So I was sitting here and realized that I haven't posted anything on here in a while. Life has certainly changed in our household. We are very blessed. I could complain, but seriously I don't have a whole lot to complain about. Everyone wishes there was more money. But with more money comes more head aches I think. Besides that I mean seriously what do I have to complain about???? I have this fantastically wonderful husband who has more than shown he loves our family by working himself to death to provide for our family. And he does it because he wants to not because he has too. I have the great 7yr old that loves his brother to pieces and you can tell. He has this huge heart and is smarter than a whip. He surprises me on a daily biases with his insight on things. Ethan's last day at MPCS will be this Friday (which is the end of the year) and he will be attending Longleaf next year. It saddens me to do this, because MPCS has wonderful teachers and I was looking forward to Ethan having Mrs. Marvin next year, but life has a way changing things. LOL. Ethan is excited about this new change in his life. There will be a bunch of new opportunities for him to partake in. Life sports at the school, I've heard Longleaf does things with Relay for Life, they have a jogging club that is quite abit longer than MPCS (Not there is anything wrong with your Jogging Club Heather, it's great and you started him on this path with it), and a variety of other things he'll be able to do. I have a wonderful 14 month old that while yes he loves me, his whole face lights up when Daniel walks in the room and it makes all the "heartaches" worth it.
We have a roof over our head, food in our bellies and each other. I have these great parents that I just seriously don't know what I would have done with out them. As I grow older they have become my best friends. And speaking of best friends, I have some of the best. I've written about some of them before so I'm not gonna go into detail about everyone.
Terrie and Daniel you know what you've done and you know I'll never ever be able to repay you for the blessing you were in my life when I needed it. I'm so very glad to have you as Ethan's "GOD" parents.
Sharra Lynn, you and I have had our ups and downs and everything in between and some how the Good Lord has seen to it that we have remained friends and their for each other no matter what. I know that I can call you in the middle of the night and you would be there for me in a heart beat. Having you there this past Sunday night helped me (and Daniel) more than you will ever know. You being there for the birth of Peanut meant the world to me and knowing (as long as it's not a C-Section) that you will be there again for the twins is just awesome. We couldn't have picked better "GOD" parents for Peanut than you and Matt.
Leslie Anne.... You always seem to know just the right time to call me and tell me something (usually about your children) that just makes me laugh my ass off and melt away my worries for just a little while.
Kimmie you are and will always be my baby. You know what I mean. NO matter how long we go in between talking we seem to pick up right where we left off. I love you for that and much much more.
I have a bunch of other friends and you all know who you are that have been amazing, but I do need to say a special thank you to Pam. I wondered why God had put such a unique person in my path and as these months have past I know why. You have helped me more than you will ever know. And I know it's "NO BIG THING" to swing by and pick Ethan up for school or drop him off, but it made it to where I didn't have to get Peanut up and dressed or we got that extra 30 minutes of sleep. SO THANK YOU PAM!
And also Taco and Jess. You guys were placed in our lives for a reason and Taco there are days I wonder why, but than you do something like help the in-laws and ask for nothing in return. You helped us with the Van and everything that is coming with that. Jess you dropped everyting Sunday night and came and picked the Peanut up for us. I know that the two of you are going to make awesome "GOD" parents to the twins.
Ms. Kim you have become family over the last couple of years and not just because you started out as my parents friend. You have this amazing heart that is always open to the people you are about and I am very greatful to be one of those people.
Than there is Daniel. Not only is he the most wonderful husband, but he is also the best friend I am glad I have. (Our marriage is sooo much like my parents and I'm glad for that) You understand me better than I think anyone else can and you put up with my mood swings and my issues and yet you still love me and are still my pillar of strength to lean against. When we decided to give this thing a trial biases I never would have thought we would have ended up where we are. I knew deep down that you were meant to be in my life, but I just didn't know in which way and I have to say that I'm soooo very glad that it is this way. You are my other half and you make me smile even when I don't want to. You make me feel beautiful when I know there is no way in hell I'm even pretty at that time...like when I'm sick and I'm coughing, my nose is gushing like a fountain and my hair is in 10 different directions. When I get that good Morning beautiful text it makes everything fall into place. No we have 2 beautiful children and 2 more on the way and I wouldn't change anything. I love you and thank God daily that you were put back into my life. It just took us 10+ years to get to where we are that's all.
