Well like I said before I knew it it is now May.
This month has a special day in it for all us Moms...Mother's Day. This Mother's day was a nice day but I was focused on what a privilege it is to be a Mom. I waited a long time to have my precious son and there are some women who will never have the privilege to be called Mom. I don't ever want to take for granted the fact that a wonderful boy calls me "Mommy". Because of this privilege I've been given I strive to be the best Mom I can be. A God honoring mom! There are many days I fail at this tasks but God's mercies are new each morning and I can rise each day and strive again.
Speaking of motherhood I would like to share some things that have made me smile in my motherhood recently. When Kurt had hurt his big toe,while he was telling me about it he referred to his big toe as his big foot finger. I have to smile every time I hear that.
Another instance he was looking at a form to fill out with his information in case he ever got lost or kidnapped (God forbid) but as he was reading the different entries he came to the "race"....he said "Mommy is this so they know how fast I can go". I just love the innocence of children.
Last month I mention we were embarking on a journey that I wasn't sure where it would take us... well I now know that this journey will keep us right where we are(geographically speaking). I am so thankful for God's guidance and I know that His plans are best for me.
Kurt and I can see the end of school very near and I think were both looking forward to it. He is also looking forward to going camping over the Memorial Day weekend. I am as well but I don't think I'm as excited as he is.
Until next time...

April
April is here and you'd think the sun would be shining and the warmth would be outside but neither is happen at my home. The beginning of this month has been cold and rainy. Times flies so I know that May will be here soon!
I have to tell you that this week I participated in a online women's conference for the first time. It was so cool to be able to hear all the wonderful speakers and still be at home. We were even able to chat with the speakers and ask any questions we might have had. I was able to connect with one of the speakers and now we are friends on facebook. I just think it is so cool! Computers are a great way to reach alot of people. Which makes me think about how some people I know that think the computer is an evil thing that Satan is using. Well, I agree that Satan can use the computer for his evil BUT Christians are using it as well to further Christ's kingdom. The computer itself isn't evil, it's how a person chooses to use the computer that can be evil. It's all about our choice, that's what life is about choices. Let's make good choices that please our heavenly father. Amen?!
Life here at our house hasn't changed much. Ed is in the same position at the bank and just taken it a day at a time. I feel God has bigger things in store for Ed. You'll have to stay tuned to see what I mean. We have embarked on a journey that I'm not certain of the outcome yet. I will let you know later!
Kurtis finished his Upward basketball program and his Awana program as well. He received his ribbon for finishing his 2nd year Sparkie book. I'm so proud of him! There is alot he had to memorize and he did such a good job!
We are both looking forward to finishing school and having a bit of a break. I'm thinking about my options for next year,cause I'm not 100% sure of what we're gonna do as far as school is concerned.
Easter is just a few days away and I'm having my in-laws for dinner. Looking forward to fussing over the meal(i like to fuss). I'm preparing ham,of course, mashed potatoes,candied carrots,ambrosia pistachio salad, deviled eggs,rolls and butter and for dessert some chocolate chip cheesecake. Looking forward to it!
Well, until next time...

Spring
March is more than half over and it is beginning to look like spring outside,however it is still a bit chilly. Nonetheless, the yard is in need of some attention and I must attend to it today. My hubby is going to help but my I add that it is NOT his favorite thing to do. He would much rather watch the March madness. Speaking of the March madness, do any of you fill out brackets. I do! I especially love it when I do better than my man:) we have alot of fun with it!
Today was Kurts final Upward game and they won 22-12. I so enjoy watching him and seeing how his personality shines through. He is such a blessing!!

Birthday Update
I am learning how to add photos to this blog for the first time so bare with me! I recieved many beautiful gifts this year that I would like to share! This is a card that my niece Danielle made me,isn't beautiful! I think we may have a future greeting card designer! Look out Hallmark!!
This is a clock I got from my sister! I just love it! It says " Sisters are friends at all times"
This is a recipe book I got from my Mom. It is filled with family recipes all written in my Mom's handwriting. I will treasure this always and it will be passed down generation to generation! Thank you Mom for taking all the time to write it. It is priceless!!
Well how about my friend Jennie for whom I am eternally grateful to God for bring her into my life!! She made me these beautiful pillowcases with the amazing cross stitch! I will not use these as pillowcases because I don't want to ruin them, they are something I will treasure forever!

February
Another month has slipped right by! Oh, how I love February; probably because of Valentine's day and my birthday happens to be in this month as well.
For Valentine's day this year we went away for the weekend. We attended "A Weekend to Remember" conference in Hershey. For those who may not know what that is...it is a marriage conference by Family Life! We went to one last year and loved it, so this year we were able to get two other couples to atend with us. It was such a blessing to see the marriage of people we loved, strengthened! They both thought it was a great weekend (well worth the money)! I would strongly encourage any and all married people to attend! It is simply life-changing!!
On my birthday we had church and then went out for dinner to one of my favorite places the "Olive Garden" with some dear friends from church, got to take a little rest and then had Ladies Bible study that night! It was a wonderful day!
Ed's job isn't any better and each day is a struggle but God is giving him the strength to make it through and I am trying to be the best cheerleader I can be! We believe God has new and exciting things for us in the future! Please keep us in your prayers!

January
I've made it just in time to keep up with my once a month blogging! January has been an ok month...it seems as though our family has been passing around a cold since Christmas.
Ed's job has been a bit of a whirlwind as of late. Job cuts and his regional manager was let go. He is good friends with him so it was very hard for him.He is discouraged and just not sure about the future( which in this economy I'm not sure many are sure). I try to encourage him to be postive and ride the storm out. It's a important time for all of us to pray.
Speaking of prayer put President Obama on your list if he isn't there yet. I am so saddened by some fo his actions already(especially regarding abortion),he's gonna answer to God. As I was thinking about why God would allow him to be pres. the thought came to me that perhaps it is to wake up Christians! We need to be stronger witnesses for Him,stop just quietly living our christian life and fight for our beliefs!!
I have been memorizing a verse from Isaiah 58:11 " The Lord will guide you always he will satisfy your needs in a sunscorched land and will strenghten your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden like a spring whose waters never fail" I just love the Word of God, it is my lifeline!!
God has been doing a work in my heart and I'm just seeking His direction for our life. I want to leave a legacy for Him and be in the center of His will; so if anyone reads this blog keep us in your prayers.
Well, next month should be more interesting because Ed and I are going to a marriage conference for Valentine's day and then it's my birthday so it will be a fun month...until then!:)
