Brandon is busy into baseball and I am starting back work part time this month at the hospital.

well my HOTT date got moved up to Monday night and we saw 10,000 B.C. (it was kinds slow until almost the end) and went to eat Sushi!!! Mmmmmm.......
Mark and I both are having sinus trouble but his is worse and he is getting less rest than I am.
Addie and I are almost all packed for AR and cannot wait to see the Arnold girls Friday afternoon.... We have been blessed with a family and I pray that in time everyone of them will come to realize that..... Our prayers are with Jay and Joy and the unborn child that God is giving to them.... His protection is on that child and I know they will be amazing parents once again!
Addie and I went to bible study this morning, then to play at the playground, off to lunch and CheeBurger CheeBurger.... followed by a little shopping at Babies R Us.
I hope everyone is having a great week and I look forward to sharing funny stories from our trip at the top of the week! GOD is GOOD all the time and all the time GOD is GOOD!

This morning I got up and it was still dark out when it usually is light :( I did some reading and then miss prissy got up. I love watching her play with Mark b/c she just lights up!
I attempted to help someone yesterday and might have made things worse.... I need to learn to mind my own business and be QUIET!
Am I that person who someone would say the way to hell is paved with good intentions??? I hope not ..
Today we are going to finish a Spanish project, clean house, and whip myself back into shape for the SUMMER!
Addie and I cannot wait for it to be warm enough to go to the park and play!
I have a HOTT date Wednesday night at Carraba's!!! I cannot wait !
Then load up the car Thursday and head to the vacation suite in Paron AR Friday morning!

It snowed this weekend and it is beautiful..... I love seeing what God can do with a little precipitation. I am trying to read on how to be a good parent and a good wife but it is hard right now because i am discouraged. My family is so disheveled right now that many of my family members do not even know what is going on in my life. i know that God did not design the family unit to always be easy but surely He does not condone removing people from the family unit when you feel wronged or know that they have done something they should not have..... How would any of us stay in the Family of God if that were the method He supported? who are the true leaders of a family? the Men? The women? or the humble ones who care more about being a light in darkness than they do about their own self? Can you cut people off when you are not thinking about yourself but rather thinking of others? is it easier to help a stranger and except their flaws than that of your own family members? Like i said i am confused and discouraged.
God has brought a little ray of sunshine into my day with the beautiful white sheet he has laid outside my window and always my daughter's gorgeous smile!

This past month has been a blurrr! Brandon started back school, Mark has been working none stop, Addie and I joined a Kindermusik class and a Mom 2 Mom bible study going through the book " 5 love languages of children". Addie had her 4 month shots alst week! OUCH! She is in the 75% of her age group...said another way is that she does not miss any meals!We are trying to get our house ready to be put on the market. PRay for GOd to guide us in selling our house. Apt life awaits us until we get our next hosue built.... SO much to look forward to...... We have been through some family struggles this past week and I am still recouperating..... Lots of counseling and prayer is where we are at right now. It is so hard to make a new family out of two completely different families. Addison is the ray of light that i get to look at anytime i am down and i quickly remember how blessed I am. She was dedicated Sunday and it was a relief to be reminded that God is in control of her life not I but i do play a significant part so I have to live my life selflessly. I am looking for the days were we are striving and not just surviving....

The weather keeps going back and forth so my nose has been running for weeks...yuck!

I have been overwhelmed with the fear of being prego again .... no worries b/c i am not! :) I thank JESUS for letting me be home with my precious angel! Have a great rest of the week!
