WCWWhat does WCW stand for you might ask? We have been celebrating Waffle Cone Wednesday at TCBY with our friends Preston & Alana for several months now & have loved every moment! Waffle cones of any size are like 50 cents cheaper than usual & Ben loves TCBY so much he wants to marry it because it's a healthier choice than regular ice cream.
Things I Learned About Ben This Week
- He thinks it's weird when people wash their dishes with hand soap instead of dish soap.
- "I actually like girls in boots." BT
- Kicking or throwing his shoes that he leaves in our bedroom right after I've cleaned the house does NOT make him want to put them away next time.
A Way to a Girl's Heart...
is through her stomach, or so it was for me yesterday. I go to the same Quiznos for lunch at least once a week & order the exact same thing because I am a creature of habit & find comfort in finding something that I like & sticking to it. I walked into the store & the lady asked, "small turkey?" as usual except after I confirmed she pointed to the toaster oven because when she saw my car pull up she went ahead & made my sandwich to my exact specifications! My first thought was, "Am I really that predictable?" & my second thought was, "This is the best customer service I've ever had!" Hats off to you Quiznos!
Since Ben is Mr. Moneybags now with his fancy new job, we are financially able for me to pursue my dream of becoming a Professional Home Stager. I plan on going to Atlanta in Dec for a 3-day training session & hope to be up & running with lots of experience by spring. We have also been taking baby steps to having a ScreamFree marriage & hope to be ScreamFree parents someday, so that's been both frustrating & fun. Have I mentioned that I love dreaming with Ben & taking action to make the characters in our story who we want them to be (read Ben's insightful blog post below for more details)? Have a great weekend & go get some Tim Tams from Target!
Seeking direction, purpose, excitement, fulfillment, etc. The last month, you guys have been in high gear about all this and more. Word of warning: this kind of motivation tends to bring about multitudes of naysayers. Be on guard. Often, those who are closest to us happen to also be the ones that most likely will fall into the naysayer category. They claim worry about the risk you are taking, but part of me wonders if they just don't want you to succeed in a fashion unknown to them.
ReplyDeleteI HIGHLY recommend, with as much emphasis as typing a comment can muster, that you both read The Seven Mountain Prophecy by Johnny Enlow. It's the most motivating book that I've read that gives much direction all for the Kingdom of God. Check it out.
I am so excited! I am going to call you right now! Congratulations Ben!
ReplyDeleteI'm behind on my blog reading but YAY for Ben! That is awesome! And, as usual, your Friday posts just make me smile every time!
