I am back.....




I have MISSED my Blog, so instead of trying to write about everything that happened this summer I made a photo collage to capture a few things. Well to start I am another year older(shh), Ayssa turned 8...sigh and then we had a great summer. We went to Sea World,boating, to New Jersey, and of course several trips to the beach.

Alyssa started cheerleading this year for the Ocoee Bulldogs and she loved it. Ethan started Pre-k and Alyssa is now in 3rd grade...where oh where does the time go?

Ethan started playing flag football and there will be photos of that very soon. Life is still a fun day to day roller coaster ride.

Kyle and I have attended 2 weddings this year and had a GREAT time. I love seeing old friends and making new ones. It is going to be another great year I can feel it!!

Day 8- Lent Blessings



Today is a belssing to both Kyle an I. Today marks our 8 year wedding anniversary!! I meet Kyle in 1997 and we just hit it off and had so much fun and then in 2003 we were married.

Marriage is alot more then just saying "I do", some people make it look hard, while others make it seem easy....I think it is just like everything else in life- you get out of it what you put into it.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

No matter what LOVE has gotten us through the tough times....and LOVE with always win!

Day 7- Lent Blessings


Today I gave the blessing of patience! I was helping a retiree enroll into her medical benefits and she was so confused, to be honest at first I was annoyed that she did not understand what I was explaining and then she said "My dear, I am all alone and no one to help me".....I felt so bad and realized that I was annoyed at her, but she had noone and was needing me a complete stranger to help her.
I took the time and was extra nice, and we talked even about the weather and about basketball.....after our 38 minute conversation she knew exactly what she needed to know and at the end of the call she thanked me for my patience and said "God bless you"......I thanked her for her time, I really think I was blessed today more then she was.

Day 6- Lent Blessings

For Christmas/ birthday gift Kyle got the Xbox 360 and has been playing online for about a month now, and he needed the headset.

I stopped at Target on my way home from work and he was so excited to play online with his friend...hope I did not create a monster!!!

Day 4- Lent Blessings

































Saturday, I took the kids out for a little bit so Kyle could sleep in.Then after he woke up we hung out and later when he was leaving for work, the kids were riding their bikes and I decided to start raking the leaves...then I thought what if I did the whole yard for him...so I did, which actually ran into Sunday and still not completely done.

I realized by doing this that we have a big yard....Also I realized that yard work is hard!! So next time when I think about complaining about the house work not being even...I think I will remain quiet since yard work is not even either!!!

Day 3- Lent Blessings


Friday my friend Alisha and I went to our work coffee shop, I was getting my usually and I looked back at Alisha and asked what she was getting, she was surprised when I told her I was treating.
Alisha has been a VERY good friend to me and is always there to listen, I enjoyed treating her to a coffee!
