Looking for a good Christmas album?

I am crazy about the Christmas album titled Snow by GoFish.  Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs on the CD.

About the Cross

Verse 1:

It's not just about the manger
Where the baby lay
It's not all about the angels
Who sang for him that day

It's not just about the shepherds
Or the bright and shining star
It's not all about the wisemen
Who travelled from afar

Chorus:
It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again

It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday

It's about the cross
It's about the cross

Verse 2:

It's not just about the presents
Underneath the tree
It's not all about the feeling
That the season brings to me

It's not just about coming home
To be with those you love
It's not all about the beauty
In the snow I'm dreaming of

Repeat Chorus

The beginning of the story is wonderful and great
But it's the ending that can save you and that's why we celebrate

It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again

It's about God's love
Nailed to a tree
It's about every drop of blood that flowed from Him when it should have been me

It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday
So that you and I could have real life someday

It's about the cross
It's about the cross

AMEN!!!

I'm 30!!

 I turned 30 years old on April 12th, 2009 (Easter).  I celebrated by doing what I love the most; feeding lots of people at my house and going on a date with my husband!  Here are some pictures.

I can't believe it!!!

Both of the boys fell asleep in the car today so I left them in the garage to nap.  I laid down on my bed to take advantage of this treat.  A few minutes later Judah comes in and gets in bed with me...AND goes back to sleep!  Asher starts fussing, so I quietly roll out of bed and go get him.  He gets a drink, goes to the bathroom, crawls into his bed....AND goes back to sleep!!!!  This is unbelievable, but true!!!!

Sometimes country music says it just right...

I listened to some old music the other day, and this one made me cry (a lot).  I'm so glad God gave me two boys, even though the constant fighting wears me out. 

Brotherly Love ~ Keith Whitley and Earl Thomas Conley

We shared the same last name and the same color eyes
But we fought like tigers over that old red bike
I'm battin' first and you can't use my glove
It wouldn't take long 'til push came to shove
But, we looked out for each other with Brotherly Love

You hated girls 'til I had my first date
I brought her home from the movies; you stayed up late
Three on the couch watchin' T.V.
I was smilin' at her while you were laughin' at me
But, I wouldn't trade it for nothin', Brotherly Love

CHORUS

There's a bond that brothers know
And it gets stronger as they grow
A love that time and miles can't come between
We disagreed but in the end
There will never be two closer friends

And Brotherly Love is something we all need.

They share the same last name and the same color eyes
But they fight like tigers over one ol' red bike
And lookin' at them reminds me of us
They're gonna fight and they're gonna fuss
But, they got something special, it's Brotherly Love

The move

Its 4 am.  I've been tossing in bed since 2, so since I have time I thought I'd update my blog.

We moved from Texas to Springdale, Arkansas last weekend.  Here's a quick rundown.  On Friday, March 13th my parents drove down from Oklahoma with an (borrowed) enclosed trailer to help us move.  While passing through Sherman (about one hour from our home) someone "bumped" into the trailer and it came off the ball.  The safety chains were on and did their job, but my parents went for a wild ride.  They said at one point the truck was on two wheels.  They feared for their lives.  Praise God, no one was hurt.  There was damage done to the truck and trailer and the nerves of my family.  But we still loaded our rented moving truck and borrowed trailer Saturday morning and were on the road by mid-afternoon.  My mom drove our van (with the boys and my niece) so that gave me six hours on the road in a vehicle all by myself!!  It was great. 

My parents went home early Sunday morning, and the rest of the day would not have been fabulous without my two best girl friends and their hubbies!  Becca took the boys to church while Sam helped us unload.   Baked two spinach quiches for our lunch, stopped by Taco Bell to feed the kids and drove around until they fell asleep in the van!  Amy and JR, who live in Oklahoma, rented a hotel room in Fayetteville so they'd be here to help us unload bright and early.  Aren't my friends swell?  Levi's parents were here too, they are always a blessing and big help!  We had the truck unloaded by lunch AND had a great time.  Go figure!  We are now almost to the point where I can start decorating the house.  I'll post pictures soon.

In the meantime, I have got to find a doctor!  For all of you worrywarts, I promise to start in just a few hours...when the rest of the world is awake.
