new favorite christmas song.

do you hear what i hear

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepard boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace wall mighty king
Do you know what I know
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light


This girl that I know of composed some free Christmas music that you can download and listen to. She sings this song and it is so beautiful that i actually looked up the lyrics and was overcome by the powerful lyrics.

my boy is getting bigger, and i dont like it.
and my right pointer finger might get carpel tunnel from crochetting so much. I am on my 3rd blanket for a Christmas gift. I'll post some pics when i get done..they are beautiful!
and josh and i went to his fancy work party. so we had to dress fancy. here is up being fancy:

So in love I can't handle it! Meet Oliver!

so josh has been begging for a dog for about a month. I just didn't want to have any of the responsibility. I didn't want to take it on walks, feed it, wash it, clean up the poop and pee.
But we went to a few shelters and the flea market and easily my mind was changed and wanted to give one of these pups a home. Ive never owed an animal before, where I am solely the care taker, so I was very nervous. He cried the first night and broke my heart. Slowly he is getting better with the create. I Love taking him out. playing with him, feeding him. washing him. and he is the best cuddlier ever!
I am SOOOO sad because tomorrow is the first day he will be alone for more than 3 hours! Anyway......he is the best!

WE GOT THE HOUSE!

In 4 weeks we will be taking over this cute house and making it ours! Oh the butterfly's!!! :)

no one told me how much of a headache buying a house is.
Hopefully, this being our 3rd offer on a house, we won't get out bided!!

ARGG!

It's not Ok with me!

I just got done reading It's not Ok with me. By Janine Maxwell. She lives in Alpharetta, GA. Probably 10 min from my work!!! I really hope to go to Africa and do service work and talk with the orphans and give them my love. This book broke my Heart. I am so richly blessed, I have no idea.

30,000 children die in Sub-Saharan from hunger/malnutition EACH DAY.
Which means 2.9 children every year.
15 million are left as orphans by AIDS.

Janine is part of an orginization that started here too! Called Heart For Africa. I'm dying to go. I'm sure once I go, my heart will be ripped out and buried in the lands of Africa, along with Janines.

Other news;
Josh graduates in ONE week!!! So proud of him!
We are looking for houses now. It's fun. But really stressful too.
I am going to run my first 5K in Sept. I"m pumped.
Also I'm training for a triathlon next year.
Josh is doing 3 total this year!
I did 2 perms at work yesterday. My fingers still STINK!
EVeryone around me has bellies that are growing big. Kinda creepy.
I dont want kids for a while. Even though sometimes it's tempting!
One of my good friends is moving back and im so excited!!!
OH did i fail to mention....we are taking a trip to Destin in 3 weeks. for a week! Heaven!
I knitted my first baby blanket. It was really silly looking. But she loved it.

I'm busting at the seams!!

VEDERA!
October 16
Center Stage!!!!!!!!!

This made my whole day of working 9 hours doing hair, shampooing, making appointments, sweeping, on my feet all day long, SOOO worth it!:)

Should I update?

Just a little. Hubby is in Orange Beach with the dudes. And I want to look like her:





If your bored check them out. They are called Vedera.

Pam is pregnant!
Jim was brilliant!

wow.

ground breaking!!!!!!

Well, ok ground breaking for my little self.

I was working out at the gym, and towards the end of my workout (i was the only one in there which rocked) and so i said "i wonder how long i can run?'

I have this thing against running ever since i broke my ankle and messed up some cartilage in my knee...blah blah blah..

SO i started running on the treadmill and i ran a flipping 13 minute mile!!!!!! and i wasnt even that tired..i could have kept going. but my knees are aching as we speak.....

but i felt amazing and accomplished! this gym thing is addicting. I'm going to have ripped legs if it takes me a million years!!! 

So nothing too exciting with the dobecks. I'm sitting in bed watching arrested development. I'm kinda obbsessed with buster for a weird reason. waiting on Josh to return home to come cuddle with me!

Sunday Munday.

These are just a couple reasons why my hubby is right for me....

Getting ready for church this morning we were talking about fasting and Josh said a silly remark. Then I said "Wow, I bet God is like the perfect hairdresser, I wonder what kinda hair he can do." Then Josh said "I wonder what my hair will look like in Heaven." Then I respond with "What if we are all bald." Then Josh said "I hope not, because I like looking at you."

example #2

We had to substitute the six year olds in primary today and we had to pick a magnet from the board. One little girl wanted the motorcycle and one little boy wanted the rocket. So josh says "I'm going to pick a number, and whoever gets the closest wins. Ok so I'm picking a number 1 to 2, go!."

He didnt know if the kids could count to 10. How sweet. :)

We have never taught a primary class, and I get extremely uncomfortable speaking, let alone teaching a class. Even a class full of six year olds. So Josh gladly toke over and taught the class about baptism. He did a perfect job, plus...kids LOVE him. Then we played simon says, red light green light, duck duck goose and an attempt at heads up 7up.

I'm grateful to have a hubby who is always willing to try :) 

One year wedding anniversary today!

And it is snowing outside! What a wonderful gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

So I created this for Josh and it's kinda blurry because I added all these cool effects and I did it on my mac and I had to upload it to quicktime...but you will get the point! Enjoy! 

la la la .

so josh made ZUPPA for dinner on valentines day. It's a cajun meal his dad makes and boy is it good! Shrimp and scallops and pasta and spices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He did a great job, and also he surprised me with a beautiful heart necklace from james avery! here is the set up:

 Then friday was my friends 23rd birthday. We had a fun night. And this is how cute we all looked: 

So my little brother is going on a mission to Palmyra, NY! He leaves Friday...it's going to be so werid with him gone. But I'm super excited! This is my mom & dad also! 

We have had a busy month. Our lease is up march 1st. Which is our one year! So we are moving in with my parents until josh is out of school in august. It's just one step closer to getting a house...I'm so excited! 

soooo funny!

Little boy high from the dentist. I can't wait to have kids. haha. 

HE GOt ME!

In all my years of living. I didnt actually think anyone would punk me this way. Oh but he did. What a smarty pants. We got a good laugh out of this.

Then after I took this picture...I forgot about it and turned on the water again! 

We watched all seasons of the office multiple times. So we started watching Arrested development before bed and it pretty much blows my mind!  

Rest in peace.

Mr. Luke passed away this week. He was in a car accident May of 2008. Since then he has been at the hospital in a coma like state. Him and his wife Carly have only been married a little over 2 years and I cant even imagine what she is going through right now. I've never seen stronger love than she had for Luke in the hospital. And her faith was incredible. Reading her blogs strengthen my faith and my love towards others. Just wanted to ask all of you to please pray for their family, especially Carly. This just breaks my heart, but its a comforting thing to know that Luke is resting now. Away from all of his pains and sorrows. 

2 Timothy 4:7-8

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
