Latest obsessions...and random updates!

I told you a few weeks back that my brother-in-law, Justin, made it to Kona, Hawaii to compete in a very prestigious Triathlon that he qualified for after getting 2nd at a Louisville, KY Ironman, and he is in Hawaii RIGHT NOW! Kathy, Dick, and Danna, are all there to cheer him on!

He races this weekend, Saturday I believe, wish we were there too!!  But we can still cheer from Iowa!!

Do you have any TV shows you just can't hardly bear to miss?  I DO!

I have become OBSESSED with two shows.  Unfortunately, I only get one of the channels that one of them comes in on.  I absolutely LOVE Parenthood on NBC.  It is on Tuesday nights at 9pm Central time.  Best. Show. EVER! 

Here's the awesome cast!

It's about life, and that's what I love about it.  Life is hard sometimes, really hard other times, and really great other times...you get the picture.  This show has so many different issues going on at once, but it's like I have known them the whole time!  Some of the issues are:  Getting a job, deciding to have another baby, dealing with a special needs child, finding you have a son that you never knew about, and working to save a strained marriage.  REAL. TRUE. LIFE.  Can't get much better than that!  This is the channel that I actually get, so I am tuned in every single week!  Check it out if you haven't already! 

Next up is one I found randomly on Hulu.com.  Hulu is a great website if you ever miss an episode for one of your favorite shows, it has tons of TV sitcoms, cops shows, anything! Anyway, the show is called Glee! 

This show is AMAZING!  I know this show is on Tuesdays as well, but I only get to watch online, so not sure on a time for this one.  I can't get enough of them!  It's a show about a bunch of kids in "show choir" called Glee Club.  They have to try and hold their own and work together to do well in competitions, and in life/school.  This is a show where they sing, a lot, so if you're not into that kind of stuff you might not like it...

They sing all kinds of music, from rap, pop, county, gospel, and everything in between.  Also really cool about this show is the actors/actresses sing all their own songs.  Yes, they pre-record and then choreograph to the scene, but I think it is so awesome that those are their REAL voices!  This show I watch on Hulu, since alas I do not get in the Fox network on my 4 channels...check this one out too! 

On a side note, I'm teaching my 3rd and 4th grade Religious Ed. students about Creation tonight...God is truly amazing, bringing light into the world, grass, plants, animals, and us.  All from.....nothing.  Nada. Zilch.  I am so thankful for getting to teach these young children how wonderful our God is and all that he has done for us.  God is good, life is good...peace out Girl Scout!
