Thirsty Hands

Tonight at Morning Star Baptist it was a little warm in the church. To top it off, I was dressed for a snow storm so I was pretty warm. Plus I was signing for Annie in the church. So... as you can imagine, I kept getting warmer. During the service I stood up to get a drink of water thinking it might help. It did, to some degree.

After church we had a fellowship for several reasons. As I was leaving Mr. Ascher (for those of you who don't know, he is the gentleman smiling in the picture in the post below or before this one) called out my name from afar. I walked over to him and bend in to hear him better among all the happy chattering downstairs. With a smile on his face he said, "I just had to share with you that tonight when you stood up to get a drink of water, I thought to myself... her hands must be thirsty.. HAHAHAHAHA".... Of course I laughed along... too funny!!! That comment, Mr. Ascher, totally made my day. Thank you!

A Night at the Aschers

I could explain all the things that happened tonight at the Aschers but I think the pictures will explain it better than I ever could. I will say that we enjoyed a nice dinner and then a card game. Although things could have gotten more wild than it did tonight but everyone was tired from a long week. Enjoy.

Happy St. Patrick Day!!

The Kilt and Clover is one of the greatest stores in Rockford. This store is based on Irish and Scottish imports. I always love going in there just browsing. I got my bridesmaids earrings in there and many other things. Today they hosted a traditional Irish dance. Here are some pictures of the girls performing. Whether you are Irish, Swedish or German.... this store is meant for everyone who love Ireland.

Chop It Off!

"That lady on the dandruff commercial has awesome hair!!"

So.. off I went to the mall with Mel to chop my hair off. As I got there I looked at books and choose a hair style. My hair has never been this short. But hey.... I was feeling adventurous. Then Mel decided to chop her hair off. There we were side by side getting our hair done.

Here is the outcome:

Typical Day in the Kitchen

I just had to share this little story with you. When I'm in one of my "moods" I tend to get careless and goofy. Both Mel and I were in the kitchen doing our own things. Mel was getting ready to do the dishes and I was getting left over soup for lunch. Before starting the dishes Mel decided to eat a cookie. She pops a cookie in her mouth as she starts the dishes. I go to open the bowl with the soup and "blerrrrp" (the actual sound it made) onto the stove. There goes the soup. As I spill Mel is screaming of hair in her mouth. Of course this freaked her. Not caring about her soapy hands she sticks her fingers in her mouth and realizes she now has apple green dish soap taste. Which is worse... hair... soap?? I wonder. Finally she succeeds in getting the hair out but now Mel is rinsing her mouth out because of the soap taste. In the mean time my soup is warming up in the microwave and the timer goes off. I reach in and grab the bowl. AHHHH!! HOT!! So I ran to the stove, practically spiiling my soup again but I managed. In the mean time Mel and I realized what happened in a matter of five minutes and shared a good laugh. : )

PRAISE GOD!!!

I just recieved news that Paul got his orders. He is leaving in 6 days for Oklahoma!! God has answered prayers and he did it in His time which was the right time. Keep praying. Pray that everything happens and works out smoothily.

Thank you for your prayers and encouragment.

Praying for Paul

Paul finally got to talk with someone. They hadn't done anything with orders previous to this meet. From my understanding they are going to "get with it" and make sure he gets orders. He said something about possibly be heading the states near the end of March. Lets pray that the Army stick to their words this time.
