Lots to Say

The first thing I have to do after my last post is tell you about the new book I'm reading. Without a doubt, my most favorite book in the world. It's called The Year of Living Biblically written by A.J. Jacobs. A.J. is an agnostic who decides to live as close to bible laws as possible for one year. Now this is a guy who has read through the Britannica and then for research read through 27 bibles and countless other books. He spends the first 9 months living in the Old Testament and the last three in the New Testament. He consults rabbis, priests, creationists and others on the wide spectrum of religious scholars. Throughout the book A.J. explores all of the questions I have, including the one about wearing clothes made of two different fabrics! It's great and I recommend it to everyone!!

Okay, that said. Big news since the last post. My sister Jennifer and I are right back on track. We had fallen off for a while and I missed her terribly. Well, not at first, because we were both angry at each other. But then I missed her a whole lot and I sent her funny jokes and stories and made a list of five reasons she should love me...basically I hounded her and she finally wrote back. And I cried. And apologized. And now she loves me again!! God is sooo good!

Oh, and I got braces. Yeah, that first week was awful. It was like I had a mouth full of marbles. I couldn't even eat. I would have to do some chewing with my tongue, my mouth wouldn't close and I was dropping food all over the place. Quite gross. I have gotten used to them now though and no longer need to wear a bib or hold my hand in front of my face to shield others from the onslaught of food! I will wear them for 12-15 months..so they should be off by Mother's Day next year.

AAANNNDD...Jimmy and I have been married for 10 years! As of last Friday. Double digits! I can't even tell you how exciting that was. We just hung out with friends and played guitar hero all night (our new favorite game). It was a perfect night. It hasn't all been roses this whole marriage thing, but for the most part, it's been fabulous. And there is no one else in this entire world that I would have wanted by my side to go through it all with. Jimmy is my everything!

So cute..the other day Danielle Williams stayed overnight with us because she had a golf tournament in Mont Belvieu. Well, after she left Kaylee asked me how old she is. I told her 17. She was like "yeahhh, she only has one more year until she finds out if the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus are real." (I told her once that when she turns 18 that mommy and daddy will tell her all of the mommy and daddy secrets!!) So funny, I'll have to make it a point to do that when she is 18. If for nothing else, the eye roll that I'll get will probably be the most dramatic one ever! hahaha

Jimmy got me a new car last night. Mine was in the shop all the time and the warranty was about to go out on it. So, I got a Mazda M5 which is a crossover and soooo cute. It's a car, it gets 28 mpg on the highway and the best part is that the back doors slide back like a minivan. So cute! It is "galaxy grey" and in honor of the name of the color, I have named the car Orb (short for Orbit). And yes, we will travel to infinity and beyond......

That's all for now. And yes, I'm still reading my bible everyday. I'm up to Judges now. It's been a great experience. Especially now with my questions being answered....
