lists

I have friends who blog using lists of random thoughts, so I thought I'd give it a try. Here goes:

• today has been a crazy day
• we went to the movies and saw "Enchanted". It was a cute, fun movie.
• we also had an amazing service at church today. i love our church!!! it was packed! we had to sit three rows from the back, which was actually pretty good, but the music was not as loud as down front where we usually sit, and I like it loud! our pastor, Gary Lamb, is doing a series called, "Confessions of a Pastor." one of the things i admire about Gary is that he is real - just-like-you-and-me real, well maybe not JUST LIKE but he has struggles and issues and is a growing Christ follower and isn't afraid to admit that he's not perfect. what you see on Sundays is what you get every other day of the week. i think that's pretty cool!
  
• i love that i have a husband who will go see movies like "Enchanted" with me. we would have seen something else, but the timing of that movie worked out best with what our boys wanted to see, "I Am Legend."
• we had our first er visit for one of our boys this week. we were in the er in Jasper from 10ish to midnightish, and then we had to drive to Canton to the 24 hours Walgreen's to get a prescription for pain meds. he's going to be okay. :)
  
• two of our boys said two of the ranch dogs treed a bobcat while they were out hiking - CRAZY!
• we didn't go to the YMCA the entire week between Christmas and New Years, and my body felt it sooo much when we went back. i hate missing working outs like that. we did a few cardio things during that time, but it didn't help fight a few gained pounds from Christmas or the pain my body felt after the first couple of work outs after the 1st.
• oh my gosh, Michael got a book for Christmas, "Blind Courage" by Bill Irwin. Bill Irwin hiked the entire Appalachian Trail, and Bill Irwin is blind. he hiked it with his seeing-eye dog, Orient. Check him out on youtube. it's an amazing story of courage and faith.
• i've wanted to hike on the Appalachian Trail for a while now - like really hike it - i'm talking backpacks and spending the night a few nights. after reading this story, i'm even more encouraged to do so.
• Michael and i got lots of books for Christmas. another book i got was "Into the Wild". It sounds like an interesting story. They've made a movie of it, which we could have seen today, but i don't like seeing a movie before i read the book.
• well, must go to watch "Amazing Race"
  
• we took our dog to get our blood sugar level checked yesterday. she's diabetic and blind, and she gets around great for being 12 years old
  
• can't wait to see how this week unfolds
