Friday evening, what a feeling...

Every week we seem to pick up more and more things to do.  The momentum crashes into Friday like a runaway freight train.  We are often exhausted when the evening comes.  Here At Home With the Hinsons (Ms. Sarah's blog), we look forward to chillaxin' with the family!  Tonight's particular agenda is no different than most Friday's, therefore I will give you a little peek into our world!

The most important thing is dinner.  This can make or break a Friday evening, especially with Joseph and James being an integral part of Family Friday Night!!

Tonight's particular fare was a couple of cheese pizzas, garlic bread, and some sweet tea.  We actually tried a couple of the new sandwiches as well.  We feel the Habanero and Buffalo chicken sandwiches were particularly tasty.  The only downside was that the sandwiches seemed to be a little chicken poor.  At five bucks a sandwich one would expect to walk away with a little more chicken to go with all that bread.

Most Friday's we try to watch a movie or some television together and this evening is no exception.  With baseball practices, church, and LOST, it is hard to keep up with much more during the week.  Because of the aforementioned, tonight while "decompensating" (Sarah's newest word) we enjoyed catching up on American Idol.  For all its faults and sometimes quirkiness, American Idol still entertains and is enjoyable for the whole clan.

I know you are wondering where the Life Advice comes in to this post and I promise there is some coming from an unusual suspect.  Hold on.  I will tell you that this post is already dotted with advice starting with family night at home enjoying each others company and just being together without a deadline or homework.

Who is this unusual suspect I was talking about???

It is none other than................................................

I know, you didn't expect Mr. Cowell as being someone that I would use for Life Advice.  While watching Idol with you guys he gave a wonderful quote that I felt was one of the best quotes I have heard in a while.  It rang so true that I felt it should be shared with you again in this post.

"The only time you should be nervous is if you are useless."

Read it again, with an English accent.  Great Advice.

Friday's and Family....It doesn't get any better than that!!

Big Daddy of Chillaxin

Princess talk has led me to think about my Queen!!

No, I am not talking about Queen Elizabeth.  However, her Lady in waiting has corresponded with us in the past.  We'll talk about that in another post.

No, I am not talking about Freddie Mercury and his band.  I will say that they were pretty awesome.  Great songs such as, Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites the Dust, and A Crazy Little Thing Called Love, just to name a few.

Without a doubt, Queen had the greatest Side A and Side B "45," of all time.  We are the Champions, back to back with We Will Rock You, will forever be played out as an anthem of my youth for the rest of my life.

One of my Top 10 songs of all time was sung by Queen and David Bowie- Under Pressure.  Funny how a young man by the name of Vanilla Ice would later take some of the music from this song tweak it just a little and forever by remembered for Ice, Ice, Baby, which owes a lot of its success to Under  Pressure.

All of that is great, but none of this can hold a candle to my Sarah!

Although it is a great song, no I am not talking about Hall and Oats classic song Sara Smile.  They spelled it wrong.  Don't get me wrong,  I do love Sarah's smile.

Eventually if you live long enough and the good Lord blesses you well, your Queen will come along and sweep you off of your feet.  Well let me tell you, I was BLESSED!!  Looking at my sweet love's picture you know it was all a God thing.  In the country, I would be told that I out kicked my coverage.  You know what, I did!

The great thing about my Sarah is that I got the total package.  Grace, beauty, and smarts!  And to top it all she still loves me in spite of myself.  God has richly blessed me with a woman I don't deserve, but I'm tickled I got her anyway.

A Christian woman with a "Heart of Gold".  The wonderful thing about Sarah is that she is my Ms. America as far as her looks are concerned.   The icing on the cake is that she is Ms. Universe as far as her heart is concerned.  Beauty on the outside and even prettier on the inside, I've got to say I stumbled across my once in a million chance and won!!  

                                                            

I am the luckiest man in the world I tell you.  Thank you Ms. Sarah for saying "Yes," when everything inside was surely screaming, "No!!!!"

The reason for posting this today is to put my little woman up on a pedestal, but more importantly, we heard from our adoption agency today.  We are going to be placed with Ms. Emily Margaret much sooner than we expected.  Maybe within the next week.  This means She will be home in time for Christmas!!!  Sarah, the love of my life, our little girl is coming home!! I can't wait!!

God is GOOD ALL THE TIME!!

Blessed beyond my wildest dreams,

Luckiest and Most Thankful Big Daddy
