1. Drink plenty of water. <br />
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar. <br />
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.. <br />
4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy <br />
5. Make time to pray. <br />

<b><i><u>Personality</u>: </i></b> <br />
11. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. <br />
12. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. <br />
13. Don't over do. Keep your limits. <br />
14.. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. <br />
15. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip. <br />
16. Dream more while you are awake <br />
17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.. <br />

21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. <br />

Actually nowhere, which is becoming a slight problem as of late. I'll explain.<br /><br />Our original moving date was August 15th. That day has come & gone & as of today we are still residents of Nebraska. I always like to be prepared so for the last few months have been listing things on Craigslist & scheduling cancellation of phone lines & DSL service. You see where I'm going with this, right? We no longer have a home phone, which isn't a problem at all since we use our cell phones most of the time anyway. It's the interruption of internet service that has caused more than it's fair share of problems. It's not really a huge problem, just an inconvience I suppose. You never really think about how much you rely on something until it's gone. So for the next month or so I won't be updating this blog very often, until we get settled in our new home. <br />We hope to be moved by October sometime, I certainly hope so since we have sold our bedroom furniture & I'm getting somewhat tired of living out of a suitcase! :-)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">One of my Photo-of-the-day shots: Brianna's 1st grade cirruculum came in the mail!

I went into it thinking we were going to a few large 'rooms' with stalactites & such. I had no idea that we would be climbing narrow ladders, & going through tunnels so low that even Brianna had to duck! I've never thought of myself as claustrophobic but I was certainly leaning that direction by the time we got out of there! Funny enough, Brianna said the tight tunnels were her favorite part! And yes, Mom, I thought of you while we were in there!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snb7qvhga7I/AAAAAAAACik/QzpTXJerpWM/s1600-h/052.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snb7qvhga7I/AAAAAAAACik/QzpTXJerpWM/s320/052.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365752717788605362" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snb7rn2BjbI/AAAAAAAACi0/VRA32uh0vp8/s1600-h/056.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snb7rn2BjbI/AAAAAAAACi0/VRA32uh0vp8/s320/056.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365752732907048370" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snb7rBFxzfI/AAAAAAAACis/waaac8xgDw0/s1600-h/053.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snb7rBFxzfI/AAAAAAAACis/waaac8xgDw0/s320/053.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365752722504142322" border="0" /></a>We then drove about 45 miles SW to Cripple Creek, CO. We really wanted to take Tyler on the train ride there, although it wasn't as long as we originally thought, he loved it of course. The town was rich in history & back in the day, just plain rich! The mines surrounding the area produced 15-20 million dollars back in the Gold Rush days.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snb4wYdDL_I/AAAAAAAACiU/vQPXxCGl-f8/s1600-h/049.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snb4wYdDL_I/AAAAAAAACiU/vQPXxCGl-f8/s320/049.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365749516140228594" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snb3g9__4LI/AAAAAAAACiE/3vOIKDwW2Fs/s1600-h/046.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snb3g9__4LI/AAAAAAAACiE/3vOIKDwW2Fs/s320/046.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365748151829389490" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snb4wuYMgCI/AAAAAAAACic/JjJJKX_9O4s/s1600-h/037.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snb4wuYMgCI/AAAAAAAACic/JjJJKX_9O4s/s320/037.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365749522025447458" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snb4vyild6I/AAAAAAAACiM/bDXlXWN2slc/s1600-h/043.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snb4vyild6I/AAAAAAAACiM/bDXlXWN2slc/s320/043.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365749505962899362" border="0" /></a>We also made a quick stop at Focus on the Family headquarters.

Even though Tim & I have both been there we decided to drive it again, because, I don't know, isn't that what you're supposed to do in Colorado Springs? :-) The temperature dropped from 70 degrees at the bottom to 40 degrees at the very top of the Peak, and of course I forgot to pack any jackets, so we wrapped the kids up in their blankets & made a very quick tour! A word of advice: The World Famous Doughnuts made at the top? They might be famous but they're not any good, so save your money! The fudge, on the other hand, was totally worth the splurge!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snbt7PMmO-I/AAAAAAAAChU/2izdSvCn6ZU/s1600-h/063.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snbt7PMmO-I/AAAAAAAAChU/2izdSvCn6ZU/s320/063.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365737608005958626" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snbo6HmUP-I/AAAAAAAACgc/4rjkzpG7y54/s1600-h/021.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Snbo6HmUP-I/AAAAAAAACgc/4rjkzpG7y54/s320/021.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365732091228340194" border="0" /></a>This might just be my favorite picture of Brianna from the trip.

