Purpose of Labor day...

  • Is Labor day meant to be spent laboring over a project or is it a day to be lazy and enjoy the last holiday of summer?

better late then never…pictures from Irene..mainly puddle pictures of Dayzee

Here are the pictures I took Sunday, August 28, 2011..a snapshot of the impact of Hurricane Irene on our backyard.  Church was canceled Sunday due to a lack of power. So we played out in the rain puddle in the backyard with Dayzee..and then we lost power also.  I promised my brother that  I would post these as soon as we got power restored..but I’m a few days late. (Sorry Sean).  So i’m taking a little break to upload them right now…as Dayzee sleeps beside me. …
and a random side note..i’m really glad my camera is waterproof.
.
also, even though we did have to go without power for almost 36hours, that is small in comparison to what other people suffered because of this storm. our house didn’t flood. no one in my family was injured from it. we lost power which at the time was a major “problem” to us because of the food in the freezer and other minor issues that come from no power.  but the loss of power was a “major” minor problem, for that i am grateful.  Now I am so thankful that when i turn on the light switch the room lights up.
.
I am also thankful for the rainbows that we saw in the backyard late Sunday afternoon.  God’s visible promise never to flood the earth again. He is faithful.
.
have to go for now, but hope you enjoyed these pictures

a letter to @LaBar89

Dear Sean,

 i have a card on its way to you but you wont have it on your birthday, so I had this crazy idea to write this little note to you and hope that you have a chance to read it soon. while i’m typing this dayzee is taking up 2/3 of my bed and is sleeping.  here is a dayzee update for you:
i just had her outside for a good 45minutes. let me tell you, she smelled something down by one of the ponds..so she went sniffing and sniffing..which got her leash all tangled. so i finally got tired of untangling the leash and just let her sniff.  i figured mom was out shopping so all would be good. Dayzee goes back near the ponds edge and sniffs..I just watch from the path that goes inbetween the two ponds..and while she is sniffing out pops a little bunny. the bunny goes to the other pond side and hides, or so i thought. dayzee then appears and i point to the other side of the path. she sniffs and finally goes in pursuit of the rabbit. i then see that rabbit hopping away toward grandpa’s big burn pile. Dayzee soon realizes that the rabbit has gone that way also and runs toward the rabbits trail.  to make a long story short, dayzee was sniffing and sniffing..and then i put her leash back on her. 10 seconds after i leashed her, out comes the bunny…dayzee was maybe 2 feet away from this little thing..so its a very good thing that i had the leash on her..and then once again we go chasing the rabbit.
.
in other news, I just want you to know that i’m praying for you. its a big adjustment for you, from tiffin to DC, but you can do this. I’m also praying that you get that republican internship  that mom told me about.  Just think, God will use this time in DC to prepare you for down the road. Its not a mistake that you are in DC at this time. Continue to rely on God for strength and He will help you day by day with this semester in DC.  I love you and am so proud of you. I think its a great opportunity that you have to spend a semester in the nation’s capital.  If you ever need to talk or vent I’m here for you.
.
I hope you have a wonderful birthday.  I LOVE YOU.

a few pics from my new camera

Last weekend I got a new camera. It is awesome because it is water proof.
here are a few memories that I’ve captured with it so far..
Also, i do apologize for slacking on blogging. life just has been busy.
.
3 months today is race day for me. so i’ve been balancing work, sleep, and working out in the mornings. at night, sometimes i dont even get on the computer.
.
and that green pool picture…that has been the status of the pool this summer. when we opened it on memorial day, i had high hopes of doing a lot of swimming, but the opposite has proven true. its been a little swim summer so far.
.
i’m looking forward to going camping in early August with my family. that will be fun, especially since Dayzee is coming along with us. Look out fellow campers!
