So, I am a total slacker!

Sorry - here's belly pics - 27 and counting - the countdown has begun! Actually this week I am 28 weeks now and only have 9 more to go!

I still feel incredible! We went to the Dragon's game this weekend and I finally felt pregnant - we parked a couple of blocks away and I was EXHAUSTED by the time we got to the front gate. I'm going hiking in the mountains of West Vir. this weekend. That oughta be interesting! Bet I do alot of nature looking not walking. I'm pretty excited about it. We're taking a trip on a old steam engine train. You can go to www.cassrailroads.com and check out the trip to Bald Mountain. My sister Paige and her family, me and my family and my dad are all going. Dad is going to tell the grandkids lots of stories of when he was aboy growing up in the mountains down there. I'm going to get it on video so we'll have it forever!

Life is super, like I said I feel great and for 7 months prego I'm not terribly big - guess it's true what they say about how you carry a girl and how you carry boys.

Hope this finds everyone out there in blogger land happy and healthy!

I love music. I heard Tracy Chapman Fast Car on the radio the other day and that made me nostaligic. So... I got down under the entertainment center and dug through CDs. Let me say getting down anywhere is no easy feat for me these days! haha!
I dug out Tracy Chapman, Edie Brickell, Jewel... some old Blues Travelers. Oh the days when music was good and the songs meant something - or at least I could understand what they were saying!
So, I've had the panoramic roof open, windows down, radio blasting and singing at the top of my lungs! I LOVE this time of year!

So, in answer to Pat... we had Chloe Grace picked (which I still love but Dad not so much) so now we're talking about Teegan Star. Teegan means poetic beauty and Star of course - star. Tucker and Teegan... very cute.
Tucker isn't real happy about it - he wants her named Chloe. We shall see. It could change 100 times before August. LOL!
The excitement around here is off the hook - we have furniture picked out we just have to order it, the bedding set is picked out (just gotta order it). You can see it at Walmart it's called Bubble Fun it's pink and brown and olive green. I didn't want to do any themes because they grow out of themes so quickly!
Teegan... huh... I think it's growing on me - although when I'm yelling at her - she will always be Tucker..ERRR TEEGAN... that's a good name too I think! HAHAHAHA!

IT'S A GIRL IT'S A GIRL I'M ACTUALLY HAVING A GIRL!!! OMG - I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
I laid on the table today and watched her measure the baby and I kept saying - okay God, it's a boy, my heart is prepared and when she said a girl I about fell out!!
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!! She is a BIG healthy baby girl - the lady doing the ultrasound said (and I quote) " Oh my, she has a big ole' belly already". And boy did she - you could already tell she's a chubby one - so I promised to lay off of the Easter candy -ooops!
Thanks for your prayers!!

TK and his easter basket which he found hiding in the bathtub.

Good morning world!
AAahh, the sun is shining, I have coffee in my hand (decaf of course) and I made eggs, bacon, has browns, and biscuits for breakfast, my kid let me sleep in and wake on my own... ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD TODAY!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, what a glorious morning! Spring is on it's way and you can smell it and feel it in the air. The trees have buds on them, you can see the starts of flowers poking their heads up through the ground - it's so wonderful!
I feel terrific! Being pregnant has been so wonderful - I just don't have any complaints! Now, how many people can say that?! I am so blessed.
Today is my hubby's day off and we're going to walk around the flee market for awhile. We'll have to make frequent sitting stops for me - my stomach muscles start hurting if I walk to long - that always makes me smile though (I know weird) because it reminds me that MINE & TIMS baby is growing in there.
The ultrasound is Wed. Mon and Tues will be the longest days of my life! I know I won't be able to sleep Tues. night! We've got our options narrowed down for the nursery - we just gotta know what it is so we can get busy on it.
Well - that's all that's in my life. Tucker has been on spring break all week - he's been an angel and I have loved spending the extra time with him and I know daddy loved staying home w/ him all day. He's really grown up this year - and getting taller every day (and skinnier) it's amazing! He's going to be the best big brother ever!

