The Butterfly....

So, I picked Kaden up from daycare and he was very excited to show me that he made me a butterfly! He water colored it just for me! Even though that is precious in itself, the meaning of the butterfly was awesome and just what I needed....

To me the butterfly symbolizes new beginnings and change. It really made me realize that I need to be ok with the changes in my life. I need to know that everything will evolve just fine. The same way that the caterpiller evolves into a beautiful butterfly. I think it is time to leave the caterpiller behind and spead my wings to new beginnings.

For the record.... Kaden is a wonderful artist! This was his very first art project, and he was oh sooo proud! I couldn't be happier! I have it displayed on the fridge.. which will soon become Kaden's wall of fame!

Thanks Kaden!

Jesus will hear it...

So, Kaden folded his hands to pray as I tucked him into bed. I quickly sat on the side of the bed and folded my hands as well.... he wanted to pray all by himself tonight, so he proceeded with, "Come Lord Jesus be our guest let this food...."

I tried not to laugh....

We later prayed Now I Lay Me.....

2nd Day of Day Care

Last night I picked Kaden up from daycare, I don't think he stopped talking until we got home! He really liked it and told me all about it....

Today, I go to drop him off and I bend down to hug him good bye and he is closing the door... pretty much telling me to leave. So, I sneak a hug before the door slams in my face and off to work I go....

Children.....

Today is Kaden's first day in Daycare. Kaden is going to be 4 in October. I am about ready to leave and I ask him for a hug and a kiss and he asks... "do I have to?".... Children! Here I was preparing to leave work at noon because he wouldn't stop crying.... Oh well....

Finding myself....

For the most part, I thought I really knew who I was... But, I don't. God has been challenging me more and more lately. I am learning how to reach new goals, and how to battle some obstacles in my life. God has been showing me options... I know that new doors are going to open for me, and that in itself is a new challenge that I soon will be facing!

My greatest obstacle is infertility. I don't know what God's plan is for this, but I know he has one. He always does. My heart is ready to learn what God has instore for me. I have the best step son in the whole wide world, and I know that I could touch so many more lives.... I know that God will use this and I will grow from it! Our God is a big GOD and he has amazing things instore for each one of us!

Until Next Time!

Who I Really Am...

I am a daughter, a sister, a grand daughter, a neice, a cousin and a friend. I am a mom, wife and lover. I am confident and scared, terrifed and excited. I am loving, caring, thoughtful and hopeful. I am broken and whole. I am misunderstood. I am hard working and determined. I wish on the stars and dream my dreams. I pray to God and cry my tears. I believe in Passion. Some say I'm a dreamer. I love weddings, cry when babies are born, and laugh at almost anything. I believe in love at first sight. I believe that everyone has at least one good quality. I love when Nate tickles my feet... or just hugs me, because. I love how safe I feel when I am in Nate's arms. I think everything can be said by the look in your eyes. I believe that a child's laugh can heal broken hearts. I think the best thing in the world is waking up next to the one you love. I also believe that you can't appreciate love until you have been hurt at least once. I believe in following your heart..always. I believe you should laugh without any reason, except that you can. I think singing in the shower is right up on the list of "to do's" daily. I believe that sometimes you just need to leap, with both feet... and at the end of each day, I believe you should count your blessings. I also believe you should tell those you love, that you love them.. daily. Not because they will forget, but because you don't know when the next chance you will get to speak those three wonderful words... Sometimes I cry myself to sleep because I miss my Sarah, and my heart is breaking not being able to see her, or talk to her, or share my dreams with her. I believe the people we love are taken way too soon. I believe you should dance in the rain, catch snowflakes on your tongue, and lay in the snow and make angels. I wish I were six again, not because I don't like being an adult, I just don't care for the title. I married my best friend, and I am the happiest I have ever been. I believe in love and everything it stands for. I believe we need to slow down and smell the roses every once in awhile... I don't want to get old before I am able to impact the people around me.
