Off to camp we go....

We leave for Student Life Youth Camp tomorrow at 3pm and will return late friday night! We are taking 28 students and 4 adult sponsors and 1 college student sponsor! We've never been to this camp before so we're excited! David Nasser is the camp pastor and the Steve Fee Band is doing worship. It's located at Windermere Conference Center on Lake Ozark.

then we have VBS as soon as we get back from camp. Brian is teaching the pre-teen class.

breakdown of the last 36 hours....yesterday i worked till 2 pm...met Connie in Texas to give Mattie to her. drove back to ruston w/ ryder who was extremely upset that he wasn't staying w/ aunt connie, mattie, mia, and jules!!! get home...while ryder was taking a bath the water pipe busted in the wall behind their bath tub. i was just fixing to start washing clothes so obviously that was put to a halt. today brian fixed that today for cheap - PRAISE GOD! i met Sue in Saline to give Ryder to her this afternoon. tonight i'm washing clothes and packing. tomorrow we leave.

go go go go go go go! can't slow down now!

Cali was great!

i need to get our pictures off of my friend, Suzanne's camara, but here's a run down of activities...

Suzanne (the pastors wife) and i shopped from early in the morning till late in the afternoon. We (all 4 of us) at at Venice Beach on Tuesday evening...if you remember the tv show "threes company" venice beach is where they filmed the opening of the show...where jack falls in the sand b/c he's makin' google eyes at scantily clad girls. It's known for body buiders working out on the beach, beach goers in swimsuites roller blading down the sidewalk, and freak shows. We went there in the evening so the only feak show we saw was a guy that had made a hat out of an entire doll house. funny.

Suzanne and I got mani/pedi's and shopped more on Wednesday. then we (all 4 of us) ate beachside at Laguna Beach that evening.

Thursday and Friday...Strolled along Hollywood Blvd, Rodeo Drive, Sunset Blvd., saw the infamous "HOLLYWOOD" sign, brian bought some vintage shirts on Sunset blvd., saw the second Narnia on Hollywood Blvd in the El Capitan Theatre"...very cool dome shaped w/ intricate decor, met Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron while they were witnessing to passerbys...Ray was having a pretty heated discussion w/ a lesbian then w/ two other girls that came back to talk to him b/c they didn't like what he had said to them. Ray was awesome...very friendly and really cool. Kirk was nice enough. he was there to evangilize and we were takin' up his time. but HELLO you can't be a tv "star" and be standing in downtown HOLLYWOOD and not expect to be noticed. We also visited the Farmers Market.

Oh and Brian and the pastor had a great time at the conference. They got to see Brock and meet Kyle Loza...X Games motorcycle guy. and meet Rick the pastor from Saddleback.

oh yeah and suzanne and i met Jason Castro in the LAX airport...just sittin' there minding his own business till a couple of "old ladies" came and acted like a couple of teeny boppers. picture this.......here's snippet of our convo. "Jason Castro is around the corner over there" i sneak a peak around the corner, see him, run back to Suzanne, she does the same, she says, "go take his picture" i say, "no you your better at that" blah blah blah. finally the poor guy gets up and is walking toward us probably trying to get away from these psycho "middle age" women goin' gaga over him, suzanne asks if we can take a picture he's like sure, she's talking to him and i'm just standing there staring at him. i don't say anything. i just take the picture and then he leaves. noone was talking to him or anything. weird. he was nice enough.

oh and i didn't say anything to Kirk Cameron is just stared at him too. he still looks like Mike Seaver....shorter curls though.
anywoo, that's what we did, where we ate, and who we saw. pictures to come!!

Happy Birthday To Me!!


Yes, today is my birthday! i'm 29 and holding. Life is good. My family is healthy and happy. i like my job. wish we were in a posiition where i didn't have to but the hours arent' bad and i get to see my husband. The Lord has blessed me and continues to do so.

**If i could have but one wish it would be to be able to eat whatever i wanted and not worry about my weight or if its healthy or not. i seriously LOVE to eat and cook. i've been cooking a lot lately and i really enjoy it.

**For Mother's Day Brian and the kids bought me a porch swing and put it together....together ....and i love it!

On Monday we leave for California!! This trip is kind of anniversary/birthday put together. Can't wait! Our pastor and Brian are going to a conference at Saddleback and the pastor's wife and myself will be hanging out in california eating and shopping!! We will probably get to see Brock while we're there too! auny will be visiting her fam in texas..oh well.

**My weight goal was 135lbs before i left on this trip but i didn't make it and that's ok. i'm keeping the weight off - so to speak - and that's more important. i'll probably leave on the trip around 140lbs and try very hard to keep it off.

Recipe Blog...

I update this weekly. If any of you are interested in putting some of your recipes on it e-mail me at...

bsmrbritt@yahoo.com

At the moment i'm making copies of all the recipes on the site that i like (sometimes i put recipes on there that i think others may like) and i'm going to put them in 2 binders: one for my car and one for the house. i'll put each recipe in a plastic page protector so i can easily take them out as i need them. i'm keeping a copy in my car so i don't use the excuse.."i don't have the recipe so we'll just have sandwiches tonight".

Sorry no pics at this time...

Basically my hair is shoulder length w/ layers. Yesterday i got red highlights. Subtle but just enough to notice. i can't find my camera that's why there aren't any picutes.

a prayer concern for Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana


This post isn't about slamming another "Disney star" that has been "gone down the wrong road" a.k.a. britney and lindsey. it's a prayer concern. most of my friends have young children. as a mother i search for someone my little girl can not necessarily look up to but at least watch their show knowing nothing vulgar or inappropriate is going to happen. i was so hopeful for this little girl. she and her dad really seemed to have a grasp on things. they proclaim to be christians - and i'm not saying they aren't. just b/c she made a wrong decision doesn't mean she's not a christian. we all make wrong decisions - sin. it's is all the same in the Lord's eyes, granted there are different consequences for each sin.

she always wore cute fashionable clothing that covered her body. her songs were clean and fun not nasty and distasteful. last week i was sickened by the photos that came out. and others that have come out besides the "vanity fair" ones. they show a little girl that has gotten caught up in hollywood. she is 15 years old making photos for a non-teenage magazine. this mag. isn't known for it's "sqeakey clean" photos. i also read that she's going to have a guest appearance on "housewives". HELLO. sick sick sick. and as her career as skyrocketed i'll be honest, her clothing has covered less and less. if you look back at her Disney show that started in '06. she was 13 years old. she looked 13 yrs old. acted 13 yrs. old. dressed 13 yrs. old. now she looks like she's 25 and it seems that her parents have forgotten that she's a TEENAGER.

instead of trashing her, let's pray for her. it wasn't too long ago that i almost posted a prayer concern for this family. i didn't b/c i thought it might sound a little silly. but now she needs our prayers more than ever. i don't want comments on your personal opinion of her or tv or hollywood....i just want us as christians to say, "yeah we'll pray for her" and hollywood for that matter.
