Trip to local nature center

This is my 2nd post of the day, so check out the one below this one.

Jeremy's parents were in town over the weekend. I stayed home with Vance while they went with Samuel and Jeremy to a nature center that isn't even a mile from our home. Samuel loves this place, and he and Jeremy go several times a week. It started out as a trip to the slide and tire swing, and now it's become more nature exploration and rock throwing. Here are some pictures from their visit.

Christian novels and movies

Since I went on bedrest almost 3 weeks ago, I have read 3 excellent novels by Karen Kingsbury. If you like Christian fiction, she has some great books for you. I started with Someday, which is #3 in the Sunrise series. It made me wish I could read #4, but it won't be out until late September. Then, Tressa loaned me Between Sundays, which is a stand alone book. Then, today I finished up A Thousand Tomorrows, which is the first book in the Cody Gunner series. Now I have to figure out what I want to read next. I'm out of Karen Kingsbury novels until I can put some on hold at the library and have Jeremy pick them up.

I also got a free trial to Total Access by Blockbuster, and my first movie arrived on Friday. I watched it yesterday while Jeremy, Samuel, Grammy, and Uncle Doug went to the park. It's called Love's Unending Legacy, and it's one of the Love Comes Softly Series by Janette Oke. I never read the books, but I got into the movies when we were in Beaufort when I found them at the library. I can't wait to get the next one- Love's Unfolding Dream.

I will share more titles once I read or watch more.

Wednesday night fun and games: Who does Samuel look more like???

Since I took a late nap before we went to church, I'm up and am having fun with myheritage.com
This is the first of 3 posts tonight. Enjoy!!!

MyHeritage: Family tree - Genealogy - Celebrity - Collage - Morph

Just for Fun: Our celebrity look-alikes

I went to MyHeritage and found a link at the top (Face Recognition) where you can upload a photo and find out who your celebrity look-alikes are. Here is what happened when I uploaded Jeremy's photo:



This makes me laugh!

Here is my collage:

We interrupt this program...

...to bring you some random facts. I was "tagged" by Amy in a blogging game, so here goes.

The Rules:
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog (about their 8 things) and post these rules.
4. At the end of their blog, they need to choose people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Here are my 8 weird facts/habits:

1. In 1995, I lived in China for 3 months through Furman's study abroad program. I studied Chinese for a semester at Furman before I decided to make the trip. In all, I took 3 Chinese courses. The best part about the Chinese course I took in China was that I was the only student and had class in my room. :) I met one of my good friends, Angie Gabb, through my trip to China. We had a blast together along with the other 11 Furman students. Part of time in China was a 2-week tour. I sure wish I could find my photos. If I do, I will post some of them.

2. I like mayo on my fries! I don't do this very often since it's very fattening, but I prefer mayo over ketchup on my fries.

3. I met Jeremy at a bowling alley. For some reason Jeremy loves to tell people that we met at a bowling alley... Our singles dept. at church had a bowling outing, and the girl that Jeremy was dating introduced me and Jeremy that night. I guess that could be a separate item if I wanted to go there, but I won't.

4. I walk and talk in my sleep. My neurologist in Atlanta said that I would stop by the time I turned 30. Well, that didn't happen. I could write a book of all of my nighttime adventures. I think the worst thing that has happened recently is that I woke up as I was opening our front door. That was a scary experience. I easily could have locked myself out since we have turn knobs, and it was locked. That would have been awful since Jeremy was out of town. Thank the Lord I woke up when I did because.

5. I hate sand! I'm not alone though. Jeremy also dislikes it. I don't like to have it on me. It makes going to the beach interesting. We are always in a hurry to rinse it off.

6. I love gum! I keep it on hand at home and buy the multi packs at the store. I almost always have gum in my mouth. (Amy, I'm sorry that I've chewed gum in front of you. I had no idea that you hated it.)

7. When I was teaching at Centennial and before marriage, I had a crush on Enrique Iglesias. This was way before he was known throughout the world. He has my exact birthday to the year, which was weird. I went to a concert in Atlanta and there weren't seats at this club. We all stood up. I was a few feet from him, and I swear that he looked me in the eye. Ask Amy Saunders. She teaches at Centennial and was with me. Ok. Enough of the childish talk and embarrassing moments.

8. I can't live without Diet Coke. I've been drinking Diet Coke since I was a teenager, and I am definitely addicted. I started drinking the Caffeine Free version recently, but I still need to have it on hand. I drink one a day.

Ok, I'm going to tag Amy (not the one that tagged me) , Kelley , and Holly. I look forward to reading your lists.
