Breathe Like You

I am getting ready to make A slide show for Cystic Fibrosis.I was looking for songs to use for the slide show and came across this breathe website.I just LOVED it, It was everything that people with CF go through but in A song. Music is such A powerful thing and I am just so in love with this song. The gentleman Matt who wrote the song lost his son to Cystic Fibrosis.So just as it is important to me it is to him. The people who sang this song are battling every day with Cystic Fibrosis and MADE this song SO powerful.Anyways, Check it out I love it and I know in my heart that my husband WILL one day BREATHE LIKE ME!!!! If you would like to help CF stand for CURE FOUND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go to the Great Strides website and donate. I know we are all going through hard times but 5 dollars is a great donation.

Vacation

Today was our first day of vacation and simply amazing.We woke up this morning and got right in the pool, It was so nice. I dont have very good Internet access here so this will be it until we get home. Check out the pool, My Mom and Step Dad have A salt water pool and at night it lights up with Disco lights... So neat anyways... Cant wait to share my pictures with you when I get home. Yall please pray for us as we left our furbaby Jag at home and quite frankly I'm having A hard time LOL.....

Randomness

Just some random thoughts of mine... If I offend you I am truly sorry....Consider yourself warned

Do the astronauts hear the sonic boom in the shuttle?

How can people not belive in God?

Why do people think its OK to bring your child out in public with no clothes on....ITS NOT OK

Please people, STOP asking Nick and I when we are going to have kids...It WILL be A while unless God gives us A miracle....This would be nice

I really miss our apartment

I am so thankful that Jag likes riding in the car

Today Mrs. Campbell gave us Nicks shirt for free for the walk, That was really nice and made me smile

I am so thrilled about these adorable little rings in the gumball machine at walmart.

I wish everyone had common sense

I am sick of having to beg people to donate 5 dollars to our great strides team.If you dont have it just tell me so I can quit asking you

I am SO beyond excited to see my Mom and Step Dad tomorrow.

I am really not feeling leaving Jag for almost a week.

I love the red hot chili peppers

I love doing these random thoughts things, I think its therapeutic

I am so happy that it is summer and I can wear my hot pink nail polish

I am sooo in love with my new necklace and earring set that I just bought for 2.99....yes I said 2.99

I despise packing and unpacking

I am now off to pack......

I wish I could make something to make A lot of money.

ONE PINT

Yes It is A little uncomfortable,But I can say that I am responsible for saving THREE lives today. How awesome is that!!!! Today we had A blood drive at work, So on my lunch break off I was to donate. Not only did I donate today but I hit my gallon mark woot woot...Anyways Donating blog is A AMAZING thing, I wish people did it more often.

 This is the worst part of it all.... The little teeny tiny finger prick

I have done this A bunch of times and yet I was still A little nearvous..

This lady takes my blood everytime, No one else, She is that good

And were off...

M-I-C-K-E-Y

M-O-U-S-E

I picked up A extra shift tonight to earn some extra cash for our vacation. Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow as well and miss my faviorite Lil buddys birthday. My friend Brad and Brittney are throwing A Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed party for there little girl Haley.

So Brittney and I were thinking of some games the kids could play and it hit me,PIN THE EARS ON MICKEY. So there I was googling away and I realized that this was not A common game played so i had to make my own up... I have to say I love the way it came out... Its kinda hard to get the full effect.

Then I made little ears for the kids to pin onto Mickeys ears... I thought it was pretty cool. I would play it if I were A kid, heck Id play it now...

On another note, Nick and I got AWESOME news!!! Every year before we go to camp we Nick has to give A culture to make sure he is not growing anything to funky or B Cepacia...ITS A GO!!!! We are good for camp, No B Cepacia... So Nick and I are more than exited about seeing everyone again this year and enjoying everyone....Yall have A good night

Crazy Beautiful

Today was kinda crazy, I had the day off which called for lots of errands. Nick and I ran around trying to gather up donations for the Great Strides walk. We had some luck which made my day  week,Thanks to all those who donated.Nick and I went out to lunch which was oh so yummy and I splurged on A sweet tea which has been oh too long. Oh how I have missed you sweet tea,My hips still hate you though.

While we were running around we thought we would have A little fun, Because after all Nick and I are two big kids. Nick has been wanting to go to the indoor batting cages in Macclenny so bad so off we went to hit some balls.Once I got in there and saw how fast the balls flew I quickly decided I was out, Call me A chicken if ya want. I just wasn't feeling getting pegged with a ball going 60 mph,Sorry for the lack of entertainment.Nick on the other hand loved it,The guy was nice enough to not even charge us and just let Nick try it. Nick learned it was a great form of air clearance as he kina got wore out quickly.

When we got home my sister in law and her husband came over with little sweet Trace.I cant belive how fast this little guy is growing,He is looking more and more like his Dad. Then my friend Brittney came over with her little girl Haley and Chase who was also born on the same day as Trace and two rooms apart. HA!!!

Tomorrow is back to the grind with work,Then we will be off to Ft. Lauderdale for vacation on Wednesday.I am SO excited I really am ready to see my Mom and Step Dad and MORE than ready for  A vacation. Have  A GREAT Thursday people
