A Moment of Realization!

Okay, so maybe I have been living on some cloud somewhere but I have just realized some things....

1. My child...my first born...MY BABY will be 2 years old next Friday!!!! It's hard to believe until she starts throwing her fits...then she definitely seems like she is two!

2. It is November. Okay, so it is the 5th day into the month, I have changed my calendar and I have even written the date a few times but IT IS NOVEMBER!!!! Where in the world did 2008 go!???!! It just seems insane to me. Which brings me to...

3. It is almost Christmas! C H R I S T M A S!!! Wow....

4. I am going to be the mother of two in a few months. Two kids....hmm...I am very excited, don't get me wrong. It was planned and all but things are going to be harder. Again, these are my realizations...revelations, whatever....don't say, "I told you so" or I might just...probably do nothing, but still....

5. The Dairy Queen Blizzard might just be the best thing ever invented!!! Man, I love those things!

6. And the last thing...I refuse to be too political on my blog but here goes....I am a McCain supporter...I admit that and don't have a problem admitting that. I would consider myself conservative...probably on the more liberal side of conservative but conservative nonetheless. I tend to vote Republican mainly because of my value system and Biblical beliefs that life is precious and marriage is sacred. I don't dislike liberals, generally speaking, or Democrats for that matter. I don't generally dislike gays/lesbians or even those that have chosen abortion. It's just my belief system...that's all. The bottom line is, I will pray for Barack Obama. That is my responsibility as a Christian and an American...to pray for our leader. I don't dislike him...I will just pray that God leads him in making decisions for the American people. One last thing....being the Republican that I am I think it is kinda bizarre the way that people (okay, Republicans) are reacting to him being elected. I have heard people say that the world is coming to an end, our country is going to fail, and many other devastating things may happen to our country. I do not feel this way at all. I think we are going to be okay. I mean, come on...this is not the first Democrat, pro-choice, pro-gay/lesbian marriage person we have had in the White House. I don't understand why this time it is so different than when, say, Bill Clinton was elected. Of course, then I was too young to remember if people reacted this way then too...I don't know. That's all....

Okay, I have these light bulb moments often...maybe I should share more often....

man - I just blogged about the same thing! Guess God was weighing on both of our hearts. Oh and Jackson had his circ done since he couldnt have it done at birth. He had to be put under, which made it scary, but the good Lord brought us through.

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.
