Oh Happy Day!

I know how excited I get when I receive a return letter from a Soldier I've written to, so I can only hope they were half as excited to get my letter as I am to get theirs! 

In light of that, I wanted to share this sweet card we received from a soldier to whom we sent a Christmas card and one of our pictures.  It is always nice to know that the letters and cards we have sent were received and enjoyed.

 

May God Bless Our Troops & Return Them Home Safely!



Don't worry Romelle - you all are definitely in our prayers!

 

**He did write out our names, but for privacy's sake I covered them up.





Merry Belated Christmas

It just occured to us that with the craziness of December, buying Christmas gifts and member trips to Panama, we forgot to "reveal" the end results from our Christmas Photo Shoot!!  Our sincerest apologies.... We hope you enjoy :)

 

 

Silent Night

 

 

Wishing you all a Safe & Happy New Year from the chicas at Totally Time-Worthy Tuesdays

 

A Not So Silent Night

Anyone who's ever been a part of a Time-Worthy Tuesday knows it's never a very quiet occasion.  Especially when we haven't seen each other in awhile and tonight was of course no exception :)  We clipped a lot of coupons and then decided it was time to watch a Christmas movie.  We watched so many last year, but just haven't had time this year.  It was finally decided that we should watch "The Christmas Card" - a cheesy and predictable movie, but we enjoyed it nonetheless.  Richard & Luke totally made the movie, their shenanigans made us chuckle while Faith's awkwardness made us grimace.  Seriously - who walks into a restaurant and starts eating food left on the table?

Luke in regards to Faith's engagement: "So I'm sure you've heard the news.... Richard is wearing black."


Well in light of the movie we watched, we just wanted to take a quick moment to remember those deployed - enjoy this lovely poem as a reminder of their sacrifices:

 

A Soldier Is A Gift

 

As we celebrate Christmas, and we open our gifts,
we realize what priceless gifts a soldier gives to our country—
the gifts of patriotism, service, and deep dedication to our nation.

 

As we feast on a variety of fine Christmas delicacies,
we acknowledge that a soldier personifies a variety of fine qualities:
courage, good character, honor, fortitude amidst hardship,
persistence in subduing evil, and bravery in the face of danger.

 

A soldier is a cut above the rest of us,
doing jobs we could not or would not do.
While we are surrounded by Christmas comforts,
we remember soldiers in places we would not want to be,
bringing the gift of adaptability to any situation,
no matter how harsh or difficult.

 

As we "ooh" and "aah" over the Christmas lights and shiny ornaments
we recognize that a soldier gives us the most cherished gift of all,
the shining light of freedom.

 

At Christmas, let us wrap our hearts and minds
around our treasured soldiers.
May they understand how very much their service means to us.
Let us send the Christmas gifts of love, respect and admiration
to our steadfast, loyal, magnificent warriors
and their essential civilian support staff.

 

They themselves are the most precious Christmas gift of all,
our protectors—our soldiers. by Joanna Fuchs   

 

Happy December Everyone!

We have unfortunately been remiss in answering our most recent poll question.  The crazy chicas of TTWT have sent just over $16,000 worth of coupons to our Air Force base in Germany!!  Thank you all for your help in our efforts to support our troops.  I'm sure some of you have by now noticed our new blog header - courtesy of our Christmas photo shoot.  We have 18 cards signed and ready to send to various soldiers wishing them a Very Merry Christmas. 

After the last Cat Fail video so many of you enjoyed, I thought we'd share another one.  Check out this little guy's dance moves:

Don't you wish you had his skills?

Well I hope you all have a wonderful 1st day of December - Zapatos!

Together Again At Last

Hard to believe, but due to the demands of life we haven’t all 5 been together in quite a while!  And so, this Thanksgiving, we are thankful to God for our family.  We’ve been so richly blessed – more than we deserve. 

We got together last night for a Christmas Photo Shoot and we had a blast (as we always do when we're together).  Thanks to the wonders of Pinterest we were able to borrow some great ideas for a Christmas card photo.  We wanted to make some cards so we can send them to our troops and a photo just makes things so much more personal.  So unless you happen to be one of the lucky individuals receiving at TTWT Christmas card, you’ll have to wait until Christmas for a glimpse of our Christmas Photo.  We really wanted to replicate this photo – but thought it might be too dangerous J

As we have often done in the past, we thought we’d let you know our opinion of the new movie Pitch Perfect.   In this case, we are a bit divided.  Definitely funny, but the opinion of how funny varies by person.  Regardless, the music was beautiful – those involved had wonderful voices and tons of talent.  Our biggest gripe was the “Vomit Scenes” – they were totally unnecessary and could have been left of the plot entirely.  Not sure what the writers were thinking when they wrote those scenes – I feel as if it detracted from the movie and the plot as a whole.  The “Flying Burrito” scene however – was quite humorous.

We’d also like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Skylar Astin (he plays Jesse in the film and he’s quite good looking):

And since it’s been awhile since we posted some men – here’s one more for good measure -

And so we wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
