Prayers For Sterling

Prayer warriors out there please lift up five year old Sterling Davis!

I noticed a lot of my friends FB statuses today mentioned Sterling and upon reading about his situation, I soon found out, I know his Dad, Roger!

I met Roger YEARS ago when I went to Crosspoint (a Christian sports camp). Roger was one of the staff members, Roger then was involved in Studentlife (another Christian camp) that I went to after my Crosspoint years were over. I haven't kept in touch with him so I had no idea I KNEW someone in this family until I saw a picture of Rodger just a few minutes ago. It takes things to a new level when you know the people involved.

You can read about and keep up with the latest updates on their website HERE.


Thanks so much for praying!

In Case You Didn't Know....

Off to First Grade!

Alexis begins FIRST GRADE tomorrow! My goodness, my little Ladybug is growing so fast! Mom's aren't the only ones that say that, Aunt's do too! :) Please keep her in your prayers throughout the day! Thanks!

I'm LOVING this commercial...I believe Lexi's "angel" will be looking out for her as well!

If Only I Could!

I went to a wedding shower tonight for a very dear friend of mine. As soon as I walked in the door, this dear friend's sister rushes up to me and says, "Grey's Anatomy's publicity people should really hire you! Everything you say about it on Facebook has me watching again!"

The comment made my night, and if it's true, then I've done what I set out to do!

If only she knew just how badly I wish I COULD do that and WOULD if it were possible! I've always said I wanted a job in the entertainment industry. To get paid to talk about and promote the shows I love to watch is really what I would love to do! I envy the people that DO get to do that. Christi Knight and Natalie Abrams are totally my inspirations....They rock at what they do, and I want to be just as great as they are!

No Dreaming Outloud

I wish my dream were one I could talk freely about without feeling embarrassed or like I was being judged.

That's all. Carry on. :)

Why I Didn't Attend My H.S. Reunion

My ten year high school reunion was this weekend, but I didn't attend. Here's why:

* Everyone from high school that I WANT to keep in contact with, I do. Either through Facebook or e-mail.

* I knew I'd get the question that I HATE: "What have you been doing the last ten years?" and the answer is not very exciting.

* I spent seven of the last ten in college, I have pretty much nothing to show for the time since high school except a college degree and Alexis and Austin. I haven't gotten married (or had any romantic relationship for that matter) no kids, no paying job, nothing. A LOT has happened in my life since H.S. and I can definitely say I'm NOT the same person, but as I said, nothing to show for any of that.

* None of my dreams I had then have come to pass and none of the dreams I have NOW are coming true yet.

In short, it just wasn't good for my self esteem to attend. Perhaps when we have our 20th reunion.....God only knows.

Big Screen Baby!

Remember in the post below how I said I had a September 1st goal I wanted to reach? Well, as of today, August 11th, that goal has been made!

I bought my flat screen on August 2nd. We got home, plugged everything in and my cable box went kaput leaving me only able to watch DVD's until the cable people could come out yesterday and hook up my new HD cable box (which ALMOST didn't happen, but that's a story I'd rather NOT get into right now). Anyhow, everything is now all hooked up and working GREAT!

My parents took care of the cable bill and installation fees as an early birthday present! I'm now the only one in the house with a flat screen AND HD and let me tell ya...There's a HUGE difference!

Last night Mom came in my room and we watched our usual (America's Got Talent) on my T.V. Mom was VERY impressed and we've decided that we'll be watching Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice in my room when it returns. This will allow Dad (who, while he has nothing but good things to say about Patrick Dempsey, is not a GA or PrP fan) to watch the television in the living room. All other shows though will be kept on the living room DVR since we all like those! And this Fall is going to be a BUSY T.V. season for me it looks like. That schedule coming in a later entry.
