Family

We just got back from Family vacation and it was great! Our family has been divided for months and now we are all back together and getting along splendidly!
I wish i could say it has been easy but it has not.... God is teaching me to love people who test me and that i did not choose to have in my life directly.....
Addison is getting so big and i have never loved anyone or anything so much in my life.... I dont even understand how i will be able to love another child this much!
I am learning to let God fill me with His love in order for me to show others love.... I am alwyas trying to do it on my own and be so strong and it keeps landing me in the failure zone...
Thank the Lord for GRACE!
I realized something last night at a bible study i was at that when i despise something in someone else (and usually get judgemental about it) that it is usually not completely absent in my life ..... I have alot of working on myself to accomplish with the Lord's help. Thank the Lord for family!

I made it thought two long days at the office.... Addie brought me lunch yesterday and brightened my day with her smiling face! :)
Today we are hanging out all day .... Mommy bible study, shopping, and just playing at the house!
She is such a blessing and I have missed her all day long that i have been away from her...
I have had some sweet friends call and email me to encourage me through the transition....
I loved being able to be the one that got her all ready for the day today b/c dad has done it the past two days so Mommy could get ready and then play with the little baby girl for a minute before Mommy had to go sit in traffic!
Thank you for supporting me and I pray that one day soon I will be at home with her again.....

well today was my last day as a stay at home mom....
i report for duty at 0730 in the morning...SAD!
we had a great day.... i substituted in the 5 year old sunday school class and had a blast.... after church we went to lunch with some great friends and came home and took a NAP!
Mark had to work from 5-8 so Addie and I worked on getting our house posted and ready to list for sale ....
We also got all of her things together to go to Nay'Nay's house tomorrow while Mommy is at work and Daddy is playing golf....She is going to see G-ma Hill (i think)....
I pray everyone had a great day as we have... The sunshine and weather was amazing and helped keep a smile on my face!

I love Addie's Dad!

I wanted to let everyone know that Mark is so great with Addison and I love to watch him play and interact with her.... He takes her from me so he can spend more time with her and it touches my heart!! He told her before he left for a Union meeting that if he were going to be here for her bed time that he would do this and that with her.... (things he knew I had not planned on doing that she probably would enjoy if I would have) :)
He is so proud and he is a great DAD!

I love AMERICAN IDOL!!!!
Addie got her 6 month shots today and she has a runny nose.... so she is really sad! :(
We are close to getting the house ready to be on the market so anyone that wants to buy a contemporary 3 bed 2 bath in Cordova...COME ON!! :)
Mark and I went to play tennis this afternoon and three tennis courts later i lost!
I am having to box up alot of baby stuff that she has already outgrown but I dont want to get rid of it until we are through having babies..... b/c i know i will need it again but it is so bulky to store!
enough of my whining!!!!
What about DAVID COOK??? He is going to win it ALL!!!
My vote still goes to BROOKE b/c i love her personality and simplicity!!! (if you are lost i am making references to American Idol)

On a more serious note I need alot of prayer for my relationship with my mother-in-law..... She is disrespectful and puts me down in front of our children.... I dont understand it but I want to just walk away and never speak to her but I know my husband needs me to have some sort of relationship with her b/c he loves her (despite all of her flaws)....b/c she is his mother.

Advice for all you single ladies..... You might love the man but make sure you check out all the people that come with him (parents, kids, exes, etc.).... I am speaking directly to my two sisters!!!! :)
have a great evening and i pray you all had a blessed day!

God comforts

I woke up this morning discouraged and exhausted emotionally....
God sent several people to me today to encourage me and to lift me up...
Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement....
Thank God for the body of CHRIST!
