To think about 50 years makes my brain hurt. This is double how long I have been alive! I can not in my little brain really fathom what 50 years of life would be like, much less 50 years of MARRAIGE. My grandparents Jim and June Strickland just celebrated their 50 year anniversary this last weekend. What a cool cool thing to get to celebrate. Josh and I have been married 4 years and we have seen alot change in our country and have experienced a lot of change with in our household, so thinking about what my grandparents have gotten to see and experience is beyond where my thoughts can travel. I have truly enjoyed hearing their story and seeing pictures of their journey together as they have accomplished so much together.
Happy life of Marrige Grandma and Grandpa!! (it's been longer than 50 years now so I can say that to encompass the last few days as well)
I'm having a hard time imagining what I may be like in 25 years when I hit my 50th birthday or what Josh and I will be like in 46 years at our 50th anniversary but I pray that it is something great. I hope our story is one that not only looks good to our kids and grandkids but to those we see and interact with on a day to day basis. I pray that our marriage points people to Christ and that we model to those we meet what Holy Matrimony is. We fail, and horribly at times but by Gods grace we get back up and I hope our legacy shares that story as well.

Weekend Fun
Friday night....got off work, didn't go to rainy football game, instead played radicool games with some friends.
Saturday night..... I worked till 3:15, Josh worked till 10, I napped, we went to pick up Bailey from my parents real late.
Sunday.... invite a friend to church day, we brought Kassy and Corbit, they really seemed to enjoy themselves. Lunch was good, then we played ERS and the "word association game" ha ha. After that, we went to walmart, cooked dinner for my parents and hung out with them for a while.
Sucessfull weekend I would say.

Books Galore
So I've gotten back into the swing of reading some. I spent time at 3 different bookstores over the weekend. I bought some new books and I've been reading some older ones. I actually just finished a book yesterday called Babywise the second one. It's not really called "the second one" I just don't know what it's called. It is a good book, teaches some things on training children so you have to do less retraining as you go. Hopefully its stuff I can put to work in our lives, we'll see.
I am also reading 3 other books right now, you know, one for the bathroom, one before bed and the other whenever I feel like it.
I am reading Grace gone Wild which I am enjoying. It's so far about Grace and not using it as a go a head and sin ticket, and it's not something we earn either... hard to explain with out being very far into the book.
Another book I am reading is Crazy Love. I started it a while back but now that our youth group is doing some sermon series based on it I figured I should pick it back up.
The third book is called Sexy Girls: How Hot is Too Hot? A good book to read when dealing with teenage girls. Is it OK to dress sexy? What is the difference in Sexy and Stylish and Attractive? These are questions we will be answering. I'm wondering if this is a book written by a man under a girls name.
I'm still loving my church, meeting new people all the time, getting to know some better than others but loving it nonetheless. I am getting to know the youth girls I am working with a little better and it's making things so much more fun. They are great and I really enjoy meeting with them as well as teaching them. We are high schoolers now and it's a whole new world. I say we because I moved up with these girls who were in 8th grade last year so we together have made the transition to High School and oh what a different world it is. I'm totally excited about it though and can't wait to REALLY get in with the girls. God is going to do some stinking radical things in their lives and I'm looking forward to all that may entail.
For those of you "keeping up with us" through this blog from far away places, we love you and miss you and I'm sorry I don't do a very good job at keeping you up to date and more a part of our everyday lives.
Ummm other news.... we are watching the Cosby show season one, disk two right now for fun. Josh and I have gotten to go one a few dates lately that have kept our love fresh and kickin'.
I have still been enjoying cooking although I have not blogged about any of that lately, my creative juices have not been bursting out as of late.
OK, I'm out!
Bye
