Counting Mine... and other stuff

Oh Yes another weekend has come and gone. I've gotten a lot done this weekend. It's been a nice a weekend! And I'm SOO excited about Josh and I's weekend next week! Only one week away!!

I'm doing my first One Thousand Blessings with Kate's Life...So glad I found her blog. Her candidness cracks me up! =) But before we do that...

Here is some pics of my weekend funness!

I dyed my hair! I used the new foam type dye! WOW!! Coming from Someone who has home dyed her hair many MANY many times this was the easiest!
This is the dye
 
Finished and styled


Josh approved and it seemed to be liked. Which I was ready to be back brown. The color was Iced mahogany dark brown.







So I was then ready for DATE NIGHT!! Yay! One of our NYR was to try different things. So we headed to Latitude 35, a restraunt/club downtown in the square. No, people we didn't go to the club it was closed and thats not our scene anyway... The restraunt was very modern. I liked it! Our waitress could have been a little more attentive, but the food was great!

I apologize for the qaulity of picture but hubby took it with his Ipod. Anyhow, this a Cajun Po'Boy (fried shrimp,Cajun mayo, Dijon mustard,red onion,lettuce) with Chedder Grit cakes..IT was tasty. I didn't get a pick of mine Boo! But I had an ultimate grilled cheese. It had white chedder, bacon, and granny smith apples on it. It was different but very good! So hooray for trying something different.




We then headed to the Mast general store, which had all of this retro candy! And some old toys from our past... Apparently Josh pitched a fit for this toy.. The Inch Worm. =)

After that it was getting a bit chill so we decided to go back home and watch a movie. Well we went to Wal-mart and got Transformers 3...Which I think is one of the best movies!!

Then of course we found a game on sale which we played today which was a blast! You definitely have to use your imagination

All in all a great date night that ended with  a movie and 2 bags of popcorn... and some yummy candy we got from the general store! =)


OK now I will count my blessings...
1. That I have an amazing church family

    Love that you're doing this too!

    Jealous of your weekend away with your precious husband.

    And your hair looks terrific! I want to try that foaming colour but I have really, really, really thick hair and the only other time I colored my hair at home it was a hot mess!

    Sounds like such a fun weekend!! The hair foam stuff sounds interesting. I stopped dying my hair a while ago, but it's good to know that better products are available !

    Have a great week!

One year ago today my life changed

Image
One year ago today a new season in my life was manifested. One year ago this morning around 2am we lost our precious baby. Hope would be around 4 months right now had she been meant to stay on this earth. Even though my heart is broken I feel Gods presence with me today, so strong. Through many talks and prayers with my God, I made it through these last few days without being devastated. Through my obiedance I believe God gave more healing to my heart. Sunday morning was extremely difficult. But I received so much support. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. My sweet friends and family held me hand, rubbed my back, gave me hugs as I stood for the first time as a mom on the stage with the rest of the moms. I can not even begin to describe how much they helped. I know without their support and God's supernatural strength I wouldn't have made it through. As I left service I felt a little lighter, a little bit of that dark grief left. Last night was our women...

Never dreamed...

Starting last Monday this week was a complete roller coaster. Not sure if I could ever explain to anyone how painful it has been. I've struggled with if I should write about my experience. To write about something so close to you can make you seem so vulnerable. Writing has always helped me. I've kept a journal since I was nine. I've always been very analytical with my feelings and things going on around me. Which is why I have a journal, a prayer journal, and a blog :) Crazy, I know. I usually don't have much time to write in any of them, but the blog. I wonder how many women suffer silently because of what this one even does to us emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I don't want to suffer alone. I needed to know that what I'm feeling is normal. Even though people can be very sympathetic, some seem like it is no big deal. It was a big deal. And every second with the Lords help I'm making it. Last Monday night I had a miscarriage. Even as I type ...

I am the mom not you

Through out my life there have been many times where unsolicited advice has been overwhelming, frustrat ing ,and hurtful. There has been three times that it was all the three above. 1. When I got married 2. When I had a miscarriage 3. When I had Ethan A few months ago I asked mothers to send me things that pertained to mothering their children. Some responses were heartbreaking and made me m ad to be honest . Some were your typical insensitive things that people say. I started writing this post to give examples, but I could not continue because honestly I was getting too angry. Some of the moms I have talked to have really suffered in silence by what some others have called "help" or just saying their opinions because they "care". My heart hurts so bad for these women.  I am a pretty bold person. I have had my moments where I have had to kindly put some one in their place. I also have had to be firm. Mothers need to feel empowered! These...
