First I find my old best friend from when I was growing up.  Then I start scrapbooking with the girls and go threw all these old pictures and now this!!!!!!!!

New Kids to Perform on 'Today' - AOL News

You Just don't even understand how I was soooooo nuts over NKOTB.  I didn't just simply have my walls covered in posters.. I had my ceilings and closet wallpapered.  They were my first concert.

Ofcourse Donny was my fav and I have followed his and his brother's acting career with great pleaser *yum* lol jk

Does this happen to everyone when theY turn 30..um something.. everything comes back around to make you feel even older??? LOL

Maybe if they do come in concert I will take my girls and we can hoop and holler together.

what’s behind my current myspace profile song

what’s behind my current profile song on my myspace page (wish AOL journals made it easier to include music)

Just so you know.. I normaly put alot of thought behind what I add as my profile song andd Headline on my myspace page.  Here is the lyrics for the song I currently have: Casting Crowns: I Am Every Man I’m the man with all I’ve ever wanted all the toys and playing games I am the one who pours your coffee, corner booth each Saturday I am your daughter’s favorite teacher I am the leader of the band I sit behind you in the bleachers I am every man I’m the coach of every winning team and still a loser in my mind I am the soldier in the airport facing giants one more time I am the woman shamed and haunted by the cry of unborn life I’m every broken man, nervous child, lonely wife CHORUS: Is there hope for every man A solid place where we can stand In this dry and weary land Is there hope for every man Is there love that never dies Is there peace in troubled times Someone help me understand Is there hope for every man Seems there’s just so many roads to travel, It’s hard to tell where they will lead My life is scarred and my dreams unraveled Now I’m scared to take the leap If I could find someone to follow Who know my pain and feels the weight The uncertainty of my tomorrow, The guilt and pain of yesterday CHORUS: (reprise) There is hope for every man A solid place where we can stand In this dry and weary land There is hope for every man There is Love that never dies There is peace in troubled times Will we help them understand? Jesus is hope for every man It is one of my new fav songs.  When I first heard it on the radio I ofcourse idenfied with the women haunted and ashamed by unborn life.  But I am not brought down by that thought.. I am uplifted because I am free of that guilt and shame and I now have hope.  Free yes Free!!  I used to be so plauged by the hurt of abortion, I have come along way since I have allowed the Lord to work on me and heal me.  Yes I am still sad, and miss having that sweet baby, she would be about 16yrs old but the hope comes in knowing I will see her in Heaven when I get there and as the Lord has forgiven me of her murder, so will she.  Beautiful.. I love you and miss you!

JLand Photo Shoot #131 - Sacred

 JLand Photo Shoot #131 - Sacred

Josh got a new fancy semi pro camera to help him take up a hobby.  I encouraged him to play along in these J~Land challenges to help him get ideas lol but this is what he said:

"This a picture I would submit as "sacred" .  Independence Hall with an American Flag waving to the side. You can post it for me if you want. I just can't bring myself to start a "blog".

LOL  I don't know why he has such an abrasion to blogging.. silly man of mine.  But I will post his pic for him because I love it and I didn't have time to do mine.. I was going to take a pic of my wedding ring as an entry for Sacred.  As you may guess Josh is currently in Philly and oh what wonderful things he gets to see being right down town.  I hope the kids and I get an opportunity to visit him if he is there threw the summer to see all the historic sights.

Intendance Hall is where the first Congress signed The Declaration Of Independence.  They also have on display one of the original copies but Josh said it was too crowded and dark to get a good picture of it.  I think this is an excellent place to consider Sacred.. it is a turning point in history and should be very dear to every American.

What 10 things would you say to a friend you havn't seen in a long time... UPDATED!!!!!!!!

Almost 2yrs ago I posted this entry.. some of you may remember.

What 10 things would you say to a friend you haven't seen in a long time?

What 10 things would you say to a friend you haven't seen in many years?

 

Every now and then my mind wonders back to my teenage year's best friend Tonya Ashley.  (If you know her please tell her Mary misses her!) 

 

1. I have missed you very much and think about you often.

 

2. I have a good life and for the most part am happy, are you?

 

3. I have tried to find you again and it hurt so much to go back to Vegas that last time knowing you were probably there somewhere and I couldn't see you.

 

4. I have worried about you and prayed for you, especially after our last conversation those years ago.

 

5. Are you safe now, have you settled down yet?

 

6. Have you learned to forgive those who have hurt you or do you still carry so much hate in you?

 

7. What happen to you in the past was not your fault and the things that were are all behind you.

 

8. You have a beautiful soul and are so loved, even when you try to push others away.

 

9. You are invited back into my life and I hope we can be even better friends then we were in our youth.

 

10.  Get your butt to STL and see me!!!

 

Well the most awesome thing has happen!  Tonya and I have gotten back in touch with each other (finally).  Myspace is a wonderful thing sometimes : ) 

 

So at last I showed her the 10 things I wanted to say to her and here are her responses.  I kind of put her on the spot but that is ok lol.

 

1. Me too!

 

2. Ya, finally

 

3. Ya I feel the same way, that I wished I could find you.  I probly wasn't in Vegas then anyway.

 

4. ya, well I am done with that, so don't worry.

 

5. Yes, I pulled my head out of my *ss.

 

6. No, I have learned to forgive, working on it

 

7. Not sure what to say to that, but I am more free now

 

8.  Thanks, friend.  I felt like I had to put a wall up to protect myself.  working on that.

 

9.  Whoo hoo..

 

10.  Sure, ok.. when you pay for it or I grow wings.

 

Pics from Easter

Video from Easter Worship

My Lilly and Sophia are in the front wearing the purple and green tunic shirts.  They all did wonderful and worked real hard on this worship service for Easter!!  I just have to say Lilly looks like she took it that extra mile and was very exaggerated in her movements lol.

My Annie is in the front looking very serious (and grown up aww).  She knew it so well that she was put there so the other girls could keep up lol.  I think when they all are in sync it is sooooo beautiful!
