9 Things

1.  Now that we are home from Africa and setting into our summer groove my next online Bible journaling class will begin July 1st and run through the 15th.  You can read about the online class HERE.  Email me or message me HERE if you are interested in signing up.

2.  Glowing Green Smoothies have been back in full effect upon returning home too.  I might be an addict.  Can you be simultaneously addicted to green salad smoothies and cookies, ice-cream, candy and all baked goods?  Apparently so.

 

3.  Josh Kelley and I are excited to announce we are expanding our family.  We are taking suggestions for names.  Bahahahahahaha.

I can’t even tell you how many times I have laughed so hard about this.  It’s embarrassing really.

4.  We finally made it to the wave pool and we officially kicked off summer.  So far we’ve been twice.  I might start keeping a wave pool tally chart to keep track.  We’re full on Wave Country junkies.

5.  After one of our trips to said wave pool I had to get on some serious drugs because the random antibiotic I started taking did not support me being in prolonged sun exposure.  Who knew?!?!?  Clearly not me.  What tipped me off was the insane headache and my skin feeling as if it was melting off my body.  It was crazy town.  Anyways, long story short…I visited our local Kroger’s Little Clinic and they hooked me up.  Only problem was one of the meds was drowsy inducing.  Everyday around the same time for about 5 days I could barely keep my eyes open.  I sent Josh this picture to try and lure him home early from work.  He said I should make it my avatar…which translates to profile pic in Josh Kelley language.  Bless him…he only has twitter.

6.  A friend text me this and I laughed out loud.  I have so many thoughts on foster care…numero uno being:  It’s a freakin’ roller coaster, so just sit tight, try and love the best you can and hold on for dear life. It’s all over the place and emotional and hard and the minute you think you’ve got anything figured out, just wait about, oh, about 2 minutes and another loop will be thrown and you’ll realize you really don’t know a damn thing.  I just keep asking God for grace, mercy, love and compassion.  I need all of those in abundance.

7.  A new summer rule is in play this year.  Everyday when the two littles go for a nap, the three big kids grab their journal and a book, I set the timer for one hour and then they journal and read until the timer beeps.  The house is quiet.  All the humans are quiet.  And I sit and Bible journal and blog.  So far, so very very good.

8.  Amon started baseball and OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!  A) He loves it.  Like loves loves it.  And B)  It’s the cutest thing I’ve seen in all my life.

And 9.  For the first ever I went and vacuumed out our van.  And it was the best $3 I’ve spent in a very very long time.  I told Josh I’m going to start spending $3 every few months just for the sheer satisfaction sucking up all the crap on our van floor brings to my disheveled heart.  With that said I did stop up the first industrial vacuum I used which caused me to slam the vacuum repeatedly against our bumper and say curse words.  HOW DID I STOP UP AN INDUSTRIAL VACUUM?!?!  And I did drive away drenched in sweat.  The back of my hair line was wet…with said sweat.  Vacuuming a dirty van is not for the faint of heart.

Enjoy your weekend party people.

Happy Friday!
