10 months today! Matthew has been gone 10 months- it sounds crazy to hear myself say that.......I honestly could not comprehend or even imagine what this day would be like. When someone you love is gone from your life in an instant you can not comprehend a future without them. All you have ever known is your life with this person in it. Man--I miss him and it seems like yesterday that I talked to him last. I know each day I get closer to seeing him again. I look at his beautiful face and I know some people may see just another user...I look at him and I see the huge tree God has placed around him and all the fruit it is bearing from his life and what God is doing thru his death. Milestone dates like today are difficult, but I know tomorrow will be better!!

Addicted Blogger!
Ok!!! Everyone is giving me a hard time about my last blog....I said I was addicted to blogging...and I haven't blogged since. Well let me explain myself...I thought I needed to have pictures to blog but I have been informed that you do not have to have pictures for every blog. Not knowing this previously..I have been very disturbed that I lost my camera on our 1st family hunting trip. We had not had a chance to download our pictures from Christmas before we left on the trip....So I was so upset that we had lost Christmas...it was like Christmas 2007 did not exist...I nothing to show for it (pictures that is). Michael and I had been in the big dilemma to buy a new camera and wow they really are expensive if you want a good one. Last week the guy that let us go out to our lease found our camera!!! WOO HOO let me say that again WOO HOO!! Christmas 2007 did exist after all! and guess what..now I have pictures!!!!! So I was planning on spending my day off today catching up on the addicting blog thing..and guess what-Michael has all the cables that I need to download the pictures with him at work!!! It is always something!! All of that to say..be expecting pictures and blogging very soon..from the addicted blogger that doesn't ever blog!! HAHAHA

Wow! I could really get addicted to this blogging thing!!
I love it- I have been thinking the past couple of days...
I could blog that!!!!! Could you imagine if I blogged
everything..you guys would be like praying for me non-stop!!
Hmmm- that might not be such a bad idea!!
Here is what I was really going to talk about.....I started a new bible study class last night called "Because of Jesus" let me just say THANK YOU GOD for your promises that saves us from this crazy, sinful place. It is because of Jesus that I (we) are free!!We talked last night about being a mother....I realized I have fallen way short...but knowing that God's grace is sufficient for me, even though I make mistake after mistake.
God just spoke to me last night in that Bible Study as if he were sitting across from me, speaking right to my face. It is those moments in life that humble us to Gods love, grace and mercy!!!!

The Family
Here we are...all five of us. I can't believe how fast the kiddos grow. I know before long Wyatt will be driving, Nattalee will be at Tannahill and Ella will be moving up the ranks.
Speaking of how fast the kids grow, when our kids get invited to friends houses they seem to eat them out of house and wallet. Michael and I have decided in the best interest of others we will need to send our children with grocery store gift cards so that they can rebuild their food supply after our children leave. Please do not be mistaken we do feed our kids!!!
We are so proud of our children and are truly blessed by them daily. Some days I have to search a little harder for that blessing, but it is all worth it!!!
