A Gem Well Taken

The moment you realize you're a gem, is the moment you are swept off your feet!

Another prayer request...

Noah is off to surgery number two tomorrow, so please be keeping us in your prayers. The surgery will begin at 7:30 a.m. and should only last about an hour. The good news is that we know what to expect this time and he won't have to stay the night if all goes well. Thank you for keeping our little guy in your prayers! I'll update with a good report as soon as we get home! :)

A gift that keeps on giving...



So I’ve been slacking a bit on the whole blogging thing, but to be honest I don’t feel too bad about it! Maybe it’s because I don’t have time these days to really even give it much thought. So as usual, my sister…Metromom, reminded me it would be really nice to see an update today, so this one’s for you Metromom!

I got to thinking of what really fuels me, what excites me and what makes me smile. So this may sound really superficial, but I love gifts! Not only to give, but I also love to receive them! Gifts come in as number one when you’re talking about my love language. I’m not sure why it makes me so happy, maybe because that person was thinking of me or maybe it’s just because I love the gift. Now it doesn’t take much to make me happy, so don’t start thinking I’m high maintenance here. I could get a card in the mail, an item from the dollar spot at Target, a Starbucks coffee or even something at Circle K would make me happy. When I was a kid I would tell my Dad to get me a surprise every time we would be at the gas station, and it really didn’t matter what he would bring because it always made my day.

So how I got on this subject is because a good friend of mine gave me a Christmas present last year and the gift just keeps on giving! She is an amazing and talented woman who I love dearly, and for those of you who are privileged enough to know her, you would know her as Jax! So as you can see from the picture, the flowers are beautiful and it reminds me of her every time I see them!

Picture update!







Can I just say I feel like I'm living in some kind of dream land! I never could have imagined I would be so richly blessed!

She's here!




The suspense is finally over and our beautiful daughter Juliana Marie has joined us! She was born February 2, weighing 7lbs 3oz and measuring 20 ½”! She is so precious and will definitely fulfill her nick name as, “Our little Jewel”! I’m doing great; labor was a breeze this time thanks to the epidural! Keep posted for more pictures to come!
