sometimes i wander through my mind

it is my opinion that if you're thinking something nice about someone, you should tell them and maybe afew other people as well.  it makes anyone happy to hear something nice about themselves, and to know you're telling other people nice things about them, and i don't know about you, but i feel happier when i hear someone say something nice about someone else, even if i don't know the sayer or the sayee!  so on that note....

~jonathan's parents celebrate their 39th anniversary today.  i think that's amazing, and we are super blessed
 to have them as our parents/parents-in-law and noah's grandparents

~our friends clint and elizabeth have been doing this workout thing with a trainer that's really intense, and they've been so committed and done such a great job, i'm really really impressed.

~my jonathan works so very hard every day to take great care of me and noah.  he strives for excellence in everything he does, and daily sets the most wonderful example for noah (and me!) of what it is to be a Godly man.  we could not ask for a better husband and father.

~my mother is in uganda (east africa) working with a mission team there for a year.  not a day goes by that i don't think about her, and miss her and at the same time feel overwhlemed with how proud i am of what she's doing.  i love my mom so very much.  she's awesome.= )

and today noah got this card in the mail from her:

SICK JENNI!!!!
(ba ba ba bum!)

she will not wash dishes!

she will not make the bed!

she will bowl you over with her potent mix of snot-breath and dayquil fumes!

run while you can still escape with your lives!!!!!!

so one of my fun mother's day prizes was these nifty notepads:

they do that handy fold back thing and have the coolest lines inside:

i went to the website printed on the back (as i often do with things i like) and what to my wondering eyes should appear, but the line of fabric they have with the same nifty prints as my notepads!

i am so going to need some of this....

wondergirl's going to make me!

yum!
