Double My Chances

Okay I found out over the weekend that I now have twice the chance of having a little girl for Rylee to play with when she's in Florida. Julie and Eric are due a few days before Brittney. I have to be totally honest and say that they both hope Rylee is the only girl for a while (weird I would think I would want what I don't already have but hey......- maybe it's the whole Boys are easier thing)

I wanted to share with y'all a poem I recently read this may not be worded right but close enough.

When a mother has a girl
She has a daughter for life
When a mother has a boy
He's her son until he takes a wife.

This is God's plan - A man shall leave his family and cling unto his wife. I have to say that I cannot think of anyone I would have preferred to give up my boy for than Tasha! (Now I can think of a bazillion places closer I would prefer them to live - but I know they are exactly where God wants them.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY and other GREAT NEWS

Today is my son's sister-in-law Meagan's Sweet 16 birthday! May it be her bestest birthday ever!

Shawn and Tasha have been going thru some changes and it has been a wonderful experience to watch how God is guiding them straight down towards his plan for their life. Tasha is starting college again - and was told this week she got a job her heart has been longing for and that she was going to make about a $1 more an hour than she was expecting. Shawn passed his test and seems to be headed right into the Police Academy in October. (Momma's heart is worried but our GOD is bigger than the Buggie Man and he has control over Shawn!) Now join me in praying for a job for Shawn that will allow him to go to school and support his family.

Nyki and Jeremy were facing a crossroads in their life and through prayer has been directed to go the road on the left! Jeremy is now working out of town but at least he's working with a group that has WORK now and in the future. Nyki is babysitting in her house a new little baby & his big brother who is in school - which allows her to stay home with Rylee. I kept praying God would move them this direction but it looks like he has bigger plans for them that what this Mom could come up with.

RC and Brittney (hmmmmmmmm at the risk of stealing her thunder) have recently found out that God had bigger plans for their family than they had. Translation is their family is going to get bigger - she is expecting - looks like early April time frame. (I keep telling them it is going to be twin Girls - Twins scare her - Girls scare him) I'm praying for a healthy baby and a no-complications pregnancy for Britt - oh yeah and a car that will carry 3 carseats! We really are excited - but hey who couldn't be when God is giving you a new little blessing.

Randy and I are doing okay - my funk that I've had for a few months seems to have finally gone over the hill and I have a lot more GOOD days than bad - Praise God! Poor Randy has had a bumpy ride the last 3 or 4 months. Speaking of riding - he's back at it, on a new bike and doing well I guess as good as expected with having to have laid off for 6+ weeks and the rain prevents them from getting to go out as ofter as they would like.

Love all of you! Remember comments let me know that you are reading this!

You know your from Amarillo Texas when......

Rainfall is measured in hundredths of inches
An inch of rain causes streets to flood but it takes a foot of snow to close schools
People are happy if a picnic gets rained out
You've seen rain, sleet, snow and thunder all in the same storm
You consider plutonium to be good thing
You prefer to haul drinking water rather than drink tap water
You tell people you live in the tan brick house with a tan roof and attached two-car garage, and then realize that describes every house within a 2-mile radius
You can see a million stars at night from your patio
You've never seen smog
You know the soil temperature on any given day but can't recall what you had for breakfast
You've had to pull over and remove tumbleweeds from the grill of your car
You've canceled many golf games because of rain
Vacation means a weekend trip to Santa Fe
You can lose your purse and a total stranger will returns it
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Amarillo.

See how our Rylee is growing. She looks just like her mommy did at that age. 

Hmmm What's Happening?

Well I decided that instead of being bored at work (don't tell my boss - he'll find something for me to do) and complaining that no one has updated their blog for me to read - that maybe I should update my blog.

Now the problem NOTHING really exciting has happened to tell y'all about. Saw the boys very little - like Thursday night for a couple of hours and then after church on Sunday for a couple of minutes, so nothing cute to report in that area. Talked to Nyki on the phone and unfortunately I had to hop off and grab something to eat before I got sick so didn't get any really cute things about Rylee. Randy stayed home yesterday for us to get FIOS so I should be able to write and post what's NOT happening in my life faster.

Sunday met Julie & Ethan for lunch - Eric was home with Seth having the croop (sp?). Julie came over and took a quick nap while Ethan and I watched a corny show on Disney and had Light Saber fights. Randy took a quick nap to get ready for us to go to a Sunday School Party Sunday night but by the time it was time to go I had such a bad headache we didn't go - then when I got up at 2 to take more Migraine medicine I kicked the couch and have a broke/jammed something my toe that is nice and purple.

Well I've bored you enough - write people so I have something to READ!!!!
