I sound like a big wah-nanny

Life is good! My babies are back home. I know, I sound like a big wah-nanny but I don't function good when my kids are gone for more than a day. I try not to be stingy or shellfish with them but its hard. lol
Sunday we went to the church that Kevin proposed to me at. Yes, he proposed to me in a church! I know it don't seem like the most romantic spot but it was priceless. I can't hardly remember any of the words he said to me when he proposed but it was this big, long, speech that made me cry my eyes out. Of course I had no ideal he was going to ask me and I surely didn't think he would do it there. When he got down on his knee I started to bowed my head because I thought he was about to pray... lol Kevin is not a big talker (like me) but when he says things they are usually heart felt and pretty profound. Just one more thing I love about him!

Looking back at where we came from seeing how the Lord has blessed us. How he has blessed our children. How he has prospered us in so many ways, makes my heart hurt with thankfulness. So many times I have felt like saying, Lord who were we? Surly, there was someone more deserving? I know there were plenty who lived far better lives..... All I can do is live every day for him and if I live till the end of time it still won't be enough.

I'm thinking we will spend a good part of this week trying to make it to some revivals. Kevin's work hours are so random that its hard to know exactly what we will be able to do.
To all of you who have husbands that have regular hours be thankful. There is nothing worse than to have everybody and everything ready and then you get that call saying there is just no way he is going to make it home in time! I'm sure plenty of you know exactly what I'm talking about!

We Plan, God Laughs

We Plan, God Laughs
My kids have been gone all week to their Poppa's and Nanny's! You would think I'd be in hog heaven! but NO. I'm stuck here cause KP is on call and has been gone most of the week.
Plus, shopping is out because it's June and all our extra monies went bye-bye the second weekend!
KP has had this Summer time cough and sore throat bug. Now I feel blah! Being stuck here like this makes me really miss them! I really enjoyed the one week I dreaded (dreaded in a way) revival week and the week Ive looked forward to is now my least favorite one this Summer.
How does life always work out like that?




Happy Father's Day
This is a sweet picture I took of Kevin and Trenton during revival. Kevin prays with the kids every night, he tucks them in and kisses them. How lucky am I???

I'm lucky! Kevin is a wonderful father and husband. He is precious. Our children couldn't ask for a better daddy. They will tell you that now and I believe they will tell you that when they are older. I hope Blake and Trenton grow up to become the person Kevin is today and I hope CeAnna marries some just like him! I'm more then lucky I'm blessed!

don't cry over spilt milk or Italian roast beef!!!

There are not words for how I feel right now. How is it possible to hurt so bad on the outside but feel so good on the inside?

I was just in one of the best revivals. Physically, I worked till I hurt but spiritually, my cup run-nth over!
This revival was worth every spilt crock-pot of Italian roast beef, Every red velvet cake that fell apart when I tried to put icing on it. All twelve girls that I helped get ready in one afternoon!!! The list could go on... and on, but I wont!

I'd rather tell you about the five souls that the Lord delivered, the baby that the Lord healed, the minds that were renewed, including my own.

Yes, it was worth it! and I would do it all again.... just give me a week or two! lol!
I'm thankful! There is a song thats called Heaven will be worth the journey. Ive had it in my heart all week these are the words to it:

I know Heaven will be worth the journey when I get there

I know that city will be wonderful so bright and fair

When I see Jesus sittin’ on His throne

I’ll be so glad I made my soul press on home

Heaven will be worth the journey when I get there

Sometimes I get so weary traveling this old road

And I cry Jesus please come and help me carry my load~

Heaven will be worth the journey when I get there

I’ve been tempted I’ve been tested Lord knows I’ve been tried

There’s been times I have great victories other time I cry

But when I start to sit down along the way

Something in my soul begins to say

I know Heaven will be worth the journey when I get there.

and I believe heaven will be worth all of this and so much more!

Monopoly

Have I ever told you how much I use to love to play Monopoly? I doubt it. But I loved me sum Monopoly!
The best time to play was on cold, snowy, days. When school was canceled. That way you could play all day long (cause that's how long it takes) without being interrupted or sent to bed before you got done.
I was always the man on the horse. Most kids fight over who gets to be the car... not me... I picked the horse cause it is the tallest and easiest to move around on the board. Leave it to me, even as a child, I looked for the simplest way to do things!!!
Now my kids love it! Why does it feel so great for our kids to love the same things we did? I loved being a child of the 80's. There were so many good things that came from the 80's! I rented the Smurf's for Nana (what I call CeAnna sometimes) to watch. Monopoly and The Smurfs are not the same for me any more but my kids feel the same way as I did!

Now is the mad dash of June as what I like to call revival time! Half a week a way from ours at Huntsville. It's my spiritual Christmas! lol! It's a lot like Christmas in that it takes a lot of time and money and preparation and in the end if things are right someone will receive a gift!!! I pray this year that lots of people receive gifts!

My beautiful ditzy girl

"Momma do you know what IDK means" , Yes... "What?" I- Don't- know.... CeAnna laughs and said daddy didn't know it! Kevin said yes I did. CeAnna said you said you didn't know! lol

Six Flags

KP decided we needed a mini family vacation. I was thinking the beach but somehow (Trenton) we ended up choosing Six Flags. The deal was Trenton had to ride EVERY ride that we wanted to ride but he could choose one, to opt out of. It sounded all good in theory. We didn't have to worry about CeAnna chickening out on the big rides, she is our little dare devil. CeAnna need to be 55 inches tall to ride all the rides. Shes 54 inches so I gave her a rocking 80's hairstyle to make up the difference. We did manage to get Trent on a few big roller coasters. Unfortunately, CeAnna's big ponytail didn't' count :( We got side lined for most of the rides. That was fine with me I was feeling a little weird.

We had Memorial Day plans but I woke up feeling awful. Thankfully our doctor was open and we both have Strep Throat. I would write more if I felt better but I know you understand......
