The good, the bad, and the funny...not ugly :)

I am writing this down, so I don't forget...I don't want to miss something I might "appreciate" later....

Things that have been hard for me lately:

*when you think you have a really good idea and your spouse doesn't
*when people think you don't think about anything and just fly into something with your eyes closed.
*not always being able to trust people
*church stuff.

*dumb, ignorant, unthoughtful mean people

*trying not to laugh at school pictures

*unclear communication
*being called a "scott follower"

*having to explain this home church thing to a million people without feeling like I have to be defensive...

*thinking about not being at the naz and seeing people who I love and care about every sunday...is hard for me sometimes...

*people who I think don't always "really" understand me

Things to smile about and maybe even lol about...

*"applejuice"...that was a good one Erica...it made me laugh

*school pictures :)...and yes that made me laugh too

*Choc. chip cookies

*beautiful purple flowers

*stetler baby # 3

*a washer and dryer at my house, and my school, so that I can wash one of my dirtiest kids cloths, so she feels clean and good about herself...wow

*a great email that made me laugh so hard, I had to read it two or three times so I could laugh really hard again and again.

*yes, David Crowder is a hottie...and I want to play with his fu man Chou...

*our neighbors are so awesome...

*thinking of doing this house church thing "along side" of s and k and lots of other folks that share the same vision...cool

*intense phone calls that turn out good
