Prayers...

Prayers are a funny thing. Just when you think no one is listening, they finally get answered. I have never doubted my faith, instead, faithfully believed and prayed--for people, change, and more recently for Chris, knowing that one day when my prayers were heard enough times and when the time was right, God would answer them. It was how I was raised. It seems as though my time has come for that answer. Timing is everything. Thank goodness. I just talked to Chris and what I have heard as a possibility for days, even weeks is going to come true. He is coming home---very early!!! Claire and I couldn't be happier. We are thrilled that he will be out of harms way, back in our house & back in our daily lives within a month or so. It is so much sooner than we ever could have imagined and hoped for, which makes it that much more incredible. Our prayers have truly been answered! Thank you to all who have faithfully prayed for his swift return and safety. Please continue to keep him in your prayers until he is back home. Ahhh, God is so good. I can't stop smiling...

Oh Kara, I am crying now, this is such good news. Ihave been praying so hard for both of you.
God always answers prayers, and when I see the answer it just affirms everything I have learned in my walk of faith. Thanks so much for the news. My baby is on his way home and safely thus far. I will keep praying, even harder & more frequent now.

Kara this is such wonderful news! I too have been praying for Chris to remain safe and for his prompt return. Josh and I are both smiling from ear to ear. Please keep us updated - I volunteer to sit when you and Chris are ready for a very special dinner for two upon his return.

Erin,
Although I appreciate your offer to babysit, I was thinking a dinner with friends would be more appealing. When are you available in late March? I was also debating a soiree of some kind--our house or at a restaurant/bar. You guys could come and spend the night/weekend, perhaps Mike and his girlfriend as well. I'll let you know.
Thanks for all your support. You are an awesome friend.

What awesome news!! I'm so happy for you -- I was praying for him to come home early too because nobody should have to miss the birth of their baby. Take care!

Just let me know which weekend and we will be there :) I would love to see the two of you (we've been so busy with my weekend work at the mountain that I have neglected my friends so much and spring is the time for revisiting).

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b...
