Granted, we are making it. I just need some advice, pointers, how to's, and anything else that you can think of. <br /><br />Here is the the issue: time management.<br />Reason: I'm a wife, a mom, a teacher, and a coach.<br /><br />If you are a mom that works, give some ideas on how to get everything done that needs to be done, but, still have a time to be a wife and mom. (Those are the two most important things to me!)<br /><br />Just looking for some ideas! <br /><br />Thanks!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14916263601656586876noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299035594947452631.post-34447978105724904432010-10-05T19:33:00.000-07:002010-10-05T19:42:54.548-07:00I think I can, I think I can....Tuesday night at 9:34pm and we are still trucking along well. It has been interesting these last two days to say the least. <br /><br />I miss Lillee all.day.long.<br />I am very thankful for my job at Trinity, but my heart is torn. <br />I am blessed to have a precious little girl who smiles at us and holds her head up.<br />I am privileged to have a job with the economy like it is.<br />I absolutely love getting to pick her up in the afternoon and hearing her sigh when I hold her.<br />I have some great coaches that I get to work with.<br />I am close to daycare, about 4 blocks close, and I am thankful that I can see Lillee during my conference.<br />I love getting to invest in the lives of Trinity students.<br />I love getting to hold my sweet girl.<br /><br />Needless to say, these 2 days have been hard. I keep saying my head, I think I can, I think I can. And I can....it just might not be easy. But, I have some pretty incredible friends that have been covering me in prayer this week. <br /><br />"Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens."

I put Lillee in swing and decided we would have the "talk." Since she can't argue or talk back or give me attitude I thought we would go ahead and have the talk about boys, dating, sex, and everything else you are suppose to talk your kids about. So many times it ends up being hard to have the talk with them, I just thought we would go ahead and get it out of the way......so we did! This is all in Parenting 101. I recommend that all parents have this talk with their 2 month old! <br />Here are things we now have an understanding about:<br />1. no talking back<br />2. no rolling of the eyes<br />3. no arguing<br />4. there will be a curfew <br />5. no dating until you are 29<br />6. you will go to college and major in something you can actually use (lesson learned from me on that one)<br />7. don't count on us being rich at all<br />8. there will be an interview process when you do start dating at 29 <br />9. boys 4 years old and younger have cooties....stay away from them! <br />10. we love you and only want the VERY best for you!<br />Since we had this talk, we have nothing to worry about later on in life. We just keep loving on her and praying for her!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14916263601656586876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299035594947452631.post-2185355588853161952010-09-06T13:22:00.000-07:002010-09-06T13:39:21.930-07:00Weezer and PaThis past week, Chad had the opportunity to lead worship at my school's high school retreat. Trinity High School students and staff get out of town for a few days and have a retreat. They have worship, speaker, and games and just hang out as a high school. This is a great time for the students. They love it! Chad and the guys that lead worship did too. But it took him a few days to recover, he was pretty tired! <br />While Chad did that, Lillee and I went to see Weezer and Pa. My brother got his son, Caleb to call our parents Weezer and Pa. My family has always called my mom Weezer. So.....when Caleb was old enough to talk...this is what he called them! We LOVE it! <br />Lillee and I had no plans but to hang out with Weezer and Pa and my grandparents. We got to see one of my aunts and some of her grandkids as well. That was an added bonus! We really had a great time. Lillee did great in the car, she slept the whole way! We go to Robert Lee Tuesday afternoon and left Friday around noon. <br />Here are some pictures from the trip:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEnR_qYP4PJgXMryLeSnmAgrMd7tFbnvYeb4gkWDxO-aQbCT7aBa8YdxKSGYc8g3P_UlXnNa9PDeg54Ub7uSK7jdMZ4DJA6-AEgoYGuDbKhdO4iklt0vcdMCo4kUufKh_Sr76H7wXc9G0s/s1600/DSC00303.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Also known to us as perfect! Things went so smooth that day. Thank you Jesus. I was totally nervous and freaking out, but thankfully things went great. <br />Since July 20, we have had family stay with us. Tons of friends stop by to check on us...well, not on us, but to hold Lillee. Which is understandable....she's pretty cute. <br />Everyone was so concerned about Pearl with a baby. When we got Lillee home, Pearl smelled of her and then she was done with her.

