Drive-in Time
10:54 PM
Tonight the older two and I went to a Drive-in! I have not been to one in YEARS and the kids have never been. I used to go with friends in high school to one in my hometown, and then after college with another group of friends a ways away from us. We'd go to these caves during the day, then go to the drive-in and play cards until the movie started. So much fun! Lots of great memories!
I saw that there was one close to here so decided that was something we needed to do. They have SIX SCREENS!!! That is so crazy to me! The only movie that was appropriate was Night at the Museum, and it was a fun night! (Except that at one point Braeden spilled his Crystal Light all over his WHITE Gymboree tshirt - hope it comes out!) :)
I loved watching Olivia tonight. A couple boys and their dad were playing four square near us. A little girl went up and asked to play and I watched how wonderful that dad was and how he incorporated her into the game. Shortly Olivia asked what they were playing and I explained it to her. She asked if she could go play and I encouraged her to, she had so much fun! Then some girls near us started jump roping and I called Olivia over and asked if she wanted to do that and she did, she had SO MUCH fun! :) It was great to see, she can be very shy and doesn't always understand appropriate ways to relate to other kids. She did great, and Braeden and I hung out on our blanket for a while. :)

I worship a mighty God, teach Special Ed, love bargains, and am inspired by Pinterest... come along with us for the ride!

What you should know about HIV
-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles).
- HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives.
- People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do.
Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know
Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong
Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow
Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom
But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
