Who writes this stuff?

My photo
I try to keep my priorities in order: Jesus, my Andy, our children, everything else. I homeschool our boys, love to read almost all written words and have been challenged by the military life for 18 years. Right now my faulty human body is demanding a lot of attention. One day at a time, learning as much as possible every day and remembering to look for JOY when other things threaten to overwhelm.

My Blog Title Verse

"For the Lord gives wisdom. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding." Proverbs 2:6 NKJV
The Message translation puts it this way "God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding."

When did you go on a cruise? also... you have served at a soup kitchen....many times, at Elizabeth Inn and in Colorado on Thanksgiving day.
Are you sure you never skinny dipped? I bet you just didn't wnat me to find out. MOM

Okay, a couple of comments here.
There were only 99 before I added mine - I just couldn't resist making it 100!
Emilee will have to back me up on the cruise thing, but when we lived in Houston, we babysat for a wedding, which was on an evening cruise. It was just for the evening, but it was a cruise, so I think that counts!
I remember the soup kitchen... I guess I just forgot to bold that one.
Skinny dipping is still up for discussion. Andy insists that it is a yes... but I have no memory of it, so I say he must have dreamed it!
Also, I really really wanted to highlight the "speeding motorcycle" one, since I have been in a VERY speeding Corvette with Kevin. That is, I think, a similar feeling!

What is it with them having these memories with us that we don't remember? haha. Corey told me 100% there was no way that it was not me that went to see the lights of life with him. IT WAS NOT ME! ha!!!
