Now for an update.....

The kids are out on spring break this week.... I, however am not... I am on the last few weeks of school... only 3 I think... left to go...... I am loving history.. and have decided to minor in history.... I would love to teach it at the middle school level.... Who knew I would love history so much.... anyway... I am thinking about taking a math class this summer at mgm... and only math... because needless to say it is not my best subject.. but if I can do it... I will only have 2 more to go....

we are still working on getting my mom out here... I will be so glad whem the day gets here....

and Cole if you are reading this... I miss you so much and can't wait to see you this summer... if you decide to come home.... I love you...............

enjoy the layouts and try not to laught to much at them..... I haven't scrapped in months and was afraid that I had forgotten how...lol

an update and finally some layouts

this is Randi hunting for easter eggs when she was almost 3 years old.... this was a sketch.. that I used... and here is RAndi talking to her cousins... whom she dosent get to see that often... I love to watch them when they are all together...

I miss this boy so much....

just wish he really knew how much I love him...

Dear Lord, Give me strength to endure

This week and half have been terrible...my whole family has been hit with a terrible virus... vomiting and diareah(sp) as soon as one would get better.. then wam!! someone else started up... so needless to say, I haven't had much rest. I was supposed to go on a scrapbooking getaway with a group of my girlfriends... and well, that didn't happen. I was really upset.... and was really feeling sorry for myself. We had been planning this for quite sometime, so everyone else went without me... but, I am glad at least some one had fun. Today my husband and I have been busy cleaning and straightening up for 2 reasons... A. to get all the germs out.. and B. our house is being appraised tomorrow... no.. we are not selling.. we are just refinancing.... to do some upgrades to our house.. and to get my mom out here....
I can't wait for that. The day is getting closer.. I am looking forward to her being around.. so we can hang out like we used to. I miss her terribly.

School is still going great... I am studying hard.. and love my classes... even math... It is weird for me... I am missing being around to hang out and do whatever I want... but I really do love being in school.. and looking forward to finally putting on that cap and gown and walking down that isle for my diploma... what a proud moment that will be, not only for me, but, for my family as well. It will be at least 3 years but .. well worth the time and effort....

Ya ll continue to keep me and my family in your prayers.

WE need a complete healing in our overall health and also for Randi's knee... we go back to the orthopedic tomorrow ... hopefully she will be all clear....

God Bless you all

UPDATE AND A NEW HAIR DOO

i KNOW IT HAS BEEN A WHILE.... I have been very busy with school and all that I have to do here and at my office...

School is going great.. I have taken my first history test and my first math test so far... I do not have the grades on them...I am hopefully going to get them tomorrow... I will let you know....keep your fingers crossed.

I got a new haircut and color... it is not as light as I would like it, but my Best friend Kim has assured me that my hair really does look better with this color on it... the best she has ever seen.... I am hoping to get the picture from her...s oo you all can see my new hair...


I am soo tired tonight ... we went to Blake's birthday party tonight at jumps alot... it was fun.... but I am worn slap out!!! ( southern terminology... gotta love it.)

I guess that is all for now... I need to sleep... I have school tomorrow...

Thank you God!!!

It appears that the last child. Hannah loung has been found all the way in plackamans parish louisiana. Her clothing and shoes were still on her. She traveled a long way, I believe God had his hand on her. I am so thankful that she was found yesterday, because the family has been trying to get the mom to have the funeral services for the other children... and I just thought it would be terrible if they buried the others without their sister. So today they are all together in God's rocking chair. How wonderful does that sound? I know their mother would rather them be here on this earth, as would all of Alabama, be that as it may.... That is just not the case. Sad... I know... I have cried for these kids and their family. THis crime was just senseless... How could that monster look at those kids one by one and throw them off.... He will have to look at the face of God one day, and God himself will deal with him, one way or the other.

On a diffent note.


I have finaly found a scan and stitch for windows vista... sooo I will get back to scaning my layouts soon.....


THis past saturday, RAndi had a cheerleading competition...and they did great! I was very proud of her and the whole team. They Got first place, although the team they were supposed to go up against, dropped down a level right before they went on. so we were up against ourselves. but, it was a nice practice run. We have 3 more national competitions .. 2 in march and our last big one in panama city fl.... in april and then we are done... woo ooo.... until next season.:)

I guess that is all I have for you now,

Just continue to pray for the loung family.... they really need it. especially as they prepare to bury those babies bodies..... trust me.... it really is a hard thing to do... for a parent saying goodbye to a child is without a doubt devastating to their heart. Trust me... I know.

SOMBER DAY

Today.... the search teams found the 3rd baby thrown off the Dauphin Island Bridge,there is one more left to be found. I am praying that they find that baby girl and bring her home, so their mother can have some closure. Speaking from someone who has lost a child, Closure is important. just to say goodbye and pray with them one more time brings great comfort to a grieving parent.

So SPECIFICALLY tonight I ask that you pray that the last of her babies is found so they can be put to rest. Also, pray for their mother.


God give her strenth and bring her peace in this terrible tragedy. Let her feel your presence. and surround her with your angels wings. comfort her God. In JESUS NAME. amen



God bless you all