WHO DOES THAT? Really, who as soon as they find out what they are having gets the room done? If you (reader) did this....wow....I'm impressed. Our response when we were asked was that we had plenty of time. Apparently to some people (Mom, Heather, Jenny, and the list could go on) its good to have things completely done before the actually arrival of your baby. <br />Chad is youth camp right now and will be home Friday by midnight....and I am proud to announce that the room is DONE! 5 days before I am to be induced....It is DONE! Finished....Completed...DONE! Give me five or pound it or something. Better yet take me to get a Dr. Pepper at Sonic or ice cream. I should get something out of the deal.<br />Now not to get everyone's hopes too high....still no bags yet. Why you might ask....we have PLENTY of time! <br />I go back to the doctor on Monday afternoon and will find out then what time to be at the hospital on either Monday night or Tuesday morning. <br />Here are a few pictures of the room.....and remember....we have plenty of time! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNlOUsuixFFwtdcxObArl6AB9NJwOSdpC5ODXZHLLpy6sRTJwH0iuGVPeqq1-_mQEhayZ5ec4PXnuBScE1ZUubNz_b0w8bkh1ud9-koIRNBO1Kd8IFD3l9kRI0u8a1ERb35fPtCPgOFKeq/s1600/DSC00020.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNlOUsuixFFwtdcxObArl6AB9NJwOSdpC5ODXZHLLpy6sRTJwH0iuGVPeqq1-_mQEhayZ5ec4PXnuBScE1ZUubNz_b0w8bkh1ud9-koIRNBO1Kd8IFD3l9kRI0u8a1ERb35fPtCPgOFKeq/s400/DSC00020.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494356371877492242" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU-3iUyzuZvYQvd9V2aOrq_54Eok0CIoNBOykPyddDZ6R7ujV5Qxyo1pNQ4MCCcBo4BuIZaCmmFFSN7slrtFh23T8HnrgwWD8SLlL0c6QgypfBahkOXiV0xmbug4Fv5zv-o1mgZWe_tSYv/s1600/DSC00019.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU-3iUyzuZvYQvd9V2aOrq_54Eok0CIoNBOykPyddDZ6R7ujV5Qxyo1pNQ4MCCcBo4BuIZaCmmFFSN7slrtFh23T8HnrgwWD8SLlL0c6QgypfBahkOXiV0xmbug4Fv5zv-o1mgZWe_tSYv/s400/DSC00019.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494356368905138882" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7lu_vT0JUrVzna5txG-rmGuPl3OgrXiLewk6Ar8h0dfOz-bANStGKmn7b5w2rk4MLX-Pg7ijlciPCBv6qrcNgkJXfS_1lIUj-aUeH_hMMd5CjdStNq1ohtywSfr88nj1cDJWySWgF3bfi/s1600/DSC00018.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7lu_vT0JUrVzna5txG-rmGuPl3OgrXiLewk6Ar8h0dfOz-bANStGKmn7b5w2rk4MLX-Pg7ijlciPCBv6qrcNgkJXfS_1lIUj-aUeH_hMMd5CjdStNq1ohtywSfr88nj1cDJWySWgF3bfi/s400/DSC00018.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494356357996026370" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14916263601656586876noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299035594947452631.post-45080302293573980642010-07-09T20:37:00.000-07:002010-07-09T20:48:12.020-07:00Counting Down.....I'm guessing by now since I haven't posted in so long, nobody even reads this.