18 weeks and counting!! So, here's what a dork I am... people ask me "How far along are you" and I've been answering 4 1/2 months. Well- today it dawned on me 5 months ENDS at 20 weeks not STARTS at 20 weeks! The good news is - I skipped a whole month - I am 5 1/2 months pregnant... HAHAHA! Time is flying by. Now I'm sure it's going to slow down to a crawl right about June!

I didn't feel like I had grown that much since my last photo - but then I looked at them! GEESH!

Come on April 2nd - I wanna know what this baby is - if i get asked one more time I'm going to scream!!

I feel great - the pregnancy has been truly wonderful and I don't have any complaints.

God has so blessed my life. Thank you Jesus!

This ultrasound was done about 3 weeks ago - it sure looks like a girls face! HAHA!

I don't know what babysmith looks like but I know this is a great profile shot! Baby is right on target and looks healthy! That's great news!

And I am now 16 weeks pregnant. I feel great except for these awful sinus' and terrible sinus headaches. Which I can't do anything about!

I have to remember this baby is SO worth it!

I had my surgery on the 20th and it went well. The Dr said he'd take the stitch out around 37 weeks so that equals the last week of July! I can't wait to get this baby here! My moms birthday is Aug 1st so I'd like to shoot for that day if at possible ( you do hear me right babysmith?)

Here's a pic of the belly at 14 weeks - not much diff then at 10 from the pics but I sure look bigger in person!

Daddy is getting SO excited! I think even he is starting to hope for a little daddy's girl. He got to hear the heartbeat for the first time and you shoulda seen his eyes light up! Man - it was such an incredible moment. I think that's when it all came together for him.

The Lord has so blessed my life.

Church is going fabulously and I have been reading the Word daily and even though some of it is so boring I at least start my day with an amazing connection to God. He will never abandon me - I may turn my back on Him but NEVER the other way around. Thank you God for your faithfulness.

We've had a relationship revival this month and Tim and Linda Buttery are AMAZING! I have learned so much about myself through this! I totally suggest you check them out - no matter how great your marriage is!

Me at 10 weeks prego looking more like 5 months prego!! GEESH!
Tucker swears he hears two babies talking back to him when he talks to my belly - there better only be one!! HAHAHAHAHA!
I'm feeling great. I had my 1st Dr appt and it went really well. My 1st ultrasound is Feb 4th and my surgery to stitch my cervix closed will be the week of Feb 18th.
Please keep my in your prayers. All really is going well - I feel healthy, I feel pregnant - but healthy! :-)
God is so great and I am so excited. If I think on it too long I start getting really scared! Like - Oh what was I thinking? What am I going to do w/ a baby in my life? I'm sure I thought all this when I had TK too. God will work it out!
Love you all and I still pray for you daily!

Happy New Year!!
I was glad to see that I am not the only person that hasn't posted in a lifetime. The holidays were very stressful!
We had two yep two cars breakdown - Tim's and the backup. $2000 later and a very small Christmas later we got one sold for $300 rather than fix it and the other has a new engine.
Christmas was great and we enjoyed each other - we ate well. I fixed lots of new recipes and so now we are all fat and sassy! LOL!
Christmas eve I shared the news w/ my hubby that we are going to have a new addition to our family in August! I prayed that God would go ahead of me and prepare his heart and mind and of course God is good and He did. We are an excited house hold and had an exciting Christmas getting to share the news w/ our families. Everyone (I mean everyone) but Tim wants a girl. We shall see. I'm about 9 weeks now and conceived on Thanksgiving night - there is one to remember. I keep telling you kid-less sex is the best! haha!
Tucker is doing fabulous! I am so in love w/ my kid! He's so awesome!
Holidays were great - spent time with family and friends (new and old) and am I so blessed. I pray that 2008 will continue to see spiritual growth and bring even more new friends into our lives and that it will be the year my husband receives salvation! I am doing a 30 day prayer challenge for my husband right now - its really awesome - there are several of us doing at the same time - very powerful and we all expect big things from God! He never fails us!
God bless you and yours!

