MORE TO BE THANKFUL FOR!

This week has flown by, or atleast for me it has! I am so thankful to have had a nice and quiet Thanksgiving! I have truly not been rushing and my life is peaceful! I am thankful that I have a family, my party of five! I have 3 absolutely beautiful children and a wonderful hubby who loves me and supports me! My husband and I both have good jobs with great salaries! I have the Lord in my heart and in my home! These are things I am thankful for! So many of my friends, family, and just random people are struggling today and trying to make ends meet. I pray that they will have what they need, when they need it. BE THANKFUL! THE LORD HAS TRULY BLESSED EACH & EVERYONE OF US WITH WHAT WE NEED, SO LETS BE THANKFUL FOR ALL WE DO HAVE!

Time for a New Moon

So, Paula and I went to the midnight movie to see New Moon. It was sooooooooo good & we had a great time! Taylor Laughtner is such a HOTTIE! Yes I know, he is only 17, he is only 17, he is only 17 (well atleast for a couple of more weeks)! I am sure I will see it atleast 2 more times before it is done at the theaters. If you have not read the books, which all of you know I highly suggest, then atleast GO SEE THE MOVIE!!!!! (:

Yesterday we went to the Rowlett Holiday Parade and David had to wear his firefighter outfit and of course, all the people at the parade and the people in the parade thought he was the cutest thing ever.

Now for the Holiday Season to begin! (:

Rushing, Rushing, Rushing...........I think it is time to SLOW DOWN

Do you, like myself, always feel like you are rushing all day? Get up, rush to get ready, rush to get the kids ready, rush to get them to school, rush to work, RUSH RUSH RUSH! I am so tired of rushing everywhere and anywhere! 4 years ago today my cousin, Dana, died of cancer and I know how fast that cancer rushed her life. As soon as she found out that she had cancer it seemed like she passed away within weeks. I know Dana would not be rushing, she would have slowed down and enjoyed all the little things in life. After today, no more rushing! I will stop and watch my kids draw a picture, let them read to me, let there be time for whatever they need me for! The laundry, housework, magazines, TV will all be there tomorrow, but will our kids?



In October 2004, a year exactly before Dana found out she had cancer, we were on a cruise with some of the women in our family. We had a blast! I still am in denial sometimes that she has passed. I feel so truly blessed to have gotten to spend that week with her, since we were the youngest of the bunch. (: Make sure that you don't rush, take the time and LIVE!
