Text of the page (random words):
ways that s the update the next thing i am really excited about is mute math s new cd they finally announced that they are going to release it on august 18 and they are coming to dallas in october when we will also be seeing u2 and muse and going to staff retreat what a great month posted by andrea bowman at 10 41 am 35 comments tuesday may 19 2009 missouri trip we just got back from missouri my nephew wes graduated from high school so josh angela jillian and david went with us to see the sights we had so much fun we had to take two cars since there were so many of us but we had a boy car and a girl car which we decided is the best way to travel you don t have to freeze because the boys are hot or argue the whole time or talk about dumb stuff you can talk about cool stuff and be warm and make fun of the boys all day but we brough walkie talkies so on the way up there we made up a game where we each said things about somebody in the car and we had to guess who it was the boys sucked at it they don t know their wives very well but it was fun we got in pretty late on wednesday but we stayed at my parents house so they had our rooms ready for us thursday when we all woke up eric had gone to mcdonald s to download the season finale of lost and he had been gone for two hours it s the only place in town that has wifi and my parents don t have internet so the boys went over to hang out with him and the girls just lounged around the house and relaxed after 4 hours they came home and we had lunch and then went to mammoth spring i can t believe they actually have a web site for this and walked around this is one of our claims to fame it s definitely beautiful and fun to walk around they have a huge waterfall and a really really small aquarium there has been a small alligator in the aquarium as long as i can remember but i have never seen it move until this trip eric kept ticking it off just by looking at it and it would jump around out of the water it was awesome we relaxed for a while that afternoon and then went out to my brother s house he wasn t home but we got our first ticks of the trip getting ticks is kind of a rite of passage when you visit my home town for the first time then we came home and watched the office and 30 rock and then played catch phrase boys against girls of course the boys suck at that too so we dominated then josh angela eric and i watched lost it was awesome one more year friday we woke up and decided to go visit grand gulf i also can t believe they have a web site our other claim to fame we walked around and got more ticks i had like 13 before it was all said and done i ve had lots of ticks in my day so it doesn t really bother me but angela and jillian were freaking out it was hilarious angela had only had ticks the other time they visited mo with us and it was jillian s first time like i said rite of passage anyways we had a good time hiking at grand gulf and them came home and got ready for wes graduation i can t believe my nieces and nephews are so grown up saturday we went antique shopping at some of the local stores eric bought a stryper cd but nobody else got anything it was a bust and then we celebrated my dad s 66 birthday i bought him overalls that s what he wanted weird then we played a few more rounds of catch phrase and watched taken and that ended our trip we left sunday morning to come back home but we had a blast some of my favorite moments on the trip 1 angela sang a song listing the names of the 12 disciples the song ends with the line and by him jesus was betrayed 2 my dad gives everyone nicknames but the best was that david inherited the name booger picker it s a long story 3 during catch phrase josh had the word lemon and described it by saying it s a type of cake 4 spending time with my family and getting lost behind the school with my dad after the graduation while we were lost he said see now we know where they work on the buses we never knew that before 5 there are so many moments that i can t think of right now but it was awesome i love the smiths and the walkers and i m glad we got to hang out in my home town together posted by andrea bowman at 11 47 am 3 comments friday march 6 2009 i don t really know what to post but i feel compelled to write something so i m just going to start with an update although there isn t much to update on we did our taxes last night and are getting a great tax return since we bought a new house last year so we are going to pay off eric s car and the amount we owe his school which we just found out we owed because nobody ever told us so that s exciting two less bills we helped out with spin weekend last weekend it is basically a disciple now that we do at the village every year for the student ministry it was a blast it was my first time to really do anything with the student ministry so it was fun to see all the kids there and they were really involved i found out later that most of the students that attend at the village are not believers so it was exciting to know so many are comoing and hearing the gospel every week i know blake and everybody in the student ministry love those kids so much so it s just cool to know the lord is moving in the ministry also by the tree came so i got to hang out with my sweet friends all weekend ben and amy are starting a new band with the drummer and guitarist that have been playing with by the tree and they will be known as davis so be on the look out for them i m sure their music will be awesome i wrote my life story along with jillian and angela and we have been sharing them with each for the past few weeks it has been really encouraging for all 3 of us and i m so glad we are going through the study that we are i have just been really challenged to be more encouraging to people who play big roles in my life and to also be more obedient to every little thing i feel like the lord is asking of me instead of putting it off even if it s just an email or a phone call anyways that s really all there is to talk about we have been really busy but work and marriage have been good we are learning a lot posted by andrea bowman at 9 04 am 1 comment monday february 16 2009 update okay so it s time to update i kind of forgot i had a blog for a while oops anyways things are good i like 2009 what has happened so far this year 1 eric and i are learning how selfish we are like every day counseling is still really great and john has been such an amazing encouragement to us it s been so good for our marriage and our outside relationships the biggest thing i m learning is that communication is important not only with my husband but with our community so i m learning how to be vulnerable to tell people what is going on with me even if i don t think it s important it s hard but good 2 we celebrated our 3 year anniversary we went to the inn on lake granbury and it was amazing it was highly recommended by the bleeckers and now we highly recommend it too i can t believe we ve been married for 3 years it seems like only a few months still 3 my boss went to africa josh has been in africa for the past 2 weeks with jeremy pace missions pastor matt elkins missions associate dick mcfarland elder candidate and john wright elder candidate and our home group leader vernon was with them while they were in sudan as well but he s back now i thought i would be really bored while josh is gone but