my brother and dad crack me up.
their dry humour is something that always
makes me wanna fall over.
seriously, my dad is so blunt and ridiculous if you
didn't know him you could think he mean.
but geez that man has a heart of gold.
while i was home, both dad and joey
had THE funniest status updates on fb.
i saved them as a word document for
"hard times" and though
not really struggling today like i know is possible
for this overly emotional heart,
i still wanted to laugh.
so, open the document i did!
...and, of course, i had to share!
Joe Strangarity: quote of the day from my dad (while taking down christmas decorations, which makes it even better) - i'm gonna rip your freakin brain out through your nose. hahaha
Joe Strangarity: new quote of the day from my beloved father (after I was giving him n my mom some beef about their age like all children love to do) - "We may be decrepit, but were not dead yet."
Joseph William Strangarity (dad): yea, so it's next year and I'm working again. GAG!
Dad: Merry Christmas to one and all!!! Tonight's the night for all of us kids at heart and you know who you are! Bring it on, Santa.
Dad: DING DONG, this stupid year is almost over!!! Party smarty tomorrow night all of you. I don't want this year starting off with stupidity and dealing with sadness
and i just found this yesterday...my dad had this as his status the day i left to return back here.
makes me cry every time i read it.
makes me cry every time i read it.
Joseph William Strangarity: Well, today a light goes out in America and a light goes on in South Africa.
every girl should have a father who believes in her that much.
love you, daddy!!
and because today is my mom's surgery.
here i am with these two lovies on New Years Eve.
also: completely forgot that when i laugh...
...the boys automatically laugh too.
they are currently eating their breakfast,
hence, my "semifree-time" to blog.
and i'm re-cracking up reading these posts again
and they are laughing so hard too!
perfect even grabbed his belly like i do!
HILARIOUS!
its good to be back with these little boys.
i think i've hugged and kissed on them so much.
but, not enough to satisfy our three week separation.
i'm excited with how much English they have
remembered.
and i'm excited about how willing they are to hug me right
back.
they are the best.
for all my apprehension and thoughts on NEVER
lasting the year...
today i'm so full of joy being in their presence, and
being silly with them (one dance party
has already ensured), and
teaching them, and
having lego wars.
ooooo i do really love them.
and that my friends is the grace of God in my life.
every evening thinking i'll never be excited
to teach or create another lesson
and every morning waking to find i'm so
fully of life i don't know what to do.
and every evening not wanting to be with
"the little people"
and every morning loving my dear
"little people."
He gives me just enough grace to plan and create
for each day. not anymore, not any less.
my mom prayed over me my faith would continue to increase
and i'd be like the widow of Zarephath.
and let me tell you...i'll keep waking each
day expecting him to fill me
until he doesn't.
okay...boys are done eating. back to teaching
