When I look back on the last two years.. I think we are the same.
You like potato and I like potahto,
You like tomato and I like tomahto,
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto!
~G always backs into his parking spot, ready to go, but I always pull in.
~He likes eclair pudding (this year’s birthday cake) but the thought of soggy graham crackers with pudding and icing makes me gag.
~I may like to exercise, well maybe sometimes, but not other times, but G likes it even less. So I signed us both up for a 5k with
obstacles for his birthday. Cracks me up. lol
~One may have less hair, or the another more gray but both definitely more wrinkles. This morning I went to pluck a gray hair only
to discover it was just toothpaste covered. Weird. And we ran out of toothpaste this week. What kind of wife does that? I'm thankful
for those minis from the dentist. I stocked up from the dollar store on my lunch break. Woohoo. Bunny trail.
~G always knows where his cell is, I'm always looking for mine.
~Him Moes, Me Chipotle. Bottom line we love all food but our favorites are Indian and Japanese.
~I love the challenge of chopsticks, he does not.
~He runs fire calls in the night, but I mostly sleep. They got to demolish a house for training and G got to puncture a water bed.
He seemed rather pleased.
In the past, we would get a fair amount of water in our basement. After a huge rain and very soggy, smelly, and moldy carpet, I voted to rip it out pronto. So bam, we were head high in a giant mess. I later wondered whhhhhyyyy did I think this was a good idea!!! We sanded and sanded the floor and then realized it was asbestos tile. Sweet, our precious lungs. But we decided to carry on and caulked large cracks and painted ceiling, walls, floor, and stairs. We hired our favorite handyman Luke to replace some windows and a door. It turned into a mod little living room. We love it now that it's DONE.
I was whining to my coworker that I couldn't a normal photo of us from all year long. She said "Why do you want a normal picture, you aren't normal". Ok, then. That was a compliment, I'm pretty sure. So no decent pictures for you. :)
We did get to go camping a few times this year. As in three weekends in a row. We have these friends that believe in mountain camping as in no cell reception mountains. It was beautiful, in fact gorgeous. But we be city kids...someone may or may not have climbed on top of a camper to see if by a chinny chin chin they could get a few bars. Through out the 3 weekends, a rattler and a bear were sighted by neighbors, and a raccoon tipped over our big supply box and had a snack with our rolls. Crawling out of our tent for nightly bathroom breaks was not very popular.
In May, G got to be a part of opening a new Transply branch in Winchester. He loves it. He was selling there for 2 1/2 yrs after working in Greencastle for 12 years. But now there is the advantage of having a office and lots of stock close by. In April, it will be 9 yrs of selling glasses and changing green nose pads for me. One should wonder if life can get better.
We tried out white water rafting in honor of our dear friend Lael moving away for two years. G found out on the bus ride to the river that he would be sitting on the EDGE of the raft and NOT holding on to anything but the paddle. He was not impressed and thought that he may kick the bucket. Needless to say, he was at the back of the raft next to the guide and had his foot wedged so tightly under the bottom that if we flipped he would have been stuck hanging in the raft upside down. And he is still very alive.
We both had interesting expenses this year. G is in the process of a tooth implant and I got to go to China. I had prayed for God to allow me to go spend some time in a orphanage and God granted me this blessing. Pretty sure G didn't pray for tooth problems, but lo and behold.
We are still having physicals and being fingerprinted yearly just to make sure we haven't died or killed anyone. We have to stay up to date for when the Lord finds us our little China child.
"Who can add to Christmas? The perfect motive is that God so loved the world. The perfect gift is that He gave His only Son. The only requirement is to believe in Him. The reward of faith is that you shall have everlasting life." Corrie Ten Boom.
May you be filled with Him! Love
