First Blog

This is my first blog!  I have wanted to do something like this for a while now. After Tiffany opened my eyes up in the blogging world with Cake Runners, I knew that would be great! I hope to be very transparent in what and how I blog.  I hope to make you laugh, and maybe sometimes feel not so alone.

So here we go. My daughter Autumn is 5 years old, I have a son Alex that will be 4 in a few weeks. Which means that Autumn will be going to school this year. As I tooled into WalMart last week. I looked up and felt my stomach hit my feet. There were school supplies everywhere! I had never really noticed them till that day, even if they had been there year after year before. She was so excited and wanted to look, and honestly....I just couldn't do it.  I am SO not ready. So without much of an effort I just said not today, and tried to keep the tears from coming.  I know that this will be good for she and I, because we are just alike..and you know what they say about folks that are too alike. They don't often get along.  With that battle being downed, we were driving down the road listening to praise music, she lifted her hands in praise and asked Jesus to come live in her heart.  So raw and unauthored. It was beautiful. This time I couldn't fight the tears! God is so good to me.  It was an overwhelming feeling for me and her!!!! Even Alex was cheering even if he didn't understand what was happening.
Alex is so very different from her.  He is happy go lucky!!! We went to the beach this past week and my son that almost drowned last year at swimming lessons was body surfing. The wave would come, and he would belly flop right down on the water, ride that wave all the way up to the sand. His poor belly as all scraped up from the shells. But boy did he have fun.
I will have another milestone this week. Brian and I will be married 10 years. It has been an awesome journey this far! I love him more that I can say and looking forward to what the Lord has in store for our future.
That is a little insight into our family. Excited about writing the next blog :)  Enjoy the blessings that God is giving you!
