12 years ago, I was a 17 year old girl having my first baby.
12 years ago I met the little guy who would forever change my life.
12 years ago I fell head over hills in love.
Happy Birthday Christian I love growing up with you, you teach me new things everyday. I love you.
Christian.
He was so sweet! He has spent a few weeks texting a particular girl and then they ate lunch together and then last Friday they had made arrangements to meet in front of the school at which time he asked her the bug question.
If she would be his date for the Halloween dance.
She said YES! (of course because he's adorable!)
Today Christian and Madyson headed back to school. Christian is entering the 7th grade and is really looking forward to the school year.
His friends gathered at the corner of our street this morning with their bikes and then off they went.
The below is an email I got from a friend this morning because it reminded her of a conversation we had on Saturday night. I love it and thought I would share:
Subject: GOD'S TOO BUSY
If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!!!!!!! A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU. One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes." The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm still waiting."
It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned, and sat there looking on in silence.
The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, "What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"
The Marine calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me."
I know there's no crying in baseball. But is there mace in boy-scouts?
I asked Ryan this question after he told me what Christians boyscout outing is for next weekend and he fell over in hysteria and told me that I was "one paranoid mama". Hum.
Christian's boyscout troop is having a "lock in" which means their being "locked in" at the church for 2 days. They will make their own food in a bag. Yum. Now this is not the part that bothers me. It's the fact that they will depart from the church late at night to go to a local park where they will be turned loose with compasses and flashlights and must complete a "course" and find their way back to the scoutmaster.
Christian LOVED his trip North to my sisters house. He came home last night and was so animated talking about is venture. Heres some highlights in HIS WORDS...
"Uncle Norm was on his best behavior, because Aunt Denice told him to be."
"I ate raccoon, bear stew and wild pig and they were all sooooo good! The food was my favorite part."
"Michaels girlfriend is HOT."
"Aunt Denice cut and died her hair and she's really skinny!" (Ok, I'll add my own comment to that one...Bitch) :-) (I feel better already, sorry sis, But I don't like being the heavier sister! My new years resolution is to be skinner then you!)
"Michael and Taylor are soooo cool!"
"Mom, I drank 5, count it, 5 Dr. Peppers." (yeah, we don't do caffeine here so that was a big deal)
"I got to feed the deer celery and oranges of the back porch."
"Tay and I played a rated M game." (again, a big deal because we only let him play rated E)
and to sum up how much he loved it, he asked if he can go ahead of us by a few days in June for Michaels graduation.
***question is will Aunt Heidi (a.k.a. the airport shuttle) be available?
Christian left today on his FIRST solo trip.
He flew North to my sisters house for a 4 day vacation with his cousins.
Scary part for me? Nope, not the fact that my 11 year old went on a plane by himself, or even that he'll be gone for 4 looong days. It's the fact that my nephews are 15 and 18 and I have a feeling Christian will return with way more knowledge about life then he had when he left. Oh and I'm sure his uncle Norm will also help in that department :)
Neecie, take good care of my baby. Miss you Christian.
Today is Christian's 11th Birthday and he's still my baby. Now I'm not saying that he would admit that, but in my book he is. ...
Love you Christain!!
Christian had his 11th b-day party on Saturday night. We had a full blown Marsh-mellow War in the backyard. I'll just tell the tale in photos. Some key points are War, glow in the dark marsh-mellows, campfire, ghost stories and food.
