Be My Valentine

Women Living Well

Women Living Well is hosting a Marriage Challenge: 

Here is the challege from their site: There are 4 weeks until Valentine’s Day so I thought it might be fun to do a little -

 ”Be My Valentine” ~ Marriage Challenge!  

Each week the challenge will be the same – to praise, encourage, inspire, admire, build up, thank and appreciate your husband. But each week I will give you different ways to express your praise. Feel free to tweak it for what you think is best for your husband.

I think this is a great and loving challenge. I look forward to participating. The week begins on Monday, January 21.

My Filofax Weeks 1 and 2

I am joining a group of bloggers by posting my weeks throughout the year.  Busy is an understatement, and running our of room trying to post all of my activities.  Here are Weeks 1 and 2. I am happy that my 6th grade teacher cannot see my handwriting now. I would get a big F.

Photo A Day Challenge

This is a fun activity where you post a pic each day of your filofax  on Flickr or Instagram using the guidelines by day. I need to catch up and find something green in my filo for yesterday! I have the perfect picture.

Winner Take All

Redskins vs Dallas
This is it for both teams. They must lay it all on the line. The winner will win the NFC East Champions. RGIII vs Romo. Too much pressure to place on the QBs. Romo has thrown two interceptions in the first quarter. Too much pressure! The winners will move on to the playoffs and the losers will go home. Tied at 7 each at the half. Only time will tell!

My Dilemna

I have a dilemna! How can I keep calm? Which Filofax shall I begin 2013? 

It Was A Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas,

We have a tradition of reading the story of Jesus' birth on Christmas morning, however this year, I reread the homily from the 4th Sunday of Advent from our Priest. The question we must ask ourselves, Where is God in all that is happening in my life? What is God up to in these things that are happening to me? What is God trying to accomplish through me in all of this? The meaning and purpose of our lives is exclusively a matter of faith, something we must leave in the hands of God, after allowing Him to dwell in us, and after offering our lives to Him and leaving them at His disposal. What is important and central to everything is that we have faith, a faith in which we places ourselves and our lives into the hands of God who love us.

Voting-I Approved This Message!

  

We Voted!

 We voted this morning.  Our sons voted absentee ballot. It was so nice to see the long lines of people exercising their right to vote.  We often take voting for granted.  I overheard people saying the last time I voted, the polling location was at the elementary school.  That was four years ago. My goodness, all elections are important, not just the presidential election.

This was the first year that we did not have at least one of our sons in tow.  Seeing so many parents with children at the polls was heartwarming. 

I believe that if you do not vote, you have no right to complain, deal with it.

Regardless of the outcome, I am so happy that I do not have to hear another "I approved this message".
