Finally... Someone Agrees With Me About Favre

Need I say more.....   I LOVE IT!!!!  

"Ponytails Make You Look Harsh !! "

Ponytails make you look harsh.. that is what my Cole's hairstylist told me as she was cutting off my ponytailed hair. It's important to note I do not agree with this statement, but, I am pretty sure she is paid to make such statements.  She also managed to sell me lots of product... how can you say no to a someone who tells you how beautiful, fun and sassy. Many women may relate to times like this at the salon.  

I love my new haircut, I wanted a change, and I certainly got one!!  

I am a Homeowner ?!?!?

My hand is still numb and my eyes are still sore for signing all those papers....  yes, you guessed it... I just got done with the closing for my house.  I guess that makes me a real grow-up - if I forget about my grown-up status I will be reminded each month when my mortgage payment is due.  Thanks to my parents who helped me through the whole process- I promise I won't skip town on Saturday. 

I am happy I was able to find property with both a pool and tennis court-- you always want to be prepared for any guests that might stop by-- I am now ready for Michael Phelps and/or  Roger Federer . 

Just kidding, I purchased my townhouse in Eagan where I currently reside.  

Reason to Laugh on a Monday

Today as I watched Ellen I heard the funniest quote, "I love Jesus- but I drink a little !!!  "   Too funny !!!  

Michael Jackson Pepsi Commercial

If I not mistaken, I think this is the commercial where Michael Jackson got burned ????? Thanks Pam for leading me to the link !!!

Summer Fun

People often ask me, what is the best part about being a teacher?" Sometimes I say, "it's the privileged opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of young children" (true but cheesy response) but other times I say, "June, July, August =) " . It is important to note teachers don't really get three full months of vacation...especially if you teach summer school like I did... Ok, back to summer.. summer, for teachers, is the time to relax and gear up for another school year.
This summer I have done many fun things... a few weeks ago I visited the MN History Center and had a blast!

I got free tickets through Museum Adventure Pass, check out this link, there are a lot of places you can go around the Twin Cities for free!!!

My Field Trip to the MN History Center

ask me why i serve -- Mission to Bloomington

You are wearing a kelly green tee-shirt that says "ask me why i serve" what would you say when people walk by and ask?


This week I am doing Mission to Bloomington-- I am already tired from the trip so I am cutting and pasting the mission trip description from Evergreen's website.=)

"We will meet practical needs of people in Bloomington. We will demonstrate God’s love for people, break down negative stereotypes about church and Christians, and engage people in conversations about God."
Yes, we are doing just that... I am working with the Kids Kamp, which has been a blast!!

Oh, my answer to the question "ask me why i serve" is: I serve because I am thankful for what God has done in my life !

Stay tuned for some more stories about the mission trip , God is faithful!!!

Also you can check out the Servfest website that talks about all the activities we are doing this week:
