Gorgeousness and Stupidness

When is the last time you saw something this gorgeous???

So two little venting items....

Why is it that because a woman is pregnant, people think even rude things are ok to say? While I have to just sit there and nod and grin...

Does it seem fair for someone to say "Wow, you don't even look pregnant!!!"

REALLY??? I DON'T??? Well how do you know I am then??? I might just be a huge fat cow with a BIG 'OL pot belly!!!!!!!!! I LOOK pregnant your fool!!!! UGH!!!!!!

Or how about "Wow, you look ready to pop!!!!"

THANKS!!!!!! Because I wanted to make sure that I look SO large that getting any larger would make me explode!!! Im SOOOO glad you said that...because, you know, I don't know you, nor do I care what you think...RRRAAOOOOORRRR!!!!!!!!!

Keep your mouths shut people...if you want to ask when my due date is and then lie and say "wow you look great!" I can take that...but thats about all I want to hear from your pie hole!

Loving

Im quoting SoftLetters here...

"i've come to realize that i only love God as much as i love the person i love the least. i am to be an instrument of peace, of mercy, of community, of justice and guess what? hating people, even in a passive way, destroys that. there is no place for hate in a peacelover and there is no room for such darkness in someone who wishes to dwell in the light of the Lord. looking in a spiritual mirror is uncomfortable but time and experience has told me that the pain of dealing with myself, dying to myself to follow the Kingdom is exponentially rewarding."

Health Screening

This weekend was our free health screening at the local mall. I was hesitant and nervous. Friday, we got there, set up and didn't exactly know where to start. Our kiosk was located right next to one of those SUPER annoying phone booths where the guys shout out annoying or obscene things to try to get you to switch phone services! So people were kind of annoyed passing them and were kinda hurrying passed us. Our goal for the entire weekend was to get 1 patient...and I have to say...it was a HUGE sucess.
Friday, our wing of the mall had a power outage!!! So that was unfortunate. We still made 2 prepaid appointments for new patients and have a possible 3rd patient that had to go home and check her schedule. She is supposed to be calling the office Monday to set up an appointment. Saturday, we scheduled 4 new appointments and have a few other "potentials" that are supposed to call at another time. Today, we were there for 30 minutes and schedules 1 appt...but the whole mall was evacuated because of a bomb threat lol...see what happens when you move to a small town haha. We spoke with the mall manager and because of the chaos (power outage and bomb threat) we get to have another day at another time. So that will be another opportunity for us.
I am so proud of Will. Its a really frightening thing starting a business...I never imagined how scary it would be. Its hard because you feel rejected personally and just worried...but anyhow, it couldn't have gone better...here is the handsome Doctor (and Wills brother Jordan who helped out thsi weekend too) in front of our kiosk.

Gardening


The boys did a "my first gardening kit" today. Just some sunflowers. But we are actually on our way to the store to purchase our spring time planting needs. Im excited.

Thinking, Love, Light and Gas

So Solomon found some of Wills old "just for looks" glasses...Solomon calls them his "cool glasses" and this face, his "thinking face." He does this really hilarious "hmmmmm" to go along with it...he is so darn handsome...

Here are Solomon and Jillian walking hand in hand to the park...they (meaning mostly Solomon) have their tiffs but they are such agood friends. I love watching our best friends child and our child play so nicely and love eachother so dearly... TOday we ran into Candice and Jillian at the mall and Jillian said "Hey Solomon...wacha doin'??" Its sooo sweet. Im so glad they are friends.

My light...basking in the sunshine.


So here in our state, we have these grocery stores that let you earn rewards when you spend money and swipe your rewards card...I earned myrewards and got an entirely free tank of gas...is that awesome or what?????