We went out to eat, looked at Christmas lights, and stopped at Sonic before coming home to open gifts. Thanks to a family on the varsity girls basketball team we ate at an extremely nice place. It was GREAT! Then we drove around for a few minutes to look at Christmas lights. I asked to make the usual stop at Sonic to get a drink then we came home and opened presents. We both had a great time of hanging out, opening presents, and then playing the Wii! Here are a couple of pictures from opening gifts.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLsYATRMT98Gw-WWWDgwnyZS1NViK8Y1mXLWT45oJ7AkOCg7hR81vHUKLacWDfkJkKclijUndCVhipzV2a_95iMMwF87xOGZmKhmkNRKbO0mCU3AQMNRcUVPV9qTVkr0IowLTzHTyPYZ8P/s1600-h/DSCF4607.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLsYATRMT98Gw-WWWDgwnyZS1NViK8Y1mXLWT45oJ7AkOCg7hR81vHUKLacWDfkJkKclijUndCVhipzV2a_95iMMwF87xOGZmKhmkNRKbO0mCU3AQMNRcUVPV9qTVkr0IowLTzHTyPYZ8P/s400/DSCF4607.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418971497967047778" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaO966TEHgbFNRxhftUKKLfacohgqWEir_RD51Rxgx_EyPmbyGTmIdYmCIgAwZKrWCKTFvrOfMf-zByQlNcXBFIAblkCJlfXRaMw13ad22VOTkRZ4KjywJJ47mEpRjeeTuX2Ua72a3kJXm/s1600-h/DSCF4601.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaO966TEHgbFNRxhftUKKLfacohgqWEir_RD51Rxgx_EyPmbyGTmIdYmCIgAwZKrWCKTFvrOfMf-zByQlNcXBFIAblkCJlfXRaMw13ad22VOTkRZ4KjywJJ47mEpRjeeTuX2Ua72a3kJXm/s400/DSCF4601.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418971494095270194" /></a><br />Then Christmas Eve, Chad woke up and yelling from the back door, "Jodee, Jodee come see this." Granted, its about 7:30am when he did this. I was planning on sleeping till about 9, getting up and getting things gathered up to head to Midland to see Justin, Ashley and their new baby, then head on to Odessa. Our plans suddenly changed at 7:30am. There would be no leaving Lubbock around 11am or for that matter who knew when we would leave. There was a TON of snow outside. It was blowing snow, almost like a mini blizzard. It was CRAZY! I thought we would get a little snow, but did not expect as much as we did. About 11am Chad and I went outside to take pictures and play in the snow, but it was to stink'n cold to be outside long at all. We took some pictures and came back inside fast. Around 2pm we decided that it would be melted off enough to head to Midland and Odessa....WRONG! We couldn't even get to our dumpster behind our house, so we thought we could drive to the church to throw away the trash and then we could also see how the roads were. The roads weren't any better. There were patches of ice and packed down snow. We made the decision to stay home even though we both wanted to see everyone. Decide to be smart, instead of chancing it. Here are some of pictures of the snow! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDd92IxhfEHlPXs7eIW20R-mlCRc-Z0OFhGPjk0A8mIN3_bTeiKM3Ssji6tRimFCPRBeLNDFAsXZh3jiP4j0llNZXLpQPGWAn22bzEDGpiJhY7MuBKxPveLnCvksGn6hx5tu0Fl8HeMja4/s1600-h/IMG_0605.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDd92IxhfEHlPXs7eIW20R-mlCRc-Z0OFhGPjk0A8mIN3_bTeiKM3Ssji6tRimFCPRBeLNDFAsXZh3jiP4j0llNZXLpQPGWAn22bzEDGpiJhY7MuBKxPveLnCvksGn6hx5tu0Fl8HeMja4/s400/IMG_0605.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418973760073388562" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5MeyFqLRwDPxwC5XD7yzjPcBPeyJKLhiSbTwM117lzUN_DVVj5c3iNcxGl3wiORBknJCxjrUv1bj-uMHoM-C44zznLGLKShpbQQqcHJ1TRVZcu1iZ9hlOGr3rBnuVfHTqca2HRH4AwBx3/s1600-h/IMG_0603.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5MeyFqLRwDPxwC5XD7yzjPcBPeyJKLhiSbTwM117lzUN_DVVj5c3iNcxGl3wiORBknJCxjrUv1bj-uMHoM-C44zznLGLKShpbQQqcHJ1TRVZcu1iZ9hlOGr3rBnuVfHTqca2HRH4AwBx3/s400/IMG_0603.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418973750826019026" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGr45rQbz6fR36eRH9hBy62IYkelpY9Wm6UlktJuWV3LURZEA_GULztih_s4d3UYzeb60OfgwrlVu2AUIHDu2v7DHqyIHagffUSyvq4oGBmipNP7_NkkJK0OHBvl4KnXcS5Kde6gGJJLnZ/s1600-h/DSCF4629.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGr45rQbz6fR36eRH9hBy62IYkelpY9Wm6UlktJuWV3LURZEA_GULztih_s4d3UYzeb60OfgwrlVu2AUIHDu2v7DHqyIHagffUSyvq4oGBmipNP7_NkkJK0OHBvl4KnXcS5Kde6gGJJLnZ/s400/DSCF4629.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418973746940699682" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdAJPrImV7Jl_kKQQqCd-zClSwPSqO5xR4TXBSNW8qabSFr6UKjnOhO4xacWW6T1l6WbNyAXk3afSPyna48cS0OmZUSQqE6WDoK2GcfocSAz8UANL1qyfeVz5QeRUC3iHSKK-1U5H7R0n0/s1600-h/DSCF4628.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdAJPrImV7Jl_kKQQqCd-zClSwPSqO5xR4TXBSNW8qabSFr6UKjnOhO4xacWW6T1l6WbNyAXk3afSPyna48cS0OmZUSQqE6WDoK2GcfocSAz8UANL1qyfeVz5QeRUC3iHSKK-1U5H7R0n0/s400/DSCF4628.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418973742393873234" /></a><br />So instead of driving to Midland and Odessa, we played the Wii and watched movies.....ALL DAY!

