The fireworks were pretty cool last night, but I didn't get any really extra-spectacular pictures. They all turned out rather blurry, so I won't bother posting them. :)
We took one of our neighbors with us again this year. I must admit that I don't like him. I really wish that I could love everybody like some people do. I feel so wretched every time I catch myself thinking about him, but I just can't seem to think of him as a nice guy. He will be moving to Pennsylvania in less than a month with his elderly mother (who will be missed!), so he was glad that he 'got to see Colorado fireworks for the last time.'
Well, that was all we did for the 4th...lol. We had been hoping that we would be able to go up to Steamboat Springs for the weekend, but that didn't work out. **sigh** Maybe next month....
Seth's birthday is tomorrow! He will be four. We were trying to decide what to do for birthday dessert, because when we have cake, he eats the frosting and doesn't want the cake. When we have brownie sundaes (sp?) he eats all the ice cream and doesn't want the brownie. He doesn't like chocolate mousse (***he is NOT my brother***), so, as you see, either he picks it all apart, or doesn't like it (how could anyone not like chocolate mousse??)
So, Mom asked him what he wanted for birthday dessert, and he says, 'Ice cream cones.' Lol... so, we don't eat sugar. We have found one **very expensive** brand of ice cream without sugar, but we had never found cones without sugar. But then.... we'd never looked. :) Anyway, Mom found some, so we are going to have ice cream cones tomorrow for the first time in 8(?) years. :D
For my birthday, Mom gave me a $50 visa gift card (not cash - so I would actually spend it :) ), and I am looking for a new Bible. Mine is rather... falling apart. But I like my Bible!! It's my friend! **But it's falling apart, and the thing is HUGE!** But what about all the markings/notes/underlined verses that can't be transferred?? **You can start over.** But you don't know how long it's taken! **There really aren't that many notes in it, and you really do need a new Bible.** Okay...
I'm thinking that I'll just use the new one at church and anywhere else I go, and just keep my old one at home. I was origanally looking for something small, but I found this really awesome one.... for $60.00. Wow. I still have one more place to look before I make the decision, but I'm not sure when we'll get over that direction.
Anyway, ya'll have a great day, and God Bless!

• Sunday, July 6, 2008 - Bibles
I'd be estatic if I actually had a Bible that was falling apart -- I want this Bible to last me, well, forever (nearly anyway!)!
I just want a Bible with none of the extra stuff on the same pages as God's word - I don't mind all of the stuff at the back, but not on the same pages. What do you like?
It also has to have space to write notes/underline verses in.
Never alone,
Jess
