My finds

OK... Since we got rid of our TV, our home is a little quieter around the house. Which means, no more TV watching. WOOHOO!!!! I've been looking forward to this day for quite sometime. What do we do now??? Since we both have our own computers we watch our shows for FREE on the internet. Which is nice, I sit on one end and E on the other, and we hold hands (sometimes) watching our OWN shows!!! no more, who gets to watch which show which means no one wins OR loses. It really is an awesome feeling. So the only time the TV is on is when we watch a movie.

I also have been devoting myself to prayer while the kids take naps, or in the evenings. I have found a few blogs, twitters, Caringbridge websites of these little kids *living*. I like to say living, because that is what they (we) are doing. Even though, they are fighting to live. At first I found myself crying while reading an update. I still cry, because its just not right. (As my Mom use to say, *what's not right is not fair. What is fair is not right.*). But these stories of the families have just touched my heart like no other. I pray, I talk to God all day long. But now, I feel like I more spacifics to pray about; like Layla Grace who lost her battle to Stage 4 Neuroblastoma last week at the age of 2, Pray4Kate who has brain tumors at the age of 5 (she lives here in AZ), Ellie Potvin has stage 4 (Rhabdomyosarcoma) cancer. then just recently Ava who is also battling Neuroblastoma. I know there are more children out their fighting, trying to live and it breaks my heart for them, for their families. And I know its not all easy, its hard, but to see their Moms and Dads lift His name on high, to see them cry out to Him, to see their Faith grow, is unreal. So I devote myself to prayer for these families and the other families that I don't know about. for we don't know what will happen tomorrow, so you better LIVE today. If you click on their names it will send you to their information. All they ask is for you to pray for them.

When I am not reading about those girls, you will find me here, here and here. Last night I was on their blog for like an hour to two hours. WAY COOL!! I am looking through my house to see what I can repaint, refurbish, basically redo. I've got my list, now I just need to see what I can redo them at. Heres my list: Ellies furniture (which was my Grandma Rhineheimers furniture), 2 chairs that were my Grandma Kellars, my Great Grandmas round end table, 3 coffee tables & a couch/wall table, 5 candle sticks, a HUGE pic. frame, 2 lamps, a rocking chair, and MAYBE our kitchen table which was E's Grandmas. I know I know, I WILL have my work cut out for me. BUT I AM SOOOO LOOKING FORWARD to doing these things. I will post before, during and after pictures of my things.

There are a few other blogs, boutiques, website that I love looking at and getting ideas... Now, I just need a home to do all the things I want to do... maybe my Grandma will let me remodel her home!?!? :)