I hate computers - my home computer is so very slow. I stay as far away from it as possible - as you can tell!
I've been busy reading and researching, planning, shopping for the holidays (no gifts yet) and crafting and scrapbooking.
Tucker has been diagnosed w/ ADHD. The meds (the 1st ones) are working great so far!
His grades shot up in the very first week. He has become the example EVERYWHERE of what TO do instead of what NOT to do! CAn you believe it? I was shocked!! I had no idea I could expect this kind of result. However... (you knew that was coming right) there is a down side. The meds only work for 6-8 hours. It gets him through school. Then when he comes 'down' from the meds - oh my my. He is mouthy and hateful and argumenative. It's just awful. I try to hard to be patient - to remember it's out of his control...but I can only take so much. He does have an appt tomorrow to see how the meds are going - we will discuss this!
Thanksgiving was SO great. I was total Martha Stewart! She would have been so proud of me. We used the good china, I had the house decorated w/ fall leaves and pie pumpkins, and had the house smelling of fall spiced candles. The food was incredible (if I may so myself).
Tim and I were together all weekend ALONE! What a great weekend.
We're broke - two cars broke down $2000.00 to fix them both - so we are down to one car (the new one) guess we got that just in time. But of course that means Christmas will be next to none in my house. The one thing Tucker wants is a Sansa Shaker MP3 player it's only 30.00 and that' s all he was going to get - but it's sold out everywhere! BAHUMBUG!
I guess we'll learn the true meaning of Christmas for real in my house this year!
Oh well - I'm still blessed beyond measure!!!
I hope this finds everyone happy and healthy and blessed also.
Pat - I'm praying for you - and Josh. I'm praying for Bills' recovery.
OH! And God has blessed me some more friends that are here local. I am so excited to be meeting people that will drop in and have coffee... and sit and visit.
Thank you Lord.

You probably don't remember me...

sorry!

Things have been so crazy that I'm not even about to catch you up.

Schools been very rough for Tucker... which makes things very rough at home... which makes the marriage very rough...

so in a nutshell... Tucker goes Wed @ 8:45am to get tested for ADHD. Lord I'm praying for healing and a breakthrough for this child. Something has to give. Please pray for him.

The marriage is really going pretty well - we just disagree on how to discipline Tucker at this point. Tim now has Friday and Sat. off. I can't even tell you how nice it is to actually spend an entire day w/ my husband! I forgot how wonderful Saturdays could be. We love having him home with us all day.

Church is fantastic - God is fantastic. Work sucks but then it wouldn't be work would it?

I pray for you all every single morning!

God as always, comes along and picks me up and makes me feel better.
Sunday morning in church it's like every song played was just for me. Every verse spoke was just for me... it's amazing how He does that.
He came along and gave me peace. I also had to humble myself before him. I have to sacrifice my dreams and let them go. For they are no longer my dreams but the Lords' dreams for me. It's no longer about what I want and my own selfishness it's about what the Lord wants for me. And I DO want what the Lord wants for me - I just don't it know it yet! :-)
So, I am doing better and feeling better. Thanks for your love and hugs and prayers. You guys are awesome!
Not that I don't still want those things... my flesh self does. My spiritual self says - when the Lord is ready for me to have them then I will have them.
But with my new life as a christian I have to have new dreams and be open and willing to accept the blessings the Lord has for me. Blessings that i don't even know I want yet! He's so awesome and I praise Him today for His tendermercies and His never ending love! Trust me if God can love stubborn hard headed me - He can surely love you!!!

Something I’ve discovered:

