Today



June 28, 1966 my amazing mommy was born.  Today, June 28, 2014, we will celebrate the life she had with family and friends.

My little family, along with my awesome brother and his family, my aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, great grandmother, my in-laws, and my great friends are all here in Florida together.  This has been a VERY rare occasion for us since she died in 1996.  

Today we will dedicate our precious son to the Lord.  So amongst the tears that I am sure will be shed, there is also much joy.  I know my mom would be here with us and be so proud of her family.

  
Today will be a day that goes down in history for our family once again, and I am so happy we are able to make this commitment to the Lord with our son on her birthday.  

Someday we will all be together again in Heaven celebrating Christ and His eternal love.  He is the one who has made all of this possible.  He is the one who will receive the glory today.

Can't wait to see her soon, Lord let us all be ready for you to come take us home!  
Today?:).

I need to catch up...

So...Independence Day weekend, a very special person in my life came to spend the weekend with me.  We had a party on Sunday the 3rd at  The Aqua , which was a lot of fun.  Monday we drove down to Indiana and I stayed there all week with some friends from my "home town."  Thank you Ashlen and Austin ♥.  I went down in preparation for my sweet friend's wedding on Saturday, July 9th.  I was a bridesmaid in the wedding...and wanted to be there to help set things up with her and her family. So...I plan to write more about my experiences the last few days..but right now I am stressed for time.  So I will post some photos until then.

this time last year..

This time last year my husband, our pup, and I were living in a tiny little truck bed camper in the middle of NO MAN'S land California.  Our energy was powered by a generator that we had to fill with gas every single day, and our heat was powered by propane tanks that were so old we could hardly find a place to get them filled.  Thanksgiving was a cold, gloomy, rainy day and we were stuck inside all day.  We tried to cook food on our tiny stove, but it was by no means a traditional Thanksgiving.  We watched movies almost all day and played with our pup, who was still new to us.  I was so heart broken, I could hardly see straight.  He held me together when I felt like falling to pieces.  I had a lot to be thankful for, I had my health, my husband, I had food, family...you know, all the things we are always used to having.  I was still so sad.  I wanted to spend the holiday cooking, eating, spending time with the people I love, being comfortabl...
