Girls Night

This weekend is the men's retreat so the girls from our Bible study decided that we would still get together and have a girls night. So we went to Carrie's house so that she would be able to put her kids to bed and were going to watch a "chick flick" and have eats. What's not to like about chips, corn salsa, and queso?! Things I realized last night with the girls

• I am old because "Father of the Bride" with Steve Martin has been out for 15 years
• We were saying things like "For that much money, why is there house still a mess after the wedding" and "A good wedding coordinator would have made sure he danced with his daughter."
• I could see my husband feeling sad when our daughter grows up and moves away - and she is only 3 months old!
  

I guess I never realized how drastically your perception would change; I knew it would but it was interesting to see that I no longer related to the daughter in the movie but to the parent now.

Going Pink

Well, (drumroll please) the newest thing in my life is that I am now a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant.

Ok, stop laughing. I'm still in shock myself. Me, the woman (wow, I used the word woman to refer to myself, I must be old), who hardly ever wears makeup is now going to attempt to sell makeup to other ladies. We thought about it and it seemed like a good investment and a good way for me to help out our family. I do like the products and have actually been using them for about 10 yrs (when I actually bothered to do anything with my face, I know what you are thinking !)

This does not mean that I will paint the Jeep pink or only have pink accessories. I am not anticipating that I will be a career oriented MK lady who ever achieves the pink Cadillac, although they do offer cars at lower levels :)

I still can't believe I signed on the dotted line to start my own business!

My Verse for the Week

"When my heart was embittered,
And I was pierced within,
Then I was senseless and ignorant;
I was like a beast before Thee.
Nevertheless, I am continually with Thee;
Thou hast taken hold of my right hand.
With Thy counsel Thou wilt guide me,
And afterward receive me to glory.
Psalm 73:21-24


Isn't nevertheless a beautiful word?

Well, I now have a new blog. I'm trying to keep them all straight too. I'm not giving up on Xanga yet, but it seems like more of my friends use blogspot and some of them don't accept comments unless the other person has blogspot (Rachel!) so I had to get one anyway. I should change my Myspace name so that they all match and I don't get confused. Not that I really use that Myspace anymore. My highschool kids wanted me to have one.

Here's a picture of our sweet baby all dressed up for Easter.
