Homesick

So, tonight i'm a little blog happy...well picture happy anyway! I was just sitting here being very saddened by life. I think its so comical how sometimes we wish for things...and then we actually get it. Looking back on my wishes...were they all everything they were thought to be? I definitely think we did the right thing moving...am I happy in this moment, not so much. But, I do feel peace, that for some crazy reason we are where living on the map in the right general area. Lately though, my heart has been LONGING, yes I do mean longing, for the relationships that we had in Illinois. I think Alex has been feeling the same way on some level. We have such precious friends and I miss them more than life itself. Honestly, my heart aches to wrap my arms around some of the precious people that we love there. I can honestly say, even with 12 hours separating us, our friendships will never grow distant. They mean that much to me...working at it no matter how hard it gets. These awesome families have buried themselves deep within my heart. I love you all...please know that!!! I'm done crying now...its midnight and I'm going to try to get in bed while my cold stricken son is sleeping! On a final note...Just take a look at this love!

















Memories

So, one of my husband's closest friend's has really developed an interest in photography. Everytime we are with him he spends his time love and photographing our family! We love Chilin and Michelle so much. There friendship means so much to us and now his pictures are some of my favorite of my babies! There's alot..I couldn't narrow it down. Enjoy!
























Not Me! Monday!




So! If you haven't been over to check out Mckmama's blog...you NEED to. Her life is right in the middle of a miracle right now. She has a precious, healthy baby boy, that was diagnosed to die in her womb. She followed her heart and the Lord's leading and believed in her miracle. She now has a very healthy five week old baby whose heart is so strong and has yet to show one threat of any kidof failure! She is giving God all the glory for her precious little MckMiracle! She also has three other children and is absolutely hilarious!
She has started Not Me! Monday's as free therapy for people across the maps! You blog about your Not Me's and link back to her blog, where you can read everyone else's! Its great, check it out! You can read here in her original post about how it all got started...http://www.mycharmingkids.net/2008/09/not-me-mondaythe-complete-rules.html. You can go to that link or click on the box in my sidebar!
On to my Not Me's!
TODAY, I most certainly did not let my kids go into school late so that I could get thirty minutes of extra sleep and shower while my absolutely handsome, totally destructive man was still in his crib...no Not ME!
This week, I did not take my (dirty) kids to church, without baths, so that we wouldn't be anymore late than we already were...no I would never take dirty kids to church, not me.
I most certainly did not study more information than necessary, while studying for my finals, because of being careless and not looking at my notes correctly, I would never be careless, or waste time, not me.
I did not walk out of Big Lots with my girls, never realizing that Bella was taking a toy phone that we never payed for, because its hers, because everything's hers. I did not notice because my six year old started screaming at the top of her lungs...."Bella's STEALINGGGGGG"! I would never allow that to happen and I would notice of course, because I am completely attentive to my children in public and know at all times what they are doing!
My son did not have to go to bed last night in dirty pajamas, because all of his were dirty and he had nothing clean to put on. I would never let my laundry pile up that high! Not me, i'm a perfect housewife.
I did not miss my baby boy pulling up to stand on his own for the first time, because I was so busy and taking so much time in the bathroom. I am always with my children and never miss a second of their lives.







Wow! This is pretty therapeutic! We better be careful, MckMama might start charging! Tune back in next week to hear about all the awful things that I would NEVER do!!!=)
