The Leader of the Fam...

It's funny how something so small and adorable could be so demanding. It's really quite funny. My sister and I do not have any children yet so Chloe is the granddog. Big Momma (my mom) took this picture. She is definitly a Big Momma's girl. Big Momma carries her around and gives her treats and waits on her every need. My sister comes in a close second in Chloe's eyes. Chloe follows Hill around everytime they are together. She loves Big Dog (my dad) too. She would tell you that he can throw the ball better than anyone else in the family. She is definitely the leader of our family. She drives me nuts sometimes but life would be very boring and dull without her. She is going to the Pet Palace this weekend while we are at the wedding. She is going to be pampered while the rest of us are going to be running around like chickens with our heads cut off. I am not sure who has the better end of the deal. Only time will tell.

What a Mighty God We Serve...

The Lord never ceases to amaze me. Just when I think life is so crazy and hectic right now he shows me what is really important. The pastor at my church gave a wonderful sermon yesterday it was about T.I.M.E. (Treasuring Individual Moments Effectively). It really put things into perspective about what is important in life and what to treasure. One of the main points of the sermon was if you waste time; you waste life. It was very enlightening. I learned that it is truly important to not sweat the small stuff and just to focus on treasuring my relationship with the Lord instead of wasting time and life on situations that are completely out of my control.

Rain, Rain, Go Away....

It has rained for two solid days. It is a beautiful steady rain. However, do you have any idea how fun it is to entertain 20 seven and eight year olds who haven't been able to run out any of their energy. It's exhausting!!!!! I had recess duty today. It is is not fun entertaining 170 second graders full of energy and stuck inside for recess. We all survived and I didn't even have to use my teacher (I mean business) voice. I would call that a successful day. The rain is supposed to end tomorrow. I am holding out for outside recess on Friday. Here is a picture of my crazy wonderful class.
