Forever Beloved

Faith, Love & Truth

**grateful**


1 Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

i am grateful for my family. i have an amazing husband who is better to me than i deserve. he always, without thinking twice about it, puts the kids and i before himself. i adore this man…and am so grateful for him in my life. i really feel like God had a HUGE part in where our relationship stands right now.

i’m grateful for amazing children who make me laugh daily…seriously, like pee my pants laugh. joey is dang hilarious, he has humor very much like me. and jade, oh my gosh, she kills me. a lot of times she isn’t even trying to be funny and i am just rolling on the floor. last week jade told us about a dream she had…”we were all singing church hymns and pigs came in and started moving their ears to the beat of the song”…ok that is really funny stuff!!! the funniest thing to me about it…that she seriously dreamed that.

i’m grateful for the parents God chose for me. he gave me THE best parents ever, i’m quite sure of that. i know i’ve talked of my mom here before, and how she is my hero…seriously, she is. i know i’ve said this before but i just hope and pray that someday i can be the mother she is.

i feel much luckier than other children as i have two sets of parents, not just one. i have adoptive parents that didn’t even hesitate when i said i wanted to find my birth parents. and one i found my birth parents i also found out i had 3 brothers. seriously, waited my ENTIRE life for siblings!! and now i also have awesome sister-in-laws that i totally consider my sisters.

i’m grateful for the most amazing friends ever. i have friends i’ve had for years and new friends…i just love having friends that all have the same morals, values, faith and outlook as i do…i love our time spent together whether it’s watching a parade or hanging out at someones house. so thankful!!!

another week full of busy

our weeks, from now until the end of october, are just consumed with busy…cheer, football, games, practices, church, fitting in some *end of summer* fun, overtime and photoshoots…it’s busy BUT i kinda like it…i LOVE watching my kids play sports and cheer…this week joey started practice 5 days a week, ugh…kinda makes it a teensy bit hard to make other plans.

i’m hoping it doesn’t rain on friday then joe and i are going to take the kids to blands park (it will ALWAYS be blands park to me) for the day. although we’ll have to take football equipment with us and leave there early to have him to practice at 5.

not much blogging time today…i have to run to the warehouse-o-creepy to search for a file before i head home. poor joe has the flu today so i will have a half hour once i get home to get the kids fed and out the door….i can do it!!!

monday…monday…so good to me…

well i’m not sure i’d classify mondays as “good” but…it could be a lot worse. what is rough for me on mondays is i have to work switchboard all day long…all day of checking in visitors and answering the phones…not my ideal monday BUT at least the day goes fast.

i head back to the dr after work today about this stupid leg. i’m just so so so worn out with it. hopefully the antibiotic is working BUT i’m not holding my breath on that one. it’s still red and still has a fever at the infection site. i would think after 6 days of antibiotics i should see a better improvement. and i have had a slight fever off and on over the last few days. grrrrrr….STOOOOOPID leg!!!!

joey had equipment pickup at school today for football…woo hoo…he’s so darn excited!! he is number 36 and is a lineman. tomorrow starts practice with pads and such, he’s crazy excited about that too. me, not so much…i think it’s the “practice 5 days a week” that makes me not so excited. and the fact that we live too far away to just drop him off then go back home.

i had an amazing photoshoot saturday evening and can’t wait to see how they like them. i LOVE them, they sure have some super photogenic children that were full of smiles! and their dog ::swoon:: i sooooooo loved it!!!! another photoshoot this weekend for senior pictures. can’t wait!

we went on a long long 4-wheeler ride yesterday with some friends of ours, had a blast! speeding through mud, covered in dirt and dust…this girl loves it. although i’m not so much for the mud getting in my eyes or my mouth…anywhere else i could care less about.
