mornin...
i have a question for you.. the cintas uniform man every monday when he comes has to ask the dumbest questions (so not his fault, some ding dongs who wants more paperwork to do and well ask dumb questions)the question is... are you very satisfied?
with what you drop of uniforms? (rude i know)
but my question in response... are you ever really satisfied? really... i have good times and bad times and times where i just ask myself "self, why do you try so hard, with so sense happiness"... just numb!
this kinda goes along with a sermon that pastor holden preached this week-end. i truely believe we are living in the end times, and Jesus is soon to return. are you ready? when i stand in judgement of my Lord what will i say to Him? i was so moved with this sermon...
i know i have family members that are not saved, am i doing my job in ministering to them... no. there are some days i feel that i don't even set a good enough example to share my walk with God to anyone. i know we all have days that we slip, but somedays i want to remind Jesus "Jesus my plate is FULL" and "i don't know how much more i can do and or take." and in my heart this is what i hear back "you bring it all on your self"
i so wish that the word "simple" would come into my life. how do you find it, where can i purchase it at? soooo...
my answer "are you very satisfied?" No, No i'm not.....

one month and 10 days later you get an update....
i will start with the www.memoryvilla.com 2nd annual crop.
on march 29th i started my drive to peite jean mountian (right outside of morrilton arkansas) was a beautiful drive... by myself time to turn of the radio and enjoy the drive. i of course was expecting the croppers to stay up till all hours of the morning so stopping and getting my 'monster' energy drink WAS A MUST! the poor little girl died when i came to the register with 6 of them...'you are not going to drink all of these? are you?' to myself 'yes i want to run around like a chicken with my head cut off!' but instead she got 'no i don't plan on drinking them all in one setting' DUH! back into the truck to finish my drive. when i got there... of course i was the last dt girl to make it. but jumped right in and was up till 2:15 in the morning getting everything ready. then off to bed! up at 7:15 yes i got out of bed put on undergarments and brushed my teeth and hair up in ponytail. off to finish what needed to be set up... gross but why take 2 showers? my thought... got everything done by 10 and off to look cute... ok as cute as i could get! *wink wink by time the croppers got there i was so excited to see there faces when they got to see everything that was in store for them. MANY surprises, enough door prizes for everyone, great classes, and TONS of fun. day one friday up at 7:15 to bed at 2:45am! day two saturday up at 7:15 fun all day and the food.... well ROCKED! all homemade food with love and care to details. to bed at 2:25am! day three up at 7am and ready for the last day, yes and no. YES because cement floor and my knees and ankles were KILLING me! NO because this year we had 41 croppers, they never got out of thier chairs they were waited on hand and foot. it is so much fun to see their reaction to being pampered. NO i can't go to the bathroom for you! *wink wink but i got to meet some really great ladies and i have attached so photos i ripped off from april. ladies i hope you had as good a time as i did and can't wiat to see you all real soon. got home about 8pm (we stopped and ate dinner and a great mexican food place... with NO margarita's WHAT) when i got home the house was spotless, eric and tucker had worked really hard to have everything caught up so i could come home and well SLEEP!
i will post more on personal issues later.
kisses and huggs

i'm sorry but do you see that woman over there, bags under eyes, and a really bad hair day, in the getting tight jeans and frumpppppy sweatshirt... she's right over there... oh crap that's me looking in the mirror.
i'm tired, real tired! but here we go with the blog reporting...
1. last week-end tucker's squad won first and class champion! her stunt group got second. i'm so proud of her. my cousin hans and his girlfriend kim came to watch and then took us to dinner at a very cool place in memphis 'big foot burgers' YUMMY!
2. this week-end eric is off to drill and tucker and i are off to oklahoma city... YES to cheer. we have had 3 week-ends in a row and i got to go back to texas next week-end and then off the 17th and the last compitition of the year here in fort smith on the 24th. wow then try outs are april 21 then we start all over again!
3. have been doing ALOT of house cleaning, having a HUGE yard sale at eric's grandma's house on the 16th of march. will be much easier (we don't have a big garage) moving everything to her house and set up and have one big yard sale. when we have one at our house we have to put it all up in the back yard and pray it don't rain, and then i never get it all out of the house. i have been going room by room and eric has been moving as he gets a truck load. we have now filled his truck 3 times and mine 2 times... we have alot of USELESS crap. wish me luck!
4. with the yard sale money we hope to pay off some little bills and get a head start on tucker's school bill for next year.
5. going to order some windows and now that eric's work area will be cleaned out he can get to trimming out our bedroom! hope to get tucker's room, dining room and living room ripped out and done this summer. that lowes credit card will get a work out! again wish me luck!
6. starting back up with the photography starting the 17th all day cheerleaders! and one senior picture setting.
7. scrapbooking... well wednesday night was the first night i have scrapbooked in about a month! have had no time. got tons of stuff to get done... i need a whole day with everything in front of me and get it done. i have the memory villa crop in 4 weeks and then several conventions after that.
8. be thinking of my friend melanie she is having some surgery next week, and needs our prayers.
9. well i guess i should get back to work.

