Danger- Flying Laptops

It's yearbook time.... which means that of course I am busy

1. shooting away lots of last minute pics

2. trying to organize all the pics from the whole school year (one of these years I will actually keep up and do this ahead of time- hopefully that will be next year)

3. procrastinating and finding all kinds of things to occupy my time (other than the yearbook) though i DID TURN DOWN a DISNEYLAND trip today- i do have to say i am proud of myself for that one!

4. and as i am about to do right now... gonna THROW my laptop!!!  anyone seen Office Space? Exaaaaaaactly!

why do i do this to myself every year? Cause I really do love it! So fun to see the finished product, and be able to preserve the memories from that year for everyone to look back on for years to come. I love my old yearbooks (though WOW some of my pics from back in the day....)

and it's been fun reconnecting with people I went to elementary school with and laughing at some pics from our yearbook. Here's a 7th grade San Francisco trip pic. 

good to get away

Once a year, alot of the women from our church take a break from our busy and sometimes crazy lives.  Each year is a totally different experience, but each year I come away refreshed, renewed and encouraged by the fabulous women who share from their heart & from God's Word.

Not to mention, we always have a good time! but that goes without saying doesn't it?

wax dipping is a must!

I Have Much

yes, Dave did get laid off Thurs.  Yes, that does leave us with the possibility of no steady income.  Am I freaked out? No. (though yes i have heard all about the crappy economy)  Why focus on negatives that might happen when there is so much I have to be thankful for. 

 I'm thankful...

 that he is going to recieve 4 months of full pay and we will still have our medical coverage.  

 that Savannah is going to be able to go to Cornerstone Christian School for Kindergarten next year (and have an AMAZING teacher!) Seriously everyone should get to have Mrs. Akers!

that there's 2 of the cutest new baby boys in my life!!!! hooray!

that I've been blessed with the best daughter!!! and to be able to stay home with her these past 5 years! 

that I've got Ridiculously Fabulous people that I get to call my friends & family. yes they are Ridiculously Fabulous!!!

and above all why should I worry? I know that God has got me & my family in His hands.  He has always taken care of us and I will continue to stand on his word believing that He will make a way for us this time as well.  

So what did I do after he got laid off? Out shooting pictures of my girl of course! Thanking God for her, the beautiful sunshine...  

Have you celebrated Chuck Norris today?

If you haven't, don't worry there's still time to wish him a Happy Birthday and avoid one of his legendary roundhouse kicks. In honor of his birthday, here's a few Chuck Norris "facts"

1. Chuck Norris and Mr. T walked into a bar. The bar was instantly destroyed, as that level of awesome cannot be contained in one building.

2. On his birthday, Chuck Norris randomly selects one lucky child to be thrown into the sun.

3. Little known medical fact: Chuck Norris invented the Caesarean section when he roundhouse-kicked his way out of his monther's womb.

4. Chuck Norris doesn't bowl strikes, he just knocks down one pin and the other nine faint.

5. The show Survivor had the original premise of putting people on an island with Chuck Norris. There were no survivors, and nobody is brave enough to go to the island to retrieve the footage.

6. Chuck Norris once worked as a weatherman for the San Diego evening news. Every night he would make the same forecast: Partly cloudy with a 75% chance of Pain.

7. Chuck Norris keeps his friends close and his enemies closer. Close enough to drop them with one round house kick to the face.

8. 'Icy-Hot' is too weak for Chuck Norris. After a workout, Chuck Norris rubs his muscles down with liquid-hot MAGMA.

9. Fear is not the only emotion Chuck Norris can smell. He can also detect hope, as in "I hope I don't get a roundhouse kick from Chuck Norris."

10. When Chuck Norris says "More cowbell", he MEANS it. 

11. When Arnold says the line "I'll be back" in the first Terminator movie it is implied that is he going to ask Chuck Norris for help.

12. Chuck Norris does not dance.  He roundhouse kicks to the beat.

13. When Chuck Norris was born, the only person who cried was the doctor. Never slap Chuck Norris.

And to wrap this up - a photography fact 

14. A picture is worth a thousand words. A Chuck Norris is worth 1 billion words.
