No Sleep = Crabigail

What do you get when you take an Abby, add a Gallon of Coffee (Starbucks & ‘other’), a crappy night’s sleep and no supper last night? A CRABIGAIL! Oh my GOSH. I haven’t blogged for quite a while but I almost feel like my head is a little too full to spill it all out without being completely vulnerable. So I guess I’ll give you the ‘Highlights’.

We met with a life insurance consultant last night, which was a complete marriage leap for us. We’ve never really explored the “what if’s” in life, and for me, makes me face my biggest fear of possibly ever losing Eric. It’s just not something we really have ever talked about.

I would have been pretty settled after the meeting and able to put it out of my head had we not then went straight to a Summer Mission Team Meeting where we had a lengthy meeting concerning the Drug Wars in Mexico and our kids and advisors safety regarding the trip; a trip which my husband will be on. CFCI is the team we work with that sets up our relationship with the orphanages we work with in Mexico and they say that it’s always been “this bad” but it’s just now that the media is getting a hold of it.

I’m not really sure who I believe, but I ask for your prayers in our favor.

Either way, I’m going to put these conversations behind me and have an amazing weekend. Not that I have much planned but I know it will be great!
Hope you have a lovely weekend as well.

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

Thoughts of the American Pride Persuasion

I sat, mesmerized as I watched the “Breaking News” of the past 24 hours – Osama Bin Laden, Dead. What? I can’t really deny my mixed feelings about posting today. I don’t normally jump into the political rings but I can’t deny the HUGE news that swept our nation yesterday. So, this post has been thought out, a lot, typed really slowly, every word, intentional. Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
