Getting back into the groove

Alrighty! I'm seriously gonna start blogging again! I mean, I'm gonna try to start blogging again. The whole Facebook thing is becoming "old". It's been fun getting in touch with people I went to school with but there are a few things I've noticed. There's a few things that I have asked myself over the past couple of months posting on FB.
1. Does anyone actually stop and pray for those requesting prayer?
2. If your on the way to a hospital or some sort of accident is happening, Why are you posting it at that time?? Shouldn't you be taking care of that?
3. Are you being real? or is it for show?
4. When you post is it just for the reaction from others?
5. Is blogging or FB being used for self gratification?

These are a few of the questions that have been brought to my attention. I'm just sayin'...

This weekend is a special one for us. Today my baby is turning 21 years old. 21!!!! I was 21 when I had him. Michael was born a day before our 2 year wedding anniversary, hence, the family picture. 23 years of marriage has brought forth a 21 year old son, an 11 year old daughter and many gray hairs for Mike. For me, it's weight...

A week ago, Amanda and her friend Lauren dressed up in my old cheerleader uniforms. Yes, I still have them! If I could have made a career out of cheering, I would have!!! Anyway, I realized that I was indeed a small, petite girl back in the day. Which depressed me. Not to mention that we've been watching "The Biggest Loser" only because a woman from this area was on it. To see those people lose all that weight has really inspired me. Now that I'm inspired, I need to do something about it.

But not until after the weekend celebration. Brisket, homemade potato salad, beans, birthday cake!!

Amanda is doing well in school. I think she's at that point to where the though of attending public school again is crossing her mind. Which scares me! Mike has stated that if she wants to go, this is the time to do it because she will not be attending public high school.
I'm praying that urge to go back will pass!

In a week, it will be time for our church to realign lifegroups. Every 13 weeks we switch groups. It's fun and scary at the same time! I've really enjoyed getting to know the couples in our group the past 13 weeks.

Looks like Hubby is preparing the brisket to go on the grill!! Yummy!!! Guess I need to get off this to make the potato salad and birthday cake.

Have a wonderful weekend!
