Well, I had some deeply spiritual things that I wanted to blog about but I think I will save that for another blog. For now, I will just tell you what we did over the weekend! It was tons of fun!

We flew to Little Rock on Friday to go to Brice's parent's house. Rachel was great at the airport and on the airplane. I bought a new contraption for Rachel's car seat so that we didn't have to carry her through the airport or take an extra stroller, etc. It is a set of wheels that attaches to the car seat. Sounds simple, huh? Well, it would have been if my husband had looked at the brand of car seat that we own and read the correct instructions...okay, I should give him a break...at least he did read the instructions, right??

Anywho....we got to their house and Rachel went to bed pretty soon after. She fell right to sleep but decided to wake up at 10 til 6:00 the next morning...IT'S SATURDAY!!!! Well, we put her in bed with us and she went back to sleep. Anyway, we had a HUGE feast Saturday night for Brice's parent's 40th anniversary. There was so much food and despite my dieting I PIGGED OUT!!! It was fabulous!

We went to church Sunday and visited all of our Little Rock friends. Oh, how I miss them so!!!! I just can't tell you how much I miss it. God definitely had a purpose bringing us to Dallas. I often ask myself what that is as I think about Arkansas and how much I miss it but we have made some GREAT friends here! I have the best friends that I have ever had right here in Grand Prairie. Sure, I have great friends in other places too some of my best in Arkansas, but the close relationship I have with some of the ladies here is definitely a God-send. Anyway, I digress....we flew home Sunday night after a very quick trip and Rachel was a little fussier on the way home but not bad. She did not go to sleep until 10:00 and slept this morning until 9:30 - which resulted in a bad nap today.

Welp, we are back to our routine...for a couple of days anyway. I weighed this morning and squinted my eyes at what I might see the scales say.....you won't believe it...I LOST 1.8 LBS!!! I was completely and utterly shocked! I honestly thought I would have gained weight this week after all of the wonderful junk that I ate Saturday!! YAY!!! I worked out today and we had a playdate with Chelsea and some of Rachel's other friends. All in all a good day!

Rachel and I are driving to Hope on Friday to be there for Adison's 1st birthday party and then coming home Monday. I always hate leaving Brice behind but he just can't get away for the long right now. I am looking forward to possibly taking a family vacation just the three of us sometime this fall.

That's about it. Stay tuned for the spiritually deep stuff.....

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
