Happy Birthday

So we just celebrated my 25th birthday, and I truly do not feel any different. I can say though that I do feel OLDER than 25. I wonder if this is what happens to everyone once they have children. Do you always feel older than you truly are? Just wondering. But back to my b-day, Scott spoiled me all weekend. I spent my time with him and Tucker which was all I wanted to do.

SO it wasn't the big deal that everyone made it out to be. I am a quarter of a century. Woo hoo....

Personal Assistant Wanted....

I have decided I am in need of a personal assistant. I feel like between my job, raising Tucker, keeping house, and being a wife to Scott, I am without a moment to rest. I am not going to lie and say I don't rest because I surely do procrastinate at time. I am just going crazy with the amount of things piling up in front of me to do. This week alone I had to hire a new babysitter, rework our schedule for programs at my job, develop two new programs to run at the club, reroute our volunteers and their schedules, work on our Worldwide Day of Play event for next Saturday, try to hunt down what happened to my shoes for Clarissa's wedding (the dress store can't find them), and so much more. So if anyone is wanting to be my personal assistant, let me know. It is a job that doesn't pay anything, but does allow you the satisfaction of knowing that you have made my life easier.

Been gone way too long...

So I gave up on this blog after May 2009. I am going to blame that on my job I started this summer with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Lee County. I did enjoy doing this blog though. I received a lot of comments on it through Facebook. So I will try to keep it up in the future.

Just to do a quick update on the family. Scott is the manager of Momma Goldberg's in Auburn. I am the Education Director & Program Coordinator for the Boys & Girls Club. Tucker is now 20 months old and already trying to give me a heart attack by going to the ER nonstop with accidents. I still love him to death though. Scott and I are working on maybe having a little girl in the future, but God will give it to us when he is ready. So I guess that is it. Hope this blog finds everyone doing well.

Angels & Demons

We went to see Angels & Demons on Friday. It was AMAZING! The director, Ron Howard and the screenwriter, David Koepp, did an amazing job keeping the movie close to the book. I am not usually into movies that have a conspiracy theory plot, but this one kept my attention. It is a bit controversial because the conspiracy theory involves the Vatican and the Catholic religion. But if you take the movie as what it was meant to be, a fictional piece, then it is an interesting piece of work. So everyone go on out and watch the movie! Plus it has my man EWAN MCGREGOR!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

A Newborn's Conversation with God

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,
but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have
to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you.
And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand
when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words
you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will
teach you how to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach
you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach
you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth
could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave
now, please tell me my angel's name."

God said, You will simply call her, "Mom."

I thought this was a great Mother's Day story. Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there; whether you are a mom biologically, through adoption, or through being there emotionally for someone, I wish you a blessed day!

We are going to the movies!

Sorry guys, I haven't blogged in a while once again. Life has been really hectic in some senses, but not so much that I had anything to blog about. So in the interest of keeping this blog going I thought I would do a random post about the great movies that are coming out this year. I have them listed below in no particular order of favoritism.

1. Angels & Demons
2. New Moon
   
3. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
4. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
5. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
6. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
7. Saw VI

Well I guess that is it! I am not much of a theater goer. I prefer to wait until it is released on DVD, but I will be attending the theater for all of these movies. If you want, send me some suggestions of anything else good that is coming out!