You know, I don’t know if men,when they are little boys have this vision of what their life will be like when they are adults.
But me (and maybe it’s just me and not all women) I have had a vision of what my adult life would be like. The family, the evenings, the sporting events, the everyday life. I have dreamed about it all my life! And let me tell you, I am SO disappointed.
It’s nothing like I dreamed it would be. Now, I didn’t dream big, I didn’t dream unrealistically. I dreamt (and dream) of a normal life. Husband, wife, two kids, and a dog. Evenings spent taking family bike rides and walks. Going together to sporting practices and games. Running errands in the evenings. Spur of the moment lets go get ice cream moments. Ya’ know? Just real typical and maybe real boring to some. All I ever wanted was average.
I’ve never had just average. (oh I’m trying not cry as I write this!) My first marriage was to a pot head, drum playing, hippie. All we did was party and hang out. His friends were more important than me and I as a 21 yr old thought that as soon as we were married we’d be my parents (who were no one to look up to mind you). Obviously now that I look back, that was unrealistic. There are days I wish I would’ve stayed in that relationship and allowed both of us to grow up. I do believe he would’ve eventually grown up. But again, maybe that is wishful thinking.
The next relationship – wow that was even more warped than the first! I won’t go into full details but I will say- I was running away from a lot of past hurts. I finally had a place where I was accepted and felt part of a group. (I didn’t fit in w/ my 1st husbands group of friends because I was and am very anti-drug I just drank a lot). Of course that relationship was very unhealthy and very co-dependant and wow, wrong for so very many reasons. So, my relationship now… I thought this one was going to be it. He said all the right things, wanted to be a family man, wanted to work 9-5, wanted a kid, wanted to raise his family in church. Well… hindsight will get ya’ everytime. I didn’t marry him for who he was, I married him for the ideas he represented to me. All the same things I wanted he wanted…so it had to work right?! WRONG! He’s now “changed his mind” on ALL of those things. So, now I’m left in a place of loneliness again. In this “lost in space” feeling. I have no where I belong. I have had this dream my whole life and now I have to tell it goodbye. I have to tell it that it’s never going to happen. It’s like loosing a best friend to cancer. The cancer has eaten at this dream over and over again for the past 17 years (since I’ve been on my own) and finally the cancer has taken it from you. It’s hard to say goodbye to something I’ve held so close and prayed for for so very long. But, if I let it go I’ll can’t be heartbroken anymore right? Okay, so that’s not going to happen but if I let it go maybe some of the hurt will stop.
I have a great life, don’t get me wrong. But something is missing, something doesn’t feel right, I feel empty every evening. I’m so tired of feeling this empty space every night. A child isn’t going to fill it alone. It’ll help but unless the rest of the dream comes with it I’m still a woman home alone every night with two kids instead of one. I don’t know…
I’m so weary… my soul is weary. I pray, I spend time in the Word everyday, I am involved in the church and a lot of goings on there, it’s not that part that is missing. That part of the dream is fulfilled. It’s the family part, it’s the part of having my best friend and husband there to share it all with and to want it all as much as I do.
I just feel so very sad.
Thanks for letting me spill it all out here …tears and all. I have no where else to spill it to!

Yes, I know... it's been a long time.
I really haven't had anything to say! Life has been great. I have nothing to vent about... praise God!
My panoramic roof leaked...got it fixed. They gave me a mini-van to drive. Uh... like how do people drive those? They'll barely do 80 mph... I wouldn't dare try to pass anyone in one and unless you have popped out 5.5 kids why would you want one? I'm such a speed demon that I couldn't drive one ...ever!
I was so glad to get my car back!
I took Tucker shopping tonight, he's decided that he needs to wear boxers now so I had to go buy some (they had to have skateboarders on them) and I bought his some new clothes (had to have skateboarders on them) and a winter coat... he had to pick the orange and black one for the Bengals (OOOOOO YUCK)!
I'm going to tell everyone that it's for the Wilmington Hurricanes (our colors are orange and black also). I couldn't face the public to tell them my child is a bungles fan! GO DALLAS COWBOYS!!! WWOOO__HOOO!!!
Okay. So we're past that... church is fantastic... alot of things are really starting to change and grow and the Holy Spirit is like WAY evident! That is so exciting!
The Close to My Heart business... wow... so here is a give you goosebumps story... I went to one of my downlines open house Sat to help her out. Well while there I said man, I really need business in Wilmington! So, in the car on the way home (my wet car I might add) I said to the Lord, I really need business in Wilmington... I didn't really pray it... I just said it to him. I come home and check my voicemail WELL... (disclosure GOD IS GOOD) I had a msg from a lady at Proverbs31 gifts that my order was wrong... I call her back and we get on scrapbooking... she's a HUGE scrapbooker and they have a crop every month at her church and she wants to see my stuff and have a party! As if that wasn't cool enough... I check my email first thing Sunday morning and there is a msg from a woman in the next town who ran across CTMH on the web did a find me a consultant search and I came up and she has booked a party for the 12th of Oct. NOW! As if THAT wasn't enough... I get an email tonight from a CTMH Jr Consultant looking for a friend... she's new to the area and thought about resigning from CTMH. Man oh man... my head is spinning! Now don't tell me that Lord isn't real! Cause I'm gonna tell ya that He's REAL - REAL GOOD!
First grade is going well - shew!
Work is work... it's going well as far as work goes.
The marriage you ask? ey... it's a marriage.... actually, I'm trying to work on my attitude. I've got to make the best of it and trust that it will change. God has sent some wonderful people in our lives and I know that they are starting to impact Tim's life and I see some changes already. Evidence again of the Lord.
As the old hymn says... I have proved you over and over!
Welp, that's my life... bore bore bore to everyone else.
I am planning to get a semi-reunion together of some of my old friends from when I was 15 and younger. Going to plan that for sometime in Oct.
I am looking forward to that!! Kris - you are more than welcome to help me plan it and give me any address' that you have. I'm going to handmake the invites.
Oh! Check out my friends blog... she talks as if her baby does the talking... it's hysterical!! www.lolaandherfamily.blogspot.com
So CUTE!

