Counting my Blessing's...

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!! May we count our many Blessings that God has bestowed upon us this year!! The Blessing's that God gave us through the year, are too many to count. God has been truly wonderful to us this year. He has protected us and provided for us, when we needed it. He watch over my husband with his wreck. He provided for us when we didn't know where it would come from. He took care of of Carson when he started school this year. He provided us the extra money to place a roof upon our head's. He nursed me back to health, from my hearing problem. We offer up our praise and thanks for taking care of us this year, and may remember to always give God the Thanks!!

Carson is turning 4...

Well, just letting you know, we will be celebrating Carson turning #4 this weekend. It's just hard to believe that four years ago, we welcomed this precious little boy into our lives. It has been a roller coaster ride thus far with him. But we are truly blessed to be his parents, and I thank God for every moment with him, I'm sure David would say the same. He truly makes up both part's of us. We want to always to what is right for him, I know that is every parent's wish. We know that God has taught us to be patient through him. We tried to have a little one for a solid year and not know that God would Bless us with a little one. We just had to be patient. So since day one we have been in agreement to raise him in the way that we where raised. And to be patient with him, God is looking over us and I hope very pleased. That is my prayer today, that we are doing right in God's eyes. Because we don't know what holds tomorrow, we just know that God is in control. So has I look past on the four years, I have to ask myself, are we doing what we promised God? Are we raising him up in the way that God would be satisfied? I pray that we are!

Still Here...

I know, it's been awhile since I've blogged. But our lives have still been crazy for a couple of weeks now. We just got back from Branson, and let me tell you we had a good time. The only down fall was it was soooo cold. We went to Silver Dollar City, and saw it snow for the first time this year. We saw Christmas Lights, Christmas Tree's, and Christmas Music. Then there was snow coming down from the sky. It was perfect, a good time spending with my family.

We also got to see the Dixie Stampede. If you haven't saw it, it's well worth your money to go and see it. You get a huge dinner and a show. The only disadvantage is there is no utensils, you eat with your hands. There is Chicken, Corn on the Cob, Potato, Rolls, and Veggie Soup. It was all good, just alot of food for just one person. Thank goodness we backed out on getting Carson a plate. He ate with me, and got to set on my lap. There was a contest North and South side. We sat on the North and ended up losing. Oh well it was fun anyway, and Dolly Parton sent us a message. "To keep Peace and Love in our hearts, as we celebrate Christmas this year". She is a wonderful women who tries to spread her message to everyone!!

It was also a good time to get a little Christmas shopping done. Carson got some clothes, a coat, and I got some Scrapbooking things. It is so worth going up to Branson this time of year. We enjoy our selves. No men, No work, and No pressure of time. Just doing what we like to do. As long as we can do it, I want to keep going!!

Well what's been going on...

What you think of my new Background!! I love http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com it's free and very cute!! Thank You for allowing me to change and make my Blog cute and not boring!!

Well you know when the Cat's away the mice will play.... Mom and Dad left town for a couple of day's. So we are not really acting busy at all. I'm trying to find out how to make a spooky veggie tray for Carson's first school Halloween party. It's tomorrow, last min thing. I really wanted to do something special for him. But all I'm coming up with, the kids would prob. not want to eat. We are talking about three year old's. They are picky eater's anyway. So it will prob end up being a simple veggie tray. Anyway Halloween is tomorrow, and the costume that I had picked out for Carson he won't where!! I had it in mind, to not really spend alot of money on a goofy costume this year. I mean twenty dollars for a thing to where for one night. How crazy!! Anyway I come up with a construction worker. You know, shirt, jeans, and toy tool belt and a hard hat. We had it, no money and simple. But noooooo, he wont where to tool belt nor the hard hat. So my mother, bought the little guy a Thomas the train costume!! Spoilt I tell ya!!

So that's what we will be doing tomorrow night. I have a list of about 10-15 houses to trick or treat!! Mainly the older people at church. We save the big Trunk or Treat for last!! They have games and prizes for the kids. I try to get to everybody, but since it's on a Friday night, Carson doesn't have to be in bed early! The sad thing is mom and dad won't be able to see him in his costume!! Oh well, that's OK, we will be taking a bunch of pictures.

Carson went to Aunt Sissy's church last night and carved a little pumpkin!! He told me he took out the inside, because it represented sin!! He said he put a smiley face on it, to represent a smiling face for God. And he put a candle in to represent the light we should shine for God. How cool was that, I mean who would have thought of that!! So we will be lighting our pumpkin tomorrow night to shine our light for the world. Happy Halloween!! Be safe and Have some good fun!!

