Friday: Florida

Well, Ben and I made it to Florida. The trip down here was surprisingly smooth, actually. We spent some time just hanging out and in the pool with everyone on Thursday. I ended up falling asleep around 8pm (keep in mind we got up at 4am), woke up for about 45 minutes to go to bed, and then slept until 10am. I must have really needed some sleep.

Today we went out on the boat. :) It was fun and warm. It's fun having everyone around. Jacob loves playing with Ben and Ashlyn has a lot more of a personality than she did at Christmas, so that's been fun too.

Jacob: I have reasons why you shouldn't through me in the river.
Me: oh yeah? What are they?
Jacob: The fish might tickle me.

Wednesday: 6 years

To Mom.

I love you. I miss you.

Monday: why I need to emulate my cat

The last post was boring. I'm trying again.

Flurry loves yogurt. It could easily be her favorite food by the way she acts around it. She tries to get it using one tactic, and when she is pushed away she tries a different tactic. Then a third tactic. Then back to the first.

My prayer life needs to be persistent like my cat trying to get yogurt. My cat is almost always successful, why shouldn't I be?

Monday: whoa

Work was either a lot of fun or frustrating today. Needless to say, I was rather out of it by the time I left work.

Sunday: bridal shower

Today I went to a bridal shower for a friend from church. It was for all the women of the church, but I still got a personal invitation. Where am I going with this? It's nice to be getting to know some more people and start feeling a bit more like the church is home rather than just a place I go. It is nice to have people recognize me and know enough about them that there can be some real conversations, not just superficial stuff.

However, I'm still new enough that I wasn't asked to be on the planning committee for this event, which didn't hurt my feelings in the least. There were only a gazillion gifts and I was able to sneak out a little early because I was tired.

Saturday

Today I played with some photos in Picasa after talking with Laura about it yesterday. I made the background black and white and kept myself colorful.

Friday: breaking news

If you're doing CPR to a person, you are no longer supposed to stop and breathe for them. There is enough O2 in the blood and the CPR-giver can't move the blood enough for the O2 to run out.
