I love the Biggest Loser and get so excited when it's on! I actually get sad when it's over and I look forward to it all week long. Pathetic, I know, but I really love it.
The only problem is that I joined a Woman's Bible Study this fall on Tuesday nights and I love it even more than the Biggest Loser. So, I will be taping the show. I know that I will probably have to stay up late to watch the show because I will not want to wait even one day to watch it!
That's exactly what I did last night as I tried to remember all of the new contestants. I only wish they would do a mini biggest loser, for people who have less than 50 to lose so that I could go!

Politics
If you know me, you know I hate politics and discussing politics. Partly because I don't feel that I know enough to discuss issues in detail. Partly because I'm a lover not a fighter! I feel that everyone deserves to have their own opinion. I like discussions, but I don't like arguments. And I feel that many people just can't handle discussing politics respectfully. So, this will probably be my first and last blog on the subject, but I thought it was worthy.
This is a direct quote from my friend Marci's husband Sean. I totally stole this from his blog because I completely agree and couldn't have said it better myself. So, thanks Sean!
"As usual during the elections I have been receiving lots of "forwarded" email smearing Obama, calling him everything from a communist to a terrorist to the antichrist. The watercooler talk at work resounds the same (on both sides). Some of us in the church have latched on to Sarah Palin like she is the God sent messenger here to fix everything wrong with the country. Its amazing how everyone else has decided on her behalf that she is now an evangelical christian. Funny, she actually has not come out publicly with her faith since she was asked to accept the nomination for VP.
My point? There seems to be a lot of hype, and lack of informed people willing to throw their vote to a candidate based purely on emotion. The freedom, and power of a democracy is only effective when you make an informed decision, and use your vote based on the facts. What will a candidate do when in office? How will they vote on any particular issue?
I asked someone the other day who they would vote for. The answer, "Oh for Obama, because I just hate all republicans" Great. I have no problem with someone voting for Obama, that is their right as an american. But surely there has to be a better, more informed reason than that?
So, know the facts.
For your convenience, here is a link to each candidates website. Check them out, get rid of the spin, and you decide."

Bedtime Prayers
Ryan has a bad habit of scratching his nose at bedtime. It's a comfort thing I'm sure. He's been scratching his nose for more than a year now, and at times it's very red and sore. I think I've tried everything to get him to stop. Mittens, tape, band aids, liquid band aid, talks, threats, & alternative "feelies". You name it, we've probably tried it! Nothing has worked, he says "it feel good". So, you may have noticed a red nose or band aids in pictures, this is why :(
I have prayed about it many times, but last week I started to consistently pray with Ryan at nap time and bedtime that Jesus would help him not scratch his nose. He's so cute and I know he's listening because the other day Ryan "put mama to sleep". He likes to pretend and when he put mama to sleep he tucked me in, brought me turtle and prayed that Jesus would help mama not scratch her nose! How precious is that? And the best part of this story is an answered prayer! Ryan hasn't scratched his nose since we started praying together. Praise God!
I've been holding off on Ryan's 2 year pictures because of this nose, that was literally bleeding at times. So, this Tuesday we're finally going for those pictures. It will be Ryan and Julia's first professional pictures together :)
One more cute bedtime prayer story. I also started asking Ryan who he would like to pray for each night. Usually it's a family member and we'll pray for that person. Sometimes all of them, but a few days ago I asked Ryan who he wanted to pray for. He responded, "garbage truck". He's so cute, loves the garbage truck. The nice guys always wave to him and smile. We prayed for the garbage truck and the workers. The last two nights it was tractors and choo-choo's. You just gotta love the mind of a little boy! We went to see the steam engine and tractor's at William's Grove last week, so I'm sure that has been on his mind.
