Love is in the Air....

Can you feel it!! Can you really feel it!! I can!! My husband has been very good to me over the weekend and the last couple of day's. I really must say, he has helped me clean house and even cooked supper for me. I don't know what has got into him, but he has done things without me even asking. So for us, right this very moment, and in this very sec, in our lives... It's really Good!!! I think God above for the good feelings I feel. So for the moment in time I'm really enjoying life. There is not a thing going on right now!!! OK, got you fooled! There is always something going on with us. Right now I am planing our Valentine Banquet for church. So with this feeling that is within me, I hope it will last for a couple of weeks. So I can share with everyone at church, the love that is within me right now. I love the song Bubbly by Colbie Caillat. Her song just fit's my personality right now.

The Chorus

It starts in my toes and I crinkle my nose

Wherever it goes, I always know

You make me smile please stay for a while now

Just take your time, wherever you go

I just feel that for me Love is in the air, and I want to pass this love around.

I hope you catch it. It's a wonderful feeling.

Baby it's Cold Outside...

Where is the Snow? The forecast got our hopes up when they told us there was a chance of snow. I love snow!!! Snow cream, Snow Angels, Sledding, taking the wet white snow in your hand and having a snow ball fight. Me and my sister used to have big ones. We didn't have any other neighbor's around so we would gang up on our parents. It was alot of fun. I would rather have snow instead of the Cold Temperature we are fixing to get though. They call it the Artic Blast. With that said, it's prob going to very very cold. So silly us, we are going Scrapbook shopping tomorrow in the cold temperature. Don't really know what we where thinking when we planned this trip. But I'm excited. I will not have my three year old. I know we all love our children, but you know what, most toddlers don't like going shopping. Especially Scrapbook shopping. So this is a get away with my mom and sister. So we are going to stay warm and have a good time. Because Baby it's cold outside!!!!

A new Chapter in our lives...

I'm still here!! Since I last blog, we've had some major things happen. My mom had to have surgery on her wrist. She is doing fine. I've had to take care of her, the house and etc... Then I was cleaning up and putting Christmas away, and my back went out. I was down for a couple of days. Then my mother-in-law was put into the hospital for a kidney infection. And then my Dad had some test run on him and they found a usrel. So it has just been a little too crazy.



We have started a new chapter in our lives. We have started to potty train my three year old. We have started the pull-up method. Since he has had problems with his kidney's, we have decided to ease into the training process. He has done fair with it. He did better with me over the weekend, than my babysitter. It will just take time and I understand that. He has had been through so much with his kidney and bladder that it's to be expected. This was very funny this weekend while we where shopping he would go to the bathroom and He was very amazed at the automatic flushing system. There where times he told us he had to go and all he wanted to do was to flush. And then my husband took him to the bathroom Sat. night and he told his daddy that he was going into the wrong door. A little humor to carry us through this stress full step of his life. I know he will get the hang of it. We are just taking our time.



We also got my three year old enrolled in pre-school for this summer. He will start June 2. My babysitter is quiting and I have to find somewhere to place him. I myself personally am not ready to see my baby start school. Deep down I knew this would eventually come, I just didn't expect it to come so soon. I know it has to be done, but it's just mixed emotions right now. We meet with the pre-school Friday, the manager walked with us and showed us every room within the school. Then she sat down and talked with us and answered any questions for about 30 min. I really felt she was sincere about having Carson join in with them. So we signed up for the summer session. With me signing him up so early, he won't be on a long waiting list. So that's why we did it so early. I want him to go, and make friends, learn, and just experience life at the fullest. I feel like I've keep him inside this little shell for his protection. And know that he is getting older, he needs to experience life. So keep us in your prayers, as we take on this new adventure in life, as we celebrate the next chapter of life!!!!

Happy New Year....

Well, it's 2008 and what are you going to do different this year? I hate to make resolution, because I never keep them. But this year is going to be different. My new year's resolution, is of course to loose a little weight. But I am doing something I have never done, and always wanted to do. I plan on reading through the entire Bible this year. You see like most people, I read a couple of chapters. Or study through my lesson's. But never the entire Bible!!! So my plan is to follow the chart that is in the back of my study Bible and really read the entire Bible this year. I trust that you make a new year plan also. Things just wasn't very good last year. I felt like my faith was testing daily. So this year I plan on serving my Lord with all my heart, mind and soul. There is nothing more rewarding that I have found than the blessings from the Lord. So ready set go, Let's have a wonderful new year in 2008. May God Bless you...

Surving the Hoilday's...

Ok, It's been awhile, and no I'm not dead. Just been very busy. Yeah we survived the Holiday's. We actually made it. It actually wasn't that bad this year. We were very blessed to be off work both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. This gave a chance to spread our time out with everyone. We got to spend some time with Davids family and my family. I don't know what happened this year, but we where not rushed at all. It felt very good. We got to catch up on family life, and not worry about presents. Or at least the adults didn't worry about presents... The years past we spent the night with my mom and had Christmas Morning with her. Here is Carson Opening his presents Christmas Morning. This was the very first Christmas Morning at my house this year. We did the whole Santa's milk and cookies. And yes we even feed the reindeer. This year Carson realize who Santa was and so I invited my Mom and Dad to come over and watch him opened his gifts from Santa. It was so cute, we continued the Thomas the Train Theme from his Birthday for Christmas.

