Filled

That is a word that I will use to describe me right now. We had our 25 year anniversary at church today. It was a wonderful day. I really felt the Lord and the excitement that was in the air was amazing. The service was great....I cried the entire time and went through three tissues. I usually can keep it in pretty good, but not today. I was able to see old friends and their precious families (hello Evans, Verdells and Woottens) and visit with friends I don't normally see at service b/c we have 2 services now.

God has been working in my life over the last 2 weeks. He is showing me my true self, not who I think I am. It has been raw and hard, but I'm starting to feel forgivness and healing. I feel like a person that's just accepted the Lord, a rededication to my Lord and Savior. The bitterness, ugliness that I have had for a while now is starting to get less and less. God is changing our family...me, James and Ryland. I am very thankful that God is working and can't wait to see how He is going to continue to grow us.

God is so good!

Me and my boy

Me and my dad

Ryland and his Grandma and Nonna

Nothing new....

Not much new happening here. I did help my brother move out of my parents house yesterday. It was so hot, but he needed some help, so I helped. My mom was so sweet to watch Ryland at my house so that Daniel and I could work without worrying about Ryland. James came and helped move the big stuff. Thanks babe!

We are having some friends come over tomorrow night for dinner and fellowship. I'm looking forward to visiting with them!

Ryland is cutting teeth constantly. I have finally learned what his teething symptoms are. It took him awhile to get started but he is definitely catching up quickly.

Daddy's home!

James made it home safely last night. I was so glad to have him home. Ryland was pretty excited too! James visited NASA while he was in Texas and bought Ryland an astronaut bear...so cute! Ryland loved it and kissed it.

I was waiting for this to happen...

Well, he's done it! I was in my room when I heard a loud thump. Ryland crawled out of his crib...and landed with a crash! I'm not ready for this yet!

Sunday afternoon

There is nothing like a Sunday afternoon. Ryland and I went to SS and I had nursery this morning. SS was very good, very thought provoking. We went over the 10 commandments and took a moment to really focus on each one. Then, during service, I had nursery. After church, we came home, ate, Ryland went down for a nap and I piddled around the house. Now I'm just chillin, waiting for Ryland to wake up. James should be home around 8:30 tonight...5 more hours to go. I can't wait to have him home, safe and sound. He should be landing in Atlanta within the next 1/2 hour. I am getting tired and I know as soon as I lay down, little man is going to be waking up... Oh well....

Week in review

This week has been a very good week. God answered some of my prayers this week and the results have been amazing. I am so thankful that we attend a church where my SS teachers and Pastor follow the call of God and allow God to use them to speak to me.

This week has been a pool week. My mom has come over and we just float around and relax. I am enjoying the pool so much. Ryland? Well, he likes to be held and walked around. He doesn't like his blow-up toys he's supposed to sit in. So he plays for a little while and I put him in his bed for his nap. Then, mom and I relax on our floats. AAhhhh!!!

James is leaving for Houston today. He's got training to attend and he'll be home on Sunday. I miss him already and he's not even at the airport yet. Ryland asks for daddy now and this morning has already asked several times. When he and I pray at breakfast and lunch, he always points to the living room and says "da-da". He wants James to pray with us. Oh, the teachings from an 18 month old. Pastor Larry talked about the importance of the father in the home and even at 18 months old, Ryland needs his daddy!

I'm so excited! I bought some things for my house with my yard sale money! I bought placemats, napkins, silverware and my favorite thing so far, my centerpiece for my dining room table. I made it myself. I went to Michael's and bought the flowers and holder. I am very pleased with it and I did it for 1/2 the price! Even better!
