Today....she makes me SMILE!

Just got my new hair cut! Isn't it cute? I will try to put pictures up of the nissan tomorrow!

I have decided that I have got to be one of the luckiest gals in the whole world.
I have the most awesomest husband that loves me with his WHOLE heart.
At the end of a rough day I can know that I will be going home to someone that loves me and will always be by my side no matter what my day has held.

I often wonder if I tell him thanks enough? If I have shown him in enough ways that I love him. I have heard of so many people with problems in their life... so many people who have 1 option and that is to give up... I am just so thankful that my husband is full of faith and can tell me that God has a plan in OUR lives.

That takes guts. It takes guts to love God... It takes guts to FOLLOW God, and it takes guts to LIVE YOUR LIFE EVERY DAY AND TEACH YOUR CHILDREN about God.

TOday.... I had a bad hair day... THat is why I took picture number 1... I decided that i would try something different cause my hair couldn't look worse that what it already did. ... I know that it doesn't matter what my hair looks like... what clothes I am wearing..... what people think about my appearance... cause that is all the outside.... the OUTSIDE DOES NOT MATTER......
SO, today, yes, i had a bad hair day, but I know that GOd loves me AND my bad hair!


Picture number 2 is me and Rodney.... no matter what I have the love of a husband and the love of God in my heart.... (and that is the ONLY thing that matters... no matter what) God is the only thing that can make you HAPPY... God is the ONLY thing that can make you COMPLETE... and I am SOOooo thankful that I have that to teach to my children EVERY DAY. That is what I think about when I see picture #2.... How blessed... and happy... and loved I am.
So... in a nut shell... be happy with who you are... God made you.... image doesn't matter... it is what is in your HEART and NOT your bad hair day.

We went with a few of the youth to a seventh day slumber concert. It was really fun.
Here are a few pictures (for lack of anything else to put on here) for you go see.


The picture above is me and rodney... then Karl, Lacy, and the crazy girl in the middle is big Navy.

Well, yesterday was the day... the day that mothers ALL around the world prepare for... Some mothers "say" it doesn't affect them while others are very emotional about it.
I don't care WHO you are... or which mother you try to show yourself as... your life is impacted and your heart just cries out with fear... with love,.... with pride... with sadness.....
Today is the day your child steps out into the world... today is the day they start "growing up"
For me, its the first day of PreSchool. She was so grown up... so excited about life... so FULL of life. My heart just aches for her. What will she do with her life? What will she become? I have always taught her that we love her and that God loves her and will always be there. But this world is a crazy world.
Yes, I know this is just PreSChool, but this is just the start to all things growing up. And i just love this little girl to pieces. She is so special. God has just blessed me so much with this kiddo!
Here are a few pictures of Anndee's 1st day! Hope they make you smile!
