Okay.
So everyone nowadays has a blog.
Seriously, everyone.
Interesting people, intelligent people, artists, and ...well, everyone else too.
So why not ME?
I fall somewhere in there. Some days I would fall in the intelligent and interesting category, and other days, well, not so much.
But let me tell you something: funny stuff happens to me ALL the TIME. If you know me, you realize that I am totally telling the truth; and if you don't know me, you'll come to know that I just CAN'T make this crap up!
Like just Wednesday, after discussing in Bible study that I needed more joy in my life and more gentleness to handle the family when I an NOT feeling joyful....my 21 month old son locked himself in his sister's room. Now...before you laugh and shake your head, and say so what: it was a knob with a lock for which we did NOT have a key. Just having moved into this house two weeks ago, we did not realize there even was a lock with a key hole in it on the door! So...one mommy, two contractors, and one big sister couldn't get the boy out. My husband came home from work and freed our son with a plastic file folder. Little man was totally fine inside and just thought all the attention was fine and dandy.
THIS lovely incident resulted in my husband being my hero for the day. He's a great guy. More about him later. He'll continue to be a great guy, I am sure. heehee
What do I have to offer in here? and why did I call it Mineve's Dance?
My name is Mindy Eve. My closer friends call me "min".
The dance is life. When I let God lead me, I seem to dance a weeee bit better than when I am trying to boogy down on my own. Some days I tango, some days I waltz, and some days I would prefer to sit on the sidelines and watch someone else do a "Dancing with the Stars" moment instead of little ol' me. Every day the dance changes at least a little, and I have a chance to improve my steps.
Most of my dance card is filled with my two children, Mo, age four, and her little brother, Car, aged 21 months. Nothing brings me as much joy or as much frustration as various dance numbers with these two. They are huge blessings to me and my biggest chance for growth. My favorite adult dance partner is my husband, U, who quietly deals with the plusses and minuses of living with someone like me who tends to live a lot louder and more expressive than he.
NOW I can learn new dance steps while creating a blog post! How fun! I hope that it will be enjoyable for us all. Regardless, may God bless you.
