The BIG moment...

Had a revelation this weekend... bear with me, this one's deep. Went and saw my favorite curly headed tenor Friday night. At a Gaither Christmas Concert, lots of artists are there. So... for about the whole first hour and a half, you get to all these other artists. I caught myself, as I do every time, waiting and anticipating David's songs. I completely miss the blessing of everything before it because I am so wrapped up in waiting for the BIG moment. So as I sat there thinking about this, it hit me. I do that with a lot of life. I think everybody does to some extent. We can't WAIT until we are 16 and able to drive... and then 18... and then 21... and then married... and then kids... and then grandkids... and then retirement. Why be in such a rush to die that we miss out on all the good stuff in between? Don't get me wrong, when we finally got to David, it was TOTALLY worth it as I'm confident Heaven will be. I just don't want to miss all of the other stuff I get before then. :0)

Peace!

Found the coolest ring the other day. It's a peace sign... obviously. Love this ring. IT really looks cooler in person than in the pic. Coach Holladay laughed. He said he always knew I was a flower child. I can't say that I disagree. If I'd been a child of the 60s, I would've totally embraced it. I think I'd have fit right in. LOVE the tye-dye. I'm all about some peace and free love. And the music... LOVE IT. Good stuff. :0)

Pearl Harbor + 3 Birthdays

Today's the day that will live in infamy. Pearl Harbor Day. I have been blessed enough to see the memorial twice in my life. Kinda Awesome. It's a breathtakingly, beautiful, peacfully sad place to be. Definitely makes you want to be a better patriot. Today is also the birthday of 3 fabulous guys I know. The first of which, and the one in yellow in the picture, is actually called Mr. Fabulous. Stevie Miller is the GM of Ross Bridge and he is the coolest. Such a nice guy. Two others I couldn't find pics of are Drew Haley and Ben Jones. Drew is Jacob's brother. Jay was my very first friend in the entire world. Drew was in Sister's class, Jay was in mine. We all grew up together. He's one of the sweetest guys I know and has always had fire red hair. Love that guy. And Benny Hinn Jones is the other. His name's not really Benny Hinn, but that's what I always called him. He's a sweetheart as well. Fun times. :0)

In.... Out....

Not much excitement other than we had a huge banquet tonight for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Guest Speaker: Rick Burgess. This I learned, those Ins and Outs signs on doors are FOR REAL. Running full speed into a door that's about to be opened will give you a purple knuckle.

Final Score:

Door- 1 Kim- 0

Love to All!! :0)

Paper Chain!

I put up my Charlie Brown Christmas Tree this morning. It was pointed out by more than one person that it needed a little bit of love. I couldn't disagree. It's a little sad. SO, I told the kids we'd make a paper chain to decorate it. They had no idea what that was. I told them it was "Old School". Again, crickets. They had no clue what "Old School" was. They totally got it when I said Little House on the Prairie and back in the old days. Then they asked me if that's how I decorated my tree... Not exactly what I was going for. It was fun though. :0)

Photo Op!

And my fantastic weekend with Coach Holladay concluded with breakfast this morning and a photo op in front of the Christmas tree. What a good weekend it was. Absolutely nothing has changed. I talked a mile a minute, telling him everything he's missed in the past 6 years, he sat back and laughed, occasionally chiming in. We're that kind of crazy close that he's heard absolutley everything since I was 10 years old so I don't think anything surprises him anymore. It somewhat surprises me now that I think about it. There are certain subjects I do not talk about. But with him, it's different. I guess it's because he was always there when I was growing up, so somehow, it's ok. And it was fun. Definitely the BEST weekend I have had in a long time. Early Christmas for me! :0)

Chloe's Ballerina Debut!

How incredibly cute is this ballerina? Chloe was awesome beyond awesome as shown in the video. She's the one in the middle and shown in the pic. It was great. Fun times. :0)
