I love VBS

So we have been holding VBS this week at our church. The theme is Saddle Ridge Ranch.
I am the music teacher for VBS and look forward to this week each year. I love singing the songs and doing the motions with the kids. It is so much fun. But by the end of the week, I am completely wore out.

It's hard for a fat chick to move like that for 2 1/2 hours straight ya know. ;-)

I had a little girl come up to me the first night, who doesn't regularly attend church there. She was so excited and came up to me and said, "I remember you from last year". I told her, "wow am I that memorable?" and she said "yes, you are!" ahhhh, isn't that so sweet!!! I love VBS!!

I did it! All in the name of love!

Have you ever did something that you were totally petrified to do, but you did it anyway? For someone you love?

I did! I am absolutely petrified of heights! So where did I go being absolutely petrified of heights???? Why yes, I went to the top of Pikes Peak!! For those wondering, it is 14,110 ft in the air!!!!!!!! Why, you ask..... because I love my husband. I did not do it for me at all. It was totally for him. We just arrived back from Colorado, where Danny wanted to go to the top of Pikes Peak. We have both been there when we were little, but neither of our parents ever went to the top. It costs money ya know. So Danny gets this wild hair that he decides that it is on his "bucket list" now. So here we go. First we were going to drive up to the top. I was nervous as all get out. But then we decided to take the Cog Railway.

Was I still nervous?? Seriously, you have to ask yourself that question???? YES, I WAS NERVOUS!!!!!

I had stressed out all week long over this one day of our vacation. We arrived early for the train, and I set there and watched people get on and off the train. Everyone seemed fine. But me, NO! I had to take 2 xanax before it was all over, and had tears streaming down my face. But all in the name of love.

We make the trip up, which was 1 hr and 20 minutes up the mountain. At times, it was a 25% grade uphill. For those of you who don't know, that is STEEP!!! Got to the top, couldn't breath, but still trekked on. Stayed at the top for 40 minutes, then back down the mountain we go. I was never so glad to see the bottom of that mountain in my life. Danny turned to me and said "see, it wasn't that bad, was it?" I just looked and told him, "you want me to say that I liked it, but I am not going to, because I didn't!!" "I did it just for you, and hope you remember that."

So now, I can say that even though I had to take xanax, and cry like a big baby... I DID IT!!

Hello Blog World

Well hello blogworld.
I am totally new to this, but it looked very fun to do after seeing a few other friend's blogs. Who knows how many will ever read this, but even if no one does, it is there for me.

I tried to figure out what to name my blogspot, and decided on funny fluffy fat chick. Because that is what I am. Some people are very disturbed by me calling myself fat, but I am, and perfectly ok with that too. I am funny, fluffy, and fat! So I thought it was perfect to name my blog that. So here I am world, funnyfluffyfatchick!! YEAH!
