Birthday Fun!

On our to Titanic
Yes, I am 27 ... Honestly I woke up Monday morning and felt different. There are just some birthdays you feel that way... At least I have!

My birthday weekend was amazing. And of course you know my hubby is the sweetest! So Saturday our church hosted pastors wives, women leaders, and ect for a couple hours of encouragement and some other fun stuff. Remember me talking about a special surprise that was being worked on for the retreat... Well because prayer lasted for a while no one was able to see our surprise. So this Saturday our assoctiate Pastor asked if we would like to surprise the ladies of this event.

Uh... YES!!

Meet Me At The Fair
This was our table... We had so much fun!! That is my lovely mother to the right and on of closest friends with me. There were other tables... (there were beautiful!)

Pink Candy Table

Let the River Flow
Are these not beautiful! These table teams did a great job! The ladies who were attending the event just giggled when they seen all this! It was such a blessing to see them blessed :)

After we went to the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN. LOVE LOVE LOVE that place!

It was so great! I'm going to post pics tomorrow of that. The Titanic deserves its own post :)

Sunday went to dinner with my in-laws... Where my mom-in-law INSISTED that I was sung to :) Whats a birthday without being embarrassed. For some reason Josh didn't take video...Oh well. Just use your imagination.

Then we actually went home.. And did nothing. My intent was to work on school work (which I should be doing right now). Then we went to get the rocks for Hope's balloon release. Then to Wally World :) Where Josh disapeared and kept calling me asking where I was. He was birthday shopping :)

We got home and he had bought me a cake!!


It was yummy!! He then gave my half of my present 2 canvas to paint on... Yes I paint... I love to paint. He said that he wanted me to have something to help me destress... He is so thoughtful... Have I mentioned that I'm pretty crazy about him? 

Monday morning he gave my second present 3 smaller canvas :D Love him!

Then I had my birthday lunch with some of my family... Which included one of my most favorite people in the world.... (get ready for a photo bomb) 

My cuz Jessica! She lives in another city for school so seeing her on my bday was AWESOME!!

Love my mom!

My birthday bunt cake :)

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...
