MY NEW RIDE !!! Can you believe it ?? It's so much fun !!!

Why is Life so Busy??

Why is life so busy?? I don't remember being this busy when I was growing up....I mean my parents were always home. My mom never had to have a job. My dad's job allowed him to be home by 4pm every evening. It was great....bible time around the dining room table at 8pm every night. You know....a great amount of family time with your parents and your siblings. I'm very fortunate to have grown up with great christian parents that led me to the Lord at an early age. I'm trying my best to do that as well. I guess I get a little discouraged when those times seem to be few and far between, due to the business of life. A life where both parents have to work just to make ends meet, and even then it's hard to keep food on the table. God never promised our life to be an easy one. For that I am grateful, because it forces me to be dependent on God for EVERYTHING !! Even producing the time that you get to spend with your family. I'm finding out as our kids get older (3 are teenagers) that they all start going their seperate ways with their friends. Making those special family times even more few and far between. I have found myself praying for that Godly hedge of protection around our family more now than ever before. I was once told that Satan keeps you busy so that you have less time with God. I hate that part of life. But, I also look at it as a time to plant my feet firm on the foundation of Jesus Christ and press on towards that mark that He has set before me. So I find myself sitting here, thanking God for the times that I do have with my family and friends. You know, the times when your children wrap their arms around you and say "I love you Mom." The times when Doug wraps his arms around me and tells me "I love you Babe" Those times my friends call or email and tell me "Hey I was just thinking about you and miss you." Those times are so precious to me. Those are the little gifts from God I love so much !!!

Update

Ok...I'm officially a Motorcycle Babe. I got my endorsement over the weekend. Now just gotta save some money for the ride. Ha, Ha

Teddy Bear Run Part 2

Here's what I'm talking about......All these bikes and the ones around the corner. They circled all the way around the building. What a fantastic sound when they are all running at the same time !!

Then of course you need someone crazy enough to be a cheerleader to get them all pumped up and ready to go ....... REALLY LOUD !!! Me and Beth opted for that job. One of the HOG members lent me a scarf to swing around to help out. What a fun time. Wish you all could have been there with me !!!

Teddy Bear Run

Ok so....I don't usually have to work on Sundays, but today was an exception. All I have to say about today is WOW... If you have never heard or seen 500+ Harley Davidson motorcycles (there were other makes as well not only Harleys) all in one gathering, it's something to behold !!! Especially when they start them all up at the same time

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO !!!!!!
IT'S TOTALLY AWESOME !!!!!!

So, it's definitely something all my fellow Harley enthusiaists have to see and experience.....if you haven't already.

More to come later........

Update

Ok all my blogger friends. Here's what's happening with me. Working 40+ hours at the dealership. Coming home to make dinner, go to bed and get up and do it all over again !! So, there's my life in a nut shell.

Our Labor Day weekend was fun. Did alot of eating with family. FUN TIMES !!

Got to sing in KidStuf the weekend of Sept. 1st. That was fun. Looking forward to the next time.

Not much else happening. I'll blog again as soon as I can.

Ginger Peach Tea

Oh my goodness....can I tell you how much I LOVE GINGER PEACH ICED TEA !!! I've made 2 pitchers just in the last 2 hours....no kidding. My family helped drink the first pitcher, so I had to make another, of course. So what have I been up to you ask???? WORK, WORK, WORK 40+ hours a week. Roman leaves for Band Camp in the morning and will be gone all week. Syrena has her first job interview this Tuesday at 3pm....at Bath & Body Works in the mall. (that almost makes me want to go back there so I can work with her) CJ and Manny are playing the Nintendo Wii EVERYDAY. That thing is so much fun !! CJ is such a riot, I swear he is going to grow up to be a great comedian someday. HE CRACKS ME UP !! So, we're doing pretty well. Just trying to spend every waking moment that we are not working, with our kids. Family time is sometimes a little TO RARE. With the kids getting older and getting jobs and spending more time with friends our schedules are in conflict. THAT REALLY SUCKS !! But, we have fun when we do get together. We went to the races this Saturday night, we have so much fun there. We're ordering pizza and watching a movie in a few minutes. THESE ARE THE TIMES THAT I LOVE SO MUCH !! Soooooooo......bring on the Family and the Ginger Peach Ice Tea !!!!
