What's New with Us?

I just wanted to share the newest fun stuff in our house with you. Let's see...we have ordered material for a new roof. We've had the house measured for new flooring. Much past that not much going on with Edgar and I, except we will be married 15 years on Thursday of this week. We are pretty proud of that. Fifteen years, and both of us are still living and actually still like each other. We will be spending our 15th wedding anniversary with 125 of our closest teenage friends at Mpact Thursday night.

Gabby. Gabby is very excited about getting a new room. Her new bedding should be here early in the week and we will paint her room at some point this week. She is becoming a beautiful young woman. She has become quite the WII player. I am so proud of who she is.

Jaden has decided that every time we see a car pulled over by a cop (and I quote) "they must be drinking". Now we aren't sure where that is coming from but at least he is realizing those two things don't mix. In a conversation last week on the way home from school Gabby asked me what I would change if I were President of the United States. While I was thinking the kids proceeded to have a conversation that went like this:
Gabby: I would make all tobacco illegal.
Jaden: Yeah, me too and all the beer. (not sure where beer has come into the picture)
Gabby: Then there would be no smoking or drunk driving.
Jaden: I'm with you sister. Hallelujah!
Gabby: Jaden, don't say hallelujah unless you are praising God.
Jaden: I'm always praisin' God 'cuz I'm a , hello, Christian.
Gabby: What do you mean?
Jaden: It means I'm you know like Jesus, where have you been? Did you hear dad say we gotta talk like Christians?
Gabby: Yes, but..
Jaden: Well, Christians say hallelujah. That means Jesus is in your heart. So you need to say it if Jesus is in your heart. Is Jesus in your heart Gabby 'cuz I never heard you say it?
(Gabby then starts to cry)
Gabby: Mom Jaden just said I'm not a Christian.

These are the issues we face in our house....Hallelujah!
