Sad news...

If you read Angie's blog you saw that her husband Todd's brother's son died last night in his sleep. He was only 10 wks old. She went into check on him at about 9 o clock and he wasn't breathing. The perimedics tried to resesitate him but no avail. It is no question that this family needs your prayers in the worst way right now. What an awlful tragedy to befall them, not long after Angie's daughter died in her arms just hours after being born. Please pray for these two families. Such a sad time.

Tonight

I'm so excited. Jerm and I are having a "date night!" We're going to see Indiana Jones, then going to this new restaurant called "Zenna". It's a Thai place, so I look forward to some yummy food! Yay!! I've done my hair all poofy in my new haircut and plan on putting make up on and getting dressed here in a minute. James is napping now, and we'll be dropping him off at my parents here in a bit. Woohoo!!

Have a great night ya'll! I know I will!

I could go on and on...

We live in Plano, Tx right now. Plan on moving to the Denton area in the next few months as we buy a house. Right now we go to Wilshire Baptist. Once we move we will go back to Denton Bible church. The church I went to while in college up at North Texas. Right now, I'm a stay at home mom, but I plan on going back to North Texas after we move and getting my masters in psychology. I want to become a high school counselor.

Well that's me, in a nutshell. How about you???

Jazzercise

Hey everybody. Just got back from working out at Jazzercise. I love it. It is really kicking my booty but I love it. Today I did a "step jazzercise" which is a step class with a bit of Jazzercise mixed in. I know I will definitely be sore tomorrow. But, it's worth it!

Jerm and I are going up to Denton today. We are trying to decide if we want to build or just buy a house built with in the last few years. The later would mean we can move in faster...which would mean definitely being there for Christmas and the holidays. The building would put us in the house right around the new year. And I really really don't want to spend another holiday season at our apt. The prices and the quality of homes that are already built are very good and the resale value is better. So, right now we are leaning towards just buying one. We have found a lot in the area we want, and today we are going up there to see a few.

Well, I better go get ready so I'm off. Have a great Sunday guys!

Mother's Day

Hey everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in ridicks forever!! I forgot about this thing for a while! But, I really want to start up again, regular posting. So, I will start talking about how my second Mothers Day went yesterday. It was so good! Jerm woke me up with breakfast in bed. Then we went to my parents house after church for a super yummy lunch. We just hung out afterward and played some ps3. I played Madden 08, the game we gave my dad for his birthday. I enjoyed it. I'm not very good at it, but it is fun. I, of course picked The Bears as my team. haha. We came home last night and just crashed. I had really bad allergies yesterday and the claritan i took really knocked me out. today, Jerm has been home with a cold. It's been nice having him here! Although I hate that he's sicky.

I will try to update more often I promise!

In Complete Awe

I dunno if you've been keeping up with this family or not...but they

http://cfhusband.blogspot.com/

are truely a testimate to God's love. The woman has cystic fibrosis, was on the lung transplant list, but not pregnant. They had to take her off the list. then at only 24 wks, her baby girl was born via C-section. No one knew if they could make it, and granted it's only been 48 hrs. since the birth but they say the baby is doing wonderfully! Sure, there are still many many things as a 24 wk baby to look for and watch for and take care of, but what a praise that she has made it this far!!!! And last night the father (who writes the blogs, Nate) got to touch his little girl for the first time. So precious! At 24 wks, and only 48 hrs. after birth she is already off the "no touch" list. Amazing!!! Please continue to pray for them!!!!

Happy Holidays

Well, the holidays have come and gone now and after New years, it's back to the old grind stone. Sad in some ways, the holidays are my absolute favorite time of year, but in other ways the beginning of a new year signifies a fresh new start. It may be cheesy, but I still do my new years resolutions, and I actually try to do them. I think goals are a good thing. You'll never get anywhere if you're not reaching for something. anyways, off my soap box now ;)

We had a great Christmas...stayed at home all day. Had good family time. James' first christmas was great. He was spoiled of course, but hey...that's expected right? hehe. I got some great things too...it was an awesome day!

It has been WONDERFUL having Jerm home! I wish he could be here everyday! I'll miss him when he has to return to work on Wednesday. Boo :( That's the way it goes I guess though!

Well- I have a few pictures from the holidays that I'll leave you with. I hope you all have a safe and fun New Years Eve/Day!

HAPPY 2008!