I'm sure all my 2 friends that read this have been worried sick about us! haha! WHATEVER! <br />School is going great! I really do enjoy it. Crazy as it sounds, I really like teaching 7th graders. It has been interesting so far! There are plenty of good stories to tell already and it is just now the 2nd 6 weeks! Basketball is good. We are small in number but should be really good this year. So that will be fun. I am the JV coach and helping with Varsity. I coach the 4 and 5's on the varsity level. <br />Church and youth is GREAT! We are actually moving the youth to the main campus on 98th street. Right now we do everything on north campus or 82nd campus. Around January we will be moving to the south campus or 98th street. In the move we get to remodel the portables and make it all youth friendly. So that is pretty exciting. The grand opening for the children's building is tomorrow. The children at our church have a really cool area. Things at IABC are going great! <br />This weekend Chad and I went to Dallas. We went with no plans and no agenda. The only thing we wanted to do was drop by and see CJ and Amy and their boys. We actually spent most of the day on Friday with them. It was good to see them and hang out. I got to play with Carter while Chad and Topher played NCAA on the xbox. We had a good time with them. <br />Overall, life is great!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14916263601656586876noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299035594947452631.post-64542471009747714552009-09-01T19:19:00.000-07:002009-09-01T19:23:33.866-07:00Prayer....My step brother (Debi's son, Brandon and his wife Erin) have had a crazy last couple of weeks. <br />Erin delivered Sydney Grace, when she was 23 weeks along in her pregnancy.

He was the children's minister at FBC Midland when we were there. <br />Basically we were at the camp Monday through Friday. Friday we checked into the Rosen Center!

It was scheduled to be a high school mission trip but it didn't make. We didn't have enough students that could go sign up. The seniors have moved on to the college ministry and on this trip the students had to be 16 or older. It just didn't work out this year. I (Jodee) was going on this trip as well. Due to the lack of students...we stayed home! Well, kind of. Chad did. I really didn't the first part of the week.<br />Since the summer I have seen my parents but I hadn't had the chance to go to Robert Lee. So I did this week! I left here Sunday morning after church and headed to Robert Lee. I got there and my parents had been keeping Caleb for Chad and Heather. I convinced them to let him stay longer so I could hang out with him. When I arrived at the house, he was ASLEEP! He slept for about 3 1/2 hours. Thats too long when I am there! HAHA! We played Sunday evening. I even got to see one of one of the many aunts and uncle's I have. Along with their daughter and her kids (my 2nd cousins....dang I'm redneck! Haha!) It was fun seeing them. I realized that I am old when the oldest great grandkid was born when I was 15 and now she (Jessica) is 11 and will be in junior high this year. Anyways, I got to see them and it is always entertaining. Then we took Caleb to see MawMaw and DadddyDee. It was great seeing my grandparents. (The other day I found the letter my grandma wrote me when I graduated high school, time has flown by.) I let him walk in the water and play in the mud on the way home. Its crazy that Caleb is 18 months and very very independent! It makes me laugh watching him! After the mud and water, we just played in the house. Monday, we got up and took Caleb back to Chad and Heather. Caleb wore his sunglasses when we headed back to Midland. It was funny watching him put them on and take them off. