BJ Not BK

 Thank goodness it's Friday.

and that means....payday, go out tonight, put on my white linen jacket, neon skin tight undershirt, white shoes, jump in my Ferrari with Tubbs, and party like it's 1999.  Sure, Monday will come and I won't have any money and everyone knows that living paycheck to paycheck isn't a "plan" but hey....you can't take it with you right?  Just kidding. 

You know that Friday is for photos.

1.  What a great week so far!  It really began for me and my family last Friday, 4th of July.  Our offices were closed so we took off to visit the Aquarium.

We spent all day looking at the fish and the divers which are L's absolute favorites.  I think her day was made when one of the divers waived at her.

2.  Someone in my family has a cabin on the river so I made arrangements for us to stay Friday through the following Wednesday...wow!  A whole 6 days off.  Unfortunately our little boy wasn't feeling well so we didn't get to stay at all.  Here is a shot of the cabin.

3. Part of the master plan was to hang out as a family Friday through Sunday then grand mama and granddad would watch the kidos Monday through Wednesday so that M and I could get away and celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary.

We ended up back at a cabin but a different one this time.

The name of the cabin was pretty funny but honestly we were both very tame.

Celebrating our anniversary was great.  We had a chance to spend time together, talk without interruption, and enjoy each other's company. 

The evening was incredible.  The food was good, the weather was outstanding, and I was with my girl.  What more could a man ask for?

4.  Speaking of anniversary....Happy Anniversary Love!

here is a song just for you....

5.  What are you reading?  Me?  1 John, The book on Whitfield, a book by Piper, and occasionally I glance at a bout 4 other books piled up on my nightstand.

6.  What are you listening to?  I have been going through a preaching series on doctrine on my ipod that has been fantastic, listening to the new Coldplay and love it with the exception of a couple of songs, listening to the new Jack Johnson, and some Molly Hatchet, cause you know I love flirting with disaster.

7.  Weekend plans anyone?  Me?  We have quite a few come to think of it.  Tonight we have family coming in from North Caroline and Richmond.  We are looking forward to having a cookout with a large group at our place and late tonight me and M are planning on sneaking off for chocolate fondue to officially celebrate year #10 as today is the official day.

8.  Pet Peeve #3 is on the way....beware!

9.  Bad Poetry Friday anyone?  Here goes.  Please hold all applause until finished.  

The rose is thorny, yet beautiful, delicate, yet enduring, red, expensive, and now....dying.   

10.  Thanks everyone for reading bjnotbk this week.  My prayer is that you will be entertained and encouraged or challenged each time you stop by.  I am also praying for you, my readers, that is, so be encouraged in knowing that no matter what someone, somewhere is praying for you.  Now go read your Bible, love your family, lover your neighbor, get outside, and love Jesus!
