I'm Not Feeling Very Bloggy Today (And Of Course, More Pictures)

I'm not feeling very bloggy today, and my foot is really bothering me. So today, if you need me, I will be on the sofa. And yes, I am still doing all of my stretches each day; Shannon and I are both praying that they will soon start to alleviate the pain and numbness that is still constantly happening in my foot. Allie is acting like she is feeling better, and her appetite has increased, so the vet told us to wait and bring her back in next Saturday. Shannon and I both feel like this is a very positive sign that her new medicines are working. Thank you all for your prayers for both of us.

Since I don't have a "post" really for today, I thought that I would share a slide show that I put together. I made this for Melissa and me, as a memory of our time together. And since we both feel like our journey would make a great comedy movie one day (mostly due to the string of pitiful events that happened to me on the trip, but that is for another post) , I sent this slide show to Melissa on Myspace yesterday, and I told her that I think this would be great to show at the end of our movie as the credits roll. All we need now is a song to play along with it.

So, today, if you feel like it, take a look at the slide show, and if you know of a good "theme song" to go along with it, please leave the name of it in my comments section.

I pray that you all have a lovely weekend, and hopefully I will be feeling bloggy again very soon. I have so much more to share with all of you about the trip, and all of the nonsense that happened to both Melissa and me.

Until then I hope you enjoy these pictures; it's like a little sneak peek into future posts.

God gave this verse to me just before leaving on this trip. I carried it with me everywhere that I went. Even on the difficult days, I knew that God was with me.

Isaiah 30:21
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it."

Hi, My Name Is Amy.

I have a confession to make to you. I have developed a little problem. What may be even more troubling than the problem itself, is that I don't want to quit having this problem.

Let me explain.

Several of my bloggin' buddies have mentioned a website called The Pioneer Woman. And since I'm not one who likes to be left out of all the fun, I thought I'd go and see what this pioneer woman was all about. I should of listened to my friend Amy when she admitted she had a problem.

You would think that I would have reached a point in my life, by now, to realize that I should learn from other people's mistakes experiences.

You would be wrong.

After hearing so much about her I thought to myself, what is the harm in just looking?

Oh. My. Gosh. (Amy's exact response to Pioneer Woman's cinnamon rolls.)

It's hard for me to even say this out loud, but there is just no turning back for me now.

She is amazing!

She can cook. And I don't mean "regular" cooking; I mean she can help you make a dinner that will get you a marriage proposal. (I'm just saying.)

She can take beautiful pictures with her camera, and photo shop them better than any professional.

She is married to a devastatingly handsome cowboy and has four kids (she calls them punks).

She has a wonderful sense of humor. (The laugh out loud kind.)

But that's not all.........She can also write, and I'm not talking about just your regular blob blog here.

I'm talking about romance. (Sigh.)

Real life, out in the country, honest to goodness, heart pounding, cowboy kissing romance. (Sigh again.)

It's her account of how she and her husband met and fell in love. (I need a tall, cold glass of water just thinking about it.)

So, if you are interested in reading her love story, just click here. It is titled "Black Heels To Tractor Wheels".

But I feel like I should warn you ahead of time, her story is addictive. I have read it all so far and I am now heavily lurking hanging out at her website constantly a little more than I probably should, just longing for her next chapter.

If, even after my warnings of developing a serious addiction potential problems, you decide to just take a look at her website for yourself, make sure you have plenty of time available. You will need it. (And a tall glass of ice water.)

Trust me on this.

Seriously.

Hi, my name is Amy. I am addicted to "Black Heels To Tractor Wheels". But I have been clean and sober now for the last ten minutes half-hour.
(Everyone now say, "Hi, Amy!")