I want to thank all the people that have been praying for us in this time of need. I'm scared to death about the twins. I don't want to do anything to screw up and hurt one of them, so I'm trying to do everything the doctor says, but it's hard. It's not fair for Daniel to come home after working both jobs and have to do the dishes (because I can't lean over the sink) or the laundry (because I can't get to the bottom of the washer). But I've been told not to do anything that will cause stress on myself or the twins. So thank you all of you, specially Daniel.
I think I've blogged enough tonight and babbled enough and probably bored more than 1/2 of you. Remember to live life to the fullest and say I love you to all the important people in your life.
Love you peeps!

2010 has ended and 2011 has begun
I've been doing nothing but thinking since 12-27-10. That is the day we found out we were going to have another baby! That was just the icing on the cake of things I've been thinking. I know we are never given more than we can handle, but I'm hoping this doesn't break us. I was reading something today that a friend wrote about Daniel and I and it made me realize how very lucky I am in my life.
In 2010:
1. Ethan made all A or A/B honor roll in the school year
2. We had Penaut and realized how very strong parents have to be with their children when something goes wrong. (MOM...I love you and I now understand how you felt with me... If I haven't said it before You are MY HERO!!!)
3. Realized that the saying "It takes a village to raise a child" is correct. Sharra, Leslie Anne I don't know what I would have done if you weren't here to help out on Saturday nights with PEANUT.
4. I have some of the greatest best friends and I have the worlds 2 best Besties!!! Even though in my eyes my parents are the Worlds BEST, I have to send out love to Mr. Craig! He has helped me with Ethan getting to and from Church and for that I'm Grateful!
5. I have one of the worlds best sons. He has such a big heart and all he does is want to give. Because of the brain storm Ethan had his school collected over $1500.00 to give to Sacred Heart's Women and Children's Center. He has many more idea's to collect more money to give to the NICU at SHH!
6. I have the greatest Husband (still not used to saying that). He bust his booty to provide for our family. He works at UAR 50-60 hours a week and than at Pizza Hut another 20 hours or so. Than on the weekends, he helps out around the house. Like today he did the laundry so Ethan and I could go to the movies just the two of us. Daniel I LOVE YOU!
7. I've gone from Ethan and I in 2006 to Ethan, Daniel and I in 2007. In 2008 I found out Daniel had 3 beautiful girls that called him dad. In 2009 I finally got to meet them and the youngest brought her BF Erica with her and We went from Daniel, Ethan and I to Daniel, Ethan, Kelsea, Erica, Carolyn, Jackie and I. Carolyn had Shon and he is our First Grandchild. Now at the end of 2010 we have: Daniel, Peanut, Ethan, Kelsea, Erica, Jackie (her son Chevy), Carolyn (her two sons Shon & Lyric). And now at the end of 2010 we find out we will have another baby in the middle of 2011. Mom said the other day, "Mack we always wanted a big family. Maybe we weren't supposed to have it, but Tasha was." HAHAHA!
8. I don't always remember to tell people Thank you for all they do for us. So if I've ever forgotten I'm sorry and THANK YOU!
I think that's it.
Oh.. Special Note:
To Sharra Lynn,
We have known each other since 1996 and we've had our ups and downs. our likes and dislikes. We've been friends, enemies and hated each other. I think we have finally grown up and you are a soul mate sister (not by birth, but by soul). I don't know what I would do without you. You are my friend, my confidante(SP), and my sister. You are my children's Aunt and you were there for the birth of Peanut. You have been a person to make me laugh or a shoulder for me to cry on. I love YOU girl!!!!
To Leslie Anne,
I am soo very glad you are home and I pray that you stay close to us. It has been great with you here. It was like you never left. It was like 12 years apart never happened. I am soo thankful you talked to me all those years ago and that we have remained friends all this time. Thank you for being there for me to rant and rave. Like Sharra Lynn I feel as if you are my soulmate sister. I Love you!
Night all! Hopefully 2011 will bring even more blessed issue's in our life and leave the troubled ones out of it.
