Hello friends!! What a FABULOUS weekend it was!! Friday evening was a little sad. Wyatt and I went to Joy Warner's visitation. It was beautiful, there were tons of flowers there, and even more people who loved her. She made a difference in SO MANY people's lives! She was amazing! Many people were of course crying but a lot of people were full of joy (for her) because they knew she was in heaven with her Father! What a wonderful place it must be!! After we left there, Wyatt and I had a wonderful talk about life. Sometimes I just take Wyatt and my family and friends for granted not really realizing that life on earth is really temporary. We are not here for good, and at some point God will call us home. So we must live every moment for Jesus, we must SHINE so brightly for Him that people cannot help but see our love for Him. That kind of joy is contagious good friends! Whoo-hoo!! I also realized that I need to spend more time in God's Word! Whenever I am in God's Word, I often think to myself, "Why do I not get in here every single moment that I have free??" There is so much good stuff to read about! Let's live to make a difference! Make a difference in someone's life, that is my challenge to you today! I will take on the same challenge and I will pray that God will reveal to all of us someone we have made a difference through! God's love will be shown to all who live for His glory! YAY!
On with the weekend. :) On Saturday we had "Harshman Work Day," which was a ton of fun!! Adam is not really an emotional person, but I think he had a lot of fun, it was sure fun surprising him! :) Saturday evening I got to hold and kiss on my little nephew Mr. Max. He is so absolutely adorable! I love him SO much!! It is always fun to see how your friends take on new roles! Nick and Katie are awesome parent's, I am amazed at their strength and patience! (Schmickle's and Harshman's you are next!! Whoo-hoo!!!)
Sunday was awesome! Sunday School rocked my face off :):):) and the sermon was one I certainly needed to hear!! Sunday afternoon was also fabulous!! We enjoyed having all you people over!! We had a blast!! Thanks to all who came to hang and watch the game!! Thanks girls for hanging out with me and talking about girl stuff!! I cherish you all!!
Hope you all have a fabulous week!! I can't WAIT to see you soon!!!

The Week at a Glance
So it is Wednesday! Can anyone believe that it is Wednesday?? Holy cow! Time flies when you are having fun! It has been a very cool week. On Monday we visited the small quaint town of Bolivar, MO. I could never live in Bolivar, MO. I just couldn't, it is too small. Now some of you might be thinking, "Don't they live in Nixa, isn't that a small town." Ah contrar good friends, Nixa is indeed a small town, but it is a COOL small town. There are fun restaurants (we don't have many restaurant' s mind you, but the ones we have are cool!!), cool shopping places, AND fabulous friends who live in or around Nixa!! (YAY Ozark!) There is no such thing in Bolivar. Nope, Bolivar is just straight up boring, not much to do there! I am so glad it was a short visit! :)
Tuesday evening was way cool because we got to hang out with the Schmickle's! Now they are a fun crew!! Carlye and I laughed and chatted, and I think the boys did some of the same (perhaps they did not laugh as much, but I think they had fun too.) We are so thankful for those Schmickle's, thanks for letting us be real with you both! You are a blessing to us!
Tonight was family night. We usually have family night on Thursday night, but since we are having our Financial Fun Class, we had to move it to earlier in the week!! Family night is so very special to me! I have a wonderful family! We started having family night when I was 5. My dad is a campus minister so there were always students at our house, or he was often off doing something, so there were times we did not get to spend a lot of time together. So, one night we (I say "we" although I am sure I did not do a lot of the deciding about getting away for the evening, I was only 5) just decided to get away from the house and from the phone, so we could spend some time just together!! So we walked down to the McSalty's that used to reside by campus, ordered a Bear Pie for dinner and thus had our first family night. We have been getting together every Thursday night since! I am so thankful that Wyatt likes my family, he makes family night so much fun!! He and my dad often remember things that happened when they were away on missions trips. It is so much fun to hear their wild and crazy stories!! Great family, special friends, we are so blessed!

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer...
Ok, so I know this is going to be a VERY silly question, and perhaps I am totally and completely computer illiterate, but could someone PLEASE tell me how to get links on my page to other peoples' pages. (As I am typing this, my hands are going around and round, motioning that I would like to get to get to other peoples pages! Just wanted to give you a visual. :)) I am telling you I have tried everything, and my blog just doesn't want me to have other links!! What is up with this??? Laugh if you must (which I am sure you are, I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to technology), but please know that computers are not my specialty! HELP! Can a girl just get some links to her friends, the other loyal bloggers in her life? I mean really, come on now?!?!? :)
Paige, I changed my page template in your honor!! Pink ladies have to stay together!! :) Pink ROCKS!!
Thanks in advance for your help, I appreciate you all!!!

A tiny bundle of JOY!
What a week it has been!! A blessed week, a joyful week, and certainly a week to celebrate, but what a week!! :) Happy Birthday Max Powell Ramsey! Max is my new nephew! He was born at 11:15 this morning weighing in at 6 pounds and 15 ounces. He is a beautiful baby boy! He has dark hair and beautiful eyes!! I have never loved a tiny person so much! He captured my heart the second he was born! I cannot even begin to imagine what a joy he will be in our lives. I had the honor of sitting with his new mom and dad (Nick and Katie Ramsey) last night and this morning as they anxiously anticipated his arrival. We kept taking bets on when he was going to be born. Whoever won, we bet, would be treated to Cold Stone Creamery. (We all LOVE CSC!!:)) Well none of us won (and we bet like 5 times,) but he is here and he is healthy and I love him so much.
I was a little nervous when Katie called last night just as we were leaving for family group to say, "Max is on his way, can you come?" I was thinking, "Whoa, back that buggy up, what do you mean he is on his way? Stop him, he is too early, there is still so much to be done!" However, when we arrived at the hospital we waked into the Labor and Delivery room and found two of the most excited people there, I was reminded that God's timing is always perfect. Nick was beaming with excitement and Katie was glowing with anticipation. We had so much fun talking about what Max was going to look like, and when he would come. After a few minutes of stress, an epidural (for Katie, not Nick, Wyatt or I,:)), a rousing round of "Friends" trivia, a lot of waiting, even more laughter, and a ton of ice chips later, Max is here! It was such a joyful experience, it was such an honor to be there with them watching their joy come alive!! Thank you Father for having perfect timing in all circumstances!! We love you and are so thankful for the blessings you give us!
