The Sweet Life of the Reeses
(Go over and check out Sherry's site. Such a cute family!)

I'm Lovin that I have this link up to do. Focusing on the positive is so helpful

I'm Lovin that on Saturday I had family over and we grilled out.

Eli loves his Monkey back pack. Every time he would bring it to us.  "Go" 

Is this not sweet! My brother and his babies! :)
Me and my Eli... Is he not just precious! 
Josh and his baby. LOL... there is the famous menacing Pixel :)
Grams came by. And of course had toys in her trunk! Olivia loves her Grandma
My Aunt S... Isn't she pretty? She had her grandbaby with her but I didn't get a pic. She was sleeping,
For some reason this is the only shot I got of the parents. LOL



It was a relaxing weekend. And I made it through without breaking down. Actually God gave me so much peace. I felt the prayers being lifted up on my behalf. I don't know if I mentioned this but there I will be attending a woman's retreat at the end of September. Hosted by our church. 52 women will be there. I know God is going to do amazing things. We are only 32 days away :)  I can't post too much because there are so many surprises! But don't worry you will get the pics and juicy details post retreat :)

Oh and I have a great Pixel story but I'll share tomorrow. 

Part 5 of our love story coming up Wednesday. If you need to catch up the links are under the "Mr. and Mrs." Tab. 

Have a great Monday! Happy Blogging!!

One year ago today my life changed

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...
