Random April posting

I wrote a lot of this last Saturday, and just now found time to post it. Today is Tark’s birthday! Yea!! I would post more, but I do not have the time to do someone as -sweet, awesome, nice, great, strong, wicked cool, dorky, loving, and great man of God type-as Tark is justice.

So in-between the busyness I have found some time to write a little. This will be complete randomness, so you have been warned. I am also very tired as I got in last night at 2:00 am after taking youth to a concert.

First off, I am so freaking hungry. I have been on this diet thing for about 7 weeks now and I want nothing more than to devour a loaded pizza or a huge burger. Yet, I know if I did either of those things I would feel horrible afterwards, so this stinks. I mean I eat, and the things I eat taste good, it is just hard. I am thinking it might be time to splurge just a little before someone gets hurt.

I do like the results of the 7 weeks though. I have lost a little over 30 pounds. Of course I was so fat to begin with, I can’t really tell that much, though I am running out of pants that will actually stay on me so I guess that is a good sign.

Work is good, but busy and stressful. This week is Holy week and it is kind of a big deal. The youth do the Good Friday service and we are changing the venue to the stage in our family life center. It has always been in the sanctuary, so now I fear it has to be amazing or people will be mad about the change, because people hate change.

Did I mention that I am starving and it is very hard to be stressed and not be able to pig out a little?

Tark is now running a Christian coffee house. Which is good for him, because it’s something he really wants to do and feels like he is suppose to do, but it does decrease our total salary a little, plus now we have to pay more for insurance. That is a little stressful, but if it is something he thinks he is supposed to do I really have to support him. He has always supported me.

Did I mention that I am starving and the stress makes it harder?

The kids are good; MG is getting to the point where school is getting a little too easy. I think it is time to challenge him more, which is exciting. Westers is getting a handle on the potty thing which is super exciting. Westers is also becoming obsessed with Star Wars. I have no idea why, except that Star Wars is awesome and so is he so I guess it was just meant to be.

Seriously though, I really need a huge cheeseburger.

This is my husband Tark.  Isn’t he the cutest thing?  This month Tark and I have been together for 10 years (as in at least dating).  I know some people didn’t think we stood much of a chance to stay together.  We married young and had a child young.  While everything hasn’t been perfect all these years, in many ways they have been plenty darn close.

Sometimes I can’t believe I actually found such a wonderful man who compliments me perfectly.  He puts up with me when I am being unreasonable, supports me in everything I do, always tells me I am beautiful even when I know I look like crap, and I know he would do anything for me. 

 

I know I am not the best wife.  I am not a great house cleaner or cook.  Sometimes I am extra grouchy and take it out on him.  I know sometimes I have to annoy the heck out of him, but he still says he loves me at least 3 or 4 times a day.  He calls me just to see how I am doing, and he gives the best hugs ever.  (This blog has to be somewhat g or pg rated so I will leave it at that).

 

He is also smart, funny, honest (at least about the important things), gives everyone a chance, and is so faithful to God it amazes me.

Some of my favorite Tark memories:.

 

  1. All our trips to Branson together.  Imagine, us, the two biggest goobers in the corniest place on earth.
  2. All of our work in ministry together.  I would never be  able to do all I do without him right besides me. 
  3. The times when we just go drive somwhere together and talk about everything.
  4. The time we were playing trivial pursuit pop culture and the category was music.  The question was “Which Beatle died in 2001”?  Tark’s answer: Herbie the love bug.
  5. Our first night in the new state we live in.  It was the day after Christmas and it was just the two of us in our new house (which was scary and old) with no furniture or tv.  We had a good time just talking and laughing on our blow up mattress.

 

Okay this could get way too long; there have been so many great times.

 

So this post is to say thank you to an awesome husband and father.  I know it sounds corny and all, but I can honestly say I love him a little more each day.
