The weather is so nice today that I want to sing out loud! I will spare you all and hold that to myself...
But on a beautiful day like today, I can't help but think (as the mounds of housework slowly decrease and I feel I have a better grip on things) of all of my blessings. I have two AMAZING boys to watch grow and flourish with school and activities, I have a wonderful husband that loves me and takes care of us, all the things we need to survive, and a great family.
I know even though I can ramble all day about the blessings in my life, I did not acquire anything on my own merit. I am nothing on my own. And in knowing this, I also know that His path for my life could include that things are taken away. I pray God would give me the strength to praise Him then too.
We have been talking some in Sunday School about praying for a "hedge of protection" around your home and family. I know not a lot of folks read my little blog, but does anyone out there do this? I have recently been asking the Lord for this, and I know He can do all things. Right now, I just want to praise Him for what I have, what He is doing in my life, what He will do in my life, and the fact that He holds it all in His hands.
We've received good news in the floor saga the last few days. We are so thankful. Looking forward to having it fixed, and as we should always be...looking up!

Thank You, Mr. Weather...and Happy Birthday to ME!
We wanted you to get cooler, we wanted fall to "feel like" fall...but with your abrupt change you bring the sniffles, croup and some sort of something that I just can't cough up.
We are the "Sick Family," as Parker says. It happens a lot, and we have all been coughing and snorting and sniffling for the last two weeks. This weekend's cooler temps have not assisted us in getting past this either.
Thursday night Logan scared us. I was on my way to the E.R. with him at midnight. Luckily, he got better, so we called the on-call physician and came back home. But his pediatrician suspects what I have feared: asthma. Asthma was something I dealt with as a young teen and in college, and I prayed my children would not have to deal with it. But we are now on a preventative medicine. Now my prayer is that when our mold issue is cleaned up, we will be healthier again.
October 4th is the day work begins to rip out our old floors and replace them in the living room, and we do the drainage work on the crawl space. I am not looking forward to the small demolition work inside my home, but I am excited to get the toxic mold out from under us! If it has caused the cough for the last year...GOOD RIDDANCE!
I had a wonderfully quiet 31st birthday, aside from Alabama football nearly giving me a heart attack. I can't believe I am 31. It just doesn't seem right. I guess adding the years can be exciting and depressing, but as my Momma always says, "it's better than the alternative!" I guess she's right. The Lord has blessed me with a lot in 31 years. So I will keep on going. I am a little anxious to see what the next 31 bring!
