OK! So, we are three days into The Love Dare, and today's dare is to buy your spouse something that will let them know that you were thinking of them. Well, I was not sure what Brent was going to do with that...but he went to my fav. store in the whole world, BOOKS-A-MILLION and got me a book! Seeing as how my love of reading runs right up there with movies this was so awesome. More than that though~ he went when I had fallen asleep this afternoon and then put the book right next to me on the bed, so when I woke up it would be the first thing that I would see! He is so sweet!
Kudos to my hubby!! He makes taking on a LOVE DARE really easy. Thanks Brent for being so easy to love~ and for being the best husband in the whole world. I love you.
~~totally guaranteed for life...

Fireproof~The Love Dare & Urban Night at the Church
There is just a lot of good stuff going on right now! Yea! First of all, Brent and I and the kids went to see Fireproof last night. Superb movie~ if you have not seen it yet then you need to get off the computer and go see it...right now... (if you are still reading and have not seen it...GO!) LOL... sorry. Just loved the movie that much.
In the movie the main character, Caleb, gets a book from his dad called the Love Dare. It is a 40 day journey through learning how to really love your spouse. And even though I feel pretty competent when it comes to that, I got the book anyway. Though I fully intended to make this 40 day journey by myself, Brent told me that he wants to do it with me!!! What a guy! I am so excited about what this is going to mean for us. I am so looking forward to learning more about him and making our marriage even that much stronger.
Other than that, at our church we had an Urban Night Carnival. Our family along with another family worked the football toss~ it was so fun! They had free food, games and a rap group that performed. It was a really great time, and I caught some pics of the kiddos so I thought I would share them. Enjoy~
GO LONG...
HE IS REALLY TURNING INTO A TEENAGER!

One Life
This morning I bought probably the best cd that I currently own~ One Life by 33 Miles. Oh my gosh~ whether you like Christian music or not, you should go get this cd. You need a copy of it. The song "One Life to Love" is incredible. If you click on the name of the song, it will take you to their website and you will be able to listen to the song. Simply amazing.
Yesterday Brent and I went to a marriage seminar. Although we really feel like we have a great marriage, and probably could have taught some of the break-out sessions... I really loved it. I know you must be thinking that I have a really big ego problem saying that we have that great of a marriage, but let's just be honest~ I have been blessed to have such a great husband. That is not to say though that even when you have a finely-tuned machine that you do not want to pop the hood once in a while and make sure that everything is in it's proper place and that nothing is getting clogged up...maybe check the oil...
So, we checked the oil, and even though I am pretty good at singing Brent's praises, I picked up the best idea when we were there last night, and I want to encourage all of the ladies that are reading this to take a little time to do this one~ write down 100 things that you love about your husband. I am working on this today! I can't wait to show it to him...I think that it will not only be a great thing for him to have, but how great for me to get to spend the time that it will take putting it all together. To really take some quality time thinking about the man I love. Makes me really thankful that our church would take the time to put something like this together for all of us! ACC Rocks~and so does my hubby~ and my new cd!!

Finally...Something good
Have you ever heard the song by Anne Murray, A little good news? It talks about new and how all we hear is the bad stuff. "one more sad story's one more than I can stand," she sings. And then she goes on to say "just once I'd like to see the headlines say Not much to print today, can't find nothing bad to say." Isn't that the truth?
Well~ let me say that I have found something in politics that is good!!! And let me also say that I am a registered REPUBLICAN, and will vote that way come election day...but KUDOS to Barack Obama for stepping up to the plate on this one and displaying some integrity~
When asked about Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin's 17 daughter who is pregnant, he had the following comments... "Let me be as clear as possible," Obama said. "I think people's families are off-limits, and people's children are especially off-limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as governor or her potential performance as a vice president."
So, Thank you, Mr. Obama. Thanks for taking the high road. We need more of that!
