Coming and Going

Do you ever feel like you meet yourself coming and going?  I have let that way lately.  We have been busy people.  I am not sure we were home one night all night long last week.  This week is shaping up to be the same.  This is okay, it makes life fun.

Next week is going to be fun, well not really.  Steve is going to have surgery on his knee he tore is ACL and a slight one to his meniscus. Would you guys please be praying for him.  I know it is not major surgery, but it is surgery on the less. We are just ready to be on the road to recovery.

Last weekend the boys and I were home alone, so we decided to have a mommy and sons day.  We went and watched a movie at the Discount Movie Theater. I love the discount movie theater. We all saw a movie for $6.00.  That is less than the price of one regular movie ticket.  We saw Cars 2, the boys had already seen it, but were willing to see it again with mommy.  Plus, they just love going to the movie.

We then went to Chick-Fil-A.  One of our favorite place.  They can play and mommy get food that she can enjoy.  I love the environment of it also, for the kids. After that, we went and got custard and went home.

I loved my day with the boys.  It was truly wonderful.  I am trying to cherish as much as I can because they are growing so fast.

what to do what to do

There have been a lot of changes for my family in the past six months or so.  We have moved to a completely different state.  My husband is no longer the pastor, he is the youth pastor (probably the easiest of the change.  We love youth pastoring and we love the kids we get the privilege to youth pastor). Now, both of the boys are now in school.

The past six years my life has revolved around these two little boys.  I fed them, changed them, bathed them, and played with them.  I don't do much that they are involved in.  They are most of the time with us. We firmly believe that they are our kids and it is our job to raise them.  I have enjoyed them and have enjoyed my time with them.

Now, I don't know what to do. I don't know if I should continue to be a stay-at-home-mom, if I should go to work part-time, if I should go to work-full time, or if I should go back to school and finish my degree. I really don't know what to do.  I am praying about this and seeking God's Guidance on this.  I just feel so lost. I feel like I have no job skills any more because I have been out of the workforce for so long.  I just don't know!

So could you please be in prayer for me.  I need God to guide me on this decision.

I am the Queen

I am the queen of starting a weight loss program and never finishing it or completing it.  I have started P90X , Prism, and Wii fit (if that counts) and I have only lasted on all of them for a couple of months.  I really don't know what my deal.  Well, I am not sure if that is true or not.


One thing, I know for sure, is that I like self control and Discipline.  I wrote a blog post about it a while back here.


Second thing, I think, is that I haven't changed my mindset.  I still love all those bad foods.  I don't enjoy planning out meals and thinking about what I am putting into my body.  I am a quick fix type of girl.  Those are not usually healthy good for you foods.  


I am going to try to plan out our meals for the week in just a moment.  Well, after I get done writing this blog post.  


I hate to announce it, but we are back at it again trying to lose weight.  I really want to be successful and change out lives. I want to be SKINNY! Well, what I deem skinny for me.  I want to shop in regular stores.  So I hope and pray this time we stick with it and we preserver through it. 

First Day of School

I had to do the typical first day of school picture of the boys.  They both went this year. Micah is in Pre-K and Levi is in Kindergarden.  I am not sure where time has went but they are both now in school.



I am so proud of them!  My two little men!

Phoenix 2011

We took our youth group on a trip to Phoenix, AZ for Fine Arts Festival/General Council of the Assemblies of God.  We had two kids preforming, one was singing, and the other did a short sermon.

There was about 10 of us total. The trip was so much fun.  

It took us 17 hours to get there.  We made it a two day trip.  Once we got over into New Mexico and Arizona, some of the scenery was beautiful!

Once we crossed over the New Mexico state line, traffic can to a stand still because of a truck that caught on fire.  We were stuck there for over an hour.  We were all standing in front of the van singing.  It was so much fun.  We made the best of a crazy situation. 

Once we got there we had services to go to. This is a picture of the last night service. It was fabulous.  It was a combines service of Fine Arts and General Council. They also award the fine arts participants who one in their categories.

We had fun packed week.  Since we were close, we decided to go the Grand Canyon.  It was a chance of a life time.  I have never seen anything so magnificent and gorgeous.  All of these pictures are phone pictures.  I forgot my camera.  I hope to take the boys back one day.

We made the trip back in one day!  It was tough and long trip.  We were glad to get home once we got there.

Beach Picture.

I just want to get caught up on the beach pictures, and then I will blog about school and maybe even out trip that we took to Phoenix, AZ with our youth group.



I don't know why but I love this picture of Steve and Micah.  Micah really adores his dad, and loves to do what Steve does.



Micah loved being buried in the sand.  He just loved the sand period.  Any kind of dirt, and the is game. The dirtier and messier the better, is his philosophy.



I love seeing the kids play together, because I know this time with them is so fleeting.  They truly do love playing with each other.




Sorry, my pictures are all different sizes. Had a hard time remembering what I am setting them to.



Levi loved the ocean. I was pleasantly surprised by his love for it.




Looking for crabs.





This was the best vacation!  We are all wanting to go back.  This family loves the beach!

Steve and I

I don't post many pictures of Steve and I. For the most part we are the ones taking the pictures, but the other day my friend offered to take a picture of us. We jumped at the chance. Sorry for the poor quality it is a phone pic.
