There, that should get your attention.
Seriously though, I've added stuff to my wish list, and I hope to one day have it all. But really the gift cards are really just for Charleston...so if you want to help me out getting food on my birthday, the gift card would be a good choice. Haha. Both of those restaurant we are going to on the 26th, so getting them to me before that date is crucial...or we won't be able to use them for quite some time. K? Thanks. But seeing as how I'm not expecting a present from anyone, nor should they feel the need to get me anything, it's not a big deal! Haha. This is just, if you're feeling nice and want to put a smile on a girl's face on her birthday...or before it. Haha. This is just blabbering, I'll shut up.
Anyway, naturally there are threadless shirts I want. (I'm a girly small...just for the record)
One being this one:
It just makes me laugh, so naturally I want it. :)
And this one:
It makes me laugh really hard, and I love the colors! :)
AND this one:
I think this is adorable! It makes me smile and go, aww! :)
On another note, one of my gift wishes has been filled by none other than Kevin himself. I am pretty sure I've already said something about that. But yes, he got me the bookcase I've been wanting! It is put together, I just need to figure out where I want the shelves to go and then I'll take pictures of it. Because I know you all are dying to see a bunch of slabs of wood nailed together!
Yesterday morning I went to church for the first time in a couple years. My mom had issues with the church we had been going to, and we stopped going. But she has been wanting to go to church again, just not that church. Someone who had been going to our church and had switched called my mom the other day. She found a church in Christiansburg and she really liked it. St. Thomas it's called. So we went, and it's smaller than our church, but everyone was really nice and it is very similar to my church. I think the only real issue I have with it, well...other than it being in Christiansburg...is that they say the more modern version of the Lord's Prayer. I prefer the original more traditional version.
This is the version I like:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
This is the version they say:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be your name,
You kingdom come,
Your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
And deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
Now and for ever. Amen
But I guess I can get over that...haha.
Later that day, I went to the weather station. It was quiet because it was a beautiful day with no rain to speak of. Dennis showed me this new project he is starting to work on called CoCoRaHS. It's interesting, they educate ordinary citizens to record rain, hail, and snowfall everyday. I think it's to find out patterns and such around the US. It's just now coming to our area, so not very many people are doing it in VA yet. So it's Dennis's job to get the word out! Then we went out and Phil has a new toy. It basically is a device that connects him to weather and such via satellite when internet or phone service isn't available. After that he showed me pictures and videos of his trips to GA and CA where he helped predict weather for people who were fighting the fires. He explained how he got into it and it was all very interesting. I just didn't end up leaving until around 10, and I was suppose to leave at 9. Haha.
