look at the pictures from google and see how green it is!
GO GREEN!

Wear some green or get pinched!


Happy St. Patrick's day to all!! :) May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.

So I hope your wearing your green today so you don't get pinched. If you have never read the story of ol' St. Patty you really should. LP preached this past Sunday...did a great job! ;) and told the story behind the holiday. Which I was able to tell my Sports Medicine class today! So yay!

Its been a while since Ive updated. Not much has changed really. We are moving to a new town home! its really nice and instead of it being right of the street like the place we live at now its kind of in a sub-division of its own. The rent is a little higher but its worth it I think for a little bit bigger place, and safety!! The place we live at now is probably not the safest of places, we've never had a problem but its the kind of place you could have a problem.

Work is going pretty good. Its spring sports season. I just wish the sun and the 75 80 degree weather would come back! I dont like all this cold rainy mush...makes me sick.....which I am. Battling a sinus thing...gross.

Everything seems to be going pretty good. I got my car back.....ehh....and Im looking a second job. really right now i just need weekend work, need to pick up some extra cash, and then by may when the sports stop I can work after 3:30 then the summer I can work more. So Im working on that so keep your fingers crossed I can get a weekend job that still allows me to go to church and work sunday afternoons or evenings and still have time to spend with LP and Maggie.
well see what comes along

So with that I will leave with a couple of irish toast and blessing

As you slide down the banisters of life may the splinters never point the wrong way.

May you get all your wishes but one,
So you always have something to strive for.

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

Here's to your coffin...
May it be built of 100 year old oaks which I will plant tomorrow.

May your neighbors respect you,
Troubles neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And Heaven accept you.

May you be in heaven one half hour before the devil knows you're dead.

May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The insight to know where you are,
and the foresight to know when you've gone too far.

:)
