Getting Ready

I am in the middle of preparations. Trying to get things together that should have been together already. As I am typing this my bed is strewn with toiletries, misc. bags, diapers, pull-ups, carriers, cameras, shoes and a bunch of other stuff. The only one completely packed for this trip is my husband! His bag is a small duffel about half the size of mine and I didn't think that I packed all that much.
I feel so out of my box! The last trip that we made was for a weekend and we only had 2 little ones at the time. This time we will be gone for just shy of 2 weeks and we have 4 little bundles to entertain along the way.
I am excited! Very excited! I will get to see my brother who I have not seen in several years. My baby brother who is graduating from college! The only one of us to actually graduate from college! My dad who I have not seen in 8 years. And a grandma that I have not seen in over a decade. I do not feel old enough to use the words "a decade ago", but the truth is the truth. In addition I get to meet some folks that I have not had the pleasure of meeting in person yet.
I am also anxious! I am trying not to be. Moment by moment I am having to hand my anxieties over to my Heavenly Father. And of course am not suprised that He has handled everything so far. So why am I anxious about all that is yet to come when we get out on the road tonight? I know that everything will happen as He has planned.
Our journey will start sometime around 8 tonight. Please say a prayer for us and our travels. Please pray that we will enjoy each other while we travel and once we get to AZ. Prayerfully we will be packed and all ready and the house will be straightened by then.
I am going to try to update daily...maybe....and maybe with pictures. We'll see. Thank you, thank you!

Not the Momma I thought

This was written January of 2014 Last night I baked cookies with my doodle.  My youngest girl, my sweet Sam.  I didn't do it because I wanted to.  I didn't do it because I had a hankering for something sweet.  I did it because I didn't want her to ask me anymore.  You see my oldest decided she wanted to make cookies for another Awana club on Sunday.  We got the chocolate chips.  Had her pull the ingredients down.  Showed her where the recipe was on the bag.  Told her to have fun, she was on her own.  This "was her thing".  The two oldest made cookies.  Sweet Sam was left out.  Since, my sweet doodle has been begging (at times whining) to make cookies, cause this Momma promised we would.  She was right.  I promised.  I didn't give an exact day or time.  I don't know how I will feel from one moment to the next with these crazy pregnancy hormones.  And h...

Happy Birthday to me!

Actually it was yesterday but I'm just now getting around to writing about it. It was not quite as eventful as birthdays when I was a kid. They never seem to be anymore. The last one that a fuss was made over was 18 (I didn't do the whole "21" thing). These years they just seem to come and go like about everyother day, with the added benefit of dinner out. This one has definietly made memorable. It really was a great day depending on what perspective you take. I must say last year I wouldn't have looked on it all with such optimism. It started with breakfast with Belle and Cinderalla at Chick-fil-a. And of course my three most precious princesses were there to enjoy it with me. I even talked my hubby into coming and being our photographer for the morning. We made tiaras and the girls had their nails painted. Then they played in the Princess Bounce House. It was some very enjoyable girl time. After breakfast we went to Michaels. I haven't been th...

The Countdown Begins...

It has been a very hectic past few months. My oldest is now 6 and my middle child is 3, oh me, time is going by way too quickly! All followed up by my youngest turning 1 in October. eek! So the countdown started yesterday. I gave notice and my last day working outside of my home will be June 30th. Yes a long notice...but I felt like it was necessary. Even more necessary is for me to take on my God given role to raise up my children in the way they should go. I am excited and yet nervous. I am coming home to be a worker in my home - to the most important job that I could ever do! I definitely don't want to mess it up. So not only is the long notice for my current boss, but also so that I can prepare myself for all that awaits me. Things will definitely be changing in our household, but I am sure that they will all be for the better so long as we keep our gaze on Him.
