The best love song...

I have no inspiration...

to write. I don't know why. My brain is just a little... dead. So I'll just say what I've been up to.
Typing (Precious Truth... by John Anderson), cleaning other people's houses, cleaning my house, cooking, trying to keep up with Greek (it's not like there's much homework.... it's just there's so little time. I love Greek though. it's fun. and awesome.), trying to read from a pregnancy book I have (I want to eventually be a midwife... but as I have no money saved up to take courses, I'm just starting with the basics), calligraphy, crocheting/knitting (I'm stuck on a crochet project cuz I can't figure out the pattern!! pattern's are evil, I tell you), reading Christ the Way the Truth and the Life by John Brown of Wamphray, and Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris, spending a lot of time at Jen's and banging on my piano while I'm there =D, having birthday parties (Josh's and Ang's most recently), mother's day breakfast, thanksgiving-for-God's-bountifully-blessing-us-with-work party!, testing different Sam Adams beers =D, babysitting chillens, aaaaaaaaaand procrastinating about blogging. I think the reason I have issues with posting is cuz I don't have enough time to get a full post out.... at one time. Ya know, without interruptions. I guess I'm just spoiled, used to having more time on my hands. So therefore I give a ginormous round of applause to those women with children who STILL find time to post... more often than I do. hah. That's what I call time management. Rock on, ladies.
Well! It's 8:something... almost 9. Time for family worship, then bed! Hopefully a bit of reading before. I find reading so very encouraging, comforting, enlightening, and just plain old good.
Have a good evening, everyone! =)
(I don't have time for captions, so you're on your own as to the meaning or significance of the pictures)

Charles Darwin:

"...one obscure, amateur naturalist who visited a tiny group of islands in the South Pacific, and observed a little population of finches, gave us modern science." [ http://www.visionforum.com/hottopics/blogs/dwp/ ] Ooh man, I love that. Darwin is so revered today among secular scientists.... which is most scientists... and that quote is just so... not flattering. =D I love it.

Some pictures! Finally. =D

The blog lives...

so I suppose I should give an update of what's been happening in my life. well that would take too long. so I'll just say a bit... I got my GED in the mail yesterday... and did very well... except in Math (which is odd). My last test for At-Home Professions was finally posted online. Over the whole course, I have an A average. Yay. Praise the Lord. I need to write up a resume now. Scary.A random event that I find exceptionally exciting... I got a beautiful dress. Haha, why? Well cuz it was at the thrift store and we couldn't pass it up. I have no idea where I'll ever wear it to. Someone's wedding? I told Jen recently we need to have a wedding. So maybe someone will get married and I can wear my beautiful dress. Anyhoo... that's about all I've got right now. so I'll post some pics of the kids. ;)

They were making themselves quite difficult to photograph. ;) You know, wiggling and squirming, fake smiling, squeezing eachother to the point of major laughter eruption. hehe

And the color was all weird. I tried to fix it... but they still don't look right. ODviously. ;)

Very much brother and sister.

And... very much them. =D

Sniffin her flower.
Ahem, I mean, inhaling the glorious aroma of her birthday primrose.

Sayonara!

lol

I love this... it's so funny, but sadly, true too.

I'M DONE!!!

I sent in my final exam to At Home Professions tonight!!! I caaan't believe it. *sigh of RELIEF*
I'll post more later... pictures of Jen's necklaces and such things. ;)
Toodles!

All right....

*Sigh* It's been a while... and a day. I could go on almost endlessly about how busy things have been (busy in a good way) and how I just haven't had time to post and yada yada... but I'll save that for later. ;)

Right now, I'm going to say something that I should've over a month ago. But, as you see, posting hasn't really been an option. ;)

What I should've said, is Happy Birthday to my Dad! His birthday was the 5th of last month. Almost the month before last. Ah, time flies. To spare the confusion, it was December 5th.

Dad is pretty much a one-and-only kind of man, in an admirable way. He is patient, approachable, slow to judge and astonishingly slow to anger, quick to listen and forgive, understanding... He loves his family and has always tried his absolute best to provide for us, spiritually and physically. He has taught me from the time I was born about God's Word (the absolute greatest gift a father can give. Thank you SO much!), answered my questions about Scripture, trained me and corrected me. I'm so thankful to the Lord for the understanding and wisdom my dad has imparted to me. He has been an instrument used of God to keep me from walking in unrighteousness... he has reeled me in, even when I didn't want to be. He has been firm and constant in what he believes. He is truly a man of principle. He has been a faithful minister, even when times have been so terribly hard and so tearing on his health and mind. He is a patient minister with his flock, and cares for them like a father.

In short, he has been a faithful, tender, caring, diligent husband, father, grandfather, minister... and well, man. I am so grateful to the Lord for my dad and for the way He has used him for His glory and our good!
All my love, Dad! Happy Birthday!