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9-DzWu13uQ69rcHvNDuecbPY4rc-x-U7S5-syXIeJow0FaB6rPwnFjrgdGx-oD2FCWrilhwSH_-ZIVf3g3PTchVxzqQWam3A9qVnCc9jlYC6WOJmUeHot7LrrVK3SccLMFjuDhfEYjb9g/s1600-h/IMG_0456.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9-DzWu13uQ69rcHvNDuecbPY4rc-x-U7S5-syXIeJow0FaB6rPwnFjrgdGx-oD2FCWrilhwSH_-ZIVf3g3PTchVxzqQWam3A9qVnCc9jlYC6WOJmUeHot7LrrVK3SccLMFjuDhfEYjb9g/s400/IMG_0456.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364474250027909362" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgypc1kvxbeRgVSgIMII9zM-TszvcDYGAkU01DcG5j9sErahS2BedeymefY6U6lE1xRi729V_FQsivSQci28sm2CEqHJYoYOw54n825gk8yrgSmldvbyUB-igmhJP2Fuv40vc7jyIFIJbaB/s1600-h/IMG_0452.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgypc1kvxbeRgVSgIMII9zM-TszvcDYGAkU01DcG5j9sErahS2BedeymefY6U6lE1xRi729V_FQsivSQci28sm2CEqHJYoYOw54n825gk8yrgSmldvbyUB-igmhJP2Fuv40vc7jyIFIJbaB/s400/IMG_0452.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364474246178955410" /></a>We took Chad out to lunch for his birthday. We ate at Logan's. It was a very fast and furious trip to Midland. I was glad I got to see my brother though! <br />Tuesday, we went to San Angelo and shopped and just hung out. <br />Wednesday morning I had to get up and come back to Lubbock. We had the students over at our house for hamburgers and just hanging out. <br />Thursday evening we drove to Brownfield to see CJ and Amy and their kids. It was great seeing them and sitting around talking. While we were gone some of the high school students got bored and had fun chalking our driveway and sidewalk. The whole drive was chalked. It was pretty fun the stuff they came up with to draw! Here is a small fraction of what they drew! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh08PB5QQcfKd0Q64hDt-ETNaOZAqHfEnxQ2kKKLWN08tY1POPt7JMCWFNQXz-wiwbU0j9GPUegFhNBz0g4E9g59c2U6vngP19grtMgvKZi_v030WT1GRW_dfEV8zpdgUXBYrsaUrOzhrIo/s1600-h/IMG_0463.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh08PB5QQcfKd0Q64hDt-ETNaOZAqHfEnxQ2kKKLWN08tY1POPt7JMCWFNQXz-wiwbU0j9GPUegFhNBz0g4E9g59c2U6vngP19grtMgvKZi_v030WT1GRW_dfEV8zpdgUXBYrsaUrOzhrIo/s400/IMG_0463.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364478484415323586" /></a><br />Friday we ate lunch at One Guy with them. They are getting ready to move so it was great to see them. They truly impacted our lives while we were all in Midland. <br />Saturday we had some friends from Midland up for the day! Ryan, Leslie and their newest addition to their family Levi came up and spent the day with us. Leslie, Levi, and I shopped all day. Leslie does a great job of being a mother and still being able to shop! I was impressed. It was fun seeing them and catching up. I hadn't seen them since the first of the summer. <br />This truly was a great week of seeing family and friends. I didn't do a very good job of taking pictures of everyone. Sorry!

Actually I took them just a few minutes ago! We now have blinds in all the windows. I have picked out everything to go in a flower bed but just haven't got to that point. I'll do it once I get back from youth camp. Everything is decorated...that was done the week we moved in. Apartment is cleaned and keys turned in. I have cleaned the house more than once. We really really like our house.

