Princess of Quite A Lot

Four years ago today...

...I went to a different church
...I had a different job
...I emailed different people
...I didn't know what a blog or facebook was
...I had a son in elementary school
...I was PTA president
...I didn't know people who have made huge impacts on my life
...I put too much trust in people and not God alone
...the person I voted for won the election
...I was skinnier
...I worried about what others thought all day long

...I delivered a precious baby boy that never took a breath here on earth. 

As I look back over the last four years God has taken my life, turned it upside down, and shook it up.
I am grateful for that.  I am stronger and hold on tighter to God more than ever now. 
As I remember that day, I remember how my friends rallied around me.  I remember how a women who didn't even know me held out her hand because she knew what I was walking through.  I remember the nurses and my doctor giving me the time I needed while I held my baby. 

He is now in Jesus' arms.  One day I will get to hold him again. 
Until then I will cherish every moment He gives me with Dylan and Emma. 

Halloween Fun

Our first mini Bug A Boo was a success.  My goal for the evening was to create a place for our neighbors, family and friends to come and enjoy each other and enjoy fun activities.   I also hoped to meet some of our neighbors.  Before the evening even started some of our neighbors came over to thank me for providing a fun night for the neighborhood.  It made me even more excited for the night to begin.

People came and had fun!  I got to meet neighbors that I've waved to when I drive by.  I got reconnected to a girl I went to school with and she has 2 year old twins.  We hope to get them together to play.  My mission was accomplished. 

Dylan and Emma had a fun time too!  Dylan got to trick or treat with the middle schoolers.  Emma had fun decorating cookies and riding the train. 

I am already planning next years event.
