amy set up the new nursery area. I'm so excited. I love setting up rooms and decorating.

Friday and Saturday, I'm going to Women of Faith. I'm going with an anticipation that God will give me a fresh look at Himself. At the same time, I'm guarded, mainly because I've been disappointed by so many women's retreats/bible studies. I hope I don't leave with just a bunch of tips and tecniques on how to be a better wife / mother. I just want to know how to know God and love others more.

I guess I'll go eat worms

After reading posts about who is linking whose blog and who isn't, I decided to look and see who had my blog link on their site. To much dismay I realized that my own husband doesn't have my link on his blog. I am so ashamed.

Thanks to Robert and Todd for putting a link on their site.

I'm back!

Well, I've been back for about a week and it has taken me a while to sit and write. We've had Brittany C. here and have been busy taking her around to see the sites. It has been a blast. We spent a day in D.C. and we also went hiking at Morgan Run. I always feel so free-spirited when I get to go hiking. That feeling was all lost however when I almost stepped on a snake in the water. It was quite scary.

Today after church, we picked berries on our church property. The blackberries and raspberries are ripe now. After our snake incident at Morgan Run, we decided to pick berries from the Jeep so we could get away if a we were to see one. I would drive up to a bush and Brittany would hang out of the window and pick. It was quite funny.

As for our trip, we had a great time in N.Africa. We did some prayer walking and also taught English. On one of the days, I talked about American Celebrations including Christmas and Easter. As I talked about our the religious significance of these holidays, the room was very quiet and you could tell it was the first time they ever had heard these stories. It was amazing. Relationships were formed during the week and email addresses were exchanged. I pray this will result in more correspondence and will lead to spiritual discussions.

There were a few mishaps on the trip.

1. Most of us came home with some kind of stomach bug.

2. I was followed to my hotel by this man who said some not so nice things. I think he must have learned his English by watching porn. Who knew that overweight, 30-year old American women were hot?

3. A full suitcase fell on my big toe. When we got home, I dropped my empty suitcase on it. Then, a little girl stepped on it at church. Jason stepped on it tonight. I'm afraid I'm going to lose my toenail. Now, for you guys that is probably no big deal. However, girls you know how important cute toenails are during the Summer.