there has been plenty to do although i really do miss him i m excited that they ll be back on thursday but i think everybody will be we all miss him the village just isn t the same when he s gone 4 eric tried to take me out on a surprise valentine s date to kobe steaks but they don t take reservations on the weekend so we got there only to find out we would have to wait for 4 hours to eat i wasn t about to wait for 4 hours to eat so we tried the magic time machine across the street it was 2 1 2 hours as we were driving towards home trying to figure out what to do knowing that since we didn t have any reservations for anywhere it would be the same no matter where we went except golden corral so we went to golden corral it wasn t bad but don t ever get steak there it s not good all in all at least we had a good time and he got me a new mute math shirt 5 eric tried to amend our valentine s dinner by taking me to kobe steaks the next day it was a 2 1 2 hour weight soooo we ate at magic time machine cinderella was our waitress it was fun we will have to go to kobe steaks on a day that we can make a reservation 6 mute math came out with a new ep 3 of the songs are the same song just different versions and there is one other song but i still like it they also launched a new web site 7 the village also launched the much anticipated new web site it has changed my life 8 we ve gotten to hang out with lots of fun friends 9 the new season of lost started it s amazing 10 i was convicted to spend more time praying so i have committed to pray at certain times of the day every day i mean i always try to pray when i think of it but i need to commit to spend more time in intentional prayer for every day things not just big needs at the time so it s been good feel free to hold me accountable to this posted by andrea bowman at 10 00 pm 1 comment friday january 2 2009 2008 has ended disclaimer i am kind of copying off courtney right now but it s true for me as well and i wanted to copy because it was a good post i have had two years of my life that i have always said are the best years ever one was 2001 because i was a year into college and finally figuring out who i was and who i wanted to be i became close with the friends i would walk deeply with for my entire college career and longer and i experienced the lord in ways i had never experienced him before ways that shaped how i believe and changed how i lived the other was 2005 because i started dating my husband out of nowhere that year and we also were engaged soon after i started working at the village a place that i had already started serving with my whole heart for free and felt like i was supposed to be and i was introduced to mute math s music they are the best band ever so it s only appropriate while those years are still considered best years ever i will now add 2008 to my list 2008 was a year of transformation not only did the lord teach me a lot but he changed me in several ways that i definitely could have never accomplished on my own our home group met soon after 2008 started and john wright asked us what our 2008 resolutions were i m not a big resolution person because who ever keeps those but i did say that i felt like 2008 was going to be a year of growth in every area of my life and it really has been not that i m amazing and godly and without sin or anything but there have just been subtle things that the lord has asked me to give over to him and he has helped me do just that some of things include finances health my marriage my time with him work and many other things trust me he is still working in those areas and there are many more but it s awesome to look back and at least see a small difference another great thing about 2008 has been the deepening of friendships this is the first year that we have a group of friends that are our friends not just my friends or his friends it s awesome we love all of the people the lord has around us and it s been so cool to grow together and learn together on a less serious note here are some of my favorite moments from 2008 that i can remember right now in no particular order 1 playing catch phrase on new years eve with the smiths the walkers and the fox s and josh walker saying he is the guy who promotes those yellow arm bands and all the boys yell lance armstrong and josh says oh wait he s the first man who walked on the moon 2 portland with the warrens voodoo donuts arguing with john about everything especially by the tree meeting john s family et in the park and just walking around the city talking 3 missouri and memphis with the walkers the fact that they got ticks in my home town everybody gets ticks on their first visit the lady in the parking lot who took our picture and told us she thought we was special graceland the fact that they actually wanted to go to my nephew s high school graduation i wish david and jillian were there 4 our road trip to north carolina seeing ben amy and tyler in nashville seeing my family in little rock and thayer driving through some beautiful scenery learning so much about our marriage at the marriage retreat spending lots of quality time together 5 all the countless times i got to hang out with sarah even though we just run errands together because we re boring grown ups now 6 watching lost with the hofmanns especially when the eye scared us and the girls screamed 7 when dj prayed for the scarecrow at babe s 8 i love my job lunch with my lunch buddy bex working for josh and bleecker and having a good time while kicking butt the fact that i love everyone i work with staff retreat crying with isaac bleecker and john mafia pistols and pedals anytime that we have worshipped together as a staff getting to see weddings and babys being born all over the place 9 getting to know my husband more being vulnerable laughing crying and growing deeper in the lord together 10 times with our home group 11 hanging out at the burger s house for all kinds of random occasions with sarah playing catch phrase with vernon hearing titus stories seeing baby justus come into the world laughing about stupid stuff we did in college or telling funny stories about people from college 12 staying up way too late just because we are talking with our friends 13 lunches with nat pat watching lily grow up telling nat embarassing things and not being embarassed seeing baby luke join their family i love my life posted by andrea bowman at 10 53 am 3 comments monday december 29 2008 a week in missouri we are on our way back from missouri and i m real bored so i figured i would blog about our trip it wasn t very eventful but it was fun and restful we left last monday and got there around 5 30 that evening we just ate dinner and spent time talking to the family i think we watched a river runs through it that night it was my first time it was boring tuesday we woke up to ice covering everything so i didn t feel like i needed to take a shower since we weren t going anywhere we watched lost season 4 all day with my parents we got them addicted last year especially my mom which is crazy because she never watches tv or movies and if she does she doesn t care about them so she doesn t sit through the whole thing she loves it and then it started clearing up so my sister and her family came over for dinner wednesday the weather was back to normal completely so mom sis and i went for a walk then that night we ate dinner together
