a short one for once

-I figured I should jump on the bandwagon w/ everyone doing bullet point posts lately--I know, I know, my blog is always long and wordy but maybe if I update short posts more often I can cut back on that

-I joined the MAGIC Foundation (Major Aspects of Growth In Children) and in becoming a member they sent me this great comprehensive guidebook about RSS/SGA. I've been reading it everyday bit by bit (its LONG and a lot of medical jargon) It has been great! I actually understand the genetics (shock!) and it makes me appreciative that I had to take statistics in college and learn how to read medical & academic journals--who-da known that would come in handy?? (and thanks again to my sister Devon who taught me & my classmates college statistics over speakerphone since our prof was an idiot)

-We leave for Lake Barkley on Wed--and I am such a buzz kill already, I know it will be fun but I'm dreading it simply because I dont want to pack. Vacations lose alot of their fun factor when you have to pack for 3 people, calculate amount of frozen breastmilk to bring and factor in all possibilities so you dont run out, etc. That and the fact that I will have to unpack our suitcases from Cleveland to re-pack them for Barkley...I know, thats sad right?

- I've been thinking alot about my marriage lately and I just love Donnie and am so thankful that I am in a Christian marriage above anything else--I'm going to this seminar at my church about this book "The God Empowered Wife" I read it not long after I got married but I wanted to go back and re-read before the seminar...I just love this: "Relationships are God's vice grips. They squeeze you until your sins ooze out--sins you wouldnt have had to face otherwise, but that enslave you and separate you from God" Wow! doesnt that make marriage sound so fun!? haha actually its great and so true...I could go on and on about this book but I'll save that for a long post after the seminar

-Man, I suck, even my bullet points are long :-/

  1. You will have a blast at lake barkley! We went to KY lake over the 4th of July weekend and it was awesome. Best water we have been on yet. Have fun and I know the packing is not fun and either is the laundry but I figure nothing fun comes easy:-) Gina
