Guess what is coming?

Back for my birthday my very sweet sister and stepmom got me a gift certificate to The Vintage Pearl.  Well I took forever deciding what I wanted.  But I noticed she had a little deal where I got an additional 15% off, so I took advantage of it and ordered my necklace.  I cannot wait for it to get here!

I got the flower with Hannah and the circle with Jack

And I added one of these copper hearts.

Thoughts to Ponder?

Something that has been weighing heavily on my heart is about church membership.  So I am doing a little research but am curious about your thoughts as well.  Leave me some feedback, leave me some evidence, leave me a nasty gram, just leave me something!  (Sorry feeling a bit dramatic this morning)

So I know you don't have to attend church to be a christian, or do you?  I know alot of really good, moral people who don't attend church and I believe they will go to heaven.  But if you aren't part of a church, encouraging other Christians, serving the Lord, fellowshipping (is that a word?), are you being obedient to God?  Is the excuse of my husband/wife doesn't wanna go so I don't go because it takes away from family time valid?  What is a church?  Is it ok to be "members" of a church if you only believe 90% of their doctrine?  What do you do when one spouse was raised in this church and you were raised in another and they are very different?  Is it better to compromise so you attend one church as a family or go to two different churches dividing the family?

Once we get this all figured out girls I have some questions about communion and baptism that will have me being even more dramatic. . . 

Grrrrrrrr

Ok, so my husband's schedule is a rotation kind of thing, we could literally figure out what day he works 5 years for now.  So it is nice cause you can plan ahead.  Grrrrrr - today he gets a phone call that he is being moved to a different shift.  Nice huh!  Effective Sept 1st.  So I have spent the last two hours redoing calendars, figuring out if I have babysitting available etc.  This is not how I wanted to spend this beautiful day. 

Yes I know I am complaining, but I had to vent and who better to vent to then my blog friends.  And let me tell you one other thing I hate having to make changes on my pocket calendar.  OH MY!  There is so much white out on it now I might just go buy a new one. 

Help Wanted

I currently have two openings:

Babysitter needed:  College girl or stay at home mom wanting to make a little cash.  4 or 5 days a month, main responsibility will be for an adorable little man.  Must have a love of outdoors equal to his. 

Personal harasser:  Female friend needed, can't be nice, must hold me accountable to some sort of exercise/diet routine.  Very pushy is a must, and must be willing to drive to my house for interventions when needed.

I think that pretty well sums it up.  Applicants can apply by leaving a post or email me at sjhmarcee@peoplepc.com

First Day of Second Grade!

Here are some cute pictures of Hannah on her first day of school.  This was the first year that I haven't been home to take her, but Scott did a great job of getting the shots he knew I would want. 

Hannah with our dog, Koda

Hannah and her brother

Hannah at her desk

Hannah and her teacher, Mrs. Rinck.  Doesn't she look like an awesome teacher?

Funny Joke

WARNING - SOME MAY FIND THIS AS CRUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I was doing some cleaning out of files and found this joke I had printed off 9 years ago.  It still cracks me up, I know it is kinda crude, but you will laugh if you dare!

The Fireman's Sex Life. . .

A fireman came home from work one day and told his wife, "You know, we have a wonderful system at the fire station;

Bell 1 one rings and we all put on our jackets, Bell 2 rings and we all slide down the pole, Bell 3 rings and we're on the fire truck ready to go. 

From now on when I say Bell 1, I want you to strip naked.  When I say Bell 2, I want you to jump in bed.  And when I say Bell 3, we are going to make love all night."

The next night he came home from work and yelled "Bell 1!".  The wife promptly took all her clothes off.  When he yelled "Bell 2!", the wife jumped into bed.  When he yelled "Bell 3!", they began making love. 

After a few minutes the wife yelled "Bell 4!"  "What on this earth is Bell 4?" the husband asked.

"Roll out more hose," she replied, "You're nowhere near the fire!"

Go ahead, I know you laughed!

Weigh In Wednesday

So let me update you on the journey.  Ummmmm, let's say we have had some car trouble.  Kinda stalled out.  Thought I was gonna try a new diet - the hcg drops so I kinda blew it off for a week or so.  Now decided NO I don't wanna do the drops.  I would never recommend that diet to a patient so I will not do it to myself.  Anyway, I did get on ebay and order a 3 month WW journal and it came in yesterday so today I start again.  Good thing was I didn't gain back the two pounds I lost!  I will keep you all posted!
