Jolene ... that same thing happens to EVERYONE ... I get insecure when I go on other people's blogs and see how amazing THEIR'S are and how often they write and etc. etc. and I feel TOTALLY INADEQUATE each time I see them. .. ESPECIALLY YOURS!!! You are the freakin QUEEN of creativity!!! Not a freak. And you are soooo dang nice. And everyone comes to your blog! Look at your evidence, my friend, the whole freakin planet loves you. Well ... if you listen to metaphysics, the planet is perfectly balanced at all times, meaning that HALF of the planet dislikes you, and HALF of the planet likes you. The book of Mormon says the same thing. Opposition. So ... I'm thinking that regardless of what the voice in my head says: HALF OF THE PLANET thinks I'm freaking amazing! Woo hoooooooo! (But I truthfully think a little MORE than half of them think YOU are amazing.) Ha! Shut up voice in my head. I am amazing and so is Jolene. and everyone else who is reading this post. hee. p.s. I thought you looked HOT in those cool sunglasses. And I am going to copy your party displays when I put out my food for Hannah's graduation party.<BR/>I'm in the half of the planet who LIKES you, in case you were wondering.<BR/>Love! love love love love!

It's hard when our loved ones are in harms way and we can't talk to our friends and family about it. We actually had a ruckus not too long ago on our command's military wives message board. A girl, new to the military and our command posted some information on her husband's mission and everyone jumped on this poor girl. I thought that maybe if it had nicely been explained to her it would have been better than attacking her and the resulting outcome, and I said so too. I thought it had all been unnecessary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736266.post-32720008206408990752007-06-15T12:34:00.000-07:002007-06-15T12:34:00.000-07:00wow, a room full of creative talented women!

Don't worry! I am not even sure what my talents are. I scrapbook but I wouldn't say I am a talented scrapbooker. At least you know what yours are.

I also love reading about your family and the humour you use in sharing your stories makes it a really fun blog to visit. I have two military (Canadian) brothers who have just recently "retired" from the military (they seem so young to use that word) and I can only imagine how much thoughts of your son must dominate in your mind.<BR/><BR/>We take the creature comforts we enjoy forgranted and I was certainly glad to hear your son has access to air conditioning now in his vehicle. Small comforts, but so incredibly necessary over there. Best wishes to you and your family and I will continue to visit!!<BR/><BR/>LindaElle Jay Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045994700772740593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736266.post-46057862548172952442007-06-15T03:58:00.000-07:002007-06-15T03:58:00.000-07:00Jolene, I've enjoyed this post so much.

Enrichment night sounds amazing and what a great way to get to know everyone.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting a larger wedding picture of Brek and Brittany...so very lovely and sweet. I've always enjoyed weddings and the pictures. Even when a wedding is on televison I like to watch. <BR/><BR/>So glad Chad can IM you. I know it helps to hear from him on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>Off to work for me...have a great day!

Such a beautiful and fun picture from the wedding! I can see why you like it so much! Glad Chad finally has some AC to drive around with!! Sorry about your Suburban. Our Tahoe is plenty old and I just pray that it doesn't die on me 'cuz I would have nothing to drive for quite a while!!

You are so talented! And I was LOL about your van/ghetto comment. We all feel that way at certain times. If people want to judge us based on what we drive or how we look, then they aren't worthy of us anyway!<BR/><BR/>I would love to hear more updates about Brek, Brittany and baby Mark. Did they end up moving nearby? How is the pregnancy going? What is baby Mark up to? And how is Cole doing with the move - has he had any more outbursts when seeing his old friends?<BR/><BR/>Hang in there, hope your finger feels better soon!<BR/><BR/>Lara in CAlarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05710458004066606550noreply@blogger.com