Ok...I'm Thirty!!

I know, it's been a week since I blogged. Well this week has been crazy at work. Our computer system decided to go on the Fritz's!! So haven't' had time to blog!! Anyway, just letting you know what happen on my b-day, well nothing really!! I'm now a week older and I don't feel any different!! I celebrated my birthday by putting together our Hayride at church. It was soooo cool, we generally have a small group. There where 41 people there and 12 of them where children. So the hayride, had about 25 people on it. So that was pretty exciting. Carson fell asleep on the Hay Ride. It's really hard when your parent's are in charge of an event and you have to tag around with them. So they are there for the preparation plus the event. So my little man did not have a nap all day. But we where glad everyone had a really good time.

This week was pretty calm in the Roush household, until Wednesday!! You see even though we work for my Mom and Dad. My husband still doesn't have a work truck. We never really have pushed the ideal of him getting one. So he has to drive his truck!! Well Wednesday at noon, he got rear ended pretty bad. He went to the ER, to get x-ray's and cat scan. He as a neck sprain, other than that he is pretty sore. We found out yesterday it's going to coast over $6,000. to fix the truck (way more than what the truck is worth). The frame bent and major damage to the back. I really don't know what is going to happen. What really gets me, is we had only two more month's till we paid the thing off!! We have been very excited that it was fixing to be free and clear of money!! Also it get's me really tick off at the guy, he wasn't even paying any attention of what he was doing. He didn't know he even hit David, until the airbag came out and hit him!! Plus the guy that was riding with him, had a warrant out for his arrest!! The little s-10 wasn't even his truck. It belonged to someone else. Plus the cop told us that he keep lying about some thing's. Luckily there was insurance's involved. Otherwise we would have been up the creek without a paddle!! We just Thank God that nobody got hurt.

I hope everyone else has had a good week!! Please pray for David and I. We are singing for a benefit singing tomorrow night. I'm very nervous, because it's outside. I'm just worried I won't here our music. Anyway, just pray that we will be able to spread God's Work through Song!!

Hope everyone will have a good weekend. God Bless!!

I'm 30 today!!!!!!!!!!!!

One More day till I turn 30...

Yeah!! Well it's just about here!! I Just really don't know how to react!! I walk in at work this morning and well let me just say it is raining the number 30 over my desk!! I've got a sign over my desk that declares I'm Over the Hill. I have a balloon with the number 30 on it. There are white and black streamer's hanging over my desk. The balloon's say Still Wild at 30!! I tell you what!! I do not feel old. There is so much that has happened in my life, and I don't know why I'm trying to feel different. It's just a number, a age, everyone will approach, this point in there life. So right now I'm just going with it, I'm turning 30!! I feel like I'm in one of those group session's saying...Hi, my name is Amy and I'm turning 30!!

Anyway one last memory I have, before I put my birthday memories to rest. Is when I turned eighteen. Where life as a Teenager ends and life as an adult begins. So Here is my last memory as a teenager.

I actually had a hard time figuring out what to do for my 18th party. I mean it was going to be hard to top my sweet 16 party. So I decided to go back to the park, and just have all my girlfriends around. Mom was able to help me on this party (No broken foot). We had another cook out, and my friends went crazy. We danced, we laughed, we talked, and we just hung out. It was sooo cool. As I think about it, It was one of the last parties, where everyone came together and just had fun. So here are some crazy pictures of me and my friends!!

There are a few pictures of me at church. My Grandmother made me a Birthday cake and our real good friend Mrs. Dorthy Johnson surprised me at church. I also got a suitcase for my birthday!! It was suppose to be for my graduation, but they gave it to me early. I had a Senior Trip to Florida and no suitcase. The whole 18th Birthday kinda gets me sad. I was the only grand daughter that my grandmother got to celebrate turning eighteen. I had my birthday in October and my grandmother died in April!! But she lived life full just like I'm planning on doing!!

There is nothing I would take back or do different on my Birthday's, because it was a chance to celebrate my life. No mater what the number on the cake is or was, or the amount of people that was around. I think everyone should celebrate their life. God created you and you should celebrate the miracle of your life. Soooo That's what I'm doing, because the old lady hasn't sung yet. So look Out World I'm Turning Thirty Tomorrow!!
