One way I am weird....

This has come up a lot lately so I think it deserves a post, we all are weird in our ways, here's one of mine. Breakfast. I understand that most of human kind starts their day with a meal. This has always perplexed me. I have never woke up hungry. I don't even feel like eating till about 11:00 or 12:00 most days. I prefer to eat lunch and dinner only. I've always been that way. Here's the weird-er part to this quirk. I don't like breakfast foods for other meals and I don't even really like breakfast food for breakfast but when I have to eat breakfast I prefer pizza, a sandwhich or other non-breakfast food items. I have grown fond of a good Kolachie or breakfast casserole, occasionally eggs with cheese on top, those are the few breakfast items that make the cut. So there you have it one of my weird ways. What ways are you weird?

Week Wrap up...

This week was a heavy one at work but also will be one of the most memorable ones, you can't remember every session and every encounter but there are those ones that are profound where your life intersects with others in deeply meaningful way and I know God's hand had to be in it and I set back it makes me wonder who is helping who more. I was reminded this week in the most terrible pain and suffering where you come face to face with the worst of people you can also find the best of people and walking beside them through some of their most painful times is privilege that reaps many rewards. These are the encounters to hold on to. I am reminded of the verse hate what is evil cling to what is good.

Birthdays

Allie and myself celebrated birthdays in the last few weeks so here's the rundown of birthday activities.

For Allie's birthday we celebrate at the tea room. Here's Allie's awesome princess cake that my friend Katie made, Allie loved it!:




I enjoyed several fun birthday celebrations, I had a girls night on my birthday where we ate at Bravo and then we went to see the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic. I also had a birthday lunch with Jen, Chloe and Allie who took my to hideaway pizza (Yum!) and we got a giant warm cookie with ice cream on it. To wrap up the birthday weekend I enjoyed dinner with Friends at Carino's:

This is Ryan and I's 10th Valentine's day together!!

work...

I haven't posted in awhile and haven't been good at taking my camera along places, so you get a pondering post from me today. Today I was thinking about the concept of work and I mean work in broad sense, lots of worth while things take work. Staying on track spirtually takes work, Relationships take work, getting fit takes work, being home-maker takes work, being good at what you do takes work. If you think something doesn't take work you may want to wonder to yourself am I maintaining it properly? When it feels like to many things take work I am remembering work is something God says is good and to work at whatever you do with all your heart as though working for the Lord.

Chloe's Coach's Calculation Celebration!

I told my neice Chloe I would give her a shout out on my blog. She passed her 1-4 multiplication table Quiz that she has been working on at school and last Friday was the day! She was so excited so she picked coach's to have ribs and fries to celebrate. Way to go Chloe!!

This French Fry arrangement was her idea to commemorate the occasion:

Snow Days...

This week we had ice and snow and my work was closed for two days. It was great to get caught up on all my paperwork and house work. A.M. and I went Wednesday to a new coffee and cupcake place to hang out in a cozy place and work on paperwork:


Here's Rory checking the snow out:
