Glad to hear your voice again.

I am so glad you ar back blogging again…yay here is my list
1) I am slightly sad I always play it safe
2) My mom is my best friend
3) Is sad there is not enough time in the day to learn all the things I need to know how to do..
4) I really believe my husband is a saint
5) I am keenly aware I should have overcome my childhood by now and yet I still hold on to it….
6) I am happiest at my home in my sewing room while I am on the phone with my mom, my husband downstairs watching tv sending me texts just to see what I am up to…
7) I am grateful that I experienced Emmaus at a young age and will forever think Grenada, MS is holy ground.
I am materialistic…I am working on that…God and I talk about it a lot
9) Thinks that in the soundtrack of my life hymms would be followed by britney spears, intermingled with the beatles, james taylor, willie nelson, and topped off with rap just for the sake of memories…
10) I am an extremly loyal, if I have ever called you friend regardless of circumstances in between I would go to bat for you in the end.

1. I also am happy that Emily is blogging again.
2. I’m a hopeless, hopeless, hopeless romantic. It’s trouble.
3. I have an embarrassing soft spot for ghetto rap. Like the really awful stuff, but only if it’s played in the correct situations.
4. There’s a pretty good chance that God designed Colorado as a place for me to move when I turned 26. It’s too perfect to be otherwise. I love, love love love, love Colorado.
5. I consider Mississippi home, though it’s not where I was born or where my childhood took place. It is, however, where I became me.
6. I’m still not entirely sold on this whole lawyer thing.
7. I think my dream situation is to work on a beach all summer and a ski resort all winter.
8. I like extremes.
9. I miss people being in my life daily. People who maybe aren’t that far away, but they were such an important part of my life at one point, that their absence is like a piece of me is missing. Emily Witt is once of those people.
10. I’m an eternal optimist.

I have typed and deleted my list at least ten times. I’m sure this wasn’t meant to be so mind boggling, but seriously… I think I’m pretty much an open book. There isn’t much you can’t tell about me from being around me. Here goes…

1. My kids are the greatest gift from God.
2. I realized after my second child that God really does not give us more than we can handle. He gives us just enough to remember that He is in control.
3. Crowded places makes me feel safe…not sure why.
4. I want to live in a big city with a ton of snow!
5. I love the sound of rain on a tin roof.
6. Amazing Grace is the most beautiful song EVER written.
7. There is nothing about my past, present, or future that I would change.
8. I love that God is my Heavenly Father.
9. I get excited when my kids reach a new milestone… like pottying in the big potty!
10. I love life and all it holds!

love you Em!

Wow! I read Stephens…deep…mine will not be so.

1. I love to sing!!!!!!
2. I worry more than my mother and grandmother but I hate admitting.
3. I love my son more than life itself.

My relief just walked in the door so I will continue this later.

1. I’m glad Emily is blogging again.
2. No one on the face of the planet is a beautiful as my wife.
3. I’m pretty sure that my soul’s native language is music.
4. I still have the same dreams that I did as a kid, despite how naive they make me feel.
5. Macho stuff is for losers.
6. Nothing in life could be better or more satisfying for me following after Jesus…no matter how many times I act as if I believe otherwise.
7. Unless The Beatles or Led Zeppelin were to reunite with all of their dead members, I’m pretty sure I’ll never go to a better concert than U2.
8. I am insecure and fearful about a lot of things. If Nelson Mandela is right, then my bravery will be determined not by my lack of fears/insecurities, but by how well I overcome them. We’ll see.
9. Being a dad is weird. Beautifully, blessedly, joyously, contentedly, and amazingly weird.
10. “I believe in the holy shores of uncreated light,
And I believe there is power in the blood
All of the death that ever was, if you set it next to life
I believe it would barely fill a cup
Oh, because I believe there is power in the Blood.”
