Selfish Punks

So I decided to start a blog.  Not necessarily that I think that many people care what I think or have to say, but mostly as a way to look back at where I've come from and where God's brought our family, and so I can remember the little things along the way.  Like all the milestones and cute stuff Adi does (I've learned from my parents that I HAVE to write these things down, they only seem to remember stuff my brothers did ;-P....Ah, se la vi of a middle child!!  Love you mom and dad!!) and the random things I've learned from the places I've lived, people I've known, struggles as a mommy, and life on planet earth.  And per a few requests, I will write on fitness stuff too, mostly just cuz I love it so much that I always end up saying something about it without trying.  But if you want me to blog my opinions on a certain fitness/health subject, just let me know! 

Today:

Adi tried to say "shirt" when I was digging through my drawers asking her which shirt I should wear.  It sounded like shu.

I was praying for our pastor and it occurred to me after I said it that I prayed God would protect he and his family from "selfish punks."  When I pray, I always try to be honest with God since He knows it all anyway, but it still kind of surprised me that those words came into my prayer.  I am so thankful that I can be myself and pray in complete honesty to God without fear of judgment or a look of disbelief at how I act (or pray)!

We broke the news to our church family today about Mike's upcoming six month deployment (9 if you count the training).  I've decided to spend the six months of his deployment in Corpus with my fam but we were still a little concerned about the house being vacant for so long, even though we have great neighbors.  Mike will begin his training in April and when we announced that, our youth ministers mentioned that their lease is up in April.  A blessing for us both, they can stay in our house rent free and keep it up and we have the security of them taking care of things ;-D  I hope it works out!

And since this is my blog, I'm not going to worry about coming up with some fantastic summarizing paragraph to close out with....though the draw to do so is very strong within me!!!  I'm forever haunted by the excellent composition teachers I've had!
