Things That Make Me Smile

Seeing the kids reading their Bibles on their own
Hearing the ocean
Smelling a cake baking
Remembering our wedding day
Singing in the church choir
Shopping for my family
Feeling good
Reading in the tub
A quiet house
Watching a funny movie with the kids
Seeing my kids playing a game together
Ron's little finger dance
Hearing my kids being excited about church
Watching Ron play with Faith (our dog)
Hearing Ron snoring beside me after he has been gone on a long trip
Chatting with special friends
Feeling hot sand under my feet on a beach somewhere
Game night with Brian & Kim and kids
Spending one on one time with Kim
Double Dating With Brian and Kim
A clean house
Sitting on my front porch in my new rockers
Walking on a cool evening with my family
Losing weight
Seeing my kids make a great play on the soccer field

About The Hunters

My dear sweet hubby, Ron, and I have been married for 20+ years. We began dating during my freshman year at Free Will Baptist Bible College in Nashville. He is my college sweetheart. We have ministered together in various ministries during our lives together. We pastored for 10 years in Florida. We moved to TN in 2000 to Co-Pastor with some friends of ours. The Lord has given me a fabulous provider whom I love more than any words I write could ever express. He is now the CEO at our denomination's publishing company, Randall House Publications. I am honored to support him.

Our oldest child is named Michael. He is now officially a teenager, although I don't think I'm old enough to have a teenager. He is a very sweet and considerate young man. He is my thinker and my reader. He absorbs every piece of new information that he comes across. He loves playing soccer, riding his bike, skateboarding, reading, watching the History Channel, the Military Channel, ESPN and any documentary on TV. I am privileged to be his Mother.

Lauren is our youngest child. She is just 15 months behind her brother in age. She is wise beyond her years. She has a sharp-witted tongue (which sometimes has to be tamed), a quick sense of humor and a heart for people and animals. She loves organizing anything and everything. She loves being with her friends, singing, talking on her cell phone and playing soccer. I am blessed to be her Mother.

Just the knowledge that a good book is awaiting one at the end of a long day makes that day happier. - Kathleen Norris

~I'm Late, I'm Late~

By the way...

Are you generally early or late? My kids say that "early is on time and on time is late". I am 99.9% of the time early. I hate being late!!!!!!!!!!!!! HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT Get the message? Good!

Are you concerned with being on time? Absolutely - I think it is disrespectful of the people's time to be late for anything.

If you are chronically late, do you believe it's the result of poor planning or choosing to be late? I think it's a little bit of both. A person makes the choice to plan poorly.

When others are late, does it bother you? Oh yes!!! Absolutely!! A person sets a time for something for a reason. It's rude not to abide by that.

Do you have any tips for being on time? Start getting ready a little earlier. Some people set their clocks ahead about 10 minutes. If that's what it takes then by all means DO IT!!

Yep, I'll be late, probably around 5 mins, but then again, my friends are always later than me, so they never noticed and some of them even commented that I'm always early. lol.

Well, I wouldn't make excuses for being late, since you have already said it. Planning. But for home and school tutors like me (I'm always running between homes and schools), it's always difficult to predict the time. Well, parents just have to make do with quality rather than quantity, I guess.

Anyway, thanks for visiting my blog. See you around in future. :D
