in just two short days, march 2010 will be over and my sweet little girl will be 21!! where has all the time gone??? so to caiti, HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY to the best daughter in the world {at least from my biased opinion!!} God was so good to us to bless us with you and He continues to bless us through you and He continues to bless you, what a good God!!!
EXACTLY two months from this date, our oldest son will be married!! very exciting and yet so much to do... i have 2 pages of their life album done and have a gazillion more to do... but what another reminder of how God has blessed us through Josh and now with Leah as the soon-to-be newest member of our family.
we had a busy week two weeks ago while Leah was home on spring break. a bridal shower at the church and then one here at our house hosted by caiti and i. what a wonderful time we had seeing the two of them blessed by so many that care for them. what a special gift to watch as a parent as others shower your children with tangible gifts of love. for that, i am so grateful.
i spent last week recouperating from all the festivities and was the last one in our house to be "blessed" with the flu!! ugh! but i did get through the showers and then got it, so i took that time to get some much needed rest!!
had a wonderful weekend with family and friends! met a childhood friend for a wonderful lunch on saturday, too fun & too fast!!! definitely will have to schedule those more often!! then on sunday my niece was baptized and our family all went for the celebration. afterwards, we had a nice LONG lunch together, just spending time and catching up. on my way home, i stopped by my dear friend julie's house to see her. we had "christmas in march" as we exchanged gifts that we have been holding onto... complete with santa gift bags!!! too fun, but definitely a sign that the two of us need to spend MORE time together MORE often!!!
i hope that your last few days of march is starting out wonderfully... the sun is shining here and begging me to come outside and soak it in. i think that this afternoon a nice long walk is due for me and buddy!!! that will make me feel renewed and refreshed.... enjoy your day!!!

Friday, March 12
has it really been nearly a month and a half since i last blogged?? doesn't seem possible how fast time is really going...
but today as i type this i am grateful. not everything going on in my world is "perfect" {but what really is perfect anyway??}, but i am grateful that no matter what the circumstances that i am going through, God is with me. Not only is He with me, but when necessary He carries me. For this love from Him, i am awed, undeserving but eternally grateful.
this year has been a full one already, but there is still so much more to come... my word for this year is renew. fortunately I can say that i am seeing renewing in me, in relationships and simply in earth as spring is approaching. renewal is something that happens after every winter in the earth, i feel as though i am awaking after a winter's rest, what a wonderful feeling!!
i know that the renewal process is not over, it never is or growth stops happening. for the growth and renewing that i see today in me and in others, i am thankful. for the growth and renewing that i will see in the future, i am thankful. i am thankful that scripture says, "they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up on wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." isaiah 40:31. what a wonderful promise from God, today and everyday, i am holding on to this!!
i hope that your friday is going well and that you are looking forward to a wonderful weekend, i know that i am. we are going to the first shower for my son's future bride, how exciting! this is such a happy time for them and for our families. i hope that you have something happy to look forward to today!!

it is FEBRUARY 1, 2010~how did it get to be the second month of the year already??!! the year is 1/12 over!!! oh well, i am thankful for another day of the year and another month!!
i got home yesterday from our annual girlfriend winter trip to kansas city with my best girls from junior high. as always, it was a blast!!! {that's 80's lingo!!} the drive there flew by as sonja and i gabbed the entire time, we were there before we even knew it!! then denise got there and the full party began!! we talked, we ate, we talked, we shopped, we talked, we ate, we talked, we saw a movie, we ate, we talked, we shopped........ i think that you get the idea.
denise took us to a great shoe stop called bob jones again this trip, i FINALLY got a pair of wellies!! now my feet will be stylish AND dry!! then we went to this wonderful store called Prydes of Westport. what didn't they have?? they had EVERYRHING kitchen, towels, aprons, appliances, tools; they had decorative pieces, pictures, decorations, etc, etc, etc; they had paper goods, holiday items; they had food items, jellies, jams, mixes, etc... BUT in the basement of this WONDERFUL establishment they had a pie shop called the upper crust. we had some yummie quiche, oriental slaw and pie for lunch. then denise bought us all mini pies and cookies galore to take home...Pryde's is on the agenda for every annual kc trip!!!
then we went to the plaza to shop.... tiffany's, williams-sonoma, swarvoski, burberry, better cheddar, hall's.........with a mid-afternoon break for drinks and a margherita pizza at brio's. what a wonderful time on the plaza.... denise of course treated sonja and i to many prizes along the way.
after this, there was more... we went to lydia's, the MOST amazing italian spot with such ambiance!! we had the pasta trio which is the chef's three choices for the day that they just keep coming by and serving to you straight from the hot pan!!!! and the most amazing bread!!! and of course, denise duped us and got the bill even though sonja had given the server HER credit card!!
we went back to the hotel for denise to divy up the goodies from upper crust and for a night cap of cookies!! then denise headed home for a very busy sunday before flying to new york for a business trip. sonja and i headed home after breakfast sunday morning!
what a whirlwind weekend filled with laughter, fun, and prizes everywhere we turned!!! can't wait for the next time!! maybe one day sonja and i will get sly enough to dupe denise...... but i doubt it!!
i hope that you had a wonderful january and a wonderful weekend!! welcome to february 2010, i hope that it is filled with blessings and love for you!! i am looking forward to a month of renewed times.......

is it REALLY december???
where are you 2009.... i think you're hiding....
i have been so busy..... i think i missed you....
please come and stay today, tomorrow... and so on.......
i am in shock that 2009 is neary over!! it doesn't seem possible that we are going to be closing the book on this year and enter a new decade!!! time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future......
okay, i will TRY to not make any more references to songs or lyrics...
this past week has been crazy at our house~a new section of decking around the pool, a new fence around the pool, 2 new bathroom floors, a carpet removal and hardwood restoration on the living room floor, new dining room curtains (and one entire wall in my dining room is windows!!), new curtains ordered for the living room and back hallway/butler's pantry... whew!! and i have 20 Christmas cookie exchange bags to sew for my sweet friend djt in kansas city!!
this is going to be a very exciting and busy month for our family... our first born is moving into HIS FIRST place of his very own!!! he and his fiance are going to get his things moved in and settled into their place but she is still away at school until right before their wedding in may!! life is so exciting but moving so fast!! i am thrilled for him and his beautiful fiance`, God has truly blessed the two of them with each other~ we could not have asked for anyone better!
i even went out and bought them hand quilted and embroidered stockings to hang in their new place...... i am excited!!
i also went out and BOUGHT Christmas cards this year!! i know.... gasp, shock, unbelievable!! we just have so much going on and i need to be scanning photos for the kids' big wedding project but instead i am doing household stuff!! so, i purchased cute handmade cards this year. i am going to put personal messages in them and a family photo... but they are not handmade... so sorry to disappoint anyone, but life DOES GO ON!!
well, i hope that all is well with you and yours... i hope that you enjoying this wonderful season that is upon us. i LOVE Christmas and ALL that it means... Jesus coming to earth as a baby to save us from our sins, the reason for this blessed season. I LOVE all of the music, the carols, the bells ringing and even grouchy people, because then i can smile and say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS" to them NOT "happy holidays", i want happy holidays and can have them because of CHRISTMAS!!!
enjoy the moments, the minutes, the hours, the days and the memories......
