Today my husband turns 24! *throws confetti*

I was intending on buying him a grill for his birthday but instead, I got him the Windows XP operating system!
He loves it and is glad to no longer be living in the stone age of Windows 2000. LOL

I didn’t make him a cake for his birthday because he has a Strawberry Rhubarb pie leftover from his Easter/birthday thing at his parents on Sunday. lso, my husband would prefer pie to cake any day… that’s not how I am! As long as the cake isn’t murdered by too sweet frosting or overcooked, cake is my all time favorite. I personally love my Mom’s Mississippi Mud Cake and Devil’s Food… both of those cakes are to die for! * drools*

I’ve had to slow down on moving/packing a bit…. it’s really been wearing me out… or is it because I am now 31 weeks preggy and running thin on energy, air, and space? lol

Also, I drew a cute little Zebra today!

Are you looking for work boots that are functional, comfortable, and not to mention stylish? I mean, who wants to be working hard and having to worry about dropping something really heavy on their feet?

Work Boots USA just might be the site you’re looking for! On their website, they offer numerous styles, brands and varieties of different types of boots from Safety toe boots to Military/Uniform boots. I was quiet impressed to find that the prices are quite affordable as they are dollars lower than a regular retail store would sell them for! If you have questions about the boots you are looking for, there’s a live help chat featured on their site!

Be sure to check them out today!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter, whether spending it with family or friends.
Let us not forget the price Christ made for us so long ago on that old rugged cross.
I’ll be attending church today with my husband and sister-in law and then
heading over to my in-laws to have a nice Easter lunch/dinner.
I hopefully will get lots of pictures taken today :) 

I being from the south have visited and vacationed in Atlanta quite a few times but I guess the best thing to write about is about the time when I met my husband there. I had met my husband to be, online through a friend’s message board not knowing that our friendship would lead to more. He was invited by my family to visit me all the way from Oregon to Georgia. Our story is pretty crazy, if you think about it considering we had only known each other for 5 months before the visit was arranged.

He flew from PDX to ATL to meet me and stay for two weeks. One of our key vacation spots to visit was Six Flags over Georgia! He wasn’t quite used to how we ate such big meals or the heat mixed humidity that came with our southern weather and he got pretty sick after the first few roller coasters! I felt completely horrible but there was nothing I could have done really to ready him for that. Although he threw up in front of me on our first date, he kept a good attitude and quite enjoyed his visit. I live in Oregon and  I intend to visit my family in Georgia every year if not every other and I hope to be able to visit Atlanta to be able to see new Aquarium!

I will probably use Trusted Tours & Attractions for some great family vacation ideas, since we have a little one on the way in May and Six Flags just doesn’t’ seem like something she’s quite ready for yet. I really wish I had planned ahead during the time my husband to be visited!

Trusted Tours and Attractions has lots of great ideas and vacationing spots for you to choose from whether it’s visiting the San Diego zoo or if scuba diving is you thing there’s Key West Snorkeling.

While at the site, you can even sign up for a newsletter and a chance to win an Apple iPod!(Offer ends Monday, March 31st, 2008).

30 Week Doctor appointment update on Melody’s blog. Be sure to check it out if you want to know how Mommy and Baby are progressing! Happy Good Friday! Let us not forget the price our Saviour made for us.

I just heard this song by Chris Rice today and it’s one of my new favorite songs :)  Chris is one of my all time favorite Christian artist with his clean, creative, and inspirational lyrics to the Lord it’s pretty hard not to fall in love with his music.  I was blessed with the opportunity to attend a fund raiser for the homeless of Portland last year where he was preforming on the the roof of a hotel!

What A Heart Is Beating For (Lyrics)

By Chris Rice

Leave it alone, don’t analyze
‘Cause love can be your lullaby
But love can be your hurricane too
And love can take your breath away
But love can leave you lonely and blue
Oh, what’s a heart to do?
Oh, what’s a heart to do?

Why be afraid
No reason to hide
Take the chance
Put it all on the line
Draw in a deep breath and throw open the door
‘Cause that’s what a heart is beating for
Yeah, that’s what a heart is beating for
Beating for, beating for

Brace yourselves, take a good look around
We’ve all been thinking upside-down
That love’s about what life can bring our way
Oh but love isn’t love unless someone pays
And so with love, the only way to gain
Is give it all away
Is give it all away!

Why be afraid
No reason to hide
Take the chance
Put it all on the line
Draw in a deep breath and throw open the door
‘Cause that’s what a heart is beating for
Yeah, that’s what a heart is beating for
Beating for, beating for