So he had a good Christmas I believe. We just tried to make sure he had a few things under the tree. We than went to Mom's house to have breakfest and opened Presents for her. It was fun and me and my sister got Scrap booking things. That's about all I ask for this year. Boy it was more than what I expected. I also got a scrapbook Sweatshirt. Here I am posing.

I was very surprised about the sweatshirt. Anyway my husband got me a watch and money. He told me he didn't know what to get me this year. But I was happy he gave me money anyway. So we did our gifts and than we went to spend Christmas with my Grandpa and my step Grandmother. We did a little bit different this year we rented a place. So for the very first year in my 30yrs of my life. We didn't have Christmas at my Grandpa's. It was bittersweet this year. For one reason, we had enough room, and the TV wasn't going on. The other thing, before we left there was a piano in the place. My dad played and the family started singing songs for my grandpa. You see, our family is based on a Christian Singing Family. There is my Dad, and my two uncles who play the piano and are preaches. So the biggest part of past holiday's was singing old hymns that Grandpa and Grandma loved to here. So that was the highlight of the day singing around like we used to do when we where little.

So we had a very blessed Christmas and hope we have a Blessed New year also.

Ready or Not, Christmas is almost Here...

I must say, for Christmas to be in two weeks, I am more ready for Christmas this year than I was last. Mainly because I have planned it out a little differently than last year. Everything in my house is very basic. I did not decorate very much outside or inside. I just feel like it just needs to be simple to be pretty this year. And for the first time in a very long time, the gifts are mostly bought. I just have a few that are on order, and I hope and pray that they will be here in time for Christmas. But the gifts are very simple. I haven't bought for hardly anybody this year. I have a few gifts that I had to buy that where small in cost. I feel like everybody bent to the financial needs of other's. Like instead of drawing names, we are exchanging a ten dollar man or woman's gift a church. And at work, the ladies are bring a ten dollar scrap booking supply. And as for my extended family, we are not doing gifts this year. So I feel like everyone understands the financial strain everyone is under this year. I mainly bought for my son, husband, sister, mother and father and in-laws. So I myself do not feel stress out very much this year. There is much to do and make. Plus I informed Santa, that my son wants a couple of things that have to be made or put together. So Santa is feeling the stress of Christmas. I told him put a smile on his face and enjoy it. So anyway ready or not, Christmas is almost here and I'm ready for it.

I can not wait till this coming weekend. My mom and I are going to make candy and treats. This was passed down from my grandmother. Baking and making Candy was her treat to us. I feel very honored in receiving some of her recipes that she made every year. I'm looking forward in making Rice Krispees treats, sugar cookie's, a recipe called Heavenly Hash, Fudge, and Chocolate covered Pretzel. All of those good and fating candy. It's just a fun time to get together with my mom and sister. And maybe this year Carson will be able to help with making candy. It will be very interesting. But I'm sure it will be eatable.

I love Christmas mainly because it seems to be the only time when most of the world stands still for at least a day. I mean when everything is closed, even Wal-Mart the day of Christmas, is what I mean when things are at a stand still. I know it's silly but when leaving my Grandpa's we just have to drive into the parking lot of Wal-mart. Because there is not a single soul around. I believe most people try to really feel the Peace that God wishes we had all through the year. I try to have this peace in my heart. God want's us all to have peace and share that peace of the season to everyone. This is my Grownup Christmas wish. That we all try to find Peace within ourselves and with others. So are you truly ready for Christmas this year. You've only got two weeks left. Find it, feel it, and share the spirit of Christmas with everyone you come in contact with. Because Christmas is almost here!!!

When True Friends are not...

Remember in my profile I am a observer. I just have a few thoughts that have been thinking on. For a couple of year's now, I have tried to push and form friendship with someone. And to be honest, I just don't think they want to be close friends. And I just don't know how long I need to keep the friendship going. I truly want the friendship to work. Don't get me wrong, I have some wonderful friends. The friends that I have, I've made over many years, and are great wonderful friends. They will drop everything just to help you out. I love them very much. They are my very true best friends, and they know who they are. If I need something or just to talk they are there. They've been my friends for years. But I have also made new friends along my life that are good friends also. But then I have those friends who just could care less about what goes on with you. The question is how far do you push a friendship. How far do you to go to be friends with certain people? When do you say enough is enough? I have this problem right now. Just how do I go about, trying to end a make shift friendship. When you know the friendship is truly not even there. How do you cut people out of your life? When you truly want them to be in you life? These are question's in my mind right now. I just don't know I will figure it out. I just don't like getting hurt all the time. I know I am the kind of person who never quits on somebody. And I hope that people won't quit on me. And I don't want to quit on them but when is enough, enough? When do I stop getting hurt. When I know that it is a forced friendship anyway. It just hurts that no matter how hard you try or how much you do for them they just don't want to be friends.
