About Me

I am a daughter, a wife, and a mommy to 2 amazing boys. I have been married for 15 years to my hubs! I love Jesus with all my being. I appreciate a good cup of strong coffee, chocolate, yellow flowers, and my toes in the sand on a sunny FL. day.

Merry Christmas!!

Oh, what a wonderful time of year!  This Christmas season has been so different and I have loved every minute of it...okay, almost every minute. ;).   Having a child to celebrate the season with makes everything so amazing!   Just today I was driving home from running a few errands and I was thinking about all that God has done for my family this year.  All I could do was just smile and think, "only You could do all this, Lord...only You".   Dave and I have a few things the Lord is doing for us at this very moment.  I am not ready to let it out over my blog, Twitter, or Facebook, but soon very soon!  

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I am so excited to spend it with my two favorite guys!!  This may sound silly, but for years I couldn't wait to read The Night Before Christmas with my children and tomorrow night I finally get to do it.  

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!! 

One of my favorites of Aiden with his Aunt Lily!  They are from the same foster home in China!

 

A visit with Santa!

We went to see Santa last week and all Aiden asked for were games.  He's an easy kid to please!

New school!!

Today when  my little man woke up he was super excited to meet his new teacher at his new school! After much prayer and talking Dave and I decided to put Aiden into public school.  I have been homeschooling Aiden over the last couple of months.   What Aiden needs more than anything right now is for me to just be his mommy, so I am removing the role of being his teacher,  It was quite different with Aiden in school and not "officially" working.  Don't get me wrong, my day was full, but it was just different.  I have always found great fulfillment in getting dressed, heading into work and getting things done.  I always have a million things to do, I just have to get focused.   


Tomorrow I am celebrating my 10 year anniversary and can hardly believe it!   I have done so much in the last 1o years.  Things that have changed my life and things that I never want to repeat (ha-ha). One thing that I know is that I married a wonderful man and I love him with all that is within me!
