Zion and I went garage selling and I got Link some really cute clothes and the exact little baby Einstein gym that I wanted and didn't get because it was so expensive... it was only $5!! He's almost too big for it but at least I'll have it for my next kid. Now I just need to find the perfect exersaucer for him. Hopefully I can find one of those for $20 or less in good shape. (So far the ones I've seen at garage sales are complete junk or too stinkin' pricey!) Jess and I are going again on Saturday though, maybe I'll get lucky. =) I'll let you know.

We watched the movie "Flywheel" that we borrowed from our good buddy Sarah... (thanks Sarah!) it's pretty good. Not nearly as good of quality as Facing the Giants or Fireproof... but still a good story. They have obviously upgraded their movie equipment some since making the movie. Of course the acting in Flywheel isn't even as good as the other 2 movies... which is amazing because the other two are about as good of actors as I am. For those of you who weren't at LA camp the year BCF did the skit... you missed out!! ;) It was quite a show! (I'm also quite impressive in live interview type things... lol)

We just had to break out Facing the Giants since we just watched the other 2 so we are watching that one now. Grant just gave his wife the flowers.... that's my favorite part of the movie. It's so cute.

Zion and I had a fun "date" today. We took a trip down memory lane. We first went for a walk around the boardwalk in Kendrick Woods... Lincoln was asleep the whole time. The sad thing about Kendrick Woods is that they tore down the little wooden house were Zion and I carved our initials long ago. (We were such rebels!) When we were ready to leave the park, Zion asked if I wanted to go ahead and drive on into Spencerville (the town where I grew up) and see my old house. I said, "Sure! If you don't mind!", to which he replied, "no problem... cheap thrills!" So we drove on into town and saw some of my old haunts and even went past Zion's Alma mater. LOL



While we were taking it all in... Zion asked me if I knew what we were close to, and for about 1/2 of a millisecond, I didn't know what he was talking about. Once I realized he was talking about Chuffer's... home of the world famous (okay, not really world famous, but oh so delicious they should be!!!) pizza subs, I clapped my hands in glee and giggled like a little school girl. (Seriously!... and do they really do that???) We called them and ordered a sub each then drove around Spencerville for 20 minutes until they were ready to be picked up... no small feat if you've ever driven around Spencerville. (It's small) 20 minutes is a LONG time to kill driving through good ole Spencertucky!! =) We got our subs and ate them in the car at the park. (Not Kendrick Woods, a different one where I used to play softball.)



The middle school I went to for almost a year (before getting caught trying to sneak to that dance, and pulled out to be home schooled. LOL) is gone. They tore it down. It's really weird cause there's just grass with a little patch of dirt where this huge building used to be. My old house has a giant barn behind it and looks like they added onto what used to be our utility room. They also had a huge pile of trash in the front for the garbage man... looks like they might be remodeling something. There was an old vanity out front (not one that I recognized) and a bunch of boards... if I didn't know any better I would think Mom and Dad never moved out! Hahaha.



To finish off the evening we watched "Fireproof". It's awesome!! I highly recommend it. =)

WOohoo!!! Jess texted me last night while I was at church (I just got the message this morning...) to let me know that Country Club Hills is having their garage sell next weekend! I'm so excited! We've gone every year since I got married, except of course past couple years cause I was in Arizona! I've really missed it because it's always so much fun and we always get great bargains!!!!! That is actually one of the things I missed the most while I was in Tucson... seriously..... it's that fun. We go early and walk through the neighborhood together finding all kinds of deals and it's a blast! One year I bought an entire room full of exercise equipment for like $65... it was awesome! (a bike, rowing machine, weight bench, elliptical machine and something else that I never knew what it was called! plus some 3 and 5 pound wights!) That was the year Zion lost all that weight... unfortunately, he gained it all back... but hey! the point is, I LOVE GOING TO THESE GARAGE SALES WITH JESS and I'M VERY EXCITED THAT WE GET TO GO AGAIN!!!! =)

On a separate note, Dad, Justin and Zion are starting a new business together, delivering goods for Menard's, please pray for them that everything will go smoothly and fall into place as they are trying to get loose ends tied up. Thank you. -=)

Happy 9th Birthday to the bestest niece a person could have! (Janessa, of course!) Uncle Zion and I are very proud of you and hope you have a wonderful birthday and fabulous year!! We all love you!

The past 3 months have flown by, I can't believe Link is already getting so big! (And losing his hair!!!) Here's a little tribute to Link from the past few months... enjoy!

Need I say more??

I am watching "Love takes wing" on the Hallmark Channel tonight. It is based on the Love Comes Softly series of books written by Janette Oke. The books are awesome and the movies are very interesting (although not completely in keeping with the books). It's kinda frustrating me because they have not only changed alot of the story line... Belinda is not even Clark and Marty's daughter... she's Missy's adopted daughter! What's up with that?! Also, Willie LaHaye (Missie's husband) died, then Drew Simpson (Belinda's husband) died too! Plus, they keep changing actors so in one movie Belinda has brown curly hair and the next one she has straight blond hair... (that looks suspiciously like a wig!!!) It's kind of annoying. I don't know why I am even watching it cause it's kinda irritating me.

Also, last night Link was sooooo cute. (Shocking , I know, cause that's such a rare occasion... lol) It was late and usually every evening at 10 Zion has to walk around with him to get him to sleep. Nothing else works. He doesn't like it when I try to walk him around, only Zion. Well, for some reason Zion wasn't taking him from me as quick as he usually does and Linky was getting pretty upset. Then finally Zion stood up to take him and when he started to lean down to pick Link up, Linky looked right up at his daddy and immediately stopped crying and a huge grin came over his face. It was sooooo adorable. He was asleep in less than 2 minutes. =)

I have an announcement to make..... 

I'm Pregnant again!!!!!