HI YA'LL!!!!

Happy Wednesday (by the time you read this probably). Life is going smoothly. No complaints... believe it or not!

Did I tell you I was taking Alli? I did - and finished the 20 day supply - lost 7.5 lbs in those 20 days! Woo-HOO! Ya' know, it's amazing the difference 7 lbs makes! So, I'm done with the pill and going to continue on my own. I did learn something, it's not the fat content or the calories ...it's the fat AND the calories together that make a difference. Wish me continued success.

School is going great as far as I know... no notes from the teacher yet.

Car is super!

Anniversary was fun. I got dressed up ( a little for me) actually wore a nice casual dress. Will post a pic if I get a chance. I bought Tim a watch and we went to a great italian rest for dinner. Then walked around the book store for a few and then home. I was a little disappointed I have to admit that we came home so early. I really wanted to go and do something else...stay out late and run away from reality for a little while longer...but he was too full and tired from dinner. LOL! So we came home. But we did have a good time. I got 3 Boyd's bears in a basket for a present and a card!! A real honest to goodness card!! I was so suprised and so happy you'da thought it was a diamond! hahaha! Silly how the littlest things thrill us to pieces!

That's about all that's going on here.

Sunday service was amazing! We raised the roof with our praises, the Spirit was so obvious! Another girl in service was moved to come pray with me. Come to find out we were both there alone and praying for our spouses to be with us. So...we are going to start praying for each other (because the wait is so long and hard sometimes) and praying for our spouses. It's so nice to know and such a comfort to know that someone else is in my position, sitting in church praising our awesome God alone, wishing that their spouse would come to know God's salvation.

So, it was so awesome that the spirit moved her to come pray with me... the Lord is so good!

Well... happy days to you and pray that all is going well.

Morning devotion time with Tucker is going great - I really have to give a shout out to Leigh Gray for making see how morning time (rather than night) is so much better!!! Thanks girl!

First Day of School!

It was a success! He dressed like a "skateboarder" wore his hair like a "skateboarder" and carried his "skateboarder" backpack. I have a future Tony Hawk (and my child says he's Tony's #1 fan)! Man I love this kid!

When he got home he said he loved first grade, loved his teacher, and had fun! HOORAY!!

We started our day off with the Keys for Kids and it was about being postive and based from Psalm 34:1. I'm going to love this new tradition we are starting!

Hopefully I can get his dad to read it on the days I can't be here.

Well, I'm exhausted - just got home from church and must get to bed!

See ya!

