http://okieoutofwater.blogspot.com/2014/03/inquiring-minds.html
Sunday, March 2, 2014. Recently, my dear friend Nicole Montez ( smallandsimplenicole.blogspot.com. Honored me with the Liebster Award. I don't speak a lot of German, but I do know that "liebe" means love. so basically I've been named a love-ster. As a love-ster, I am to answer 10 questions posed to me by the awarder before passing the honor on to another worthy blogger with questions of my own. Here are my answers! 1 Do you "Okies" usually reside in water? Of the preferred environment. Truth be told, I l...

Just Ami: July 2014
http://okieoutofwater.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 12, 2014. The Very Worst Winners. The Phoenix Suns have the very worst fans. Many of you reading this will be offended by that, but let me explain. See, this is actually a bucket list post about how I finally made it to an Oklahoma City Thunder game. (Two actually, although the first was a preseason game in which Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka and Collison sat out.) In my years as an Arizona resident, I have been to many. Suns games. I have, however, only witnessed them winning two. About how my...

Just Ami: Hot Chick, Cold Chick
http://okieoutofwater.blogspot.com/2014/02/hot-chick-cold-chick.html
Monday, February 10, 2014. Hot Chick, Cold Chick. Two things: I've always wanted to learn to snowboard. I hate doing things I'm not good at. (You can call me a quitter if you want, but nobody can argue that it's not fun to suck.). This year I decided to finally cross "Snowboard" off my bucket list ( See below. My lovely friend Jacki, concerned that my first experience needed to be the best. Up the mountain we went. Choosing what we thought. On a snowboard. That's all that matters! That is, unless the pat...

Just Ami: May 2013
http://okieoutofwater.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 29, 2013. Shadows, Cracks, Dog Faces and Dead Cell Phones. I've recently had a few interesting run-ins with tender mercies. Remember, the shadows are just as important as the light. More recently, I've struggled (not seriously) with a mild disappointment/discouragement in my current life situation. I mentioned in an evening prayer that I needed help recognizing the people. In my life who care about me. The next day was brutal. That thought had gone through my mind several times that day.

Just Ami: Why Seek We the Living Among the Dead?
http://okieoutofwater.blogspot.com/2014/04/why-seek-we-living-among-dead.html
Sunday, April 20, 2014. Why Seek We the Living Among the Dead? The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S.Lewis have long been my favorite book series. Earlier in my life, I was able to gain a greater understanding and knowledge of my Savior, Jesus Christ through these stories. (So much so that I'm sometimes worried that I may be disappointed to find that He isn't a lion. though I'm sure we will all experience nothing short of wonder and awe at His presence.). I do not call you unfortunate," said the Large Voice.

Just Ami: March 2015
http://okieoutofwater.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 1, 2015. This morning I read a quote on a friend's Facebook wall that stated:. Life is like an Elevator. Sometimes, on your way up,. You have to stop and. Let some people off. While it may be true that there are individuals and relationships we have to let go of in order to grow, I would argue that my life's elevation has been more greatly impacted by the people I have let on. Than those I've let off along the way. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A More Fascinating Me: Winning the Hearts of Men.

Just Ami: Crowding the Stable
http://okieoutofwater.blogspot.com/2014/12/crowding-stable.html
Monday, December 1, 2014. Last Christmas, my parents gave each of their children a small Nativity set complete with a little stable my dad built from the old cabinets they'd ripped out of the kitchen. I noticed while I was at my sister's house that every figure in their Nativity was crammed. Into the tiny stable. When I began to explain that there wasn't enough room. They can't thee the baby from outthide! They need to thee the baby! That remind me of childhood, the reunions. I wish wouldn't have to end ...

Sunday, September 22, 2013. Proud and Humble, Success and Failure: A Toilet's Tale. This story requires a little background. I live in a terrible house that is constantly falling apart. I've considered the possibility that it was built on some sort of ancient burial ground, and the late natives are breaking our stuff to get back at us.). And the two previous occasions when the toilet was "fixed.". So the toilet has been running ( insert the never-funny joke here: "You better catch it! The shut-off valve ...
