A Quote From The Game 20 Questions...

[Context: Lydia was just given the clue that the answer was a director who has also acted]


Is it that M. Night Sha-ma-ma-layan guy? --Lydia

Heart's Cry

This might hurt, it's not safe

But I know that I've gotta make a change

I don't care if I break,

At least I'll be feeling something

'Cause just okay is not enough

Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions

I don't wanna go one more day

Without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,

"What if I had given everything,

instead of going through the motions?"

No regrets, not this time

I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind

Let Your love make me whole

I think I'm finally feeling something

'Cause just okay is not enough

Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions

I don't wanna go one more day

Without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,

"What if I had given everything,

instead of going through the motions?"

Take me all the way (take me all the way)

Take me all the way ('cause I don't wanna go through the motions)

Take me all the way (I know I'm finally feeling something real)

Take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions

I don't wanna go one more day

Without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,

"What if I had given everything,

instead of going through the motions?"

I don't wanna go through the motions

I don't wanna go one more day

Without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,

"What if I had given everything,

instead of going through the motions?"

Take me all the way (take me all the way)

Take me all the way (I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)

Take me all the way (through the motions)

Take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions

Road Triiiiiiiiip!!!!

A two day conference that counts for work time afforded me the day off today.  So, Kevin and I pack up and headed south for a little field trip to Ruby Falls in Chattanooga!  It's been a long day and we're both exhausted...so this will be mostly pictures, but they're worth it! :-D

Almost there...

Some self-explanatory sites along the trek to the falls....

Goofing off...

The Falls, head on:

The view from beneath the water fall...Like diamonds falling.

Praise the Lord He gave us such majestic wonders to behold and enjoy.

May they point us back to Him!

Fowler's 40th Anniversary

Haha--no, not us!  Silly you!

Kevin's parents celebrated their 40th anniversary on Sunday, and they let us share in on the fun!  We went to Puleo's in Maryville (highly recommend if you're in the area!).

And we showered them with technology!  They got a digital camera from Greg and Melinda, and they got a new webcam (with a microphone) from Kevin and me.  Super fun evening!  We just wish Kim and Josh could have been there to round out the "kids."

I owe them much.  They raised the man I love.   And they raised him well.

Brothers and sisters-in-law!!!!   

(Greg obviously didn't get the white-shirt memo...)

Happy two-days-after your Anniversary, Mom and Dad!  

We Love You!!!

Weekend Happenings

We've tried quite a bit to reign in our weekend activities. I love spending the entire weekend with friends, having fun, and just bumming around recovering from the week...but it means that we don't get anything done around the house or the quality time with each other that we should. Sooo....we've tried to cut back or at least limit and be aware of where we're spending our time. This weekend was a good example.

Friday, I went to a graduation for a couple girls from church (one of whom I met when she was in seventh grade!!!!), and then afterward, Kevin and I watched a movie.

Yesterday, Kevin headed down to Vonore for some assistance installing a new stereo in his Explorer (which ended up never working after an entire day on both his and his brother, Greg's, part!).

After cleaning the fish tank in the morning, I worked for a few hours at Sorenson and then went to The Home Depot to buy some flowers for our porch. It was honestly I think the first time I'd actually enjoyed myself there (sorry, Chris Borders!). :)

Check them out:

We started pretty basic: Flower, Pots, Soil.

Pouring the soil....
Planting the Plant.....
Enjoying the view!!
And these are the wind chimes Kevin bought me a couple weeks ago. I love the brassy color, and they make the most heavenly sound when the wind blows (and they sound like ska music when the wind really blows! :).

We also celebrated Mom and Dad Fowler's 40th wedding anniversary! Can you believe it!?! 40 years of marriage! I'm excited about us nearing 2! :) I'll post some pictures from that later on...Don't want to overwhelm you. :)
