Today was bizarre.............

You know how there are days where you just can't seem to get it together? Well, today was certainly one of those days for me! I woke up at 3 am, and couldn't sleep-my mind was racing with all of the commitments that I have for the week, and was starting to get overwhelmed. I tried to go back to sleep, and finally gave up after 7:30. I knew that I had so many things to do, but I just felt.........hmmm..........not motivated, grumpy, and not happy!! I know that I was not very kind to Kevin, and to be honest, didn't want to be!! I kept praying for a change of heart, and believe me, if you ask, you will receive!! I had a very encouraging phone call, and was able to see some things through the eyes of someone who has been in my current position. God knows what you need, when you need it, and who to send it through :0) I am thankful that God has sent some encouraging people to me when I have needed it the most, and I pray that I will be able to be the light when others need it.
On a side note, I got my grades for the semester...................I was happy that I got an A in anatomy and physiology 2, and an A in the lab!! So, as most of you know, sociology was the one I was worried about, and I e-mailed my professor to find out what I made on my final, and my final grade. I was disappointed that I got a C for my final grade. I know that God had me in that class for a reason, and I pray that what I was there for was accomplished. I pray that when it is time for me to apply to the nursing program, that God will work out all of the kinks that need to be worked out. If it is His will for me to be a nurse, it will happen, and in His timing!

Fun with Sabrina and Jordan!!


I haven't laughed this hard in a long time!! Oh my goodness!! What fun we had, talking about the usual girl stuff, (of course there is the unusual also!!) and thinking that everything was funny! I am glad that I have the opportunity to have young ladies that love the Lord, and choose to be a part of my life. I am thankful that God brought Jordan and her family here, she is a blessing to be around! We ate some special food requested by Sabrina, and then requested by several others when word got out!! I realize just how old I am getting, because we didn't go to bed until 3 am, and I now have no voice!! Oh well, it was well worth it! I can't wait for Sabrina to come home again, so we can have another girls night!!
Blessings,

Happy birthday to my girls!!




Today is a very special day for my family. It is the day that God chose to bless Kevin and I with 2 beautiful daughters.
Beatrice came into the world with a rather early entrance in 1997, and continued to show how strong she was, and how God wanted her to be a part this world. Little did I know that she would be such an amazing example of a Godly young lady. I am continually in awe at her, how she takes God's Word and truly wants to know it, and live it.
Gertie came four years later, and she broke the mold!! It is so true how two people can come from the same womb, the same parents & household and be totally opposite!! Gertie is fun loving and loves to be the center of attention. She is very loving and always is ready to give a big hug! Gertie is always ready to give us a laugh, and her smile is infectious!!
I know that I am a bit partial, but I think that they are just about the best 2 daughters around!! I am thankful that God chose me to be their Mom, and that he has such a wonderful sense of humor to give them to me on the same day!! I can't wait to see how God continues to use them as they grow!
On another note.....it has been brought to my attention by someone special (you know who you are!!) that I should put pics on my page. I have been trying to, but since I live where there is no DSL, I still have ghetto dial-up!! I have tried again , but it looks like I will have to go to a non-ghetto house that has something faster than a turtle for internet!! I will put some up soon!! :0)

Turtle???



Today started like any other day, I tried to be productive, and do some things that needed to be done around the house. I was able to do some laundry, clean the kitchen, and plan what I was going to make for supper. Kevin did alot of work outside...YEAH!! So, we were all getting ready to wind down when Kevin hollered for me to look out in the driveway. I didn't have my contacts in, but it was big enough for me to see......it was a turtle!! A really BIG turtle!! Apparently, he came all the way from the lake, and was heading up toward the road. We all had to go and look at him, he was scared, so he hid inside his shell, but it was a neat thing to show the kids!! Mr. Man kept wanting to pet "My turtle". Everything now is "his". You know, "his lake", "his turtle"....he is definitely 2!!
We had a fun time going down to the lake to put the turtle back in. I think that he was happy to be back in the water, and was even happier to be away from us!!
Blessings,

My first blog!!

Okay, so here I go into this new realm of blogging! I have a few friends that already have their own blogs, and I thought that I needed to get with the times!!
It is late, and I should be in bed, but I was so excited to get this first post up that I knew I had to do it now!! So, my plan for this is to update family and friends on the recent events of our lives....the important, and the not so important! I look forward to sharing our lives with all of you!
Good night to all, and have a great day tomorrow!
Blessings,
Kim
