LOOK WHAT I GOT TODAY!!

FEBRUARY 10TH

OUR WEDDING DAY IS EIGHT MONTHS AWAY!

Like the Bishop says, "Get ready, get ready, get ready!!!"

Everytime it rains....

It seems like every time it rains, Tia yaya and I have an adventure. Last time we went walking together was few months back. The clouds were heavy and dark, but we just HAD to see what the posted sign at the entrance to the community said. Halfway down the street Tia Yaya says, "I don't think we're going to make it! It's gonna rain" I said, "NAHH" so there we go. 2 minutes later we were being pelted by huge raindrops. We began the awkward walk/run back to the house. We even turned down a ride from a neighbor in a white BMW. He obviously wanted to kidnap us. All the while tia yaya was saying, "surely your dad will come for us" I said, "Shirley?" and the laughs ensued. Dad did eventually come pick us up, but we were already completely drenched.

So dad is having to work a b-ball game tonight and tia yaya and I are on our own....oh, and it's raining. lets see what happens!

UPDATE: well, we're back to the house. on our way to our dinner destination Tia Y was chatting about the traffic on an exit called Bass Pro. She said, "And if you try to exit Bass Pro Shop, forget it" hee hee. then at kohls, we knowingly tried to use a coupon that wasn't good until tomorrow. We sought out the cashier that looked the friendliest in case they noticed the coupon. I told her that as a last resort, I would act blind and demand that they honor the coupon since I couldn't see the date. She said no.

Something Stinks: Case Closed

The first Sunday of 2008, I preached a sermon at Solid Rock Church in San Angelo entitled 'Something Stinks'. In doing so, I brought up the fact that even though one year has ended and another one has begun, our negative habits, thought life and actions will continue to affect us unless changes are made. I explained that if not cleaned up and cleaned out, certain areas of our past life can begin to wreak an unwelcoming odor in our present. As an example, I talked about the mysterious smell that invaded New York City a few years ago. The people of New York, were off to the start of a new year when one morning they woke up to what the papers coined as "an unnatural odor" that was very similar to the smell of ....syrup! They couldn't quite pin down the source of the smell. Well today, I found that the case has been closed!
