5 Things

-
1. This cheesecake is in the oven for Kent's birthday tomorrow and I'm hopin' real hard that it comes out like BAM! CARLOS BAKERY WORTHY

2. I really would like to blog again, but when you're in the thick of things (parenthood/church planting/adulting), there's a lot to say and none of it quite makes sense out loud so it's easier to stare at your computer screen and watch people I don't know live their life through recipes, make up suggestions and first-days-of-school pictures

3. I also "window shop" on Amazon at night. NO SHAME

side note: If I blog about our life, my sister will read about us & visit even less often than she does now (which is like, never. hint, hint, anna!!)

 4. I'm going eight hours away by myself to a "thing" in October. More details to come, but it feels so odd and I'm pretty sure the last time I went alone somewhere was to John Fadden's birthday party when I was five and my five year old self is saying, "Remember, you are an introvert that gets nervous about new, unknown things. Why did you willingly sign us up for this?"

5. When I'm not window shopping on Amazon, I'm slowly plodding through The Guernsey Literary and Potato Pie Society. Am I having a hard time because it's in letter format? Or because I don't read enough? Or read only at night? My final destination is watching the movie with my mom so onward ho!!

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
