catching up

I forgot yesterday was a weekday.. I always mean to post on weekdays. Oh, well.
Last night we stayed at the PrayerStorm until 3-ish... it was so rocking and I was just getting started but all the babies started waking up so off we went. If you haven't stayed overnight, you should. Such a cool dynamic.


The anniversary: was fun. But when I was starting the blog the other day, my spouse came in and engaged me in what could commonly be decribed as "an argument". It wasn't, of course. But that's how many would carelessly describe it.
So then I didn't want to type a gooshy blog about our date, or our 10 years.

If you are the type who would refer to "arguing", then you could say we "made up" now. But only if you are that type.

Our original plan was a Hawaiian vacation. Instead, we are moving to a new house.
So, we dropped our kids off at various grandmothers and went to Red Lobster (my special occasion pick every time). I had crab legs, which always kinda makes Richy queasy.

Then he tells me he planned for us to stay a night away, in a hotel! Fun!
So after dinner, we go to the Woodlands Riverwalk and hang out and take pictures and such.

THEN..... the phone rings. Toby ain't havin it. No thank you. Uh-uh.
So we go to my mom's, where Toby is gasping and sputtering and choking and crying. And as soon as I get him, he's laughing and jumping and telling jokes. This kid defines the proverbial ti**y baby. And, honestly, I was delighted to see him... I missed him! LOL.

So off Toby goes to the hotel with us. Richy's plan for me to get 8 hours sleep is also foiled by Toby.
But, hey... I prayed to get these "problems"!
Oh, and the hotel was free... reward points... gotta love that.

It was fun for us, and a nice break from home. Plus Richy gets major brownie points for planning the whole thing.

Except the Toby part...

Sounds nice, Jess. Except the completely rude intrusion by Toby. Man, what a baby.

Prayer Storm is rockin...if you haven't been there for a Jakit Walsh DJ worship session, you have to go tonight (actually, Sunday a.m. at 2-4am). It's killer*!

*means "really neat"...it's a term from the 80's

re hope dvds

i took my home group out to my apartment complex thursday evening (during our homegroup time), and we covered about half the complex.

i would like to cover the other half tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon, but i need people to help me.

so if you would like to help, please be at the church Sunday afternoon at 2 for orientation and prayer to leave the church at 3pm.

it's really fun and really easy, and it's really a great boost for your boldness if you've been praying for more of that like i have.

i'm really excited that people are hardly on here right now....that tells me they're all praying.

=)

Beth said...

but happy about your flourishing anniversary!

Beth said...

hi pc!

Mama PC said...

hi hc...

see you in a bit...

just finished making an excellent lunch for my two guys...

also, just made cookies - james would be proud... these are muesli cookies with lots of natural stuff - whole grains - something the kids and john can snack on when they're on the run over the next 24 hours...

so, now the kitvchen's a mess - but gotta get that shower so i can run up to our 5 o'clock time...

beth, i'm excited about what you're doing! i'll consider going with you sunday...

How quietly can I type?

Grandbabys asleep everywhere.

Maybe if I put a towel over my keyboard it will muffle the sound.

Major Breakthrough Saturday night!

See ya'll @ CTK.......I feel like I am tempting the children to wake up if I continue much longer..

I am taking my coffee outside and talking smack with Enoch....

Good to hear that your reconciled after your disagreement.

Good pictures. Glad you had a good time, even though Toby stowed away on the trip.

I’m joining Shannon for a holy Sunday afternoon nap. Later.
