Our Family Ramblings!

I heard a faint... "mommy?" from the other room!  I walked out and saw her sitting on the floor perplexed looking at her diaper!  She looked up at me and said, "POOP"!  Apparantly she was not happy with a full diaper and proceeded to "rip" it off anyway she could!  Guess I should think about potty training in the near future!! (or at least make sure she has pants on!)  :o) 

Have a blessed week!

So I told you I was going to the U2 concert!!  WOW!!  They can really put on a show!  For not really knowing much about their music other than a view recognizable songs, It was great!  They are great showmen!!  Their set was killer.  Of course techy hubby was in HEAVEN!!
We ran into traffic on the way there- of course- but made it in plenty of time.  We couldn't find our seats at first.  We had "Club seats" ... which at the time we had no idea what that meant.  We finally found them!  They were behind a somewhat obsure door that led us into an A/C lobby with food, fun, couches, viewing booths etc.  COOL!!  We went out into the stadium to our seats to watch the concert , but then could go in and get some cool air, grab a bite, and relax on a sofa for a while if we needed.  Our seats were nice coushy ones too. --not regular stadium seats.  It was really a great experience.

Aside from A LOT of drunk and high people around us... we did really enjoy the show!
The place was packed out!!
  This is a zoomed in shot of the digital 360 video wall.  Bono is sitting at the base of the revolving bridge!

That video wall was crazy cool!

The 360 video wall opened up and come down making a huge cone of techno. genius!!
Bono is at the end of the bridge!
We left just as he was starting his encore!!  We could hear the encore the whole way to the car( 1/2 mile away!) , so we didn't miss a thing!  Part of his encore was "amazing grace"!!  So awesome!!   Heard the whole concert and didn't get stuck in ANY traffic!!  Sweet!!


We learned from this experience: 
Don't wear nice clothes-- you may get pucked on! (not us thankfully!)
Leave an hour earlier to get to the concert of the year or you may be late!
Not all employees at the stadium know what they are talking about when asked where we go!
If you don't know the words... sing anyway... everyone is too drunk to know!
Don't get general admission seating-- you won't be able to pee, sit, eat, or breath for at least 3-6 hours!
WE NEED A NEW CAMERA!
Enjoy the pics!!

I am SO MIA!!  The guilt is overwhelming!  My life is so full right now, but to be honest... I wouldn't have it any other way!!  The kids school is keeping me hoping as princess' class mom.  I am working on getting the house in sellable condition to put on the market in January.  Princess and my boy have their extra activities... softball and cub scouts.  Princess is doing really good, btw.  She pitched last night and didn't do too bad!  The boys have several camp outs coming up since the weather will be  getting cooler.  Monkey is almost 2 and in all her glory!!  She really keeps me on my toes!!  I love it!  Hubby is busy with work.  I used to not be so happy about that, but he is still employed and still loves his job!  What more can I ask?  We are in  week 6 or so of our "shepherding a child's heart" life group at church.  It is going great and as a group we are learning a lot on how to shepherd our kids and NOT be a task master!!

ME... I am diving head first back into ministry!  I have had a couple opportunities presented to me, and I am really excited about them.  I won't go into details now, but it is so fun and a bit nerve wracking to watch the Lord just toss things in my lap.  Discerning what I am supposed to do is frustrating at times, but I know He will lead me to the right one that He can use me the most in!  I will post when the LORD and I figure them out!

So, I will still blog when I can... it will mostly turn back into strictly a "keep in touch" blog.  I will post when special things happen, events, b-days... to keep you up to date and enable to keep the family in the loop.  I won't be spending much time doing extras like good deals, sales, meme's etc.  I love my bloggy friends and wish you all the best, but for right now ... this is the best for us!  You can find me on FB if you really like to know me and what is going on daily.  That seems to be my best way of keeping in touch with a large amount of ppl that doesn't require too much time! 

So I am simplifying  parts of my life so I can focus on the other ones!  So funny how your life has seasons too!  I can see things getting so much more busier as the kids get older, but things are also getting more richer too!!  I love my life and thank the LORD for his many blessings! 

I will keep you posted here when things arise!!  LIKE.... I am going to see U2 in concert in Tampa tomorrow!!  I will let you know how it goes!!  Hubby has been trying to talk me into it for some time!  We were blessed with tickets so ... as much as I don't really care about U2 (sorry, don't hurt me!)  I will go and spend a night out with my hubby!

Until I post again-- I will remain silent , but deadly!!  :o)