We are excited! Chad said today, "This is my first camp by myself. I'm a big boy!" I asked him if he was nervous and of course he said no. We are excited about the group we are taking. There is a total of 92 (I think) going and that includes adults! It will be a great week in Durango! One of the girls that was in the student ministry in Midland is working with Student Life for the summer and her team will be in Durango and running our camp. It will be fun to see her! <br />That's a quick run down of our lives. <br />Check avenuestudents.com and the blog link for camp updats! <br /><br />Peace, love and hair gelAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14916263601656586876noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299035594947452631.post-70120444063034024882009-06-13T22:49:00.000-07:002009-06-13T22:59:07.908-07:00Crazy Update...Here's a quick update on us:<br />1. closed on our house last Friday<br />2. got house set up! <br />3. built a shed<br />4. bought some new stuff for the house<br />5. had interviews<br />6. got a job (teaching and coaching! wooohooooo!!!!!)<br />7. been up at the gym in the morning coaching (actually watching more right now)<br />8. started on the flower bed<br />9. cleaned up the garage and actually pulled my car into the garage<br />10. packed and got ready to leave tomorrow morning<br /><br /><br />I'll put up pictures later.

Our anniversary fell on a Wednesday which honestly isn't a slow day for us at all! We were trying to figure out what night would be better Tuesday or Thursday. Thursday Chad was asked to play in a softball game and he really wanted to play. So we picked Tuesday. He said he would take care of dinner. On Tuesday afternoon he has staff meeting at church. It lasted a little longer than normal on Tuesday. He had already asked some of the ladies in the office about a couple of different places. His plan was to after staff meeting actually decided and call and rsvp at a place. He got out of staff meeting at 4:50 on Tuesday. He apparently was a little freaked out about how to pull all this off. Then it all happened.....<br />Someone said told him for us to be at the Double Nickle at 7pm Tuesday night. He was little dumbfounded. Apparently you are suppose to wear nicer clothes than what we normally wear. So, my wonderful husband, went to Kohls and bought me a dress! That's right a dress! It was really cute. <br />He came home in a rush at 6:15 and said, "Jodee, we need to leave here at 6:50." I answered, "huh? Where are we going?" His cute response was, "Don't worry about it. We need to look nice, so I bought you this, if you don't like it or doesn't fit, we can take it back this week. If we need to take it back it won't hurt my feelings." And then he handed me the dress and said he was sorry it wasn't wrapped. I tried it on and go figure it didn't fit. So I put on a different dress and ironed some clothes for him and then left. <br />We ended up at the Double Nickle Steak House which was the best food I have ever ate. It was incredible!!!!!! I'm not even kidding! When we walked in and Chad told them our names, we went to back of the place in the corner where 2 dozen roses were on the table waiting for us. We ordered our normal Diet Dr.Pepper and Dr.Pepper and even ordered an appetizer. I was a little lost because the waiter wouldn't give us a menu. Not sure why but he told us everything on the menu and we never saw one. Then we ordered our steak and act until I thought we were both going to explode. It was SO good! Then came dessert. I was little lost cause we didn't order it. The waiter just brought it to us and brought me my favorite...CHOCOLATE!!!!!! We could only eat 2 bites and he boxed up the dessert for us. Then he told us we were free to leave. But we never saw a check. That's when I realized someone had blessed us! Someone had paid for our meal. Chad said that he was told to be here at 6:50 and that everything was taken care of. <br />How amazing that someone would set up our anniversary dinner for us. It was amazing! The flowers are still on the table and still look great! It was a great dinner. <br />After we got done eating we went by to look at that house. And then to the apartment to watching all of our TV shows that we had recorded. It was a great day! <br />The more I look back over the just the past year I can see how much we both have grown spiritually. When we continue to grow spiritually our love for each other only grows more and more. I say this every once in awhile to Chad, but I am finding more truth in this little phrase, "I love you more today than I did yesterday." It's true! I can't wait to see where the Lord takes and what He does in and through us in the next year of our marriage! <br />I love you more today than I did yesterday Chad!