Fish and Chips Story — The Story of Us

There are only two days left until Penn State kicks off against Akron. I am a little nervous about how we will do this year after loosing Mr Robinson at the helm, but I know Jopa is the man and we will have a good run this year.23 days unitl, what is for me, the most important game of the year, OSU. Living in Columbus I get a lot of flack from my OSU fan friends. We beat them last year and I dished out a lot of crap. If PSU looses this year I will take it like a man but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.

WE ARE…PENN STATE!!!

We took Alora to have her 7 month pictures taken yesterday.  We took her in a little brown sundress, a cowboy hat, and her great-great-grandfathers sadle.  I think I may just spend my entire paycheck on prints of these pictures.  I can’t wait until we get them and can put them on line for you.  They are so cute, and I am not just saying that because she is my daughter.

I had my first pancake today.  Daddy was making them and I was looking at them longingly so mommy stole one and gave it to me.  Daddy makes rockin pancakes.  I really liked it but I wanted the sticky stuff they put all over it, and they wouldn’t let me have any.  Oh well, it was good anyway.

We are getting ready for School to start again getting all of our Students back into school.
I am looking at going back to school myself.  Since I didn’t actually get a “degree” from my bible college.  I think I will be going back to Franklin University here in town.  I am researching now to see who would be best for me.
Plus work and being a new Father, so many things to do and so little time.

Acquiesce  by Stavesacre

even now your eyes are courting sleep
i’ll stay by your side as i have always been
sleep tonight, may your dreams reveal my love for you
beyond what i must do, do you know my plans for you?
to separate myself from where my treasure lies
then naked in this cold and lonely unforgiving life.
be stripped away of all delusions of the man i’d like to be
at the moment.
i am broken parts sure of only weaknesses with nothing left to show
no illusions left to hide behind.
burning clean has been both agony and absolute release
can i hope to pass this test, is my destiny the wilderness?
the hardest part of letting go, is trusting you with everything
in laying bare my soul is truly seeing who I really am
Father what is man that You are mindful of him
can i pass this test? is my destiny this wilderness?
to stand alone
against a life of wretchedness.
impossible to hope and so i plead
Your graciousness show me your glory
may my life reflect your presence
and never again find myself in anything less.

How hard is it for us to understand God’s purpose for ourl life? To rest always in His perfect peace knowing that He has the plans for our lives.  Yes as you can tell i’m in a very introspective mood, stavesacre helps with that,, not getting me in that mood but hashing out everything that rolls around inside.

 So God i’m yours,, what more can i say? reveal to me your plan for my life so that i may follow it, kill what you must and revive what is dying.

I know it is crazy, and I would never pay for it, and I am sure that my company didn’t pay for it but I am now sitting in an $1100 dollar chair. No that isn’t a typo that is eleven-hundred dollars. Isn’t that crazy?

The Chair

I can’t believe that time has flown by so quickly. It seems like only yesterday i was unable to sleep and feeling little kicks in my stomach, now i’m still unable to sleep and the kicks are on my stomach!

 Alora is getting sooo huge! She’s extremely tall and so thin,,, for length i need 6-9 mos. pants but to fit her little waist i need newborn pants that look like capris,, good thing that’s the style. if only my waist were so small ;(  ,,, but that’s what you get with a body by baby.

 Well once i get an update on her actual weight and height i’ll let everyone know.

I am 7 months old today. I feel like it is a great milestone in my young life, and is a time of reflection. It is about time I get around to doing some things I have been meaning to do, like crawling, getting my first tooth and deciding to be left-handed. Yea, it has been a great life so far but I have so much left to look forward to.

I know I have already told you a little about my weekend with Daddy, we had a great time, but it sure was good to see Mommy again.  She suprised us by coming to Church.  Just in time because I had a dirty diaper. 🙂

We all took a NICE nap on Sunday and then finished watching the race.  It was great to spend time with Daddy but I am so glad to have my Mommy back.

I have had a great time so far with Daddy this weekend.  I was really tired Friday night so I went to bed on time for him and didn’t stir until I got my night time bottle.  I was even nice enough to let him sleep in until 8 this morning.  But I was hungry and wet so I couldn’t wait any more.  Then we played on the floor this morning while we watched Little House on The Prarie, I think I like that show.

Then Daddy took me out for a walk and I got to talk to my Grandma Fisher although I wasn’t very talkative.  But now I think I need another nap.
