HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABE!!!

Today we celebrate 13 years of marriage.. God has been so good to us. We have 3 beautiful girls whom we have been blessed with and many many journeys along the way.. The love of my life walked into my life 15 years ago this month and I have NOT been the same since. What can I say and put into words what I feel for this man GOD hand picked himself for me. There were MANY MANY MANY MANY people whom were against us from the start... some I could understand(now) others just had mis information.. But what GOD puts his hand on to happen NO MAN CAN STOP!!!!! Because of this man.. my best friend.. I have lived a full life with all the bells and whistles.. Good times( to many to count) bad times( the good out does the bad) We have made it through by the grace of GOD and our love for one another.. Growing stronger with each passing day.. I look at him and I still can't breath... I get bubbles in my tummy when I hear him come through the door from work.. YES STILL!! I STILL BLUSH when he says something personal.. I still love the touch just the touch of his hand holding mine as we shop at wal mart..lol.. I want to scream to the tops of the earth THIS MAN IS MINEEEEEEEE!!!!! Growing up I did not have a father to show me how a man was supposed to treat you as a lady.. BUT GOD!!! brought this man into my life to show me and he still does to this very day.. Always putting the needs of his girls and wife first NO MATTER WHAT!! Always working hard giving us not only what we need but OHHHH so many wants.. The trust and the warmth of your soul mate is just indescribable.. Babe I love you with all my heart.. All my soul.. All my might.. Now and forever.. You are still the one babe and I thank God He brought me to you.. I pray for you more than I do myself.. I hurt when you hurt.. I cry when you cry.. I rejoice when you do.. Our heart beats are one and babe..
THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME!!!
Love, Your wife

WHOOO HOOO!! Not sure if I am more excited than the kids or not.. I am close though.. I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this time of the year.. everything and anything about it... I have so much to be greatful for and soo many people I hold dear to my heart whom I wish I could share this day with.. But with everone spread from here to there.. I am thankful for the WORLD WIDE WEB to stay in touch.. I have many gifts to finish wrapping to get under the tree and we are going to look at lights tonight with my mom and dad.. Going to do some baking this afternoon with my grandma . We had Kaitlyn"s birthday party last night ( pictures will be comming soon) My baby is 9... Time goes by so fast!!! We arrived phx early monday morning around 6:30am and have been going none stop since arriving. Going to get to see some awesome friends this weekend from California.. and some more from MO I hope( weather permit) Trust everyone is having a wonderful time of the year and a very very MERRY CHRISTMAS! This is what it is about... Family and friends and sharing in the miracle of the season... JESUS!!!! Love to all!!

AFK for a min

With so much going on we will be AFK(away from keyboard) for a min( undisclosed amount of time) rofl.. Trust everyone is having a wonderful time of the year and remembering why we are celebrating this season. It is all about HIM and HIM alone.. The baby Jesus born in a manger so HE might grow up to be the SAVIOUR for the WHOLE WORLD! WOW isn't that amazing?? I liked the way the preacher put it this morning. Jesus is GOD with some skin on.. HE came in human form so we would believe and be saved from our wicked life and have a brand new life.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

A few pic's from Shania'sB-Day

Well we did not have a huge bash because we are waiting for Steve to be home for that. She did however have a pretty nice birthday celebration. Started out by Aunt Vicky doing something special for her and than she got an awesome tote bag plus journal and nice card from them.. A sweet card from each of her sisters and gifts.. Cards in the mail with birthday money from Her Papa and Mimi in phx.. a special card from her G.G and birthday money.. and from her mom and dad her gift is coming this weekend( was a lil more costly to obtain ) She wanted to make a cake by herself with the castle cake pan we have and that she did.. so later that night we ended up going over to my sisters new house to have some coffee and cake.. The other 2 pics of Ryan were from him burning leaves for the very first time EVER in his life. He had a blast my sister said.. lol.. That dog is not theirs but has fallen in love with Ryan and waits by the back door for him to come out and play.. To cute.. I have more pics on my phone but I gotta get them D/L off to my puter( I know story of my life)lol.. So needless to say over all Shania had a very nice 12Th Birthday. O yes and her friend Stephanie from TN called her so that made her day!!

A few of our Baptism pic's

A friend of mine from church took these pic's of our baptism last month (thanks Pam) The water was actually not cold was very warm and my only fear was.... BRO.STEVE PLEASE DO NOT DROP ME.. rofl. rofl. I was terrified that I was to BIG for him to dip and bring back up.. rofl rofl rofl.. ANDDDD I also feared for the safety of the first 3 rows by the baptiser that a tsunami would wipe them out( mainly being from me being dunked) SO all fears were set aside as I was in the worship mode and why we were doing this. .. I have always wanted to be baptised since I was a little girl. I do strongly believe in the act. No it doesn't make me more saved or secure my place anywhere.. but it is an outward sign of an inward work that has been done and just always wanted to do it. I have not been to nor seen one done since I was a little girl.. I think a lot of our churches have strayed away from it and that is a shame... We were sad to do it without Steve here with us but after much thought and prayer as a family we decided to go ahead with it and I am very happy we did. So that is just a Lil peek into that weekend in our lives :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANIA

WOW 12 years old today!! How time does go by so fast.. I am so excited to watch you grow and share in the experiences you have each day. Such a blessing to see what a lovely young lady God is shaping and molding you to be. Your warm smile, gentle heart, giving spirit, and unselfish love are just a few of the things I love most about you. I just love your heart.... Such a joy to not only be your mother but also your teacher.. your truly a treasure from heaven.. I miss the little girl you use to be toddling behind me with a broom or a mop wanting to "help" me clean the kitchen.. now your cooking, baking , and cleaning better than some grown women.. I am so happy to share the experience of singing in the church choir together and I could go on and on.. all the scrap booking nights and just our long talks we have so often.. I love you so much and you will always be my baby... Of course you know your always daddy's lil girl :) I hope your having a good birthday and I love you so much..

I can not fall asleep at night without that phone tucked in one ear to hear his voice and my teddy( with his t-shirt and Cologne on it) in the other arm.. Yes and we still have our DATE nights on the puter..( love the modern day stuff) Just pray that it works out for him to get home soon for a lil R&R!!!!!
