It's Me Again!!!

Sorry to leave you hangin', Rob! But you did good to provide Meme some reading material! I just haven't really been in a blogging mood the past week or so.
So, here's what I've got today....Bryson turned eleven months old yesterday! Holy cow, where has the time gone! He's a little monster!!! He has started making these ridiculous faces at everything...he's very animated - guess he got that from Nate!!! Hehehe!
Nathan will be taking his test to get his Insurance liscense this Friday, so everyone be praying for him!!! I start working with Women of Faith July 7th in Chicago....WAHOOOO....BIG FUN!!! I expect us to be running the place by year's end! Anyone else wanna join the team???
I think thats all for now! Hope everyone has a great day!!
Boo for high gas prices!! Boo for the Da Vinci Code! Hooray for me buying a swimsuit for the first time in 2 years!!! I don't think you're ready for this jelly!!!! HEHEHEHEHE
2TALOO!

My Tradition

I think it is important for me to carry on my tradition of being the only blogger. I mean, hello, Meme needs something to read, and no one else is giving her material. So, here's what is going on today. It's Tuesday, and I've only got 2 more days of work. The kids get out at 12:40 Wed and Thurs, so really that should only count as 1 day. I have to work until 2:00 on Friday, and then SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!!! Then I'll be sitting at home chillin'. what a life. nothing else important or even unimportant to write for now, but when I think of something I'll be sure to let you all know. Later.

UFC 60 - Post 2

Sorry to hear that Nathan won't be able to make it to TX for the UFC event. His excuse is a good one, since he will be testing on Friday - so GOOD LUCK! I'm sure you will do fine. As for me, I think that I've decided now that we might as well just buy the PPV at home. I looked and it is $40. My soon to be bro-in-law Ben is planning on joining in on the fun, so if we have it at the house Kama and Amy can watch some too if they want. I don't know what to think of Chase - he'll probably get stung by an ant on his pinky toe and need to stay home because it hurts too much to press the gas pedal! ;) right, chase???? For those of you who don't know, Chase has a swollen forehead from a "bug bite". It caused him enough mental anguish that he passed up free tickets to the FC Dallas soccer game Friday night. By the way, the game was awesome and Dallas won 4-0. It was a great night and a great game to watch for people who might not normally care for soccer. Plus we got free $10 gameplay cards for Dave & Buster's because Dallas scored 2 goals! yippee. so, that's all for now. The decision on UFC at home or D&B's is up to Chester. Be here and we'll stay home, don't come and I'll go out. what you think?

UFC 60!

The event is almost here! Anyone interested in watching needs to let me know. We have 2 options. Option 1 - Dave & Buster's in Frisco is going to be putting on an event. It will start at 9PM, Saturday May 27th. Cost $10. I'm there! Option 2 - if 5 or more people are interested in going, it saves money to pay the $40-$50 for the Pay-per-View and watch it at my house, or somewhere else with a big screen.
I'm up for either option, but this is one that I don't plan on missing. I hope that anyone who would like to join in can make it because it can be fun watching others get beat up(sorry MeMe). So, let me know! I'll be counting down the hours until it happens(mainly because school ends on the 26th!)

Prayers for Babies and Families

Hey. I know that the Arkansas crew is already in prayer for the family that just lost a baby(sorry, I forgot the family name). But I wanted to ask that everyone pray for my friends and their baby as well. Matt and Lisa are expecting, and I got an email this morning saying that Lisa went into early labor Thursday morning. She is now on bedrest and hopes to wait at least 4 more weeks to have the baby, so that he can be around 4-5 pounds. The family is Matt and Lisa Allen, and the son's name is/will be Patrick. Thanks for your prayers, and someone post a comment with the Arkansas family name...please. Love to all, and thanks to God for our healthy babies!

Squidoo

That's right, you read correctly...Squidoo!
Do you know what it is? It's a new way to search for things that you are looking for, and it's a way to create a page on something that you are an "expert" on. I've created pages for Assistant principal searches, Women of Faith products, and 2 of the WOF speakers. The point behind it is to be able to search for things in a clear way and find quality information instead of just hitting google and having to wade through the junk.
Would you like to check out my page? www.squidoo.com/WOF
Would you like to create your own page? www.squidoo.com/lensmaster/referral/mrvardeman
If you are going to create a "lens" please click through my referral link above. Even if you don't want to create a lens and become a Squidoo lensmaster, you can become a member and rank all of my pages. That helps me to move up in the rankings. I've been on Squidoo for a little more than a week and have moved up from around 40,000 to #920 today on my WOF page. The others have a lower rank because they have not been visited as much.

By the way, this is not a sales pitch, and it's not something I'm trying to do in order to retire. It's just something that looked like fun...so I tried it. Turns out it is fun. Who knew.
C U Later.

Question of the Day...

Does anyone think that David Blaine is an idiot?

***Amy keeps trying to edit this***
***Rob is mean, try changing it back now!***

Who Loves Meme????

I DOOOOOO!

Our reader of the week is our precious Meme!!! She wanted everyone to know that she reads our Blog all the time. And she wanted all of you to know how funny she thinks I am! (hehehehe).
We have the Grandest Grandmother of ALL TIME!!!
Lets all share a favorite memory of Meme.....

I'll go first.....

When we were little and still lived in Dallas, everytime I went to Meme's house (yes, its Papa's house too) she would have a bucket of marshmallows waiting for me!! YUM! This could explain my marshmallow-like appearance today!!! Hmmmm? Why are my most fond memories attached to food in some way. Do I have a problem?

Now it's your turn........BATTER UP.....
