A taggie about my man

I was sort of tagged by Emily and Jessica so I wanted to share too. 21 things about my main man!


1. He's sitting in front of the TV, what is on the screen? Football, Golf (aka Tiger), or cooking shows, but I bet if boxing came on regular TV and not just cable he would be watching that, cuz I always catch him on ESPN.com looking at boxing

2. You're out to eat; what kind of dressing does he get on his salad? Ranch...but I have seen him be adventuress and pick others from time to time like Cesar or Catalina

3. What's one food he doesn't like? rice which stinks because it eliminates MANY meals

4. You go out to the bar. What does he order? He has never had a drink...so my guess would be water?

5. Where did he go to high school? In the same town we live in

6. What size shoe does he wear? 11 but he will not just go buy any pair of 11's, they have to fit, and fit well or he won't buy them. Me it just has to be pretty and it's mine!

7. If he was to collect anything, what would it be? TOOLS, and because his real name is Thor he collects toys with Thor on them

8. What is his favorite type of sandwich? grilled meat and bbq

9. What would he eat every day if he could? grilled meat with country fixins

10. What is his favorite cereal? He is not a cereal man

11. What would he never wear? real pajamas or turtle necks

12. What is his favorite sports team? Cowboys

13. Who did he vote for? McCain

14. Who is his best friend? ME. He has lots of great friends though

15. What is something you do that he wishes you wouldn't do? waste time and forget stuff

16. How many states has he lived in? 1 MO

17. What is his heritage? I don't remember...Irish-ish?

18. You bake him a cake for his birthday; Chocolate no icing

19. Did he play sports in high school? Baseball Baseball Baseball

20. What could he spend hours doing? Watching grilling cooking shows then grilling out or watching sports mostly, golf (only if Tiger's playing) and football-college or pro's

21. What's something cool about him? He never does or says anything unless he plans on doing it right and he knows what he is talking about. He is TOO good at being perfect, but I love it because it makes me try harder...not much harder but harder.

Well that was fun, won't you share about your man too? Don't forget to tell us if you do so we can go read it.

Quote: "Homeschooler's are DEMENTED"

Well everyone while reading a KONOS e-group letter I found this statement on the show 'The View' made by Joy Behar very repulsive. After viewing the video (below) I sent ABC this letter letting them know how I feel, please keep everyone informed about homeschooling and our active roll in America by writing ABC and showing them we are not "Demented"! My Letter:

To Whom it May Concern,

While talking to a homeschool mom I was informed that Joy Behar on The View made a remark about homeschooler's being demented. While I am sure through Joy's extensive research of homeschooler's via the public school showed her we are demented, she may want to do some extensive research with homeschooler's themselves. Maybe you could get Tim Tebow of the FL Gators on the show and ask him how demented homeschooling made him

So what did you think of my letter? Please do tell...

Do you hear that...

I'mm Baaack! Movies, Voting, and friends

Hello All,

I am so glad to be back, but I have very little time to write-over look my 'extra' typo's. Oh first did you read my last post about the best movie ever for married Christian's...well go read it silly!

Well on another vote-e-ish note I just don't know what we are going to talk about in this house if it ain't about the next president...is that all ya'll talk about too? I have to admit I love talking about it, I am not jaded at all. Maybe in part because I feel we are doing all of this behind the Lord and not 'jus cuz'.

Here is a neat video on who to vote for:



The next two days we have a lot of fasting and prayer going on, I am very happy to be devoting so much time (and my stomach) to the Lord. I can't wait until we are doing this kind of stuff all the time!-maybe as a perk I will also fit into my skinny girl jeans again!


I have to go, my bestest girlfriend in the whole wide world is coming from Florida to visit and I have so much to do to get ready for her! Yikes!

Somebody say a prayer, k? This video is pretty neat about prayer.





Love,
Faith

Still Fasting but...I have to say this now

Well as much as I want to stay away from this blog and focus on the Lord right now I must tell EVERYONE about this new movie out before it leaves theaters. It's called Fireproof (from the people who made Facing the Giants and Flywheel) it is a GREAT GREAT GREAT movie. I suggest even if you have a great marriage you go see it RIGHT NOW...please=) Oh and take tissue...and some for your husband.

I loved this movie so much I dun went out and bought me the book! I am so glad in "Hollywood"ish world these men are standing up and making these movies!


I pray this movie blesses your marriage like it did my already GREAT marriage!

