Forever Beloved

Faith, Love & Truth

my heart is there…

when joey was a baby i was blessed with being able to stay home with him for a little over a year…then i became pregnant with jade and others thought it would be better for us financially if i went to work, and so i did…that was 12 years ago…since the very first day i went to work i’ve felt my heart was at home and i knew i made the wrong decision…

since that day my heart has been calling me back home…but then, tons of things run through my mind and i second guess myself and what decision i should make…will everyone will think i’m CRAZY for quitting a state job?  will we be able to make it financially?  at this point in my kids lives (ages 11 and 13) is there even any sense in it?  would they even want me at home?  will everyone think i’m just lazy for wanting to stay home? 

within the last year the Lord has really been working on my heart about it…He has given me a talent that i can use to be able to stay home financially (my photography business)…He has showed me that what others think doesn’t matter but my family thriving DOES…and i know that if i trust Him fully, He will provide…i am going to let Him lead me by the hand to where He wants me to be…

please…say a prayer for me, my decision, my business and my path…and hopefully within the near future i’ll be working for the best company around, my FAMILY!!!

out for now

our last day…boooooo

i can’t believe it’s our last day here, booo…although i’m sad to see it come to an end, i am going to be VERY happy to sleep in my own bed once again & to have some AIR CONDITIONING…i’ve complained to joe for years that we don’t need air at home, that we live in the country and can just open the windows and let the breeze blow through BUT at this point i will welcome it…we are in the second row of houses so the first row gets the breeze off the water…
every morning the kids and i would go lay on the beach early early and feed the seagauls…or “seagauligans” as jade called them…we laughed SO. HARD. every morning, like seriously almost-peed-my-pants hard…this first picture has “mr. mean neck” in it (yes, we named nearly all the birds)…mr. mean neck is just as his name says, MEAN…he would tuck his head way back in his feathers, make this awful squawking sound and chase all the other birds away to get all the bread himself…he wasn’t so much into sharing at ALL…
again, another picture of mr. mean neck…it was hard to get a picture without him in it…BUT what i want you to pay attention to here is that awesome raft in the background…our neighbors brought this raft and shared it with us and it was A-MAZ-ING!!!  it can fit 6 people on it very comfortably, it also had a netting in the middle so the water would splash up through and keep you cooled off…it has an anchor so you don’t have to worry about floating off…i would DEFFO recommend an investment in something like this and i can tell you the cutlers WILL be buying one before next year…
awwww…joe said i look like i’m kissing santa…and yeah, this was my basic hair style for the week, pulled back in a big fat messy bun…
