My Little Sister!

My youngest sister, Laura, is playing soccer at Wheaton College this fall. She didn't play as a freshman, but tried out for, and made, the team this year as a sophomore. She had her first assist of the year on Friday night - I wish I could have been there, but I am so proud of her! And I just wanted to brag a little for her. Love you, Lo!

Early to Bed, Early to Rise

I've always wanted to be one of those people that is an early riser. I have grandiose dreams of everything I could do if I just got up an hour or two earlier in the morning. I would exercise, clean, read my Bible, work on my hobbies, enjoy my coffee, update my blog, read for pleasure, and even run errands. Whew - that's a lot to do! I know that my dreams are probably unrealistic, but I still think that if I could just get up an hour earlier that I could have a more productive day. The fact is that the only time I can really get any time for myself, and get anything done for myself is when K is sleeping (and no offense to Jer, but when he is not around) So an extra hour in the morning before they both get up makes me think of everything I could do with that time. Of course that would mean that I would have to go to bed earlier and not stay up late doing things like cleaning, updating my blog and watching the vice-presidential debate. Somehow morning time seems more productive than evening time. Maybe I should try it for a week and see if I really do get more done and then I can decide if I would rather get up early or stay up late. I'll have to let you know how it goes...
