more prom information

Here are some more pics of prom. It did not rain and the weather was nice enough. 515 people are expected for prom this year and I thought the decorations were cool. Vincent and I went to help set up earlier this morning. A limo took Nicholas and two other couples and they went out to dinner and then on to prom. Afterwards it will the after prom pajama party until 4 am. They all looked so beautiful and grown up that I almost cried. Below I posted a pic of Nicholas with our neighbor who was also going to prom (quite of few of you know the stunning beauty). The other pics are of Nicholas and his girlfriend.

A Night at the Roxybury! (aka prom)

S.A.D.D.

Tomorrow is prom for Nicholas and many other students at THS. Therefore today at school it was S.A.D.D. day. Don't know what it means? That's ok. S.A.D.D. stands for students against drunk driving. This is how Nicholas looked for part of the day at school, representing S.A.D.D. Pray that all the kids have a safe prom weekend!

Get to the Point!

You know summer time is almost here when Cedar Point is about to open its gates. They do open on May 6th and the good news is that they have lowered ticket prices to $39.95. Jr and Sr tickets are $9.95 and cotton candy on the midway is 25 cents. This year they have added another ride and a new fire light show. We are hoping to plan a Gonzales family "reunion" at CP. How fun will that be? Never been check them out! Something for everyone!

Beauty Secrets

Early tonight at our ladies group we discussed beauty secrets, from a spiritual and physical stand point. There was much discussion on growing old gracefully and many shared what they wished they could change and what the liked about themselves. I also loved the home made salt scrub, I am going to be making some. Thanks to all who shared, it can be very hard to share such personal stuff with others and it was fun. Go figure the one time I forget my camera is the time Kris is doing foot scrubs and then a foot washing for anyone who wants one. Can we do it again next week? Anyways, What it comes down to is Proverbs 31:30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

I also very much enjoyed the poem about the modern gramma. We discussed how the gramma we all used to know was one of gray and peppered hair, who also had some cushion to her. So that her grandkids could really snuggle up on her (not saying that they cannot otherwise)

The Grandmother's Poem

In the dim and distant past
When life's tempo wasn't fast
Gramma used to rock and knit,
Crochet and tat, and babysit.

Gramma is now at the gym
Excercising to keep slim.
Now she's golfing with the bunch,
Taking clients out to lunch,

Going north to ski and curl,
And all her days are in a whirl.
Nothing seems to stop or block her
Now that Gramma's off her rocker :)

I really want to be a fun and young gramma, but I really think it is all about young at heart. Besides, this is not something I want to be thinking about. Gramma at my age, yeah right! Better not happen!

At first I thought....

Okay one of the questions I thought I would ask God, after I get over my awe (like that could happen), would be, "Why did he make mosquitos?" Now however, I am thinking grubs. Why do we have grubs? I now have a dead yard thanks to grubs. Today I raked up, more like peeled off the top layer, and we will now begin treatment of grubs and reseeding. This will be a second go at it just this year already! I really hate grubs right now!

Spring time pics

Yes, he did get a haircut so that is a recent picture! Just took it today! And yes Nicholas is really that big, it is a comparison of Vincent and Nicholas together. Amazing huh!

Floral arrangements and fellowship

This past Monday night the ladies group got together and had a demo of floral arrangements. Then together we had dinner and shared different soups. Yummy! Then we finished it off with our study. It really was a great time and if you missed out I encourage you to come to the next one. Monday nights at 6:30 p.m. at Kris' house. email me and I can give you directions.

UGHHHH!

I hurt my back. It hurts and today I did absolutely nothing cause of the pain. It is on the left side under the shoulder blade and sometimes stretches across my back. Never have I had a problem and it hurts. Thank goodness for my guys cause dishes, dinner, lunch, and laundry would not have been done today without them. I pray that it will be better tomorrow. It just has to be. I have to get groceries and plan for T.S. I have to be better. I can skip my cleaning job on Friday if necessary but Thursday is a must!

gospel according to Judas

okay, there has been some "news" about this discovery. Also, a new book has been written about the gospel of judas that is similar to the da vinci code. I will admit that I have not read anything about it and I have not watched anything except a five minute piece on a news documentary show (that is probably biased). Anyways, I think it could be used to start up great discussions about Jesus. Vincent made a great point when we were discussing the gospel of Judas, the little bit that we did know, he said, "If God wanted it in the bible, then he would have put it in there!" That's it and there is nothing really further to "debate". That really sums it all up I think, cause God is in control.

YEAH!!!

Tonite is boxing and the boys are going to be gone. How nice, it will be quiet and I can do whatever I want. Hhmmmmmm, wonder what I will do? I am off to find out.

I read this somewhere and I thought it was great for a church marquis. It said, "Beat the Easter rush, come to church this Sunday!"

Ok now I am off to finish watching the prime time show on the "Gospel according to Judas"

New culinary skills

Last night at our ladies group we learned some tablescape presentations! Here is a peek at what we did. This is one of the different items we made that we could use in a display. Cool and all the ladies did an awesome job on slicing and dicing. Not one 911 call was made, and I believe no band-aids were needed.

I confess!

Okay, okay! I admit it! I watch infomercials. I don't mean that I just watch 'em for a sec and then flip, I really mean that I watch 'em. Vincent might even come home from work and I will still be up cause I want to finish seeing all the things that the air pressurized cooker-dehydrator-roaster can cook. I think I may be a little mental, when it comes to infomericials. The one good thing is that I don't buy anything. I just love to watch them. Also, is it possible that it could be hereditary? My youngest I have noticed watches them too, however, he takes it a step further and informs me and Vincent what we need to buy to make our lives easier and better. YIKES!
