how do you mend a broken heart

-
It hasn't been that long since I was in high school. It wasn't so long ago I had boyfriends who broke my heart.

But now it's not my heart being broken. It's my sister's. My poor baby sister had her boyfriend of a year and a half break up with her. He says because he's being deployed overseas that she shouldn't worry about him for the next 3 years and should have fun in college.

I told her that wasn't fair of him to make that decision because if she wants to worry about him while he's overseas, that's her choice. And she can still have fun in college.

I just don't know what to say to her. I feel so bad and wish I could be there (not that me being there physically would help). I want to slap him for making her heart break. I want to yell at him.

Should I? No, I know that would make her more angry. I just wish I could take it from her.

Sounds familiar. The same thing happened to my parents. Needless to say, it was meant to be because they ended up back together when my dad got home and have been married 41 years. If things are meant to be, they will be. Destiny has a way to bring two people together again. My husband and I broke up for 5 years and he is my soul mate! We were just too young the first time around.

sounds more like he either does not want to be with her or he really loves her! She's young, this will pass!!

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
