Catlynn: Micronesia? I'm wondering how that came about. Your parents were actually from there? ..or there for missionary work or something? I assume you're a US citizen now. Yes?
Also, how long were you in Hawaii? ..and if you want to share how that came about as well. I really would love to visit Hawaii some day. It looks amazing. Plus, I have an on and off love affair with the ukulele. :D
 
I decided to bring an eyepatch on that adventure because my boss decided that they would be fun for alleviating office stress.

I put it on at the airport and a friend of mine saw a good photo op without my knowledge. That is when this picture was born.

And 'cause deep down you'll always be a pirate!"

I saw you sneak in. Now you must answer questions.

How was your wedding? Where was it? And how did you meet your husband?

My wedding was good! Minus my mental breakdown the night before from stress (everyone kept telling me I should do this and play that certain song and I didn't want to) and the fact that the pastor had them turn down the lights once we were on the stage (I hadn't warned the photographers about that!) everything else went well! All my immediate family and friends (shiningthurpain and minnesotablu) made it in from Ohio, Michigan and Montana! And the reception was nice it was at my in-laws, very laid back and just plain good! It was a very simple, inexpensive wedding (decorations thanks to hobby lobby ;)) and intimate! We had about 65 ppl all together. :)

It was at our church here in our town in Arkansas!

I met him in this very chat room, the summer of 2006. He left the chat room sometime in 2007 (we'd talked almost ever day in that year span...but just as friends) but I sporadically kept in touch with him until around my 19th birthday where we swapped phone numbers and have talked every day since! I met two June's ago for the first time, moved here from Michigan for college, and we've been together every day since August 2010 :)

My parents were missionaries with YWAM and moved to Micronesia for a year and a half where I was born. Yes I'm a US citizen but my birth certificate says Federated States of Micronesia. :) I lived in Hawaii for 5 years. My whole family moved there right before my 18th birthday for my dad's job. They moved back a couple years later but I stayed longer. I absolutely loved it and would go back in a heartbeat if the opportunity arose. It played a huge part in who I am today. And the uke is super awesome. :)
 
Zero, I want some birthday cake. Would you hand me a slice?

You caught that huh? :) Ok, here's a slice. Its chocolate marshmallow cake. It looks a lot like this too:

That makes me think of the proverb "A word spoken in due season, how good it is" :).

Believe it or not, I put some thought into my own screen-name, but my reasoning was more practical than poetic.



I try not to set too many goals for myself, so my bucket list is really just a list of stuff that needs to be done (like, if someone nags me about that big pile of stuff that needs to be sorted, I tell them that dealing with it is on my bucket list). So, I suppose that the only REAL goal on my list is to fulfill God's plan for my life, whatever it may be.

Having said that, I would sort of like to take the last few classes I need to get my degree, and it would be cool to have a public showing of my artwork someday. But, I won't feel unfulfilled if neither comes to pass :).

P.S. I like the smell of Gardenias. I don't know how my heart is, because I'm not qualified to judge it. And, I don't think anyone (except God) knows just how hard it is for me to stand up for myself/talk about my feelings (that probably sounds ridiculous).



Cool story, thanks :) (Runs off, dragging teddy bear) :D


Mr. Green: You are somewhat correct in your assumptions, but there's a bit more to the story ;). Alas, I think it best that I keep it to myself, for now. The Lord leads, right? :)


I do believe it. I'm sorry that's a struggle, but thank you for sharing. And MOST important of all...You're Awesome! ;)
 
Green as for your question... ummm i guess i can only say that in my 28 years on this earth life has been completely unfair, and i havent and will not ever understand why somethings have happened. It's easy for me to become angry and resentful over it all. And i fight those feelings all the time. However they win more than i would llike and you can see that through my "hard line comments"
........-.......
True, I can see that, Nods. You are beautiful girl , like the nominated 2001 movie of the year with Russell Crowe.
The Lord leads, beautifully, always, my sweet lady. No bitterness ever in Him. So why does it have to be in us? I can't answer that except to say we are ALL normal in that way. God is the only one, through faith in Him, who will bring us through it :)

I have not been in bible study, someday, perhaps, the Lord leads , but , like I've said before about your ability to do provocative, funny, and, dare I say outlandish threads (outlandish, outlandish, outlandish! :D ) , I am not surprised by your ability to lead in a bible study aplombly, like snackersmommy said you've done.

Catlynn: I can't see that avatar very well. Is that you jumping or flipping or falling???? What is that? :)
 
Haha I'm doing a back flip. I'll try to crop it and make it bigger so you can see. Violakat thought I was a Clydesdale. Haha :P

Hey, Clydesdale's happen to be among the prettiest horses. And since I have astigmatism, I blame it on that. lol.

Now what can I blame my typing skills on?
 
I love you and your astigmatism self! As for your typing woes...I'm not sure on that one. Haha

Jullianna: What advice would you give to a parent entering the "teen" years with their children for the first time? (It's my biggest fear. lol)
 
Green: why do you change all the words around in your sentences. Its always like a big riddle! Your posts that is :)

Let's see...

Clue #1--He insists that he's green.

Clue #2--Backwards, he sayeth, many of his wisest proverbs and cantons, indeed they are... (and may the force be with you.)

Yup, just as I suspected all all along... I think our good friend Mr. Green is secretly Yoda...

All we need is for one of you good people to challenge him to a lightsaber duel, and see the truth of his identity, we shall know for sure. :D

(Since this is the "Asking Thread", maybe I should just ask--Green, are you really Yoda??? Or maybe Yoda's taller, Bible-believing cousin??!?) :)
 
Seoulsearch: should i give my dog the rest of my fruity pebbles??

Nod: It's so good to have you back but seriously, Girlfriend. You and I once agreed to go out over a bowl of Fruity Pebbles (or something like that.) You know I LOVE me some pebbles.

So why would you give them to your dog when I'm sitting right here? Honestly, you're going to show the pooch more love than me? Hmmph!!! *hurt and grumpy* :)