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14916263601656586876noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299035594947452631.post-79486385182929575602009-05-05T20:15:00.000-07:002009-05-05T20:22:36.401-07:00EXCITED!!!!We went by our house this past weekend and we say TILE!!!!!!!!!! OH YEA!!!!!!!! We both got really excited. It seems like they have done alot lately. <br />All the cabinets are in. As of Saturday the counter tops for the bathrooms were not in yet. All the tile is done. Even around the fireplace. I drove by tonight with my dear friend Lissa saw the tile around the fireplace. Ceiling fans were in two bedrooms. Its pretty exciting! <br />I talked to the guys at the house yesterday and we scheduled the closing date! WOOHOO!!!!!! June 5th, at 10am we are closing! I'm super pumped and can't wait! Its exciting! We both are completely ready. And trust me our little dog needs a back yard so she won't chew up things anymore! <br />These pictures were taken on Saturday. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJVxkXKlXe-4f75YuIwPfQBXEPFSNKH9aPNxza5TcdkPXhRRnwgbDw9qI-sK-wE-9sUVAt-qM8MFJ0yyAf3lvQSXYNK6_X7rxhFD-EbpdyPt0Y0bRRJsiNtPrsCv84gmRh7FZ4aH64ohu6/s1600-h/DSCF4185.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJVxkXKlXe-4f75YuIwPfQBXEPFSNKH9aPNxza5TcdkPXhRRnwgbDw9qI-sK-wE-9sUVAt-qM8MFJ0yyAf3lvQSXYNK6_X7rxhFD-EbpdyPt0Y0bRRJsiNtPrsCv84gmRh7FZ4aH64ohu6/s400/DSCF4185.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332545413898723042" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMv7YZxVOdjKmQsmOZBqRDY6oQWVt1zsxBSRbMoTVOFBW0ne9H9sCJlAy7gYGkc4VkWgB7HumHFcrmtDqFC0dprhd_21anax1BNHPXVzJ8eTNlO68fXApJRoMUb2zdBfgYhqIh8TncE2Mx/s1600-h/DSCF4184.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMv7YZxVOdjKmQsmOZBqRDY6oQWVt1zsxBSRbMoTVOFBW0ne9H9sCJlAy7gYGkc4VkWgB7HumHFcrmtDqFC0dprhd_21anax1BNHPXVzJ8eTNlO68fXApJRoMUb2zdBfgYhqIh8TncE2Mx/s400/DSCF4184.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332545416170403042" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0hzLBIX3vS9PnfczmmvqXTkUwtfaultXODLN2nq6-7yJQanVuVgfIIiG3KIGvdQ_YWEa2Ok-ItdYgqBOxG1vG_u5bwUSTQHh1ltRcFXXy_z98CKdPY2_bM_jaqP7nc0Si9q6L-3u1gBcg/s1600-h/DSCF4183.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0hzLBIX3vS9PnfczmmvqXTkUwtfaultXODLN2nq6-7yJQanVuVgfIIiG3KIGvdQ_YWEa2Ok-ItdYgqBOxG1vG_u5bwUSTQHh1ltRcFXXy_z98CKdPY2_bM_jaqP7nc0Si9q6L-3u1gBcg/s400/DSCF4183.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332545411590236066" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqirA8ncR6PVi4ddPXYJ0hfmAVqvH8hKTDECGNd2BhwHbB74gtxLHr7HDG4L7shdTuFnHJ48lF2nmkKL_-B2vVZnQ5h2NYlGjVstYAMAylIYg7BfanZAOX87x7gcTv5OOwIn6McZnGL74s/s1600-h/DSCF4173.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqirA8ncR6PVi4ddPXYJ0hfmAVqvH8hKTDECGNd2BhwHbB74gtxLHr7HDG4L7shdTuFnHJ48lF2nmkKL_-B2vVZnQ5h2NYlGjVstYAMAylIYg7BfanZAOX87x7gcTv5OOwIn6McZnGL74s/s400/DSCF4173.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332545404283337442" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiO5VLwK7j237WIfztCjVLAkTeKe36XiagUvQxetwUkiIVcDYdSkq5UelYg-39i7U2JZBToDV-7r7iwB0D06qcZjKOdurBuFU-2YTgi5IKyAu6x0suAoVNeRCLTjXYzPx9xRBgXP5_qZ_q/s1600-h/DSCF4168.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiO5VLwK7j237WIfztCjVLAkTeKe36XiagUvQxetwUkiIVcDYdSkq5UelYg-39i7U2JZBToDV-7r7iwB0D06qcZjKOdurBuFU-2YTgi5IKyAu6x0suAoVNeRCLTjXYzPx9xRBgXP5_qZ_q/s400/DSCF4168.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332545402949133026" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14916263601656586876noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299035594947452631.post-81375790684253901752009-04-28T09:58:00.001-07:002009-04-28T10:11:34.029-07:00Blessed Beyond BeliefThe last 2 weeks have been down right amazing. <br />So often in my life, I overlook the blessings that are all around me. My car broke down 1 mile south of Miles, TX and we were blessed by a family to let us borrow their car for 2 weeks. 