Tim Tebow...

"When Tim Tebow wore 

John 3:16 

on his eye black during the 2009 Championship game,

 over 92 million people 

looked that verse up on Google.

 That means 

over 92 million people 

heard the Gospel just because one man took a stand."

Love this boy...

and...


He wears the "Snowden number"

Finally...

a professional athlete
that is actually
WORTHY
of role model status...

I Made it Monday...

I just finished these little wreaths

for the show I'm in next week...

and a red one too...

I was thinking of 

maybe making some of the
 little corsage-ie thingies  

to wear.

Would you pin one on your holiday frock?
Or is it

perhaps a bit much...

Twi-hards in Full Effect...

So as I've mentioned

 just a few times before, 

I have a certain fondness for 

the Twilight series.

To say that these girls

(my nieces)

only have a certain fondness 

would be a horrific understatement!

They all packed up, 

left husbands and babies behind,

and headed to LA to be involved 

(in whatever way they could)

with the festivities surrounding the 

Breaking Dawn

premiere.

With no real idea of what was going to happen,

they 

really really really

lucked out!

They got these...

which let them get access to stay here...

and live amongst these

"even crazier fans than us"

for the weekend...

and meet these guys...

and these gals...

and then got to be here...

and see them...

and them...

and THEM...

and 

ultimately get this...

A ticket to see the premiere,

at

 the Nokia theatre

with 

THE CAST!

Seriously???

How awesome is that???

I can't begin to cover

 the whole crazy story of their trip 

or post their plethora of pictures.

But I'll tell ya...

It's a fun read!

Their blogs are here, here, and, here.

Good Twilightie times...

Start Spreadin" The News...

I just got back from 

my annual girls trip to NYC.

We're sooo lucky

 to have a friend who works for Jet Blue...

(love ya Jen)

We took the red eye,
so we arrived in NYC at 
the crack of dawn.
Unfortunately for us,
the crack of dawn
 is far too early to check into ones hotel.
After pleading with the front desk, 
and seriously contemplating 
laying down and drooling on the lobby sofas,
they told us
we couldn't even think about
 getting into our room for at least 3 hours...
So...
we just dropped off our bags with the bellman
 and headed over to Rockefeller Center
(looking bright eyed and bushy tailed fo sho!)
to check out the Today Show.
(as the Today Show does happen at the crack of dawn)

The Rockettes were giving a sneak peak
of their "Christmas Spectacular"

We went later than usual 

so we got to see the beginning touches

 of  Christmas...

Hoisting the star to the top of the tree at Rockefeller Center...

Yes that IS a tree underneath all that crazy scaffolding,
amazingly gigantic...  

Were amazed at all the Department store Christmas windows.

Macy's totally took the cake...

Went to the Empire State building...

Saw Harry Potter

uh... I mean

Daniel Radcliffe 

in

How to Succeed in Business

Without Really Trying

He was even more magical without his wand...

We walked over the Brooklyn Bridge 

to eat pizza at Grimaldi's 

saw the Rockettes do this...

here...

and took a stroll through central park...

Farewell New York


Our little town blues
were melted away...
