hot and fresh out the kitchen

  • God has good plans for aida
  • special deliveries via josh's parents
  • lovely bouquet of daisies 


  • meeting leah around 11:00 on wednesdays to carry things down the gangway for the hope center (a little manual labor is refreshing!)

  • valentine's day treats


  • random poetry writing
  • the life, love and fighting spirit of laura dodds
  • sevenly sticker
  • "no power of hell, no scheme of man can ever pluck me from His hand."
  • how God kept flipping it on me
  • the way mr. jay was so kind to tell emma about his leaving


  • the enthusiastic "yes! i want to go." from the girls when asked if they wanted to go visit a patient
  • how quickly and easily the kindle book 'arrived'
  • loads of clean clothes
  • really fun prints/signs/quotes


  • amazon refunded all of the books that emma purchased without permission
  • lessons learned
  • unexpected hour of "freetime" 
  • trying to imagine jimmy falon's ragtime version of ignition (remix of a remix)(i'd be SUPER thankful if i could watch it....maybe someday).  
  • the monkey hat (and the monkey under the hat)


ps - mad props, tremendous respect and a whole lotta high fives to anyone (other than nick) who knows what the title of this blog means.... hint: one of the thankful items is a clue...
