Who knew?
Who knew....
1. That Katharine McPhee could make us cry with that beautiful rendition of "Somewhere over the Rainbow"
2. That Elliot only sounds good on bluesy, soulful songs.
3. That Taylor could actually sing a song and not gyrate (sp?) around the stage....still love him though!
4. That Randy Jackson stole Sammie's new glasses!!!! Oh snap! I went there! Love ya Sammie!
5. That my daughter is old enough to legally drive....got her permit today....watch out everyone!
6. That Meredith Grey would cave and go back to McDreamy! Poor McVet! I know it is totally wrong but I want Grey and McDreamy together.
My prediction....Katharine and Taylor in the finals...yes I am voting...Taylor to win. Although my 1st choice is still Chris!
The phone lines have just opened!

Shock and Awe
Can someone please tell me how Chris was voted off American Idol last night?!!!! I am utterly disgusted! He is the one on there with THE best talent!!! He lost by 0.4 of 1% last night!!!
That's it! I REFUSE to watch the rest of the season!!!!
Ok well maybe not...BUT I am not as interested in it anymore...I like Taylor, I think Katherine has a great voice but Elliot has to go! He gives me the creeps!
A friend of mine sent me this website and has something about the voting results.

OK...just need to vent! I am utterly appaled! Don't ask me if I voted...cause I didn't. I depended on the American public to make the right choice! Like that would ever happen!
Ok well, it's rainy here and Chris is off American Idol and I can't make the 600 name tags for all the children in children's ministry....I am going back home and going to bed!

homesick by mercy me
You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
In Christ, there are no goodbyes
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you againTo see you again
And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
**Some people may think that this is a depressing song. Maybe it is but you know what? It let's me grieve. What is up with Mercy Me? They write the songs that make me cry!**

For Papa Serg
Today would have been Jim's birthday. He was/is my father-in-law. I don't know how to say it anymore. Because on days like this it doesn't seem like he is gone. Then we get together as a family or call and we realize, that yes, he is gone. He passed away on December 31, 2004. He would have been 60 today.
I only knew him for 15 years. What I did learn about him, gave cause for me to love him. Not only did he proudly serve our country for almost 30 years in the Army, he married the woman who brought him to Christ. He raised 2 sons who are faithful to the Lord. He took care of his mother, and let me tell you that was not and is not an easy job. There are a plethora of reason as to why the previous statement is true.
Not only were Pat, Jay and Chris the loves of his life but he fully loved his grandchildren, my children. They were his pride and joy. One year, I gave him a calendar with pictures of the kids on each month with a different part of Eccel. 3 on it. He cried when he saw it. AFter he died, we were going through his stuff...he still had it.
His co-workers knew of his family and faith. He did not keep it hidden. He provided for his family both physically and spiritually. As a father he taught his sons how to be a father, a husband and a productive citizen. As a grandfather (Papa Serg) he taught the kids to enjoy life and not take yourself too seriously. Once he was frustrated at Chris and the kids were around and he knew he had to watch his language and so he called him a "donut". The kids thought this was hysterica! They knew he was trying to be a good example for them but they laugh about it anyway!
Jim watched a pair of hawks from their back window with a pair of binoculars. They left their nest about the time he was diagnosed with cancer. They returned to their nest the day he died. Pat said it was God telling her that Jim really was ok. He had returned home.
I hear the song often on the radio by the Christian Group, Mercy Me, "Homesick". This song helps me grieve the loss of Jim. (http://www.myspace.com/mercymerocks )
My life was forever touched by a man who married a woman, who had 2 sons and became a Christian. Jim no longer has to imagine heaven. He's there, waiting for us. How blessed am I to have him there along with my other loved ones who have gone before him.

A day at sea and Castaway Cay (key)
So after we set sail from Cozumel, we spent a day at sea. That was just a very relaxing day! We sat around and had a seafood buffet lunch, read, drank iced chai teas, watched a movie!
The last day of the cruise was Disney's very own island, Castaway Cay!
It is in the Bahamas. It is very cool to think that you are the only people on the island! There was tons to do! The kids did it all! There was a buffet for lunch! It was delicious! We snorkeled and kayaked and sunbathed. Some of us went on bike rides!
We had just a wonderful spectacular day! We were sad because we knew that we would be home in less than 24 hours! That night we ate our final dinner! We had a party and of course, there was a parade of the wait staff and we all sang "It's a small world!" You can't do anything Disney without singing that song!
I am so thankful and blessed that we were able to take this trip! Our kids had fantastic experiences and memories! Reality didn't hit as hard as I thought it would. It has been almost 3 weeks since the cruise and we talk about it everyday!
Now I have the impressive job of scrapbooking all our pictures to memorialize the trip for all eternity...or for as long as the paper and pictures hold out!
I recommend this trip for everyone!

una dia en cozumel!
We spent the next day in Cozumel! We were one of the first cruise lines back on the island since it was devastated last year by hurrican wilma. The island was still pretty devasted but we were able to rent jeeps and drive to the mayan ruins, go to a beautiful beach and ate lunch on the beach and the kids snorkeled!!!
It was a great day!
That night on the boat we had a Pirate party! We danced and ha fireworks and they showed Pirates of the Caribbean on the jumbo-tron!
Yes you read this correctly...it's a pee pee station. I am sure they had a bathroom but they sold stuff there...like souveniers.
