June 23, 2008
Outside My Window...is complete darkness. It is 11:11 P.M.
I am thinking...that I should go to bed. But I am waiting for one more load of laundry to get done.
I am thankful for...my husband's love. Not only does he love me, but he likes me...and vice-versa. We spent all day together and it was wonderful.
From the kitchen...I can hear the hum of the fridge.
I am wearing...white no-show socks, brown capris (that I will have to retire soon because the zipper keeps coming down), and my navy blue 2007 Old Navy tee.
I am creating...a mental to do list.
I am going...to get up in the morning and go walking. I bought a new sports bra today, so I might even run a bit.
I am reading...Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas. Excellent read!!
I am hoping...that I will be able to see my sister someday soon. I always think of her when I travel down a beautiful road or see a breath-taking sunset. I want to share them with her.
I am hearing...the hum of the fridge and the clickety-clack of the dryer.
Around the house...everyone is sleeping, but me.
One of my favorite things...is coming home to a calm and peaceful house. I was out the door this morning by 8:15. I didn't get home til after 10PM. When I arrived home, I was greeted with smiles and great attitudes. The house was spotless and the four younger kids were showered and fast asleep. I have been truly blessed.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...spend one-on-one time with my children, dinner at a friend's house, a trip to the library (or maybe two), a visit to the Northwest Trek, an hour of reading a day for the whole family, a possible haircut, write a few notes, see a local play (a belated birthday outing).
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
7 kids and 23 fish. It was a good day!!!

That made me feel special that you wish you could share the sunset or a beautiful road with me. I teared up this morning. Thank you for making my day!
I miss you, Girl!!! The older I get the more I miss you. We should be raising our kids together and they really don't know each other. But then I remember our time on Earth is temporary and that we will spend eternity together. YIPEE!!!
And until then we will continue to get out of debt and then I will hop on a plane and come for a visit. Some day soon.
I love you, Schilly, Schilly Schister!
Love,
Beki B******* Buns
This is such a neat way to learn about you.
It took me a minute to see the 7th kid! LOL!
How fun!! We're taking Thomas fishing for the first time this weekend and we're excited! We're meeting up with Mom,Dad,Tommy, and some other fam. :)That song " I Hope you Dance" reminds me of working at the Friendship House in college. It would come on all the time while we were working.
