so a few nights ago i am sitting in a cheer parent meeting at the high school. first 5 minutes is the board reporting on the things they do. then coach w took the floor and talked to the varsity, JV and freshman parents about state competition that is coming up in a week and a half. We discussed the travel, dining and competition arrangements. after questions the sub varsity parents left and coach w went over nationals plans with the rest of us. (bless her for getting that out of the way then so we did not have to do ANOTHER meeting in 3 weeks when we leave for Florida!) then the banquet committee met....
all i can say is WOW... there is a lot that goes into this stuff.... they must have spent 15 minutes discussing colors... and the lady in charge had it narrowed down to three before she even got there. they decided on black and silver... no gold since black and gold are the schools colors and they wanted to change it up a little..... um ok.... i thought they should throw some hot pink or some other accent color in there but was not about to open my mouth and lead us into a 30 minute discussion on an accent color.... anyway then it was on to the theme... again they had already decided... but it required discussion.... its a night in Paris.... i think that's a pretty cool theme.... we (me, the people i work with, my husband, the mouse in my pocket... idk what we is exactly....) are responsible for making 2 Eiffel towers.... one 7 feet tall and one 16 feet tall.... (this is what i get for not having an opinion in this meeting....) no problem. ill fit that in during those couple of pesky hours i waste sleeping at night :) HA (nah... i really think it will be fun. and the wonderful guys i work with have volunteered to help out!) so anyway there is a lot more discussion about blah blah blah... i don't really know. I'm confident that these moms will make it an amazing banquet and i really wanted out of this meeting (which i had been in for a couple hours at this point since we started with a board meeting) so i could go watch Amy cheer at the basketball game. as i am leaving we are told to turn in pictures we may have from the year... everyone of course looks at me because i am a tiny bit of a picture freak.
i inform those crazy ladies that indeed i did have a few and amazingly i ran into a streak of organization and the coach and lady in charge of the banquet slide show already had a disk with about 2000 pictures on them all categorized by game/event. dang it was nice to feel like you were on top of something around all those over-achievers!!!!! :) then i find out that my friend has posted the pictures she has taken on facebook. YAY!
now for the reason for this post.... so i go to look at these pictures. run a search... and there they are. But guess what? i must have a facebook in order to view them. so i set up an account and then all of a sudden i have all these friends of people i have not talked to in YEARS as well as people i talk to all the time. it was greatness. however.... it took me a while to find the varsity pictures again, but was worth it when i did. those kids are going to have quite an amazing slide show this year!!!!
anyway the facebook thing is neat.... i am amazed by it. (no... it really does not take much to amuse me.) I'm still trying to figure it out... but so far its pretty neat.
Have a great day!!! .... don't forget to click on the link in the previous post and VOTE FOR LIGHTNING!!! :)

PS also take a few minutes to pray...
my cousin is having a rough time with sad news this week... she has friends who are about to have a baby that wont live longer than a couple weeks, her uncle has cancer, her friend is going in for surgery, and her SIL's SIL is in stage 4 of cancer and has children at home.
also pray for our country. i think he is an idiot... but he was elected and we have to deal with it. it is important to pray for Mr. Obama, and his family. Pray that our Heavenly Father will help to guide him and our country. (remember we only have 2 years till the mid term elections when we can get control of the house again!!!) pray for our soldiers and their families. while you are praying for all of this don't forget your own family and friends. :)

This post totally cracked me up, but then I got to the praying part and it made me cry. I love you, thanks!
