my life as I know it!

have you ever wondered what you did to deserve such a wonderful life? I wonder all the time but then i remember god made me to be exactly who I am and what I am today! he knows every path I will take and Why and it seems so comforting to know it! God will lead me in ways that I may have not chosen for my life but in the end there is a reason and god knows that reason! I have learned so many things over my 29 yrs of life! first is to be respectful of all around you and respect they have opinions and ways they do things! love your family always and forever no matter what! you cant change who god gave you for family you just learn to deal with it! LORD KNOWS I LOVE ALL OF MY FAMILY! a little wacky and crazy at times but i love you all! be honest and giving to others always! be a hard worker~ be a friend to a friend~ sounds a little wierd but it is true! my mom and dad gave me a good life and taught me good morals and life standards to live by and that has helped me pass such on to my children whom i hope will pass to theirs! i could never understand though why it was that you spend so much time being the person that god wants you to be and then when someone does something bad to you turn the other cheek and this has been really hard for me to handle but I am doing it` GOD IS GREAT a lot has been delt to our family in the last few months more than what i thought i could handle but I am doing that too~ GOD IS GREAT my blogs always seem to go all over the place but that is me and if you havent figured my out yet you are probably never going to so you ma as well forget trying! all i know at the end of the day is that i love my husband i love my kids and I love my family! I am so sad to think that others may not have the same outlook on life that i do but glad to know that they can change that if they want to, that is another beauty god lets us make our own decisions in life and then we deal with however it works out! please as most of my thoughts are all over today bare with me and I will get it together on the next post i hope! love you all you know who you are!

winter...

Wow what a winter it has been already not as cold as it usually is but that is great for i hate the cold! however the winter is mild and that is nice for a change! it has been a while since i have jotted anything down here so let me catch you up... we had a terrific christmas with lots of family time and that is wonderful! morgan and Aidens brthdays followed christmas one on the 28th and one on the 29th yes i know i am crazy but i am not the only one that has it like this! of course i would have liked it different but god chose this for me and i have accepted it with love and appreciation! january brought several good things birthdays for uncle richies family 3 to be exact and that was interesting to say the least! now we are 2 days into feb. and i cant wait for spring! i love being able to go outside with out dressing so heavily and i love my flip flops! in fact i often catch myself wearing them around the house in the winter! LOL ~ my moms 50th birthday is coming up in march so i have planned a little get together for that nothing big for she would hate that but maybe a card shower of some sort! Aunt gwen and I have been keeping busy with visiting our thrift shops and man we find such good deals! well for now i will wrap it up~ have a good day!

jon and kate

i am sick this morning i just hate this! i am so close to this family and it is heart renching that this is going on! they need to get back to what is most important to them and that was their marriage and family! i am sooo sad i cna't hardly stand it! why i ask myself has this happened to them! i know they always make kate out to be a horrible bossy controlling lady! well it is tv of course they will do that for ratings! on the other hand she is not always really like that! she is a terrific person and i we think she is great! we love jon too but really don't like the decisions he has made and really can't understand them either! the kids are so sweet and always heartwarming! my thoughts on this really are to help them through a difficult time and be there for them all no matter what because that is what friends and family do!!! love you guys!

SAY A PRAYER FOR ISAAC

ISAAC IS VERY SICK TODAY! HE AWOKE THIS MORN. WITH A SLIGHT FEVER AND VOMITING AT 630 WELL I FINALLY CALLED THE DOCTOR AT 9AM AND THEN SAID TO BRING HIM RIGHT IN THEY SAID IT IS THE SAME THING THAT HANNAH STILL HAS AND THAT THERE IS REALLY NOTHING THEY CAN DO! HE HAS CONTINUED ALL AFTERNOON WITH THE VOMITING AFTER LITTLE SIPS OF WATERED DOWN GATORADE! THEY DID TELL ME IF HE WASN'T ANY BETTER AND WAS GETTING DEHYDRATED HE WOULD HAVE TO BE HOSPITALIZED! POOR LITTLE BABY HE IS SO SICK JUST LETHARGIC AND SAD LOOKING! HE IS A GOOD BOY AND HITS THE BUCKET EVERYTIME THOUGH! THEY WILL WATCH HIM EXTRA CAREFULL TO BECAUSE OF HIS ASTHMA!
