posting

sorry i haven't posted lately. i haven't been in much of a mood to blog or do much else for that matter. the enemy is really trying to get me down. it's been over a week that i've been battling some depression. i have moments where i break through, but i get sucked back in. pray for me if you think of it. thanks...

I need to blog...

Crazy, but I seriously have a craving to blog. I've been SO busy this past week, that I have not hand anytime.

Quick Update:
-cameron and i have been giving the relevant offices a "face lift" which has been a lot of really hard work and late nights, but it is really looking nice and the staff seems to really like it. we've still got more to do... :)
-the first hip-hop dance team practice is this saturday. pray for a good turn out. and pray that the dance i've made up is liked by the dancers. of course as long as it brings glory to god that is all that matters. pray for me for saturday if you think of it.
-work has been tough. author royalties go out next week so this is a very busy and stressful time for me. God is absolutely in control. i've been doing my best to get everything in order for this.
-went on a double date with my brother-in-law (chandler) and his new girlfriend (samia). they are very very cute together and she is really sweet. we went to dinner, the "tile party," and saw the penguin movie. (cute movie but i would recommend renting it)
-speaking of the "tile party" it was at cara's house (she and her husband have wonderful new tile in their house). any reason to hang out after hours with our co-workers and friends is always fun. tile looks great!
-oh, my parents had their 30th wedding anniversary on monday! we took them to dinner and had a great time. also camerons parents 34th wedding anniversary is friday! very awesome!


here are some pictures from tonight: (i'll upload more later)

Dancin' Dancin' Dancin'

Our first hip hop class went great. I had 9 people show up. Everyone caught on really well and seemed to have a good time.

I'm so excited to be dancing again. It's been over a year. I'm going to find an adult hip hop class to take also. Every song I hear on the radio I'm dancing to in my head. I watched the top 20 videos on VH1 today and was zoned in on all the dancing. It feels so good to want to dance again!

Now onto choreographing for the first practice for dancing at my church. Fun times.

We're Godparents!

So our good friends, Lloyd and Becky Kinsley, have asked us to be godparents to their son Elijah. And we have very excitedly accepted! It is such an honor to be asked. We've actually only been in the same country with them twice (they live in the UK) and have not even meet Elijah yet (although Becky was pregnant with him when we first meet, just nobody knew yet), but God has blessed us with them as friends. A job at Relevant started our friendship and it is one that will last for a life time. Thank you again, Lloyd and Becky, for asking us to be Elijah's godparents. We are so excited!

The pictures are of our very cute godson!

Vacation Pictures

so we are back from our vacation. it was wonderful to get away for awhile and not have to worry about everyday life. but i am glad to be back home. tonight tia came over and watched the first nfl preseason game (bears beat the dolphins by 3)! we both love football and of course we played a round of dutch blitz (thanks to elizabeth's research on how to play with only two people) during half time. okay. hope all are well. here are a few pictures from our vacation...

Another Update From GA...

-today we went to ikea. was very inspiring for our new house. we decided that we are going to come back up to atlanta closer to when we get our new house and we'll get a few pieces from ikea and the other discount furniture stores in the atlanta area.
-saw dukes of hazzard today. was actually a pretty good movie. i say it's worth going to see. southern accents are a little rough, but has good car racing scenes and some good laughs.
-also went to the lenox mall and had dinner at micks. was a good time hanging out with my hubby.
-tomorrow i plan on choreographing for my first hip hop dance class that will be held this upcoming wednesday. i'm nervous, but excited. yesterday the enemy really tired to attack me. i got pretty down trying to find the right song to dance to for church and i was feeling uninspired. making me think i can't do this. but the enemy is WRONG. of course he would try to stop me when i am making up dances that are to praise the Lord.
-tomorrow i also plan on going through my wedding photos and finishing up my scrapbooking thus far. (i'll let you know if that actually happens)
-cameron and i have on the dvd for newsradio. cameron loves this show. funny stuff.
-oh! yesterday i was walking mckenzie and i saw a few deer (a common thing), but then i noticed something moving that was black and i realized it was a BEAR! so we ran down the driveway into the house and i ran out to back porch and took some pictures. crazy! it was a cub, but still! :)

a few random thoughts...

cookies turned out good. no mixer so had to do everything by hand. cameron says, "very good." (direct quote) :)

my dog is so cute! she is up here with us in GA. she loves walking around the mountains. i love her.

my hubby and i have been watching The Office (bbc series) and Arrested development. our type of humor. good stuff.

walking up and down these mountains is great for my legs and butt and cardio.

i need to spend more time with the Lord.

goals for this week of vacation: work on my scrapbooking, spend time with the Lord, do author royalties (oh fun), pick out wedding pictures so i can actually get our album together finally (it's only been 3 years!), and of course spend time with my wonderful hubby. oh and relax!

JASPER, GA

So, I've been trying to upload pictures, but using dial up is driving me crazy. I may have to upload pictures later.

Anyway, Cameron and I are up in Jasper, GA. It's a small town about an hour north of Atlanta. We got up here late Sunday night. Monday we hung out at the house in the morning and then went into Canton for lunch. Then we drove about an hour to find an Apple store so we could get a power cord. (can't live without the computer) We then saw the movie "Must Love Dogs" which was a pretty good chick flick. On the drive home we went the back roads with the convertible top down. It was so relaxing and beautiful. Today we've hung out at the house. I actually went into town for a few hours. Got some groceries and stopped at the local FRED'S discount store. Got some cheap scrapbooking supplies and some adidas (for $20 bucks). Ah...living in the mountains is good. :)

I love it up here. So peaceful. I'll try to blog more while I'm up here. Hopefully with pictures. :)

I'm gonna go bake some cookies.
