April

April is unbelievably busy. It seems like i have something to do every day this month. I have had uprising, carnival, three birthday's already and i have Alaina's birthday tomorrow, Heather's is Friday, mine is next Thursday :) and it just blows me away. Plus weddings, parties, school stuff. WOWSERS APRIL.
I spent the weekend with my mama and that was great. She is such an amazing women. She loves with her whole heart. She worked until she was worn out for her friend Stephanie to have a great wedding shower, and then looked beautiful for the party. i hope i can do that when i am her age. I also see a lot of my determination for things to be nice that i had to get from her. We are very similar and i am greatful for that.
I am asking God, and my body to be down 10 pounds from my starting weight two weeks ago for my birthday. I have a week and a half to go and about 4 or five pounds. i guess i need to exercise.

Alaina is growing too fast. WAY too fast. She is five tomorrow. I no longer have any babies. How did that happen. I really just want to hold her in my lap and not let her go. she has such a great personality. She brightens my day, and can take my worst mood and make it better. She is always talking and singing and is just such a joy in my life. I am sad for the choices i made to not have any more children. They are really my heart and my joy in life. don't get me wrong i get very frustrated and by no means are we perfect but they are my best work. Hahaha. I love them. And i am having that babyitis right now. :)

Skillet and Toby Mac

Jonathan got me the most amazing christmas gift this year. Tickets to see Skillet and Toby Mac Live!!! We went last weekend to Huntington WV and rocked out to our two most favorite bands. It was so great to have that time with Jonathan! It was like we were teenagers again. It was a wonderful date. A time to reconnect, and a time to just spend together doing something we both love very much! I will never forget it.
Not to mention that Skillet totally ROCKED the HOUSE!!!! and Toby well what can i say? He was amazing as always.

I say all this just to remind all my married friends not to forget what you first loved about your spouse. And to fight for those little things, to keep your marriage kindled! It is so worth it, and that is how you will keep one of those amazing Keys to your heart: Friendship with your spouse!

Ed and Teri-Jo are so excited to finally be able to hold little John in their arms. We have all prayed and waited axiously for his arrival! Keep them in your prayers.

it has been a while

Wow i haven't posted on this blog for a while.
We are all doing well. Alaina is about to turn 5 and i can't believe it.
Spring Break was amazing, we got to see both sets of parents and I had a great time with my mom on the beach. That is our favorite place, and it was just wonderful being there with her.
Foxy now has three legs after a long hard road of trying to heal the leg that got hit by a car. She is doing great and you would never know she only had three legs.
Easter was beautiful, it reminds me of the simple things in life, and how delicate things can be.
