*****SIDENOTE: Meeting with my videographer, super excited. I know this will be something I can cherish for many years to come. My parents wedding tape is NO more. Right after their wedding, my mom let someone borrow it....and.... they recorded Days of our Lives over it...YES, you read that right. So sad isn't it. At least mom has a tons of pictures. Only a tad bit of their reception is left. Thank goodness I'll get THREE copies and they'll all be on DVD. There is some good to technology, eh?!
I can't believe I get to marry my BEST friend in the whole wide world. I'm so unbelievably blessed.
That's all for now. Hope everyone is staying COOOOOL in this dreadful HOTT summer weather.
Just have some folks on my heart and mind tonight, two in particular. One is family, and the other a lifelong friend.
Don't know what to do for them other than take them to my sweet Savior who is faithful to hear.
Lord, I give them to you. I feel like I'm at a dead end, and I don't know what else to do. Literally. You know my heart is heavy.Father, be near to them. Love them. Show them. Bring them to the cross where your precious blood was poured out so that we might be forgiven and have eternal life.
Will you join me in praying for my cousin Madison and friend Chris?
As I sit here typing this... I have a sweet little fella sound asleep right by my side. :)
My little Payton...
who is growing up WAAAY too fast for my liking I might add.
If you haven't realized it yet, I LOOOOVE this kid so much! He makes me laugh all the time. He's so funny, so caring, and so lovable. Not to mention CUUUTE!!
You are talking so good now, and you're making complete sentences. Some of your favorite statements are: "I know!", "Oh my stars," "Do it again," "Where," "Why,"...and I love them all!
You love Mickey Mouse & all his friends and Lightening "McQueeeeeen" :)I can have Paul call my cell phone and act like Mickey Mouse and you go wild! You like talking to Goofy too. Paul hasn't perfected his Donald Duck voice yet, but you always ask to talk to him too. :) You boys make my heart happy.
My prayer for you little man is that God will watch over and protect you. You are so little now, but I pray that your life would be filled with happiness, adventure, and most of all Christ. I wish I could keep you this tiny forever. But I know that I'd be robbing you of so many blessings.
I love watching you and Paul interact. He loves you little man. We both do. You are so loved. You and your big sissy both. I won't ever quit praying for you two.
Lord, watch over my sweet smush. You know how much I love him, and I can hardly comprehend that you love him waaaaay more. God, be near him always. Thank you for giving him to us. I pray that when the time is right, You'll prick at his heart and I pray that he'll be willing and receptive to accept You. My cup is running over Lord, thank you for your love and blessings. Help me to always return to You with praise.
