Kreativ Blogger Award!

 

Today I received a nomination for the Kreativ Blogger award from Mary Ginty on Classic Mary Moments. If you haven't been to her blog, you are missing out, check it out here: http://classicmarymoments.blogspot.com/. She is hilarious, insightful, inspiring, delightful, and I could go on. What is funny, is I've never even met her. But it doesn't matter, I feel like I know her. And one day soon, I hope to meet her in person. If what I've read from her blog is true (and I am sure it is), she is one AWESOME lady! Of course, I had to go to her blog to figure out what I was supposed to do with this nomination. Most of the time my blog is about my kids or other things happening in their life. This time I get to talk about myself! I am so excited! Lol! 
  1. My hair is Naturally Curly...despite the rumors that circulated when I was a child, my mom never permed my hair. When I was around 12 my hair changed and became very curly. There were those that thought my mom was secretly perming my hair. NOT! And since then it's never been permed, it's God given!
  2. I received the Holy Ghost at the tender age of six...under the sound of my great-grandmother, Oma Ellis' preaching. Isn't that incredible? And I remember who was praying with me, my mom and a lady whom I call Aunt Kathy (though she really isn't my aunt). So that means I've had the Holy Ghost almost 29 years!
  3. So, for something carnal...I went to modeling school at Mannequin Manor before my mom got back in church. I was about 4 or 5, and Thank God I was saved from the clutches of that world!
  4. I was raised by a single mother from the age of 5 until 15...and she is my hero! At age fifteen, God blessed me with the most wonderful stepfather, whom I lovingly call "Dad" (or sometimes "Daddy").
  5. My two favorite cities are Portland, Or. and Seattle, Wa. I have even been to Hawaii, which is beautiful, but I could never live there, I would feel trapped! I love, love, love the color green, and the farther north you get, the greener it gets!
  6. After 13 years out of school, I went back last year...to become a speech therapist! I have a while yet to go because my first ministry is my family. I am chipping away a little at a time. By the way, I love school too! I also want to do photography, we'll see.
  7. I love many things but my two favorite pastimes are reading and thrifting. Reading is learning, and I love to learn. Thrifting is relaxing and fun. I love to find a bargain, I love vintage, and I love things that others don't have. 
I nominate:

  1. Danielle and Jacob, Judah, and Kaleigh Lou!
  2. Stacie~Lynne
  3. Janell
  4. Denise
  5. Kaylie
  6. Stephanie
  7. Leila

Life in the Real World!

Let me preface everything I am about to say by saying, I have the most wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, talented children ever created! (now I've lost you because your thinking, she's wrong, I do, your right, you do too!) So why is it that they can also be the complete opposite(at times)? Why do I have to tell the same child everyday to not bring a blanket to the table. I tell them "Please get dressed before you come eat." Apparently, it is much easier to wrap oneself in a blanket and then have to fish your hands out to eat! Why does my child who can remember things from infancy(seems that way anyhow) have to be reminded every morning to "Please brush your teeth"? Why does my child, who can't stand for anyone to touch their belongings, think it is ok for them to get into my purse everyday and chew my gum, use my chapstick, and eat any mints that might be left from the previous days' rampage? How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca

An anniversary, a birthday and a birth defect??

Image
You are probably wondering what that is all about. Right?? Well, on Wednesday, Ashley came running into the house crying, not screaming, just crying. She had tripped over Zoey's (our dog) leash and scraped her arm. Not a big deal, no blood. However, on closer examination, I noticed a lump on her elbow, as if her arm was out of socket. Strange, I never noticed that before and she wasn't screaming out in pain. So, being the worrisome mom that I am, I called the doctor. Of course they said bring her in. So off to Kaiser we go, first to be seen by a doctor(who wasn't even going to do an x-ray until I persisted), then to Radiology for x-rays, back to the same doctor who was surprised there was actually a reason to do the x-ray. She then told me that her radius was not in the right place and it could be the result of an injury prior to that day or from birth(which would be considered a birth defect). She told me she was going to send a referral to Orthopedics. Great, maybe someon

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggety Jig!!!

We arrived home late Sunday night after what seemed like a year away from home. (Actually it was a little over three weeks.) We left on the 7th of August at about 4 pm and drove to Grants Pass. We stayed the night there, getting up the next morning and continuing on to Portland. We got to Portland about 3pm, spent the evening hanging out at my brother's house and getting ready for the next day. Saturday the 9th, we celebrated my littlest nephew, Judah Milo Carlson's first birthday. His actual birthday is the 14th but for sake of family and friends we had the party that Saturday. My brother's church family came and then some of his family and some of my sister in laws family came. We bar-b-qued and played games, but mostly just talked. Then the next day was church. We went to church with them, they go to the Gleason's church in Oregon City. They are very sweet people. I love Sis. Gleason, she always has the kindest words to say. OK, continuing on, Monday was just a play
