April 30

Last day of April, time is going by awfully fast.

I just listened to some John Piper stuff while dawdling with some photos, like the one of Alan.

Wrote a paper on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict today.

I got some Ritas for Alan and Myself after school today.

I got him Mango and me Watermelon.

Ritas has been added to my top list of favorite things.

Well it would be if I had such a list.

These are my favorite trinkets in our house,

I went to the last Friday of Friday classes today.

It was so weird not going this year...i have gone to the Friday classes my whole life...and then didn't any more.

It was senior dress down day...we were super heroes.

I was Bible man.

In the evening we had Jed's birthday celebration.

He got a BB gun. It's huge. It's really cool.

"You can buy new stuff, but you can't buy a new party." -Pam

I love having the office back.

Thursday nights are Thursday nights once again.

April 16

The weather has been completely dandy.

It's wonderful.

One of my favorite aspects of warm weather is getting to roll down car windows.

Monkey Business (not the Marilyn one, but the one with the Marx brothers) is a really funny movie, laugh out loud funny from start to finish.

I haven't recently watched it...but i was recently thinking about it, and it's wonderfully witty humor.

HEARTS spring concert this evening.

and Jed's 10!!!

Jed is so cool.

Happy tax day!

April 14

This is a fictional story about a boy name Alvin.

Each morning, when Alvin awoke, he skipped breakfast and went straight to his very favorite activity...the activity that would make him so excited that he could hardly fall asleep at night.

Looking at himself in the mirror.

After several hours of this Alvin would then go to the soccer field, and play soccer for the rest of the day...not because he enjoyed soccer, but merely because he wanted to keep up his great figure.

Alvin had super powers that not even kangaroos and deer have, he could leap over the world's largest mountains in one giant leap.

He felt so good about it that he would stick out his tongue and belittle all the other people that weren't capable of his leaping abilities.

Sometimes that would hurt their feelings.

April 13

We went to get coffee...but caribou was closed.

And I thought "heck parking lots have the best kind of "natural" lighting around, it's like a studio already set up for you."

so we took advantage of it.

Some one left a cart out so we frolicked and played for a bit.

It got real cold but was a lot of fun.

April 12

There are so many things about Grace Covenant that I am grateful for.

The rich solid teaching, the wonderful hymns, the people...

I love the Church.

April 11

The Anatomy and physiology of our bodies is incredible.

It is extremely humbling to see how intricately our Creator made our bodies.

The Seniors had a dance party at trinity church today.

April 10

I feel like q-tips are easily wasted...

i think it is because of the abundance that there is in one box...

it gives the false feeling that you could never possibly run out of q-tips no matter how many you use.

But we do run out sometimes.

Whoever had the idea of putting a wee bit of cotton on both sides of a stick was a genius.

April 9

I have concluded that it is not physically possible for my ears to ever overdose on Dean Martin's voice...

there is just about no other sound in the world as pleasant as his smooth strong voice running along lyrics and notes.

April 8

Hannah arrived home this very day,

Jennifer Ann Murtha, Christine Arnica, and Mr. Bestor all celebrated Birthdays today too!!

Birthday's are always a little bit exciting.

What a fun filled day.

April 7

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,

Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together.

April 6

We went to church and the I took some pictures at the beach.

Then the Sr. High met up at Pastor Fred's for a question and answer time, it was a lot of fun.

Lots of good stuff.

After that, on our way home, we stopped by the guys soccer game which was also a lot of fun...it was a slightly closer game so it made things very exciting.

April 5

The Hurst family, Thompson family, and my family joined forces and went crazy cheering for the girls soccer game this evening.

It was a complete blast, there were so many of us.

It was so intense.

I love cheering at games.

It's in my top three of favorite activities.

After the game we had a pizza celebration.

April 4

I spent the night at Vic's with Nai tonight.

It was a lot of fun!

The little girls are way too cute.

April 3

I was recently thinking about that Carrie Underwood song..."I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up four wheel drive...

Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats..."

anyway, I was thinking about how much more it would better the song if it was actually about her boy friend cheating in a game of tiddlywinks...or something along those lines.

April 2

I got you to hold my hand,

I got you to understand,

I got you to walk with me,

I got you to talk with me,

I got you to kiss goodnight,

I got you to hold me tight,

I got you, I won't let go,

I got you to love me so.

-Sonny and Cher
