| Talk about time flying... Last year was the busiest ever. Got married in Oct., Bel, I'm so glad that you were able to be here for my big day. It meant so much to me, you will never know. Rosie is already looking at Colleges, and she's only going to be a sophmore next year. I'm so proud of her for looking towards the future and knowing what she wants to do with her life. She's a trooper. Bridget is still wanting to play soccer for the US Women's Team and plus go to college to be a Vet. She loves animals so much. I'm so proud of her for knowing what she wants to do and is willing to do what it takes to accomplish her dream. Both girls are a strong and are not afraid to follow their dreams. I have to be the proudest mom. I'm always amazed at them everytime I look at them. They have know idea how much I love them and how much they make me proud. Bel, you need to keep me informed of how the boys are doing. We miss you, Aaron, and the boys. I want pictures. I have to get a new computer so that I can print my wedding pictures and be able to send you some. I would like to be able to put them on my website. I'm going to try and do better about getting on and writing more. So that you can stay up do date on what's going on in Kansas. I'm going to go for the evening. Daylight savings is tonight and losing an hour of sleep is going to make it hard to get up in the mornings... Love ya... | | |
| I am so stressed out right now...I'm tired of feeling like I live out of my vehicle. I know my issues don't seem that important to some, but for me being a mother of two and having a fiance it's important to me to be able to do it all..I'm hard on myself, I feel like I should be able to do it all. We eat out more than we eat at home and that really bothers me. I'm running all over town 4 days a week and not getting home with the kids 'til it's late. We live 20 - 30 minutes away from school and activities and it's starting to wear on me. I cried myself to sleep last night and I've been keeping everything inside and it's making me very irritable. We need to find a house in Andover. Please Lord, help us find a house in Andover, where we will only be 10 - 15 minutes away vs. 20 - 30 minutes that we are now. In Jesus' name. Amen | | |
| LOVE.... What is Love? 1 Cor. 13... Love is not an emotion, the bible doesn't talk about love being an emotion. Love is a decision. Infatuation is an emotion, it's a roller coaster. Love is not a roller coaster. Love is a commitment it's a decision that a person makes with another, just as God has made the decision to love us and commit to us. After all he gave his one and only Son's life so that we might have life and love. Remember that Bel, love is a choice, not an emotion. It's hard not to confuse the two. Love is unconditional, not flighty... You don't fall into or out of love, it's a choice and commitment over time it becomes deep. I'm taking this class with Rosie for her confirmation. It's enlightening. I bring home the excercises and give them to Paul to take as well. Of course, the Gary Smalley excercise I had previously done and hadn't changed. The one from Gary Chapman last night was about love language. Learning what love language Paul & I speak will help us in knowing what to do to satisfy each other. It's great. I knew which animal Rosie was from the Gary Smalley excerise, but I was surprised about the love language exercise from Gary Chapman. Her's will change as she gets older. They tend to do that, but at least at this time in her life I will know how to talk to her. Remember Bel, I love you sis... and that's truly a decision that I made a long time ago... I wouldn't lead you astray in anything that I tell you. Our relationship has the foundation of the Almighty and he is the rock of our friendship. Keep me posted in all that you do.. Talk to ya soon.. Love ya... | | |
| Just got back from a quick trip to Illinois. Had to see my Grandma, I got a phone call last weekend that she had 3 months to live. Now, eventhough we all know that doctors can not put a time limit on the length of time we all have left in this world, my Grandma told me that I needed to come and see her when I talked to her last weekend, so I went with my sister and dad. We had a good visit, we had her laughing. We stayed for 1 hour and that was enough for her, she was worn out. She had that odor that people get when they are approaching the end. It wasn't strong, but it was there. My dad heard the rattle in her chest, so I don't think that it will be much longer. I just don't like to see her suffer.... I'll write more later... | | |
