Happiest Momma
Happy Mother's Day!!
I am the Happiest Momma - I have two wonderful and beautiful daughters. I'm so happy to be called a Momma. It is the greatest blessing there is.

Friday was wonderful. I took the girls for a walk in our two person stroller. It was great to be outside - the weather was beautiful and I got some cute pictures.

For some reason I woke up kind of depressed ON Mother's Day - looking back I really had no reason to be. It's weird that at Church Pastor Chris talked about Expectations... and then I guess I had all these expectations of how I was hoping Mothers Day was going to go with two daughters this time and when it went differently I acted.. well.. depressed. I'm bummed that I acted that way.
There was absoultey no reason for me to be depressed. I've got all I could ever want. My daughters are my everything and I don't care where I am as long as there with me that's all that matters.
Abby planted flowers for me in a purple flower pot that was from my Wedding. That was so very special. Jill traced Abby and Jasmine's hands on the side and wrote Happy Mothers Day 08. I can't wait to put that in our new house. I need to take a picture!
We had Baby Dedication at Church! That was great. We dedicated Jasmine - she did well on stage - she was "talking" and when it was our turn to introduce ourselves she wanted to eat the microphone! It was cute. I don't have a picture of that unfortunately but my Sis took some pictures of the morning so I'll have to download them. We dedicated Abby when she was 1 month old.
Pastor Chris gives the meanings of all the children's names and then gives a verse for the child as well. Jasmine means Flower and Charlee or the real spelling Charlie I believe means Free. The verse he gave us was
Romans 6:22 (New International Version)
22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
We were going to go to the Children's museum but we just decided to go out for lunch. We went to Rio Grande which is one of my favorite restaurants. Then we stopped at Bed Bath and Beyond to look at house stuff. We did buy a shower curtain liner for the 2nd bathroom - it has pockets it in and it will be great to put the girls bath toys in! Then we rented two movies (27 Dresses) which we watched. It was alright. We also rented The Waterhorse I think it's called but we haven't watched it yet.
Then later we went to dinner with Adam, Kelley, Mason, Faith, Jill, and Jerry. El Burrito Loco is not my favorite restaurant -actually I don't like it at all, but I was happy to see Adam, Kelley, Mason, and Faith. We don't get to see them much. Uncle Josh enjoys playing with "his linebacker".
It kind of felt like even though I was with my girls the whole day - I wasn't with them. I just wish I could be with them all the time and never have to do anything else. I want them to know I love them more than anything.
Proverbs 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
On a side note .. things are still progressing with the house. We're just anxiously waiting - we're hoping everything will continue to go well and we'll be moved in soon after closing. I would assume if everything went smoothly we'd be moved in mid-late June or early July. We found out that there putting a walk way around the park by the house - so that will be awesome. I won't have an excuse for not getting outside.

4 Years!

It's our 4 Year Anniversary today! Happy 4th Anniversary My Wonderful Joshie! I Love You!

I Am Nothing

i was like a blind man on a road that led nowhere just an empty-hearted beggar in desperate need of help i was poor in spirit, but he was rich in love i was down to nothin' when he came to lift me up now i will never let myself forget all he has done how he came and rescued me and where he brought me from

chorus: i am nothing without christ, he is everything to me he's the reason that i live, he is my only need i know i couldn't make it throughone day without jesus in my life i am nothing, nothing without christ

there is nothing good in me that did not come from him nothing i could boast of that he did not give from the moment i cried out to him to heal my troubled soul he welcomed me with open arms, said all that's mine is yours
now i will never let myself forget all he has done how he came and rescued me and where he brought me from
chorus

bridge: like a wave without a seashore or a kingdom with no king without jesus in my life, i know i wouldn't be complete
