WOW

Wow Is The Word for Today....

Wow 5 days out of school made for a painful morning. My kiddos were trying to think of any reason to not go to school. I was so ready when I finally got them loaded up into the Yukon. I love them both immensely, but, It. Was. Time.

Wow There are a lot of people in Washington DC. Yes, I am watching the Presidential Inauguration. How could I not? My love for politics mixed with my love for watching people, too big of a temptation. My mess of a house will just have to wait.

Wow Michelle Obama is very pretty when you see her up close, and the Obama children are beautiful girls.

Wow today is a huge day in the history of our country. It is a bit surreal for me. I did not think President Obama would get elected a year ago today. I really hope he lives up to the peoples perception of him. Politics aside it is a beautiful day for African Americans, and all minorities. It shows a great progression towards equality in our county.

Wow the next three weeks are super busy for us! I always tend to get a bit wound up when i feel like I am under pressure. Hopefully I can stay calm! Wes and I have a couple of speaking engagements. We have been asked to tell our story for a couple of different church groups. This makes me so nervous for a plethora of reasons! Last night as Wes and I were talking in bed about it, and about my apprehension he quietly and firmly said "Erin, pray about it and you will know what to say." It took me back a bit because I am usually the one to say "did you pray" or "You need to pray"....it was sweet, and I think he is right.

Wow we dropped a 1000.00 dollars on tires for my Yukon yesterday! Isn't is funny how as soon as tax return money is on the horizon, bills and expenses come out of the blue!!! Oh well, we are blessed they come at a time when we have the money to pay for them=)

Wow it's done, we have a new Commander and Chief.

I would say WOW at a thousand dollars for tires we never have had to pay that much. I don't like buying those kind of things but ya have to have them. Good luck with the talks you will do great!

Hi Erin,
It was so fun to check your blog outagain. My boys had 3 weeks winter break from the German school and we almost didn't survive! Good luck on the speaking assignments--that is really hard, but you'll do great!
