Matthew 11:28 (The Message)

"Are you tired? Worn out? Exhausted? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

A couple predictions.

If you're married one thing you probably have in common with me is that you and your spouse watch lots of TV.  Not necessarily obsessive amounts, but you have your favorites and watch them on a weekly basis.  Well, Tyler and I do too.  Here's a couple predictions I'm making on some "reality" TV.  Enjoy!

Biggest Loser
Despite really wanting a girl to win for once, my prediction to win is either Mark or Roger.  However, I think Ali is a huge contender - even though I can't stand her.
  Mark    Roger    Ali

American Idol
My vote?  A tie between David Archuleta and Carly Smithson.  However I really like Michael Johns too.  So many of them are good this year - minus most of the females.  How disappointing.  Regardless of who I like, I think David Cook is a huge competitor and could possibly win, even though I don't care for him at all.  Way too cocky and wanna-be Daughtry for my liking.  So my prediction for the final 3 are:
  David Archuleta
  Carly Smithson
  David Cook

The Bachelor
None of the girls have really stuck out to me yet, but here's a couple predictions anyways.
  Amanda   Robin   Holly

I'm thinking tropical.

It's that time of year again... you know, when it starts to get warm and you start thinking about your summer and what kind of vacation you want to go on.  In honor of my husband being gone this week on his own little "boys week out" vacation, and because of the loooong days and hours I've had at work lately, I can't stop thinking about getting away.  Family vacations are great, but I think it's important we have some one-on-one time together since that comes so far and few between these days.  Me and the hubs.  Just the two of us. 

Here's a couple dream destinations:
  Honolulu, Hawaii
  Bermuda
  Bora Bora (we WILL go there someday!)

I can just picture it now... spending days just laying on the beach, sipping a fruity refreshing beverage, and relaxing.  Not a care in the world.

Okay, now that I'm done dreaming... I seriously do want to go somewhere fun this summer and we're talking about where to go, so if you have any ideas, please pass them on to me!

It's always embarassing crying at work...

...But this morning, I really couldn't help it.  I was going through my blogroll this morning checking for any new posts from any of my friends, and stopped at Glenn Packiam's blog (see his blog here) this morning and listened to his new song that he posted.

Take a peak at this refreshing, amazing new song.  Thanks Glenn, I needed that encouragement this morning.

MY HOPE
Words and Music by Glenn Packiam
Ó Vertical Worship Songs, February, 2008
 
When my heart is overwhelmed
Lead me to the Rock that’s higher
When my feet are sinking down
Lift me up to walk on water
I will be still and know
You are my Father
My eyes will be fixed on You alone
                   I put my hope in you
                   There’s nothing else to do
                   Through every valley I know You’re by my side
                   My life is in Your hands
                   Your love will never fail 
                   Your mercies are new each day 
                   Through every circumstance my hope will stand
                   For my life is in Your hands 
Though my bed is filled with tears
Still You’re here to remind me
There is more than what appears
Grace from Heaven now abounding
I will be still and know
You are my Father
My eyes will be fixed on You alone

I need a new style.

I'm outdated and yucky looking.  It's okay - I can say it outloud, so you can too... only to my face of course! :)
So in honor of this, I have decided to start looking at new hairstyles.  Call me crazy but I'd love to cut my hair (again).  This is a trend for me... I always grow my hair out to the middle of my back, then get this strange urge to chop it all off.  Well, per my routine, I am ready to cut it. 

Here's a couple styles I like:
   

  
So what do you think?  Likes/Dislikes?  Think I should do it?!
