Packing

Well packing is always an interesting thing. This is the first time I have had to put all of my earthly belongings into my trunk (and back seat unfortunately). It fit, thank goodness, but certainly caused a LOT of stress. Michael was helping me, as we had all my stuff outside the trunk trying to find the best way to 'fit' it all inside he said "Ok I need something that can fit in this little spot between the make-up container and your paper shredder." I picked up what I thought would fit and said "here." He said "what is this?" And I said "It's a bag of bags." .... He said "A bag of bags? Catherine, why do you need a bag of bags!?" I said "Everyone needs a bag of bags!" (then I realized I was probably being a little silly, bringing a bag of bags when obviously that is something I could come across in Utah. The bags were an assortment of gift bags, Hollister and other cool shopping bags, and tissue paper I had collected and was sure I was going to re-use one day when I needed them...). He handed it back to me saying he needed something else, so I picked up another bag and said "Here." Then I realized what that bag was full of and said "It's a bag of containers." You know? Just in case! You never know if you're going to need an extra spray bottle for water or little a container to put hair gel in! He said "Ok I'm telling Mommy."

If I could jump into a movie...

You know those movies you watch and wish you could be one of the characters? The other night I watched "The Legend of Zorro" and definitely wanted to jump in! I would take Catherine Zeta-Jones's character Elena (since we share the same name, of course...). I like it how she's pretty, adventurous, and that she fights! Also, her husband is funny, romantic, and he's Zorro! This movie made me laugh. I'm surprised I'd never watched it before! Mostly, it was their son, Joaquin, and his sling shot that made me laugh. Now I need to watch "The Mask of Zorro." I'm sure it won't disappoint. This is definitely my new favorite movie.

Analogy of a song...

Today in church someone shared a beautiful analogy comparing our lives to a song~

Here are some interesting points that were made:

~Sometimes we want to experience everything in life at once. It is like singing all the verses to a song at the same time. It would be a mess and wouldn't sound very pleasing. When we sing the current melody of the current verse we are on, it is calming and peaceful music. Life must be lived one verse at a time.


~Another thing to remember on the journey of life is that not everyone has the same song, nor is everyone of the same verse. We are all given an individual song to sing and are given the correct notes and words which we are to follow.

And...Happy Mother's Day!

I was walking out to the car and heard some commotion on the side of the house. This was what I found. They may look upset, but I'm sure they enjoyed every second of it!
