Pray for Haiti

This morning I was reading Aaron Iveys blog and I just want to ask every one to pray for the rescue mission in Haiti where there children are. Because of the storms they have no clean water. This sure makes me think about my life and what you have and what I whine about not having. My heart just breaks for these sweet children. I sit here and take oh so for granted the clean abundant water I have. I know this is hard for Jamie and Aaron, to be so far away from their children. So, today lets just lift them up.

Fishing Fun

Since we all had the day off today we wanted to do something fun and cheap. So, we went fishing. This kind of thing is not my idea of fun, but it turned out to be alot of fun. First we went and got fishing poles from Brian then Terry and Bri got there day fishing licence then we had a picnic and off we went to fish. Terry and the kids fished while I read a book and watched. Alex had a blast, we did not catch any fish, unless you count to tiny little one Terry caught. It was nice to just hang out as a family, and to just enjoy each other. I think this will be something we do again. Bri enjoys this kind of stuff she is not like me at all in that respect. My idea of fun is indoor stuff lol. I am not much of a outdoor kind of girl, but when you have kids you do things you normally would not do. And, like most times it turns out to be fun. Wonder how many other things in my life I miss out on because I do not think it is my kind of thing.

1st day of school

Well, today was the day, both of my kids had there first full day of school. It went well for both. Alex got to go to the treasure chest, so that is good. Bri is happy with her schedule. I think it is funny I have a Senior and a Kindergartner. It should be a fun year. I do have to say I missed them today. It was very quite at work, I did get lots of food made, there was no one to distract me. So, we are back to early bed time and getting up early, both of which Alex does not like. At least I don't have to worry about dinner :) I have that covered. You too could have dinners in your freezer ready for dinner, just come see me. (just a small plug for the business lol).

One down one to go

Finally, both of my children go to school this week. I just dropped Alex off for his first day of Kindergarten. He did Kindergarten readiness last year so it was not sad like last year. He was ready to go,and I was ready for him to go lol. I would post a pic but the digital camera had dead, so I had to take pics with my other camera, so I will post one later. And, Bri goes Wednesday (Woo Hoo), that sounds bad, but it is time for them to be at school and not with me at work, or at home fighting with each other. It is hard for me to believe that this is Bri's last year of high school, this time next year I will be helping her off to college, wow, that is hard to believe. Time just goes by so fast.

12 Years ago today

12 years ago today my sweet niece Kiera was born, and 6 short months later she was gone (She had RSV). In many ways it seems like it has been a hundred years, since I stood outside the door and heard her first cry. I was in love from the minute I laid eyes on her. She was such a sweet baby girl. She had a smile that would lite up the room, she was always so happy. She spent most of her young life with me or my mom, we adored her.
At the time she died I was not following God, I had a hard time with this. I was very angry with God, when my moms preacher tried to talk to me I was not very nice to him (I am ashamed of that now), but I just did not want to hear what he had to say. I would be lying if I said that I understood why God had to take her, but I do know now that there IS a reason and that one day I WILL be with her again. There is much more to this story, but today I just want to focus on the good not all of the ugly stuff. I have been very weepy today, I still miss her, she was only with us for 6 months, but she was my sweet little pudding. Happy Birthday Sweet Kiera.

My First time in the Paper

We had our first sampling last night, and Sara from the DNJ was there and she did a great article on us. I am not so happy that my picture was in the paper. I hate pictures of myself, but it was a great article and I pray it will bring business. So, I guess it is ok that there was a pic of me.

Update

He is out of prison. I talked to our attorney today and he is going to sent a new court date as quick as possible. I will keep you updated as I know more. Thank you for your prayers.