Fasting...many things to pray and focus on

Hey everyone,

Have you ever met a person(s) that all they do is speak of the Lord...I mean all of the time? Not in a bad way but when you are with them you know there whole life revolves around Him. Or have you ever had someone walk into the room and you know the Holy Spirit is within them and you are totally drawn to them? Is that not amazing? I know a few people like this and I want so much to be like them. They are not a preach it and condemn kind of people...on the contraire they are just like you and I, funny whitey, and full of life, it's just that it's fully God's life. To obtain this I realize I want to not change me so much as much as I want to focus on Him. I think with my eyes always looking towards Him, He will change me!

When I started blogging it was to show Him in my life to my family and friends. But unfortunately I let me get in the way. Well as the MercyMe song goes "so long self" so I am taking a break-or a blog fast. I will be back November 4th-ish...If you need a better understanding go here and here. This is where the Lord is leading me.

Sorry no comments on this post, Prayers are welcome.

Love,
Latte

Schooling,Preparing,Camping and Lagooning?

Okay well I have had an interesting weekend! First though if you want to see how we did with tot school please go here and see.

I will never forget this week! Thursday night my husband informed me of some info we believe the Lord is guiding him to prepare for-Before he told me of this we had some friends who were preparing as well but I was not aware that it was for the same reasons, and I have since talked to other friends who are feeling the same way. We are talking serious stuff people. While part of me is excited to be going on this trip the Lord is calling us to, part of me is -uhh- shakin in my boots. I won't say too much about it, except for us this journey of our lives is now in prepare mode. After hearing the news I was without a doubt completely taken back with nothing going on in my noggin! But because my husband is NEVER wrong....were talking freaky never wrong, I prepare no questions asked! This preparing, it's probably needed for America...so pray and you might want to get prepared.

Well then this weekend we went camping with our 4-H group! It was a blast...and so comical...and a chore! I had no idea going into this what it took to go camping for 1 DAY!!! I am glad we made a list though because many people that came did not have everything they needed. It was a lesson well learned.

When we got there we set up camp, then we chatted and played games for a bit

then it was time for beef camp. The instructor took us around on his 250 acres and showed us the cows and how he took care of them using an electric fence, his swankie water hole...it was this cool plastic tub with a ball in it(to prevent freezing) the cows had to push down to get water out of. Then he showed the boys (and girls) how to build a dead man's corner.

It was so nice to be in the country!

After we got back it was time to build a fire and eat. We had good food...our family brought corn

and smores!~

After that we did some Contra dances with the 4-H girls and boys...I loved the dances but I was such a dork! I could not get those moves for nothin!

But you want to know the best part...the absolute most brilliantly funny part is? Well the kids went to play hide and seek after dark. Okay I did have that thought of "I wonder if this is a good idea" but I shook it off because they were all tweens and teens and they probably would be fine...looking back I probably should have thought it out a little more. So getting back to my story, while attempting to clean our hosts kitchen another 4-H mother came in and said this to me...wait first let me set up the scene for you as it makes it oh so much more funny! Okay imaging another mother your camping with walking in and standing in front of you looking down pretending to be picking at the counter but she is actually trying not to laugh "umm Faith your son Stuntman needs you...uhh right now" small pause "He's not hurt or anything but he needs your help" I say "okay whatz up" to that she says "wwweelll he........fell into the lagoon and I mean all the way" then she showed me an imaginary line of...poo all the way up to her chest. And at this point she is holding back a chuckle...I wish you could have been there! We both say a few things about how it went down, we have a good laugh and then we go look for my son as I know he is probably going to be very upset. As I walk out to find him the smell of lagoon engulfs the air and I start thinking man I am just glad he is okay-all the while chuckling at the fact that this is going to be one fun memory to reflect on! It seems my boy saw some friends on the other side of the lagoon and not knowing it was there proceeded to run after them. Then get this after he gets out and realizes he needs to get cleaned up he goes over and tells his dad. "Hey dad I fell into a puddle with cow stuff in it"-a puddle people, and cow stuff...oh my lands "can you get my clothes out of the tent so I can change?" My husband said it only took a few seconds to realize (or smell) what had actually taken place and ran to find me...poor kid! Bahaahahah oh dear it's still so funny! Stuntman was at first really traumatized by it but then he remember another friend's story of falling in and upon remembering that he lightened up and took the jokes with a grain of salt-which everyone there was really nice and did not pick on him too much (but the adults did have a good laugh in private while reflecting over how it all took place). The only down side to this story is that I don't know if we can salvage anything he was wearing=/ and his shoes were pretty new, ugh.

Well isn't that funny! Have a great week all, I have to go prepare...does anyone have any tips for living solely off the land?
