THE HUGE FISH

Friday night Ryan said how about I take tomorrow off and we go over to the coast for the day. I of course said,"AWESOME." SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, he had the idea that we would go to the fish Aquarium. That sounds like fun, but I must be able to hit the outlets on our way out. The plan was perfect and we were off for a fun day.
We had an awesome time! The kids were on their best behavior.
Brandan was so cute when he saw this huge octopus. He yelled HUGE FISH. It was pretty funny.
What a fun filled day for the McNally family.

Starbucks

You really can't get any cuter than this story I am about to tell;
Yesterday Ryan had to work after church, so I was in for a long day. I decided after nap time we would go on a trip to our favorite place Target. Morgan had been dying to spend her money and Target is always a good place to kill some time. Morgan grabbed her purse and Brandan grabbed is wallet and we were off for our shopping trip. As we were pulling out of the driveway I said, "Brandan would you like to buy mommy a coffee today?" Of course I thought he would say no because I would take some of his dollars. He said, " I WOULD LOVE TO MOMMY." These words came out of my little guys mouth. I still wasn't sure that he got the concept so I pulled up to the drive through and ordered my non fat sugar free vanilla latte. When I got up to the window Brandan said, "here you go mommy." He pulled out five dollars from his army wallet and gave it to me. How cute is that? I got my coffee and pulled over to the parking lot and got out of the car and gave him the HUGEST hug ever. It was so awesome.

Dreams

What do your dreams mean? Almost every night I have a dream and in the morning I wake up and can remember every detail of what occurred in the dream. Most people have told me they think they have dreams, but they can't always remember them. I have also had people tell me they never have dreams. Well, I do have lots of dreams and I always remember them. My dreams usually go with the day that I have had.
Last night I had a very disturbing dream. The dream started out that I was waiting for a train at the train station. While I was waiting I started talking to the people around me. I started sharing my faith and the way the Lord had been working in my life. All the sudden the people turned into people I knew and they started telling me that they didn't see that this work was happening in my life. They were telling me that they didn't see any growth in me and that I was kidding myself that my relationship with the Lord was as close as I thought it was.
WOW!!!!! I woke up and just started praying. I really felt that God wanted me to have that dream. Not that he wanted me to feel bad about where my walk is with Him, but that He wanted me to make sure that I am constantly standing up for Him in all I do.
One of my friends wrote about how people are having to make major decisions to follow the Lord. Everyday people are killed because of their choice to make the Lord first in their lives. I want to be like that. To stand up for my faith. To live everyday filled with the Lord and to do His work on earth.

CRAIG'S LIST

Many of you I'm sure have gathered that I can tend to have an obsessive personality. Whether it be food, shopping, caffeine, you name it I have obsessed about it. Well, I must confess my latest obsession: CRAIG'S LIST!!!!!! I love it. I'm sure many of you have been using it for years and think I am totally uncool that I am just now discovering it. The obsession started with Brandan's car bed. YES we found it there. The second came last week when we found the new piano that my husband has been dreaming about for the 17 years I have known him. He loves it and it has really added a beautiful sound to our home. The last item came this weekend when I found a rug. WOW this is soooooooo fun. Thank you so much for letting me share yet another obsession of mine with you.
