Thankful Thursday

November 8, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

  • I’m actually thankful for the time change this week and that I’m up at 7:10 and that gives me time to have a devotional in the morning and actually get clothes and makeup on before I take the kids to school.
  • I’m thankful God was able to use our guest speaker this week who lost several friends as a teenager to comfort our youth last night who lost a friend in an accident this weekend.  That’s not a coincidence.
  • I’m thankful for my girls this week as one turned another year older and one will in a few weeks.
  • I’m thankful for my job and the ability to stay home with the girls.
  • I’m thankful God is moving people in our youth council.  Not to say I’m ecstatic a couple is gone.  I’m just thankful that means He’s preparing us for the right people to do some great things.

Today, as I did last week, I just feel that "life is good".  And it feels great.

Egg Nog

November 7, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

First glass of egg nog for the season.  Yum, this is good.

Do you drink Egg Nog during the season?  I do.  I start early and end late.  It’s one of my favorite treats of the season.

I haven’t posted one of these Vintage Amy Posts in awhile so I pulled out my old journals and will be posting a few…

We had fun @ ML’s party.  We snuck out, but didn’t get caught.  We almost did though.  We watched Wayne’s World & Sleeping with the Enemy.  Well, let’s get to the good part.

M & I went to Carrigan Farms for Halloween with the youth group.  I saw L and went to introduce M to him.  We were down by the lake then and then went up the hill and he left. But GB, M’s dream guy stayed and talked to us.  S didn’t really hang around us that much because she was mad at M for liking G.  Anyway M and G sat beside each other after G asked her to.  I told L to sit beside me.  When the ride first started h put his arm around me and I didn’t think anything of it.  Then he started rubbing my hand.  I was getting cold and put my blanket over us.  Everybody was throwing hay everywhere so M and G put their blanket over their heads and it didn’t look very good.  But anyway, the hay was sliding, so L& I were practically lying down.  By this time we were holding hands.  And @ one point I though the had kissed me on my neck and if he didn’t, something was on my neck.  We were under the covers and he asked me if I had a boyfriend and Heather called me so I took the covers off.  I think he was going to ask me out.  Then in the van we were holding hands.  It felt like it was supposed to be, but I kept thinking about S.  I don’t think S like me, so everybody says I should like L, but I know the minute I see S, I’ll start liking him again.  I think I’ll just wait it out, I don’t know.  When L was holding my hand, it felt good to hold someone’s hand, but I don’t know if I want it to be his.

Amy!

What you should know now:

Wayne’s World!

People, please remember I was 14.  Why I embarrass myself with these, I don’t know.  But I laugh at most of it.  The really scary thing is less than two years from this date, I met Scott and have not dated anyone else.  Yeah…that’s scary stuff. 

If you’ve never read any of these posts or for some reason can’t keep up with my teenage love life, I did end up "dating" L.  S and I sort of went on a date eventually but I don’t think he ever really liked me.

And yes, I really did write the word "at" with @ and really did put an exclamation point after my name when I signed it in cursive.  There are also hearts drawn around this entry.

Honestly, I really don’t remember much of anything in this post happening. I remember sneaking out of ML’s party and I think all we did is walk up and down the neighborhood streets.  I remember going to the farm and sort of remember there being a hay ride but can’t remember any of these details I mentioned.  It feels kind of weird to read about events that happened to you but you can’t remember.

Colbie Caillat – Bubbly

November 7, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

I’m in love with this new song by Colbie Caillat.  It’s on repeat on my iTunes as we speak.  I couldn’t embed the original video from YouTube but found this one just so you could hear it.

Chuck E. Cheese Countdown

November 7, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

So now Emma’s "boyfriend" is coming to the party as well as a few more from their classes.  Right now, there are 14 kids going to be there plus all the adults.  Oh my, I think I need to go ahead and start praying for patience.

She WAS sleepy

November 7, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

After Lexi fell asleep around 6pm last night, she ended up waking up for about 10 minutes around 1:30am and then didn’t wake up for good until 6:30 this morning.  Sleepyhead!   Needless to say, she was in a good mood this morning.

Somebody was sleepy

This time change thing has us all messed up.  Sunday morning we woke up a little early but feeling great.  I had the girls in bed early the past two nights and that was nice.  But yesterday I woke up tired because I stayed up until my normal bedtime Sunday night but that was an hour past my normal bed time and then the girls woke up early Monday morning.  So I went to bed early last night but then the girls got up extra, extra early this morning at 6:30!! 

I’m feeling ok just because I went to bed so early last night but look who fell asleep right after dinner?  She literally finished her dinner, rolled over onto the ottoman and fell asleep within about 10 seconds. 

Now I don’t know whether this is a nap or she’ll be out the whole night and get up extra, extra early tomorrow or if she’ll get up soon and then stay up extra late and then be tired in the morning.  Which means I’ll be tired in the morning.

OK, I’m sure you’re confused after all that because like I said, this time change thing has us all messed up!
