Sunrise on The Farm

just another beautiful morning with my beautiful best friend and a beautiful cup of "35th Anniversary" (and you know what I'm talking about)

dAd

we are an adjusting sort of people.

Today I had some interesting thoughts.
when I drive home from school I often like to drive in the silence so I can think, (yes that is why I talk so much when I am at home). today I was thinking about history. I was thinking about when Dr. York was talking about having a strike against the gas company because of the prices. that was last semester. well, over time we (the nation it seems) has adjusted to gas prices. and yes, I know, they have gone down which is a reason for less complaining. anyways. the fact is that over time we adjusted to the fact that gas was going to cost more than 2.30 (or so) a gallon. now that got me thinking. it only took a few months for people to settle down about the whole thing. and I thought, I wonder if there are things that I have adjusted to recently. I think that is an important question to ask yourself. I think it's really easy to slowly adapt to new things, even if they aren't so good. like saying crap. when you are around people who say, and then you say it some... and then alot and so on. you adjust to make it part of your daily vocabulary. the more I thought about it, the more I came to realize that I do not ask myself that question enough. "what in my life have I let become a part of me recently? are these things good, or bad?" things like that. we are creatures of habit. so, therefore I believe we should be extra careful with what we surround ourselves with and what we allow ourselves to speak. one huge thing I have found that our family has adapted to is being sarcastic. maybe we should change that. I don't think it does anything for the Kingdom, or for our family as a whole. I am sure there are many other things as well, but I must go prepare for a speech/watch project runway.
Peace to you all!-

blah

this is me studying for my world music test tomorrow. india, africa, north america, indonesia- we're studying it all, baby!
just for the record, today was one of the worst days at LSU ever. i got a C on a test- but so did a lot of other people.
it was poorly written and poorly graded. anyway, what can you do?

study!

Happy Columbus Day guys!!!

(Bring back any memories?)

laura and john. behold my car.

bulletin

does anyone remember this grey jacket with the lion on it that mom and dad got for me at the conference in gatlinburg?
i misplaced it sometime in may and i had forgotten that i owned it. i would REALLY really like to find it- if you guys could keep an eye out for it, that would be nice.
summer/suz- maybe you guys know where it is?

I Think sometimes

I think that I don't really like to look at my children with distorted faces. I think I like them the way they were fashioned orginally.

I think the weekend was fun, Laura, but I kept looking around for you and felt the empty spots with the two of you not here. We even saved a place in the road for you and John.

I think I like the idea of Jesus turning over the money changers tables. Wasn't that a prophetic glimpse of what was to come in each of our lives?

I think I like this quote;

"The living Jesus is a problem in our religious institutions. Yes. Because if you are having a funeral,
a nice funeral, and the dead person starts to move, there goes the funeral! And, dear brothers and sisters, Jesus is moving!" Juan Carlos Ortiz

Hello, Hello

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm missing you all like crazy!! John has been so good about cheering me up but all the goofiness still doesn't remove the sadness. I cannot wait to be with you all again. I am so looking forward to Thanksgiving.

I've been waiting....

Hey ya'll..do I have some excitement for you!







A roach that crawled in my blow dryer on our honeymoon, that started to stink bad when we got to Wilmore, and that John salvaged from the dryer!! It was toasted.








A legitimate sign at a rest stop in Oklahoma.















Someone wasn't having a good day...well, actually the person said it was too big to move anywhere so their rational was to chop it apart with an ax and throw it in the dumpster...



























Love, L-

Oh yes, and here is a picture.

Dear World:

I would like everyone to know that my mother has threatened to excommunicate me from the family if I don't write something here.
I have been SO busy with life, 19 hours at school (plus lab time which is like 2 or so hours), 19 (or more) hours doing stuff for youth at church, and 12 hours working at the Limited. Currently I am just living. Taking things one day at a time. I hate my job. And I can make really cool things out of clay.
I am hungry.
I hope this satisfies everyone.
Much love- S.A

The Beautiful Family

Of all my greatest attempts at life I could have never accomplished something so sweet as this. A perfect blessing; only the kiss of God can create. And the addition has been just as sweet. If you don't believe me just look at the last post! Our John Arnold Wells : ) err.. hmmm...or something like that.

OK, on to other things...I know you are all wondering how in the world I ever posted on this thing. I see you have forgotten what I am.

A New One!!!

Revived?!? I'm just getting started on this thing. I miss you family : ( Have fun at Six Flags for me...click,click,click...wooooooo!!!

By the way, Laura tells me your low temperature for today is 66...Our high is 61. It's coollddd. Love ya'll!

Did you say revived?

Oh...this is going to be fun.
No, it wasn't my idea to do this...I don't think. It's been too long. I have nothing to say, but I'm sure I will later.

once again

dear friends,
today starts the second ignagural opening of this blog.
as laura and i unanimously voted, we're opening the shop doors once again. (but i'll give credit to whoever's idea it was..suz? summer? mom?) laura brilliantly recovered the password too!

this is going to be fun.

We're REVIVED!!!!

Hello to my family! I've got so much to say!! Sarah tells me I should post all my pent up thoughts here!! Hooray! I love you guys (by the way, please, someone take that picture of me off the internet!)

This site is now back up and running : ) We're in business once again.
