A LONG 100th post...

I'm doing a little bit of celebrating tonight as I write this post BECAUSE it's my 100th POST! WOOT! WOOT! Can I get a AHT! AHT! Actually, to be honest, the cookies and milk aren't part of the celebration. I just do that every night at about this time. I REALLY do! I just love cookies and I seem to crave them at bedtime. I could definantly handle Santa Claus' job huh? Anyway, yeah, I can't believe I have already made it to 100 posts! Typically this would call for a giveaway but I'm way to busy and tired to host a giveaway right now.

I made the short trek up north about an hour, and saw my sweet little sister today. I rarely get the chance to drop everything I'm doing and drive for an hour just to visit her but I decided that today was the day and me and Abby and Cody 9 the Dog) went to help her get the house clean and cook dinner for her.

In exchange for the casserole I made for her, she sent us home with a Ziploc FULL of fresh picked blue berries! YAY! This is what I did on Sunday afternoon. My living room has transformed into a Big Blue Thing. I picked out this color in one of my moments of inspiration and so far it hasn't really turned out the way I expected. I'm just sitting on it for a few days to see what I think about the color in a few days. It was supposed to be a softer almost grayish color of teal but this is what I got. My RED stuff doesn't seem to fit in anymore and I'd rather re-paint than redo all my decorations I've gathered. We shall see what becomes of it! Saturday afternoon I drove over to the airport to watch Luke, aspiring pilot, fly this! He actually flew it with very little help from the pilot. Mom went along for the ride too! I couldn't believe it.

I wish I was brave enough to fly in a paper airplane too but since I didn't get in on any of the real action in the air, I just made some nice pictures of me with these COOL pilot Air force guys in their cool green uniforms and sunglasses! At least it LOOKS like I did something adventurous!

Speaking of flying and these guys, if you ever get the chance, you need to watch the Movie called Fly Boys. I really liked it! And this picture is just a reminder of how fast life goes by and how quickly our little ones grow up! My little Abby is a Big two years old and just determined to see me loose my mind...BUT I'm not gonna do it! I had a long conversation with her today and realised how much she knows and how well she speaks and communicates and thought how sad it is that I sometimes go through a whole day without really stopping to hear each word she says and put it together. What on earth is more important than listening to the heart of my child spill out to me in the best words she can manage? How many times do we stop during a busy day and really listen to God? We see his Glory everywhere but do we ever stop and really pay attention to what he wants us to hear?

"Be still, and know that I am God"
