"Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can.

Whoever will lose his life in the service of God will find eternal life."

Things I Love...

My family. All I have ever wanted to be was a good wife and mother.
Stick-shift cars
Sunday afternoon naps
Uniterrupted Sleep
Digital photography (how did we ever survive on 35mm film?)
Good books, though I don't read nearly as much as I used to these days.
Cookbooks. I read them like novels.
Organization, of anything. I like order. The cans in my pantry are stacked by type of food (beans in this row, canned vegetables in this row, soups in this row), the files in my filing cabinet are in Alphabetical order, and things fit in my purse the same way, all the time. Madness, you say? I find that it makes my life easier when I know exactly where things are.
Blogging :)
Being the one to get them out of their cribs in the morning/after naps
Rocking my babies to sleep
Hearing Ethan sing literally ALL the words to the Alabama fight song (I honestly don't know how he learned them all because we didn't make it a point to teach it to him)
The way the hair on my arms stands up when I see the video montage they play before kick-off at Alabama Football games
The way I feel AFTER a good work-out at the gym
Food, the not-good-for-you kind
A good sale
Target Clearance Stickers
