One Step Closer

Well, Jesse is one step closer to leaving for college. We went to Little Rock after work to shop for "Dorm Stuff". It was alot of fun and a bit trying at times. But definitely something I will never forget. I was proud of her choices in bedding and accessories.

She is starting to get excited about moving into the dorm. I am sure there will be many things to blog about during this change in our lives.

Overcoming

9 years ago today I had the accident of all accidents so far in my life. I fell from a 6 foot ladder in my back yard while washing my siding and literally tore my left foot off. It was a long emergancy surgery and 16 weeks of re-hab, but I was able to over come with flying colors. I now have only a slight limp, but pain daily. (Good thing I consider myself to have a high tolerance for pain) I say all of that to say....... We never know what will happen in our lives from one minute to the next. With every passing day, I realize that more and more. But I try to tell my kids 2 things.....1. Trust God and he will see you through anything. 2. No matter what happens, you can always come home.
It's funny how little triumps in our lives makes us stronger people. But between you and me, I plan on letting someone else wash my siding in the years to come. It doesn't take me long to learn my lesson. :)

Another Lazy Sunday.

We are very predictable when it comes to Sundays. We get up and go to church and class and then go to Kenny's parents and eat and then home for a nap, than back to church at 5pm. Today I didn't feel like my normal Sunday afternoon nap so I decided to go to the tanning bed. I haven't been in so long that I am very 'white'. Once I was done with that, I thought since I am already on this side of town, I will go to WalMart and get some hairspray and something for breakfasts this week. Well, sometimes I don't know how in the world 3 things can turn into about 30 things and I end up spending 4 times more than I planned. But it happens quite frequently. (and I am pretty much a 'tight wad' when it comes to money). But I got home and started putting things away and now it is almost time to go back for evening worship at church. We haven't always gone to evening worship but we started to in January of this year and I am glad we are. It has been a blessing and I am sorry I didn't do it all these years. I went to church every time the doors opened when I was growing up. I guess sometimes we just change our habits as we grow up.

I did get couple of pictures this morning before church. They didn't turn out too well. We all look tired or posed or something but we don't look quite ourselves. ((But I will share them anyway. :) )

By the way......It wasn't that I didn't want a picture with Mason, it was just all I could do to get one of him with Jesse :(

I hope everyone has a great week ahead of them.
