where to begin

ah, where to begin when you seemingly have nothing to type about? well, i must start somewhere- i am tired of my most recent blog being about a camel...

oh ok, i'm sure this will spark some controversy- - if you're not from around the "Big Country" area, you may not know what House of Yaweh is or how CRAZY they are... they're pretty much a cult. seriously. everyone changes their last name to the last name of their "leader", Israel Hawkins. ANYWAY, Mr. Crazy Hawkins is predicting that on September 12 of this year, a nuclear war will break out and within 5 months, the world will be destroyed. Also, 2 million Yawehs (we like to call them yay-hoos) will be moving to the Clyde/Eula area- because apparently this area will be spared. HA.
Muslims believe that on August 22, merely 7 days from now, the Earth will come to an end... something about Allah and all that jazz.
ah, what to think of all this... if you are a follower of Christ, as am I, you know that in the Bible, the end of the world will begin with unrest in the middle east- well- when is there rest in the middle east? seriously? and the Bible also says that we will not know the day nor the hour that Jesus will return... so i'm left here thinking... hmm.. what IF Jesus did come back in 7 days? and it makes me sad knowing my son will never be able to grow up and that I will never be able to be mother to another child... but then again, in Heaven, i would have WAY more happiness than here on Earth. it's such a mind-boggling concept... the end of days, that is... so, if you think the end is coming, you better get right with God! if you don't think the end is coming... well... you still oughta get right with God. cuz He's great.

ANYWAY, total subject change. Scott's birthday was 3 days ago. It ended up being a really fun day. I've been sneaking around making plans and i was proud that he was happy at the end of the day- he's kind of hard to impress. i wanted to make it a big deal without making TOO big of a deal- he wouldn't have liked that. he was just poistive that nobody was going to make him a cake and that i surely wouldn't make him cupcakes (like i have done every year for the past 4 years) so i just let him go on thinking that no one was doing anything special for him and that it was no big deal... well, i made him surprise cupcakes (thanks to Virginia, Scott's grandmother, living next door) and planned a dinner at Towne Crier (it's like 3 blocks from Scott's mom's house) and had Scott's mom, grandmother, me, Lincoln, Scott, my parents, and my brother (Matt) and his wife (Candace) all planning on going- all of this without Scott knowing... we also did a nice job with presents and such. it wasn't much of a big deal, but it turned out to be a great day... we were in the middle of dinner and i went out to my parents' car (they hid the cupcakes in their car for me) to get the cupcakes, and came back into the restaurant with his FAVORITE cupcakes, and that made him really happy. Lincoln also enjoyed the cupcakes. He ate the icing first, and, looking rather similar to Santa Claus, continued to eat the remainder of the cupcake. We got some cute pics- i'll get them up when possible...

my son will be 2 in 9 days. freaking whoa.

ummmm ok well i have nothing else to type about so i hope you are all having a wonderful Tuesday and au revoir!