good morning -
well here i am blog slacker yet once again! i will begin with the news and then jump up on my soapbox and well you know the b word!
first and foremost i leave tucker with her daddy on monday and i come home to my baby who can now ride her bike all by herself... no training wheels, no daddy running beside her. i cried.
second cheer we will be leaving for memphis this week-end... i hope we have better luck this week-end. last week-end we went to dallas to nca nationals (the BIG one) and tucker's team was against 12 other teams. now mind you i knew this was a big one, and was setteling for the top half of the group 6th or above and i would be happy well we got 10th... i was sad and hard not to show it in front of tucker. the girls did GREAT just against some really big squads and just couldn't hang on! yes i take cheerleading WAY to serious!
well here i am asking myself, what am i here for? i get in these moods alot here lately and not sure why... old age, depression, un-sure of myself??? i don't know! what else do i take WAY to serious scrapbooking and the whole "getting discovered" process! recap - i eneter mm master discovered NO entered making memories idol discovered NO! i came to the conclusion... (with the help of julsies) i should need NO one to judge my work! i'm creating memories for my children and that's that!
and lastly, i need to find peace, happiness, and less stress. i on the search to find it!
love to all

4. i have a notebook problem.... i love cute little notebooks, journals, anything paper products, i can buy and i know i don't need it - BUT they will never make something this cute ever again! so i buy!
5. i have had the same haircut since highschool - YES folks that will be 20 years ago next year 2008 graduated 1988.

good morning blog land
first i want to share what a great week-end we had. we headed off to grapevine texas on friday to cheer cheer cheer. and i'm happy to say we can home through some pretty bad weather, but got some beautiful pictures.... but we can back NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! yes i cried, tucker's squad went up against some great compitition and came out on top! eric got some great pictures of her and i will share tonight or in the morning. GO JAGS GO!
i want to share with you a weg page i found and join in this 100 day adventure with me... www.kerismith.com has opened my eyes to the "little things in life" i ordered her book "living out loud" should be here any day! yea! she as a "100 ideas" list created for scrapbooking or other creative ideas. i have decided to use this list to discover more of the little things in my life. if you print the list off i'm not going in order, i'm gonna do them as i feel they are touching my life. wanna do it with me?
1. go for a walk. draw or list things you find on the sidewalk. (this is the real #1)
for me... on new years day eric was doing some work and tucker and i just wanted to get out of the house. was just cold enough to where a sweatshirt and feel the brisk of the cold air, but yet be comfortable. as we walked along tucker enjoys running (she didn't get this from me *wink) so we would run a couple of blocks and then walk a few blocks. in all of her 7 years of life i have always reached out to hold her hand, (i don't know if this is bad, but for me was still moving) along this walk tucker reached up and took my hand many times, and simply said "i love you mommy" or "your the best mommy" and "mom this is alot of fun, cause we get to see all that Jesus made for us" tucker has such a heart for Jesus and all of His works in this world. suddenly we were looking for bugs and how every tree was diffrent, and how can a flower come up through the sidewalk... you know the little things. but yet to God they are so big and He put them there everyday for us to enjoy, and in the crazy world we call life... we are short to enjoy them somedays.
well there is my #1 now your need to take a walk and discover, then leave a link to yours on your blog or email them to me, i would love to read them.
much love

Christmas day we drove to pittsburg kansas to see my nannie & popo and my aunt melinda & uncle carl from michigan. had a wonderful time. tucker and dakota got everything they asked for, i went to the three gifts per child, just like Jesus got from the wise men.
new years eve was a party with the other cheer parents, had a great time and eric and i tied for the newlywed game 10 questions and we only missed one, but so did todd and krystal. we both got some creative gifts! *wink

1. be a better wife - more supportive and understanding.
2. be a better mother - more patience, understanding, and time with my children.
3. be a better friend - one who sends cards and calls when one of my friends really needs me.
4. be a better buisness woman and photographer.
5. devote more time to scrapbook.... and for me!
6. finish getting my house in order, clutter free.
7. loose 10 pounds by my birthday (may 23) i willl give you more on this later!
and the most important....
8. make myself happy.... with the resolution it will take great faith and obedience, and prayer. but i'm willing to sacrifice and take baby steps to reach happiness! some already know what the main ingrediant to happiness is for me! so please pray!
