Well its been a while since I last posted and much is happening in our lives and around us. One of my bestest pals got married since I posted last and her and her husband honeymooned in Playa del Carmen, can't wait to see the pictures! The wedding was much fun and Crystal you were such a beautiful bride! Congrats to you and Brent!
Other than that we have just been keeping busy, but not really sure what has kept us that way! We have been enjoying the warmer weather this week, and my daughter has managed to catch that nasty stomach flu bug again (at least I think thats what it is)! Its been rather sparatic this time around.
I recently have been doing some couponing and what an exciting and challenging adventure that is! Thanks to the girls that have helped answer questions and get me started along in this journey!
Right now I'm just looking forward to summer and all that it brings. Can't wait for softball to start, and just enjoying the great outdoors! Oh and I have been doing some scrapbooking lately, I just love the new spring lines that have came out, just make me what to scrap more! At MOPS we had the option to have secret sisters and just yesterday I recieved a gift from my secret sister and it was filled with all kinds of yummy paper, that I can't wait to use. :) Here is my new paper! Thank you Secret sis!
Congrats are in order to the National Champions the Kansas Jayhawks! and yes i said National Champions!! Wow what a year to be a jayhawk fan a great football season and an awesome basketball season!! Those last two games were quite the nail biters and I think I wore out a path between my living room and kitchen just paseing. Rock Chalk!
Here is a picture of my fun new t-shirt my husband bought for me:
Some other exciting news in our household is that my daughter has finally started pulling herself up and is enjoying standing more, praise the Lord!
Last but most importantly: God is so good to us! I was reading in Nehemiah today and just realized what an awesome prayer he prayed and how applicable it is today. I just reminded me how important it really is to be praying and pleading before God for my country.
Nehemiah 1:4-11
"When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before God of heaven, Then I said: " O Lord, God of heaven , the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love hin and obey his commands, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Iseraelites, including myself and my father's house, have committed against you. We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses. Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying 'if you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.' "They are your servant and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand. O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servant who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man."
