Now, Where Was I?

I am a wife, Momma, house keeper, home school teacher, part time employee...and the list goes on and on. But the one thing I am not is a multi-tasker. Oh how I wish I were!!! I find that I work in circles. More times than not, I find my self saying wasn't I doing something else first or this is not going to help me get to my original goal. I do get my tasks (what ever they might be) done but, I usually feel like there has to be a way for them to go more smoothly. I see Mamma's with more children than I, and think to myself they seem to have to really have it together! They do not miss a beat. I guess this is a area that I will just keep plugging away at. Maybe I should try making a list. Although, I will start the list and before I know it one thing leads to the next and I am doing a little bit of each task at one time. I know I am a sight, Tony gets tickled with me and reminds me to stay focused. All this said I think I have passed my habit to Courtney. I watch her and she does the same thing. It is so true that our kiddo's learn from their examples, even the characteristics that we like the least.

Love Is In The Air

I just came home from a bridal shower, of course the bride is just glowing!! As a matter a fact we have three couples getting married this year. Two of them will be married with in the next month and the third will be in the fall. With all of the love in the air I can not help but to reflect on my own marriage. Tony and I will be married fifteen years in July. Hard to believe sometimes, it seems like we have just always been. I do not mean that in a negative way at all. When I think of when we met, I get a bit mushy inside. I look back and see how far we have come! Sometimes we hit pot holes but I think for the most part it has been a wonderful journey. I am so thankful for the perfect man that Christ made for me! He really is the best for me! In the big picture I know that we have all of this because, we do our best to keep Christ the center of our marriage and our life.

Gracie Cakes

We were in the car waiting on Daddy. So I thought I would snap a shot of Gracie Cakes. She is growing up so fast. She loves to play outside, bake, and sing. I will have to get a new picture of her since she lost 2 teeth on Wednesday night.

On The Run


Tony and I recently ran a 5k together. He of course, has ran one before. For me it was a first. I have been doing some running to loose weight and wanted to prove to myself that I can do it. I have to say I reached my goal time and was beyond thrilled. I am even looking forward to another one. I never thought I would say that.

A Look Into The Day Of The USNS Comfort.

Our friends sent us a link to their Dad's blog. He is the XO of the USNS Comfort. I thought I would point out the link under my "MY BLOG LIST". You will see the hard work that our soldiers are doing to bring medical care to people in need. I know that prayer is needed all across Haiti right now, so many people are hurting and with out the the supplies to take care of their families. I am so thankful for what these men and women are doing to be a help to the people of Haiti and for what they do for us here in the US. Lets keep them in our prayers they have a long road ahead of them!
