Memorial Day Weekend

The hubs and I spent our weekend busier than normal for us. I and our roommate and best friend threw my other best friends baby shower (so excited cant wait until the baby is here). That was a lot of work but well worth it. Plus I got to hold a baby in I dont know how long. Jeremy normally has fridays off anyways so he got a four day weekend which was nice. Sunday we had church and than we drove out to laurel hill for one more visit with my preggo best friend and her husband and her inlaws. We had steaks and garden squash and potato salad than back home. Monday we slept in a little bit. We were hoping to see the hubs uncle and that maybe he could fix our tankless water heater but they had to leave town a day earlier because he got sick. So hopefully next time. The rest of the day hubby spent working on updating and reinstalling e-sword onto our computers and server, while I just relaxed around the house caught up on some shows on the dvr. it was a relaxing weekend all around though.

So what if...

  • I bought craft stuff for my nieces to have at my house but secretly is thrilled that I now have an excuse to color and make stuff (I find it relaxing)
  • my new favorite website is crayola.com
  • am excited that we have pretty much come to the decision that we will be adopting in 4 years and that we will be doing it debt free
  • that it tickled me that my youngest niece is fiercely defensive of me and tells her sisters that I am her Aunt Katie and not theirs (which I had to tell her the other day that I was theirs as well and it nearly made her cry
  • that finally after having a dog for 9 1/2 months that I am just now getting to enjoy her
  • that I started this on Saturday (I had time then)
  • that I highly upset that less than a week after we had our ac serviced it went out again (hoping it doesnt mean that we have to replace it we will just have to live without an ac in the main part of the house)
  • if I sleep with the tv on but have to fall asleep with my netflixs playing on my phone with my ear plugs on
  • that this is the first time I am sad about neighbors moving away from me

old Post from myspace!

Maybe...



"Maybe"

Maybe God wanted us to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Maybe when the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

Maybe the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

Maybe it is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but if it does not, be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; and be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

???

So I have another possibly gray area to bring up. (I like doing these gets you to really think). I have been watching Sister Wives on TLC. I know I know some would disapprove but anyways I am grown and its a clean show. First of lets just get this out of the way, I dont approve or agree of their lifestyle and how they choose to live. I dont think its right and they shouldnt be living this way. Okay now that that is over, What are everyones thoughts on the present investigation into their lives? I understand that it is illegal to practice polygamy in Utah and that by doing the show it would open up a huge can of worms. However I do not believe that they should be prosecuted for it. That their lifestyle is because of a religious belief and practice. This isnt something they are claiming to be just to get away with whatever they want, from all appearances (and I know appearances can be decieving) they truly believe this is the right way for them to live. All the wives are consenting adults when they were "married" there is no child abuse of any kind present (sexual, emotional, physical, physcological) that we can tell. They are not forcing their children into this lifestyle and marrying them underage and to older men that have several wives. All of his wives were from what I personally can remember them saying on the show raised this way and in this belief and many at least 3 of them had sister wife mothers if I remember correctly. I mean you can be gay, you can be straight and have several sexual partners and even have children with multiple people and stay that way and continue to see multiple people and not be prosecuted. I know that he is legally married and that take it to a different level, but what is the difference between that and an open marriage. If you agree to be in an open marriage where you see other people there may be at times for periods of time where one person is seeing someone else or sleeping around. Like I said I dont agree with what they are doing and how they are living their life but I also dont think that they should be prosecuted and sent to jail and the family all split up. I mean arent we in American trying to keep the family unit together and dont we (as in America we) teach tolerance to others such as bobby who has the two mommies or susie who has two daddies, or sally whose mommy sleeps around and has several sexual parteners, or johnny who has no daddy  or might have a daddy but no mommy and yet their parents are not proscuted for living a different lifestyle of their own choosing. Shouldnt their religious beliefs although not the norm be protected by our constitution. Isnt this considered where the government is stepping in and saying you can believe this this isnt a religious practice we approve of and for lack of a better term going against what our forefathers wanted with the seperation of church and state (i know thats not in the constitution or anything like that and that it was written in a private letter i know i know; like i said lack of a better term) Anyways would be curious to hear other peoples thoughts

Probably going to get shot or something....

I know that what I am about to write is very very controversial and will probably result in some not so nice feelings towards me but oh well this is my blog and for this blog I am putting into the age old rule that "if you cant say something nice, dont say something at all" I dont say this to be like I am right and you are wrong in the feelings because this kind of confusing even for me.

The death of Osama Bin Laden brings up for me many  mixed emotions. While I am relieved and excited and happy that he is no longer able himself to make plans and carry out terriost actions and that we can sleep a little more peacefully at night knowing he is gone; and yet at the same time my heart breaks to know he is spending all of eternity in hell and that someone that God loved so much that He sent His own son to die for him would reject him and would choose to not accept the gift and sacrifice that God made for him and to choose to spend eternity away from God breaks my heart and brings me almost to tears. I know that he is responsible for the deaths of countless and priceless men, women, and children and I know that he had to be brought to justice and even death I understand that and even the Bible talks about if you take a mans life so shall your life be taken and I agree that he should have been put to death, killed, assasinated, (however you would like to term it) but I also know that someone should have been able to share the gospel with him and give him the chance to accept Christ. Thats the God I serve that no matter what you have done where you have been or what you are doing He can and will forgive you and save you and then when you die you will go to heaven. That doesnt mean he didnt have to pay for what he did if he became a christian. Salvation is not a get out jail free card here on earth. You still have to pay for your actions that you choose to do and if its breaking the law murder terriost acts than there are dire consquences and can lead to their death as well. I am happy and excited and am so thankful that Osama is dead and that he has recieved his earthly justice but I do know that it breaks God heart that Osama choose not to follow him and to love him and serve him. My heart has been broken for this man's salvation since 9/11 again I am not saying he should not have been punished he definitely deserved to be punished and severely and with his life but to know that unless he cried out to God before he died that Osama is spending all of eternity in utter torment and pain and suffering. I know that I will most likely recieve a lot of flack for this and I expect it. I do also know that in God's eyes sin is sin, that murder is no more severe than lying and that stealing is the same as adultry. So if we would judge the world in Gods standards than those who do not accept the gift of salvation no matter how good of a person they are and that no matter that they never broke the law or did anything wrong in the the worlds eyes they are no different than Osama that the man who cheats on his taxes and steals money from the government and never repents and makes it right and rejects God is no different the Osama who killed countless lives.

Again I say that I AM GLAD THAT HE IS DEAD! But my heart is broken over the fact that he is eternally sepereated from God and will never know the saving knowledge of Jesus.
