| If ever I had luck it was today. For the second time in my life, I won something on the radio. And the first time being the new Steven Curtis Champman CD, this was pretty exciting. I won the love89 Dollywood prize package. Four free tickets to Dollywood and four free tickets to Splash Country! I WAS SO EXCITED. And I got to be on the radio screaming my head off:)
Then, when I got home Hudson had bought me a dozen red roses just b/c he loves me. I love him very much too, and not just b/c of the roses:)
Lastly, my brother got to come up and spend the night with us, and go to Dollywood with us tomorrow, and we played Yahtzee. I got my highest score ever the second time we played and both times I got Yahtzee!!! 316--my highest. Of course, Hudson got his highest score too...and happened to beat me at the same time, but that's okay with me.
Sadly, my luck was not good enough to keep way my most hated customer from coming into the bank today at 5:30 and staying until 5:50...and then someone coming in at 5:58 to cash a check...and my luck did not even keep this cold away that I have...BUT I'm going to Dollywood for free tomorrow!!! And Splash Country later on this summer! I AM PUMPED!!! | | |
| This Christmas, someone graciously revealed to Hudson and I that poinsettias were poisonous. We found this great Christmas song dedicated to the plant and thought it showed a more tender side of the once-thought-wicked plant.
"Percy, The Puny Poinsettia"
Percy the puny poinsettia
Is hanging his bloom in dismay
If they had just kept him wetta
He'd be a houseplant today
Folks liked the other plants betta
Now he's alone on the shelf
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself
Holiday shoppers would stop by the counter
And pick up a plant to take home
Until one by one all his friends were adopted
And Percy was left all alone
Percy the puny poinsettia
Is hanging his bloom in dismay
If they had just kept him wetta
He'd be a houseplant today
Folks liked the other plants betta
Now he's alone on the shelf
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself
Then into the store on the night before Christmas
Came a poor little girl who was cryin'
But when she saw Percy her eyes opened wide
And she said "Can I please make him mine?"
Now Percy the puny poinsettia
Is standing beside Mr. Tree
His leaves have never been redda,
He's as proud as a flower can be
Somebody made him feel betta,
Rescued him off of the shelf
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself | | |
| I have not written on xanga in a long while. In fact, I have not written much of anything (expect wedding thank-you notes) in a while. I'm beginning to wonder if I still even know how to write and maybe that's why I've been avoiding posting anything on xanga. Once you quit disciplining yourself to write concisely, it's a lot harder to type a xanga entry without a lot of work.
Also, it seems that I don't have all that much to say...at least on xanga. Some of you may not believe me, and others may feel a great disappointment in me, but my life has not been nearly has dramatic as it has been for the past 22 years. I haven't done anything crazy lately, nor have I done anything stupid either (that I know of).
However, for those of you interested, I now have a job. That is exciting:)!! I've been working at a bank as a teller for over a month now. It is really the perfect job for me because I enjoy it and I enjoy going to work (unlike most people in the world). I may not be the best at it yet, but I'm learning so that always makes life interesting. And of course, there are the ever interesting customers that do a random assortment of things. Take for instance, this Saturday: I was sitting at the drive-thru and a customer walked through. We did business as he stood outside the window. It made things a little more complicated because he kept getting in the way of the drawer whenever I tried to give him stuff through it. And when we were done, he walked away. I guess he saved some gas.
The rest of my life seems a bit out of control. Working, cooking, keeping up with a house, and working out just won't seem to fit into one day. Also, finding a new home church is an extremely difficult, and rather depressing job.
But then again, it's almost Christmas. Hud and I bought our first tree and put our few meager ornaments on it (pictures coming soon) and we are both pretty proud of it. We are also both on a strike against Santa Clause this Christmas. It seems that Santa is trying his very hardest to replace Jesus. We went downtown in Chattanooga to watch the city light up and they had a Christmas program. Some people in the city tried to get the live nativity scene banned, but so many people were upset that they had to have it. However, the main show was ALL about Santa Clause and how Santa was everyone's hero and basically saying Santa was the reason for the season. I don't think either of us have ever seen Santa praised so much. It was rather sicking to see him dance around stage and sing Christmas song that carefully avoid anything to do with God.
At the same time, it's such a good reminder to focus on Christ and why He was born, what He came to do, and how He lived. And how important it is to teach our children that Christmas is not about Santa and getting stuff, but about Christ bring life and light to the world. May we always pass this on to those around us and to our future children.

| Since I've changed positions in life from princess to queen I decided that it was also a time for a color change (also inspired by Hud and Rosalind changing their xanga colors). I think my new blue-green is more royal than the hot pink (which is still awesome), but now I look more mature...or something like that. This past week was Hudson's fall break and on Friday we drove up to the Smokey mountains (along with the rest of Knoxville) to go hiking. We hiked out to Charlie's Bunion. It was 8 miles total down and back on the Appalachian Trail. We hiked hard, but the weather was so nice that we were kind of cold the whole time. Hudson climbed up on top of the Bunion at the end of our journey, and I took a picture of him. Living in the middle of Knoxville is really awesome in a way--we are ten minutes away from Wal-Mart and Blockbuster and even less from the mall and Chick-Fil-A. But this city sure is ugly compared to Chattanooga. It was a 2 hour drive to get out of the rush and polution and get some fresh air and beauty. But then again, life is going really well. Hudson and I are married (which is still crazy to me...but I'm slowly getting used to it) and in love and have everything we need. Actually, we have a lot more, such as an amazing apartment which Hudson is slowly letting me paint all the rooms in . Our newest addition is a sage green guest bathroom. Woot-woot. Something I don't understand about marriage is why God designed the whole cycle the way He did. I know it has to be good because HE designed it, but right now it's hard to make sense of it. You start at birth and you have a family that raises you and loves you and cares for you and makes you safe. Then, you fall in love with a guy and decide that you must marry him. This all sounds more than wonderful until you realize that you have to leave your awesome family. So, everyone is excited, but then again, everyone is sad. And that is going to be Hud and I next . We are going to have some children that we absolutely love and pour into their lives for a few short years, and then they are going to leave and make us sad and do the whole thing over again. It just seems like the whole thing is a sad process because it seems like the people you love are always leaving. Or you are always leaving them. I can't imagine life another way, but why do we have to get so attached to our families? Hmmmm...I don't have time now, but my next rant will be against families moving all over the country | | |
| Happy Birthday Hudson!!!!
Today begins the three month period that Hudson is seen as a craddle-robber. I am 22...he is 25:) But not to worry, come December 6th our relationship will be completely legitimate again.
And now for some mushiness: I love you Hudson:) You are an amazing man--strong, steady, smart, and such a hard worker. But most of all, you never give up.
