Look at this people, I'm updating and it's only been like a few weeks! :)
Warning!
this is going to be a very random post, most likely.
Today I made dinner! *gasp* I know, I know! Don't worry, mum was helping a bit, and Maria was in the next room, so it was all under control. But I didn't do too bad, I don't reckon (ask my family if you want to know the real story :))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As some of you know i work (Volunteer) at a nursing home, and yesterday i went and had a funny conversation with this dear lady ( i love all the people!.. most of the time :j):
Me: Hello Ruth.
Ruth: hello, love.
Ruth: why are you in here? You're much to young. Go live your life don't wast your time with lots of old people like me.
Me: But that's the cool bit of it, you all have lived so much longer then me, and its so neat. So you've got lots of stories are so much wiser.
Ruth: but still, you should be out in the world, living your life. Enjoying each moment you have.. Because, trust me dear, life goes by so quickly. And before you know it you're old like me, in here, and life is gone. SO enjoy it while you can.
:) I love the old dears dears. Even Bob who has asked me to marry him about 6 times ;) It's to much fun.

Okay, i just had to share this as well (and yes, i know we're going from senior citations to 1st graders, but that's okay).
A first grade teacher had twenty-five students in her class and she, presented each child in her class the first half of a well known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading these keep in mind that these are first graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is classic!

Christmas is coming. Believe it or now, I'm actually sorta starting to get a bit excited about it. Pretty much when people ask me what I'm doing for Christmas i answer; "sitting at home and crying, how 'bout you?" :) The only real Christmas present i want to see under the tree at the moment, is a big box with my brothers inside.... I am having a laugh at all the e-mails going around between my family at the moment about 'Christmas lists' and Christmas presents. Okay, what ever happened to actually shopping at a store, not online!? Hehe, welcome to the life of a nerdy family (and one that is separated by 950,000 miles). Oh the joys..
It's heating up here.. i know.. summer and Christmas.. it's pretty much to weird to think about.. so just don't. ;) I just want school to be done with! Almost.. Lord willing, only like 1 or so more weeks for Ben and me (Maria and Charity are already done, and have been for two weeks!).

Well.. I'm running our of randomness for now. So i might just end with this quote:
And if I stand...let me stand on the promise that You will pull me through and if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You.-Rich Mullins
Have a perfectly, glorious, bright life, lovelies! Live it to the fullest, laugh, don't wast time complaining. You don't know what's really important to you, till it's taken away from you.. And remember.. you're life is just a vapor!
x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o
Here are some Photos from our lovely weekend in Nhill. Go to Charity's blog for the whole story.
I love these guys! The farmers life is not an easy one.. It would be pretty hard living way out in the country like that. God bless 'um!

Cute post. :) You should tell more stories about your Old People friends because they are so great.
Those probably aren't the world's loveliest pictures...but that was a very fun trip. And I didn't record the story NEARLY as well this year. I've gotta start journaling more...
Ha, my favorite "proverb" is "Two's company, three's the Musketeers!"
Our family's nerdiness amuses me much, as well.
I think I like spring time the best. Summer is just a bit too much sometimes... we should try to pack our days with stuff, and then it will actually seem FUN. :o)
Aww! That was such a sweet post Tamara. I loved the proverbs from all the kids! Those are classics. :)
I hope you have a Merry Christmas despite the sad things that come with it this time around.
Last night and tonight was/is the Genevans' Christmas concert...it's sooo much fun! And the church is...well, just beautiful and wonderful for the acoustics! :)
Anyway, that's kinda getting me in the Christmas mood...but I'm not really there yet. :)
Have a wonderful day!

haha! I can tell a few old people stories too...Many of the people who come to the resturant are such. :-) I have one of those Bob Types...they are pretty great aren't they? ;-)
