AMC and Kennedy

-
My sweet Kennedy
Offered to take me to a late movie
She bought the tickets and made a plan.

The last time we talked about the movies
And the cute guy that works there
She said he'd never notice her since
She never gets fancied up for the movies.
Because it's her thing, she loves going so much
That she wears her most comfortable clothes
Which are sweats.

So I put on my new
yoga pants
And a hoodie
And was surprised when she was dressed to go.
I said, should I change?
And she said, should I change?
And she changed into her comfy sweats.

I had to laugh when the little commercial
With the red AMC balls came on
Signaling the start of the movie
Because her eyes lit up and a smile crept up her cheeks
And she didn't even realize it.
Because it's her thing.
It's therapy after working hard and
Living in a pressure cooker.
And she brought me along to do her thing.
I'm so lucky I can't even tell you...

We saw Unbroken, a true story about
The human spirit.

If I can take it, I can make it.
A moment of pain is worth a lifetime of glory.

It was inspiring
And terrible
And moving
And it changed me.

I know there's some fight left in me
I just gotta clear out the clutter to get to it.
And I intend to.

Xoxo

I woke up this morning Fully realizing that He is gone. There is nothing I can Think Or say Or pray That will undo that. Now we have to Navigate through another day Without him. Like learning how to walk On new legs. Pray for my strength To come only from the Him. Mine is faulty. May the comfort of our Lord Come to those around me Through these two arms And these two ears And this trickle of tears. Lvb

  This dog is a fierce opponent of mine. For over a year I have avoided the last leg of my two-mile walk because of his ferocious bark. I have a fear of dogs from childhood that is pretty irrational, but I am able to reason myself out of running scared, sometimes. Instead of walking to the end of his block, I would just retrace the distance over an area that was dog-free. It felt silly, but it kept me safe. Then one day there were two walkers ahead of me that managed to get to the end of the block with no sign of attack. I could hear the dog barking, but he didn’t approach, so I assumed there was an electric fence. Oh the joy I felt at this discovery! I began to shed my fear and walk freely to the end of the trail.  I was so happy about my newfound freedom that I decided to write about it. So one day, I stopped on the sidewalk in front of the dog’s house to take a photo of him. Before I knew it he was charging at me, barking viciously. He got closer and closer and I walked quickly down

Hi, have you met Dale? Than you know why this picture shocks me everytime I look at, it's like I'm seeing it for the first time. So I'm praying that I'll have at LEAST one writing project done by next spring. With the new home schooling goals, I don't know how practical that is, but without a forty hour commitment to working every week, starting in October, I'll have a little free tiME! WE GOT THE JOB!!! Dale interviewed today. We should have a reporting date in October. Thank you all, with all sincerity, for your prayers for us and the timing on this crazy thing. It has been worth the wait- for this. If we had not been forced to wait the past months, Dale would have gone into the interview totally unprepared, overweight and out of shape. But God... For years we have lived our lives like Mario- when he's invisible and the fast music is playing- invincible. (my first big word as a kid) When we first got married, Dale worked at Blockbuster as a manage
