"If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,

           I can only conclude that I was not made for here..."

~Brooke Fraser "C.S. Lewis Song"
 
 
I took this from another blog called The Flourishing Mother.  This speaks volumes to me as I meditate on it this Sunday, our Lord's day.
Blessings to you all...

After 2.5 hours at the concert



Of Singing, Screaming, Jumping..and more screaming...
Here we are giddy with excitment, but boy did our feet hurt!

Girls night...



A little dinner Uptown...




A little of Jon...



A little more of Jon...


Oh...the band was good too...

It was all good...thanks to my husband who got us tickets.
These guys, while I've loved them since I was 11, are just second fiddle to #1 Jersey guy, Darryl...

House debacle

House is coming along....
Darryl and I have gone to battle several times in the last 3 weeks and frankly I'm exhausted...
The fireplace is being ripped out and redone because it wasn't what we asked for..
The island is being rebuilt because it looks like garbage and the countertops won't fit...
We had to pick out different wood floors because the floors we ordered are on backorder...forever..
But...It's absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to live there...

Guess where I'm going tomorrow?

Hint #1

It's a concert

Hint #2

I have been a fan since I was 11 years old

Hint #3

I got to go on stage with them once and
I got to meet the lead singer and take a picture with him once

Hint #4

I'll be Livin' on a Prayer

(yes, I know I'm bragging...)

A quick update...

Some more housing issues have hopefully been resolved this week, not before making my face breakout from all the stress...
The boys played two games of baseball today.  First game they won, second they lost which is the first this season.  They played them back to back and I really think they were really tired the second one.  There was alot of fielding errors but they were both good games and they had fun which is the most important thing...
We bought all of our bee supplies today and will be getting bees early next week.  We are excited about that!
I'm utterly exhausted from this week but feel blessed.  Really, my problems aren't problems they are blessings...I just need some rest.  I was so cranky today I told Darryl  I just needed some ice cream and a muzzle for my mouth...  Darryl, the wonderful husband he is, told me to get comfy when we got home, he made dinner tonight, cleaned up the entire dinner himself and went to the store and bought me ice cream...he is so good to me I don't deserve him sometimes....

A baseball outing...


Yesterday we spent the morning at an Intimidators game.  It was F.R.E.E.Z.I.N.G.....but fun!
The boys hoped to catch a ball but mostly they loved to compare the players hitting stances to their own.  We had a great time and I was ever so grateful to go with the boys for a change of pace to our homeschooling day.  I was ever so grateful for the heat when we got back into the car as well!
No worries though..in typical Carolina spring fashion...it's 75 today so the heat has been turned off and the windows open!
