Monday Playgroup

Every Monday Panda-Girl and I have a playdate with other moms with little girls adopted from China. We look forward to this fun time every week!!! The girls have known each other for over a year now and love one another so much. We have tons of pictures and have done many things together. Pumpkin patch, birthday parties, Santa, all holiday parties, the Arboretum, the Zoo and so much more. This is such a highlight and a blessing!!!! Today we went swimming at one of the girl's home, had pizza and lots of FUN! God knew the blessings that awaited us when we didn't understand why we couldn't conceive on our own for over eight years. Our life is sooooo full of amazing wonders with Panda-Girl!

Seven Things You Won't Hear Me Say!

I saw this statement on someone else's blog and I had never thought about it before. When I compiled my list it made me laugh outloud and thought somebody else might get a kick out of it, too and come up with their own...

1. I'll have more olives, please!
2. This cellulite really boosts my confidence!
3. I can't wait until my next gynecologist exam!
4. I'm so glad that our insurance didn't cover all our expenses!
5. Oh! I forgot to eat lunch today!
6. If only I were a size bigger!
7. No thanks, that's too much chocolate for me!

I'm smiling...are you? ; )

Happy Birthday, My Love!!

Are you really 37???? How did that happen? I am praying that you have a wonderful Birthday today! You are my BEST friend, my love, my hero, my humor, my dreamer, my man. I love you so very much and am blessed to be your wife. Before the foundation of the world God knew I needed you. Sorry that I didn't think your movie was super funny last night. You know that I love that kind of stupid humor, but that was a little over the top with junior high boy humor. Maybe we can go on a date and see Pirates in the next few days, huh? Here is just a small list for the cyber world to get a glimpse as to why I adore you so....

1. You are a Hottie!
2. You ooze passion about the Truth of God
3. You love God more than me
4. Your smile is gorgeous and contagious
5. You love Panda-Girl so much and treat her like the princess she is
6. You make me laugh so hard I can't breathe
7. You are my personal cheerleader
8. You see things in me that I don't and tell me about them
9. You genuinely appreciate my scrapbooking addiction
10. Just this morning you took the polish off my toenails so I wouldn't mess up my fingernail polish even though you HATE feet!!!!!

I love and adore you, Panda-Pop, and I am the one who is blessed!!!

Any MAC users?

I am soooooooooo frustrated with my MAC!! I am first of all really retarded in the whole computer know-how so add that to not being able to get a photo up in my profile area by my name and not being able to find out HOW to get other blogs linked to mine and THEIR name in the sidebar......ARGGHHHHH!!! I don't want to have to go through an entire tutorial of how the MAC system works. I JUST WANT TO POST SOME SIMPLE PICTURES, not learn an entirely new language!!!

Starting Over

Well, I am giving it a new try with this whole blogging thing. I started one about seven months ago and none of my friends who I thought would look at it ever did so I deleted it!! At 35, I am about 5-10 years older than most of the typical blogging moms that I have been reading and feel like I am on the edge of being too old to lump myself in with them and too young to not be a part of the whole internet scene. Soooooo, I am going at it again and I don't care if any ever reads what I write, but I sure am going to have fun just for ME! Pictures are coming soon as to why I named my blog "Pandapalooza". I am passionate about living life and enjoying the little details that most people overlook. Let the blogging begin.....
