What About Jonathan???

I stole this cute idea from a friend's blog (thanks, Jessica). There is a website that will rank the words you use most often in your blog and place them in a cool random display. The more you use a word, the bigger that word appears. Clearly, I'm too obsessed about the "rooms" in my house since "room" is as big as "kids" and even larger than "Brian". That's just wrong!!!

My biggest sadness was that Jonathan didn't even make the list. Brandon is there just as large as Aubrey, but no Jonathan. No mention of Jon, J-Dawg, Jon-Jon, Juan Paco (the German Taco), or any other derivative of Jonathan.

I like seeing the words: becoming, friend, daddy, sooooo, fun, home and many others. But it hurts my heart that Jonathan isn't there. Really??? How is that possible? Soooooo, with that in mind, I'm trying to change the stats. Let's see if this helps: Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan. After posting this I'll go try my luck again and see if I can be saved from shame! (sorry, Jon-Jon)



UPDATE: After my experiment with adding Jon's name, here is the new word display. I think this is a testimony that you can repent and experience true change! That should satisfy my feisty 4th grader! Ha!

What a Difference a Day Makes ....

... or many, many months. ha! I have a lot of catching up to do, but since I had the last post being our destruction job, I might as well show off the "after" picture. Then I can say I'm officially working on my blog.


See the little critters that are happily resting. The dog is our sweet Chance, and the kitten is one of our newly acquired fosters. (That will be a future post.)

We picked a burnt orange for the accent in this room since Aubrey and I both love fall colors. I now wish I would have been bolder with the accent color, but it really is a great room to hang out and watch movies. It is one of our favorite rooms for gathering together! We still have to finish installing the surround sound, but even with the speakers leaning on the edge of the couch, the sound is AWESOME!!! :)
