May PAD 8-11

So I will be posting days 8-11 on this blog.  Day 8 was a smell you adore.  I can't really say that this is a smell that I ADORE, but growing up in Amarillo, it was a smell that was constantly in the air.  Whenever I would complain, my dad and brother would always say, "Smells like money."  If they loved it, then I loved it.  And as my brother pointed out, it has made him a pretty good living.  Now I wouldn't say it was always "pretty" but something in him just loves the rush of cattle.  I tell Cooper the same phrase when she comments on the smell here in Lubbock.  She just doesn't get it or appreciate it. What to do with her?!
Day 9 was something you do everyday.  I love these 2 apps that never let me get too busy to do these most important tasks everyday.  7:14 Prayer sends a reminder at 7:14 am and 7:14 pm everyday.  You don't know how many times this reminder has popped up right at the moment that I know my kids are playing a sport at that time, or taking a test that day, or Rick has a meeting, or we are on the road driving.... something that I know I can pray for specifically.  It is a cool app.  You can set your own prayer list and it will send urgent prayer request for missionaries or other events going on all around the world.  The bible app that keeps me on track and how that verse for the day always know what I need?!

Day 10 was your favorite word - I don't know.  Is it a word I like to say, because of the way it feels and sounds like Trimalchio? (That's the name of a character in all of the Latin stories we read in high school).  Is it a word that I like to write because it has alot of fun loops and curls like yellow?  Is it a word that means something to me when I hear it like peace.  I guess all of the above would have to roll up into one word - Jesus - as my favorite word.

Day 11 is kitchen.  Well my kitchen is bare.  Here is a pic of my empty cabinets with only paper plates remaining, my favorite appliance (love me some coffee), and a plate that I made with Cooper and some friends at Clay Cafe for our new kitchen.  Cooper said that you can sure tell it didn't come from a store.  How rude!  I know it's not pretty, but it was fun making it.  So someone please come eat coffee and cookies at my new house so I can use my new plate.  Speaking of....  I need to get busy packing, so I'm off.  Tori
