Countdown to 43 part 2

This is my continued series in the countdown to my wife's 43rd bday. These are a continuation of the 43 things I love about her...

36. She's a model of hard work (sounds Prov 31-ish)
35. She's a combination of tough and feminine.
34. She's very generous.
33. It's funny trying to watch her try to be funny.

My weekly musical (and corny @ times) contribution to my wife as she nears her bday.

My 100th post!!!!

What should this historical post be about?

How about you know your battery is dead when you have to jump it 3 times to get your car 1.5 miles. Yep, that was my Friday morning. Yes, I did change the battery.

Follow up: Alternator shot. Ouch.

Thought Provoking

This video is rooted in Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley CA. They are a mega church that was preparing to spend $60 million on a new building. The pastor Francis Chan was convicted that it was wrong for them to spend so much on a facility when so much else could be done w/ the money.

They have decided to build an amphitheater instead. Now they are giving away 50% of all that comes in.

Pretty amazing.

Countdown to 43

My wife Lisa will turn 43 @ the end of Dec. Between now and then I want to list 43 things I love about her (due to my lack of organization these won't necessarily be in order).

43. She is Zak's mom (she is a great mom).
42. She is Alyson's mom (she is a great mom).
41. She is Eli's mom (she is a great mom).
40. She is strong & independent. A quality I hope is reproduced in our kids.
39. She demands respect from her kids. She can drop the hammer like no one else!
38. She is the best mom ever! (from guest blogger ~ Eli)
37. Hot.

Here's for the hot mom of my kids...

Random thoughts

I am conflicted about Saturday. It was great hanging out with 10 fellow MMA fans @ Buffalo Wild Wings for the Couture/Lesnar fight. I hated seeing Lesnar win. He just oozes smugness.

Watched Get Smart on DVD. I like Steve Carrell, Anne Hathaway and Dwayne Johnson so that was an immediate plus. It won't go down in the annals of movie genius, but it was entertaining. I laughed out loud when Maxwell Smart was in the airplane bathroom trying to get out of his handcuffs.

This is a tattoo that I am considering to have arch over my zeal tattoo. If you are unfamiliar w/ the zeal tattoo it stands for my family Zak,Eli,Alley,and Lisa.

To try to stay motivated with running I have created a running blog to track my progress. It is here.

Reflections on New-vember 16th PM service.
~ Great turn out.
~ Great vibe.
~ I liked learning about people's accomplishments, especially our more introverted people.
~ It takes many people to make these things happen. Dave K, Dave S Sr., Josh, Tim, Lisa and Mike Kay just to name a few.
~ I did feel the sermon was off. Maybe suffering wasn't the best topic for that setting.

~ My wife gave some of the best insight of my adult life this week. Nope, I am not going to tell. But it illustrates, "he who finds a good wife finds a treasure" like the Bible teaches.
