Can anyone tell me how to add music player to my blog? I want to add the song below. I love it love it LOVE IT!!!!
By Jason Mraz
Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbyeI wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hairt
hough the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ahhh... I just love this song.

Jelly Fish
So, while doing some grocery shopping the other day the girls reminded me we were out of PB & J...a staple here in the Fisk household. So we were chatting in front of the jelly looking to see what is the best deal, YES... the girls are already bargain shoppers. Lyndsey knows to compare the weight AND the price to make sure you are getting the most bang for your buck.
So, I automatically grab the STRAWBERRY (of the least expensive brand) and start to walk away. Reilly speaks up and says that she wants GRAPE, while my first thought was that she is a traitor, I still consulted w/ Lyndsey on her preference and she too wanted GRAPE (uugh...gross girls but whatever). So I grabbed the grape too and we headed to another isle.
While on the way the following conversation takes place:
Rei: Mommy, are there really Jelly fish in this world?
Me: Yeah baby... they live in the ocean.
Rei: Well, how about we catch one and take it home, when we want some jelly we tickle the jelly fish and it will squirt it right on our toast!!
Wow!! Great idea right? Now THAT is a bargain shopper...duh, just buy the fish that makes the jelly. Where have I been?
Yes... I did explain where jelly comes from.
Note to self: Don't take Reilly if I decide to compare prices on a babies.

Random things...
Okay... so I don't have much to blog about really so I figured I would share some random stuff.
So here ya go....RaNdOm things about us.
All of the sisters in California when my little sis graduated from LMU.
We have not all been together since, sadly enough...and it has been almost a year. I just love when we all hang out together, I think it is fair to say that our personalities "compliment" each other. Jenny is the OUTSPOKEN one, Jamie is the LOVING one (well...more like a tree hugger type but in a good way), Jodi is the HILARIOUS one, I am the more QUIET ONE (not usually by choice... I just can't get a word in edge wise), and Mimi is the BOOK WORM... she usually chats for a while then has to go cram for some kind of school something (now that she is done w/ school she is teaching it, I would go crazy).
From Left to Right: Jenny, Jamie, Mimi,Jodi, Me
Here is a pic of me and my really good friend Kristin, we met just before Brent and I got married, so almost 6 years ago. We love going out and having a good time, even though most of the time we have our faces squished together in an attempt to get a good picture. She is from Iowa, and without offending anyone...I will say that people from the Midwest just have a different way of doing things. They actually have follow through, they seem more genuine, and are just so cool to be around. Kristin has been there anytime I need her since day one...she was the first of my friends to come see Reilly in the hospital when she was born, she was in the waiting room with us when she had her surgery (almost a year ago), and we just went to dinner last week. I'm sure we will be life long friends. She just rocks...and she doesn't even blog...so it isn't like I'm sucking up either. ha ha
Here is a picture of the girls and I with my beloved childhood horse Roanie. He passed away about two months ago and I have never cried so hard. He was 32 years old, so we obviously had him my whole life. He was my 4-H horse, you could take him anywhere, put anyone on him and not worry one bit. While we were visiting him this time we also set Reilly on his back and walked him around...I love knowing that he was the first horse that both of my girls were on too, and the pics I have are very similar for each of them. WE MISS ROANIE.
Okay...not sure why this one looks so distorted, but this is a pic of us when Brent came home from Iraq the first time. Holy geez...the anticipation was killer, and try finding your husband in a sea of frantic family members while he is wearing camouflage to boot!!
Aaah... but finally, we were reunited.
(I think Lyndsey has grown a foot since this pic was taken...or at least a few inches)
Yes! It is true, we have a hairless cat named Fluffy! This is her the day we brought her home. Yeah, they take some getting used to; but we absolutely love her. She has the personality of a dog...and best of all is ALLERGY FREE for Brent.
SO THERE IS MY RANDOM POST!

Open mouth insert foot
So- right after I had blogged about the things I was thankful for on Sunday morning I got a call from my stepmom that my dad was in the hospital. I seriously freaked out because he is pretty healthy and I have never seen him in the hospital before. So, after working all night Saturday, I spent Sunday morning/afternoon at the hospital. Anyone who knows my dad knows that he is a workaholic and doesn't do well sitting around. So my sister Jamie and I took him some magazines and a "gopher" which is one of those little reaching tools sold on the infomercials by Billy Mays (who Reilly loves by the way) to keep him company. We laughed and joked which was good for my already way too analytical mind. By about 1530 he was tired and needed to take a nap; so my sis and I went and had some lunch at the oh so yummy Macaroni Grill and headed home.
Gloria (step-mom) had suggested I bring the girls to the hospital on Monday to lift dad's spirits, but since they are under 12 that was a no go! Well, Lynds had AIMS testing too...so that threw a wrench in things but oh well. But before heading to work last night I had them call "papa" on his cell phone (remember the workaholic part...yes, he had it right next to his bed). I had given Lynds the phone so she could talk first, but Reilly was throwing a fit, so Lyndsey being the sweet sister that she is gave the phone to Rei where she proceeded to leave the following message for my dad:
"Dear papa, it is me Reilly...Lyndsey painted you a picture that says "Get well soon" on it, and well I painted you some art too, it is a rainbow but it isn't done yet. I hope your tummy feels better. Well that is all I wanted to tell you; so I hope you don't die...bye, love you."
Well...I was MORTIFIED!!! Here I am trying to lift his spirits w/ a phone call and she finishes off with that!! So here is our (Reilly & I) conversation after the message was left.
Me: Reilly!! Honey you don't say that when someone is sick.
Rei: Why? It is the truth mommy, I would just be too sad.
And well... when you drill into your children that they must tell the truth, you can't really argue w/ them when they do right? I was pretty much just hoping that my dad would be groggy from some medicine or just too tired to hear that part.
Anyway! The good news is that he is home now and doing much better, we are all so relieved! Reilly and I just pulled some cupcakes from the oven and will be delivering to him soon.
Oh.. and yes, he heard the message...loud and clear.

Things I'm thankful for
Since I feel like I have kind of been a "downer" lately I figured I would list A FEW things I'm thankful for, in no particular order.
- Dirty clothes- this means I have clothes to wear
- Dirty dishes- this means I have food to eat
- Long nights at work- so I have a way to pay the bills
- My long hair- to cover my bald spots... ha, bet ya didn't know did ya!
- My husband- Man!!He is good for SO many things.
- My Kids- For teaching me what unconditional, immeasurable love is.
- Doctor bills- Our health!!!
- The ARMY (also see husband)- I'm forever thankful for freedom.
- Sleepless days-nights-days again- Heck...this means I'm alive!
- The Gospel- Holy Geez...if you only knew our lives a year ago.
It is so easy to lose focus... especially in today's world. What are you thankful for?

Happy Birthday Sista!!
So today is my sister Jenny's Bday! Since she is still in Iowa, and we couldn't do lunch or hang out on one of our all day ventures I figured I would give her a special Bday "shout out" here on my blog!
Jenny- You are such an amazing sister, I wish we were here to celebrate your B-day with some dessert and coke. I love you big time and can't wait for you guys to come home! Don't worry about it though, we will just have twice as much when you take me out for my birthday!
Love ya sis!!!

Perhaps this will help
The Army Wife Prayer:
Dear Lord,Give me the greatness of heart to see the difference between duty and his love for me. Give me understanding that I may know, when duty calls him he must go. Give me a task to do each day, to fill the time when he's away. And Lord, when he's in a foreign land, keep him safe in your loving hand. And Lord, when duty is in the field, please protect him and be his shield. And Lord, when deployment is so long, please stay with me and keep me strong. Amen."
