Friday ~ It's a Beautiful Day And I Can't Stop Myself From Smiling
































Ch'yeah, it's Friday, friends! There is a three-tiered happiness level going on right now, since...1) it's basically the weekend 2) it's a three day weekend and 3) it's a three day weekend where my family, some friends and I will be doing that Civil War reenacting thing we do at a really awesome place. So, expect some pictures of me and my peeps circa 1860's coming next week!

I feel like I'm behind in my posting lately, since I still haven't posted the totally adorbs photos of my niece's birthday from like three weeks ago or the photos of Wednesday night when my sisters and I went to that park I told you about and played on the playground like wild women, which resulted in me and my wimpy back needing a visit to the chiropractor. Yeesh, I'm falling apart already. I'm too young to die.

On a totally unrelated topic, anybody have thoughts on Michael Buble's newest album? I have lots of thoughts, some of them being "Oh wow, I love this cd!" "I can't stop listening to this cd!," and "best album EVER!" Although I have to admit to being slightly surprised at a lyrical choice on the second to last song - anybody know what I'm talking about? But otherwise, I'm in love. On repeat.

So, in other minor news, you're looking at the future Miss Kellie, Sunday School teacher for the 1st & 2nd graders at my church. It's been over 5 years since I did my two-year ministry stint as a traveling children's minister and frankly, I'm missing working with kids. I'd originally hoped to teach the 2 & 3 year olds, since my niece and nephew are in that class, but someone else got there first. Which is actually probably good, since the Auntie Kellie part of me would find favoritism very hard to beat.

So, this post served no purpose other than to say all the above, which wasn't really all that exciting. Oh well, The fact that it's Friday should make up for it.

Happy Friday and I know that I for one am very grateful for the people who've fought for us and our way of life in ways that I've never even imagined. Thanks, heroes!

P.S. The post title is a line from my favorite number on Michael's new album. Go listen to it.

  2. Congrats on the Sunday School teaching job! Kids are kind of the best, so I don't blame you for wanting to do more children's ministry. I'd love to do some of that someday myself.

    Hope you have a fantastic Memorial Day weekend! I'm also very happy it's a long weekend.

    1. Jess, Civil War reenacting is so much fun! We do it as a family, which makes it even better. You should look one up in your area and go!

      I'm really excited about teaching Sunday School, although I know I'm going to inevitably realize how out of practice I am!

    1. Ah, thanks, Kellie-twin! I'm always glad I can bring a smile, even if it's the product of a Michael Buble song. :)

    1. Ooh, yay for you, KatySue!! What are your favorite tracks? My favorite is Track 2 "Beautiful Day" and Track 5 "Something Stupid" with Reese Witherspoon. I also like I think it might be track 4? The one that has almost an 80's Oldies groove. Definitely my favorite Michael Buble to date! As much as I like new renditions of old Sinatra songs, I'm liking the direction his music is taking, with more modern, groovy tunes that are still just as peppy and catchy!

  7. Well Hello "Miss Kellie." So you decided to dive in, huh? Good for you! You'll do great and the kids will love you. Maybe sometime I can come in as a guest speaker. Just...kidding. :) See you soon.
