SSSSssssss!!!!

Sorry so long!

I have to tell what happened to me at gymnastics. Jeff went with me and Heath was getting restless. So....I decided to take him to the car. On the way out I stepped on a snake. We just happened to meet at just the right moment we met.

I am not scared of snakes. I just don't want to step on them. Anyways....I screamed and the whole place looked at me. I tried to get away and stepped on it again, kicking it in the door. At that point I look in and some lady is standing on her chair. I am sure it was a sight to see.

Some man finally got it out of the door with a magazine. This is the 2nd time I've had a snake run across my feet. Not the kind of luck you want!

In other news. I registered for Valencia. I am going back to school to get my certification back. Since I was out that way, I stopped by to see Andrea. She did my make-up and plucked my eyebrows. I looked pretty tired and when she was done...I looked marvelous! Plus it was fun hanging out with my "BFF"

Wednesday night our home team and the college home team met with the Bledsoe's to discuss the up and coming move. I can't imagine not being a part of it. I feels so good to look around and see all the excitement in everyone's faces. I am looking forward to January. I truly believe the next few years are going to be the best in the life of C3.

Love my C3 FAMILY!!!!

PS-Went to IKEA today for 15 min., must go back.....maybe in the morning!

Thanksgiving Recap

• Spent Wednesday night at my mom's for dinner. My sister's family and both grandparents were there. Which was nice, since I didn't spent Thanksgiving day with them.
• Thanksgiving Day I spent at Jeff's parents. The food was great. I took a 2 hour nap and went out later with Jeff and his dad.
• Black Friday(which I've never done!) with the Bazer Girls and Mama Bazer. What a rush. Bought lots of things....some needed....some not! Took a two hour nap! Went out later with my mom.
• Thought lots about my grandpa that day. He passed two years ago. Just a few hours before Thanksgiving.
• Saturday, we were all grumpy. Came back home and played.
• Sunday, Church! I thought Power House went well. The kids enjoyed themselves. Sad I missed service, heard it was great. Can't wait to see were God leads me to spend the money!!
• Today, slept in past 8:30. Kaelyn was late for school. Jeff is still in bed. Think we are all worn out!
  

Ding Dong

Went to see Rob Bell speak last night. I have never heard him speak, other than a few videos he has made. The more I thought about the things he said, the more inspired I become.

He starts out talking about the history(very well researched) of the gods. The never ending sacrifices! The guilt that was bestowed upon you if something in life wasn't going your way. You must not have sacrificed enough!

People would give up their first born. Men would castrate themselves. For what? You could never give enough.

I was encouraged to remember that Christ paid the ultimate sacrifice. When I sin, I need to ask for forgiveness and let it go. But this is so hard to do. I still can let guilt affect me. So I got to thinking, maybe I really don't lay it at the cross. I think I say a quiet little prayer and hope for the best.

I should be on my knees pouring out my soul. Not a quiet, some-what meaningful prayer. Hoping that will end this guilty feeling.

He also talked about being a Living Sacrifice. He told many stories of people helping others. Something I don't have a lot of experience in. In fact, I can count on one hand times I have truly sacrificed.

So to wrap it up, I am really glad I went. I think I might actually pick up one of his books. Which a year ago, I would have laughed if you thought I would read one of his books. Stupid Internet searches!

Magazines and My Cousin

I was thinking about how when I was little, my cousin and I would get old magazines and pick out the things we wanted for our house when we grew up. We would pick the house, the furniture, plates, etc....

My cousin is one of the most creative people I know. She has seemed to have blocked out all the crazy things we did. For example:

• The time I sat on the handle bars and she told me she was going to close her eyes. She made me tell her which way to go. I told her there was a tree and a sharp corner, so she better open her eyes. She ignored me and ran right into the tree and I went flying.

• The time she decided to play water fountain in my bed. Then left my bed to go sleep with my sister, because my bed was too wet!

• My cousin had us knock on neighbor's doors trying to earn money for Circus World. I think we made $1.75!

• Thought it would be fun to have a cake fight on the front lawn with all the cakes we won at the Halloween Carnival.

• Made us a bowl of popcorn to throw all over the family room on New Year's Eve!

• Took me and my younger cousin in the deep end of the wave pool at Wet n Wild. We had no raft and I am pretty sure I was 7 and my younger cousin was 5. I almost drown!

• We played hide and seek in the dark and threw grapes at each other.

• On Thanksgiving took us on a bike ride through a cemetery, because the electricity went out.

I can think of many more. Some of my best memories are with her. In fact she was more like a sister than a cousin!

Road Trip

I was thinking about the Bledsoe's on their way to Texas. (I hope the u-haul doesn't give you any trouble.....Just Kidding). It brought back memories of traveling to Ohio in the family station wagon. Back then, you didn't have to wear seat belts!



Funny thing is the back seat window only opened that much. My mom took it back thinking something was wrong. The side window did vent. It also had vinyl seats. The best part is when my dad when Amoral them! We would slide from one end to the next every time we took a turn.

Anyways, back to the trip. We would leave at the crack of dawn. Drive until my dad was ready to pass out. He would lay down the back seats and spread out, leaving my brother and I to sit in a ball with our knees in our chest. And if you have seen my dad (Wardtogo), he is huge.

We also had this squeak in the back window that drove us all nuts. My mom would spend the whole trip trying to figure out how to stop it with napkins.

There were so many fun memories with this car. I believe we bought it when I was five. My dad owned it until I was 15. I even drove it. It surpassed 200,000 miles. Wonder where it is today?

So what ever you plans are for Thanksgiving, remember the road trip will hold memories forever!!
