The Blind Side

So Joe, myself, the Buchs (are new military friends), and one of their friends went to see the Blind Side last night. It was such a great movie. It was one of those that makes you step back and wonder "Would I be willing to do that for someone?" For those of you who don't know about it, it's about a family who takes in an almost adult kid who has really no family (except a drug addicted mom and a brother he hasn't seen for years) and they take him into their home, giving him shelter, clothes, and love. These people did it mainly to brighten the future of someone who pretty much had none. They did everything they could to get him above anything he could have ever accomplished on his own. All I got to say is if I was put in that same situation that I would be willing to do that same thing no matter what was said to me by on lookers. So long story short, SEE THE MOVIE!

What can I really say?

Joe and I at the Work Christmas Party Are whole table from the Christmas Party.

This week has been all over the scale of happiness and sadness. A good friend of mine just found out she's over a month pregnant. Usually this news is celebrated with joyous praises and shouts to the heavens. But I don't really doing either. The things is my friend I brought her into the church probably about a year ago, and she has been seeing this guy for less than 4 months and they have been engaged for more than half of that (I don't ask questions) and now they are expecting a baby. Neither have the means of supporting this child and I fear for the baby and them. So I have a hard time supporting the idea of them keeping the baby when they aren't ready to do it. I think adoption should be an idea they should consider. Because she's a high school drop out and works at a grocery store full time. He just graduated from high school (he's 3 years younger than her) and he hasn't ever had a full time job. I just am worried and don't know what to say.

Joe's work (his military job) had their holiday party on Thursday and it was a lot of fun! We sat a group of people of 3 couples including us and 2 guys. We enjoyed each other company and stuff. It was nice to talk with other people face to face and actually get out of house. The food was really good too! It was a little weird because they had this corn that had salsa in it. It was weird. But it was so much fun! It was also very nice because of the party Joe had off of work on Friday so we actually got a full 3 day weekend together! I guess that's really all that's going on here.

Mine and Joe's New Phones

So I don't know if any of you had a full touch screen phone, but it's freaken Hard!!!! Mine is this pretty color, but Joe's is black. So it's cool because it's a data phone and has the internet and stuff like that! Basically I'm just facebooking almost all the time because that's the only exciding thing I do on the internet, because blogging would just take to long. So we got these free for black Friday (actually got the phones the day before Thanksgiving), but we had to go back to Best Buy on Friday to get the free Blue-tooth head set and 2gb memory card for it (also free). Just a side not! I'm not home sick at all! I have been loving the warmer weather than Wisconsin has been getting. I also enjoy being with Joe. So I'm just happy life is finally becoming awesome again. The end.

GPS

So I have never driven to Oklahoma and I have never driven over 2 hours in a car in one direction by myself before driving down here. So the whole experience was just alittle crazy! So I've been thinking about it. I drove down with a gps and to be honest I don't have any idea how I would be able to have done it without it. So for those who ever haven't used one of these, it doesn't give you a big picture it just goes from turn to turn maybe to not over whelm you or something like that, but what ever the reason I tried to connect it with something else in my life. The Holy Spirit.

It leads you without you truly knowing where you are going, but shows you how to get there and you follow it because you know it's the right thing to do. And if for some reason even though through it's gental voice (actually it can sound like a crazy robot sometimes, but sometimes it's ok) it tells you the way to get back on the right road that you want to be on. So it makes me want to think I need to listen a little harder sometimes. But I try and if I do get lost I know that I will always be able to find my way back to where I need to be.