2 WEEKS! That's along time in my world to let someone borrow a car. Then they drove half way to meet us and switch cars. That moment that we got to talk was a blessing in itself. When Chad and got back in the car and headed home, Chad looked at me (while driving) and said, "Let's pray and just thank the Lord for the blessings." We were completely overwhelmed by how often we don't realize all the blessings that we receive. <br />The whole month of April Chad talked about with the youth at church What Not To Wear. He took a spin off TLC's show and used Colossians 3 to help the students what we as christians should be wearing. So many times we wear anger, jealously, bitterness and the list goes on and on. We looked at some the "church" words in this passage and really broke down what lust, sexual immorality, and idolatry really means. We also discussed putting on love and what that looks like for a student last week. Chad then handed everyone an envelope with 5 bucks in it and challenged the students to truly put on love and serve someone. Look for someone that needs to be loved or helped and then do it. Overall the month of April has made me more aware of how to put on love and how many people put on love for me. That there are people that have blessed my life and I never realized it till now. I wish I would have been keeping a running list of all the blessings in my life. That is proof that there is one God! <br />I want to constantly be putting on love.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14916263601656586876noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299035594947452631.post-60915656212220411442009-04-23T10:23:00.000-07:002009-04-23T10:25:59.618-07:00Mary KayI have officially started selling Mary Kay.

We got right at 5 miles from their house and my car broke down. Just all the sudden, wouldn't go! We had to call my step-mom and get my dad to come get us. So at this point....we weren't sure how we would get back home that night. We had hung out with family for a little while. Then we headed back to San Angelo to get ready for dinner. As we were headed into town we saw a dog on the side of the road basically crawling. My dad stops and turns around to check on this dog. Three of its legs were broken and its back was broken. He was starting try to get up and walk but couldn't do anything. It was actually really sad. My dad called the Sheriffs office and told them the problem and decided to take care of it. So...my dad did "take care" of this poor dog. We got back on the road and made it to San Angelo. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVTKfbcb93ELIxARebO2kc9OXlEd5joUKQaApntFn-UbQGIQBuLx051WTRsTAJw8OeRTYV47qtevm3EIX7K_w_CdScyzZZsanNme0cQieyETQAILI7xtkeln-waqzThNsjTCS2cK_H0cIc/s1600-h/DSCF4141.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVTKfbcb93ELIxARebO2kc9OXlEd5joUKQaApntFn-UbQGIQBuLx051WTRsTAJw8OeRTYV47qtevm3EIX7K_w_CdScyzZZsanNme0cQieyETQAILI7xtkeln-waqzThNsjTCS2cK_H0cIc/s400/DSCF4141.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325460852601787602" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOWOYQaB0zFAzm7E0DdcEpKMhZu9vQhUFcznhIo-M_sLFbtGYBeH4EmjOj6hVxkIxGyQlwvjWnPwG55LlHtAl6HkNdbRpmbrY_96GYGydAoBPUIu-yibulpBQHj7FG26a8DxuGndTm0aeo/s1600-h/DSCF4140.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOWOYQaB0zFAzm7E0DdcEpKMhZu9vQhUFcznhIo-M_sLFbtGYBeH4EmjOj6hVxkIxGyQlwvjWnPwG55LlHtAl6HkNdbRpmbrY_96GYGydAoBPUIu-yibulpBQHj7FG26a8DxuGndTm0aeo/s400/DSCF4140.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325460848156751330" /></a><br />Arrived and ate dinner then at this point, my aunt and uncle told us we could borrow one of their cars until we got ours fixed. Bonnie said she would take care of it. Answer to prayer! <br />Bonnie called me this week and its the front pump on the transmission that is messed up. Whatever that means.....it is gonna cost more than 10 bucks to fix! <br />Then we drove home Saturday night and got ready for church the next day! Mom and Donnie were in Lubbock because Amy had her baby that week. They got to go to church with us on Easter. But we didn't get to sit with them because church was full!