To her it means going on a trip & watching movies, a hotel pool, & probably some sort of an amusement park thrown in somewhere, she is a definite thrill-seeker! To Tyler, vacation just mostly means endless Tom & Jerry DVDs & M&Ms for breakfast, He is pretty easy to please!<br /><br />To Tim & I, well I think we mostly just love the time away. Away from work, laundry, cleaning & packing. And lets not forget the cooking! I love my kitchen but a break is so nice.<br /><br />This year we've decided to stick a little closer to home & go to Colorado. The fact that it's so close & we've never been is ironic, especially since we'll be moving very shortly. The time that we have left in NE has found us scrambling to 'catch up' on all the places that we must see before moving!<br /><br />Vacation pictures to come, I took my new camera & went slightly overboard on the picture front!<br /><br /><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713056612281032591.post-9710397613248030262009-07-29T06:00:00.000-07:002009-07-29T06:00:00.386-07:00Wordless Wednesday<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Sm0eJxs70mI/AAAAAAAACf8/TRDu6sRxtrQ/s1600-h/IMG_1601.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362975884577591906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Sm0eJxs70mI/AAAAAAAACf8/TRDu6sRxtrQ/s320/IMG_1601.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713056612281032591.post-41388515970773523002009-07-28T06:00:00.000-07:002009-07-28T06:00:09.149-07:00Everyday Dancing<div align="center"></div><p align="center">We dance a lot in our little yellow house. That is, the kids do! Whether it be to the tunes of Veggie Tales or a book that has a music button on it, they dance. They love music. I have discovered there is no quicker way to settle them down in the car than to turn on some kids music. Ahhh, quietness! :-)</p><p align="center">This particular day Tyler wanted to dance with 'Sissy', who had to be convinced that it was a good idea. After much pleading she conceded to dancing with her 'Prince'. (Who by the way, I'm thinking needs a more 'manly costume")! They have fun and I suppose thats all that matters!<br /></p><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/SmkO6YbMi1I/AAAAAAAACfM/07lmHlwngP4/s1600-h/IMG_1903.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361833227513006930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/SmkO6YbMi1I/AAAAAAAACfM/07lmHlwngP4/s320/IMG_1903.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/SmkO53GzrQI/AAAAAAAACfE/zX5bDzFnKWQ/s1600-h/IMG_1905.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361833218569121026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 294px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/SmkO53GzrQI/AAAAAAAACfE/zX5bDzFnKWQ/s320/IMG_1905.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/SmkO5kjx9KI/AAAAAAAACe8/_OuSY8gTnoE/s1600-h/IMG_1900.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361833213590369442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 158px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/SmkO5kjx9KI/AAAAAAAACe8/_OuSY8gTnoE/s320/IMG_1900.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/SmkO5TCNpCI/AAAAAAAACe0/xnDVSBlZhUY/s1600-h/IMG_1896.JPG"></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361833204821696322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/SmkO5D5Kn0I/AAAAAAAACes/3UJB5IeU1yo/s320/IMG_1893.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713056612281032591.post-6168349214107218662009-07-26T20:09:00.000-07:002009-07-26T20:22:21.399-07:00Sunday Snaps<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Sm0c6TkclMI/AAAAAAAACf0/qd_0rI37IXo/s1600-h/020.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362974519279260866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Sm0c6TkclMI/AAAAAAAACf0/qd_0rI37IXo/s320/020.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Sm0c5nCFP1I/AAAAAAAACfs/-69L5aafjWc/s1600-h/023.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362974507323965266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Sm0c5nCFP1I/AAAAAAAACfs/-69L5aafjWc/s320/023.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Sm0c5ERj9_I/AAAAAAAACfk/Nu7vcuqs3zE/s1600-h/045.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362974497993652210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Sm0c5ERj9_I/AAAAAAAACfk/Nu7vcuqs3zE/s320/045.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Sm0c47jPbbI/AAAAAAAACfc/ipXaXURRVVI/s1600-h/057.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362974495651884466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Sm0c47jPbbI/AAAAAAAACfc/ipXaXURRVVI/s320/057.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Sm0c4TmOZGI/AAAAAAAACfU/lYuGjHArZ9g/s1600-h/073.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362974484926981218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Sm0c4TmOZGI/AAAAAAAACfU/lYuGjHArZ9g/s320/073.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713056612281032591.post-7923882342640224622009-07-19T17:54:00.000-07:002009-07-19T18:33:22.006-07:00Catching up<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/SmPHersKLyI/AAAAAAAACd8/9f8tpdaUJAg/s1600-h/063.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360347311438966562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/SmPHersKLyI/AAAAAAAACd8/9f8tpdaUJAg/s320/063.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Summertime activites, moving, & everyday life has somehow managed to make it very difficult to keep up with this blog!

I imagine this market is not making it easy for anyone these days, certainly not us. We do have somone who wants to rent, with the possibility of buying later. We will probably go ahead with this option instead of having the house stand empty.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>* Summer is flying by! I cannot believe it is basically the end of July already, time to think about starting school again. We are going to be home-schooling this year again, as we just won't be moved in time for Brianna to start school at the Christian Academy in town. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>* I have found out that a 2 1/2 yr. old child CAN live on basically bread alone! With a few extra milk products thrown in. Such as yogurt, string cheese, and the occasionally poptart!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>* Last night ended our little hometown County Fair. We enjoyed it immensensly this year, especially knowing that this was our last year. The kids are the perfect age to enjoy all the rides and seeing all the animals. And of course, lets not forget the food! I do believe that we all need to go on a diet of carrotsticks and grilled chicken after all the nachos and funnel cakes that we've consumed!<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713056612281032591.post-29034265127447378672009-07-08T09:32:00.000-07:002009-07-08T09:39:38.684-07:00Wordless Wednesday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/SlTLus6cQcI/AAAAAAAACd0/ZBpzzTfYZqw/s1600-h/Picture+1246.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/SlTLus6cQcI/AAAAAAAACd0/ZBpzzTfYZqw/s400/Picture+1246.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356129860041064898" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713056612281032591.post-52849400687087676202009-07-04T14:54:00.001-07:002009-07-04T15:03:50.918-07:00Happy 4th of July!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Sk_P13em5wI/AAAAAAAACds/LEDAmYOGths/s1600-h/DSC03647.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 292px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZlMI75NOYXU/Sk_P13em5wI/AAAAAAAACds/LEDAmYOGths/s400/DSC03647.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354727006299154178" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">(We have had a very nice 4th of July - contrary to what this photo depicts!