School starts tomorrow! HOORAY! Tucker is totally excited. I met his teacher tonight and his class is pretty small (as is the classroom). There was only two names of kids I recognized from his class last year. And one of them is the horrible Samantha! He was scared to death she'd be in his class. She's a total bully and was horrible last year... Oh I pray that he continues with the GREAT behavior we've had all summer!!
I'm excited that we don't have to do any daycare this year. That should be a huge difference in his behavior... he gets to sleep in everyday. Which to Tucker is 7-7:30am.
I've been getting things ready for the Prims class I'll be teaching at church. Trying to be really organized this year so it'll be fun for the girls and I want to take them on a couple of field trips this year. I want to be the coolest teacher ever! LOL!
I will be celebrating my 4 yr anniversary this Thursday. Actually we'll be celebrating Friday night but the 23rd is the actual day. I am so looking forward to Friday night. I've got a sitter and I'm taking Tim to this really cool new mall/city they built. It's got all kinds of really nice resturants and a books and co that takes up a whole block! It's going to be so fun!
So, that's my life...
OH! I've gotta tell ya this! Wow, God is so awesome and for those of you who know Him personally already know that.
This morning during my morning prayer and bible time I was praying about doing devotions or something with Tucker and low and behold at 5:50am (10 min before i have to wake him) here comes Tucker walking out of his room! i said what are you doing and he said (as he crawls up in my lap ) I just wanted to spend some time with you this morning. So I finished my bible reading and read him his Keys for Kids (which I've not been reading to him for a long time). What an awesome way to start his day and mine too! Wow - what a blessing. It also showed me that I can work it into our mornings. I can teach and train Tucker to spend time with God in His word in the morning while I am training myself! Thank you Heavenly Father for answering prayer, heartfelt genuine prayer so immediately and graciously. I just want to love you and edify you Lord with my thoughts and my voice and that of my family! I lift them to you oh Lord and ask that You bless us each and help to show us the way. Thank you Father for your goodness and for the Holy Spirit that you have sent here to us to guide us and talk to us! Lord you are so great and mighty!!

Hi! I miss you!
Just wanted to post a little hello note!
Life is great.
Car is great.
Family is great.
God is GREAT!!!
This weather is great.
Today was like perfect.
Joy Fellowship (our women's ministry) had a garage sale scavenger hunt w/ the items we purchased being donated to the local womens center and the homeless shelter. We had 5 teams of about 4-5 women. WHAT A BLAST! We were all crazy women running around town. The team I was on won! WOO-HOO!
Last night was my scrapbook IBG at the church. I had 3 hours to work w/ no interuptions. I got 1 calendar page done that I'm making and 1 scrapbook page. Not bad!
Life has been going along really well. I've lost 6.5 lbs and I've been hitting the weights big time and eating very clean. Even if I go out to eat! Which is something I never could do but am making myself do it! I'm so proud!
Tucker starts school Wed. we are all ready and excited for it now. Supplies are bought and we got the shoes today.
Tucker and I went out to eat at a nice sit down resturant today...by ourselves and had wonderul conversation. It's amazing how they grow up over 1 short summer! I just love my kid.
I still haven't taken more pics of the car...sorry. I'm doing good to get out here to post a msg.
Tomorrow mom and I are coloring hair... and hanging out after church.
Sounds like another wonderful day!
Hope all is well with you. I do love and miss you each!
I find myself driving to work and thinking um.. I wonder what Pat is doing today? or sitting eating dinner and think, I wonder if Neicey is feeling better today. It's funny how each of you cross my mind. El - hows the wedding plans coming?

Ok... I don't know why...but I can not upload the photos... it keeps saying this page can not be displayed. I can't imagine the file size is too big but perhaps I've messed up the setting... will try and take new pics and see if that helps.
Oh well...
Today is a GORGEOUS day! I wish all summer had been like today. We hung at the pool for 4 and half hours (and now I'm crispy). Apparently waterproof doesn't mean all day. Oh well, it'll turn brown tomorrow. I went and got all of Tucker's schools supplies...all we need now is shoes.
Tucker and I went to Taco Bell and had dinner. What a glorious day the Lord has made!
He knew how much I needed it!
I can't wait till tomorrow. I love praising Him and singing and being in His presence!
Hope you all had a blessed day too!

My new baby!
I'm so proud of her... 2005 Pontiac G6 GT and her name is Gidgett!
I told you of my car woes... so we went looking...to do that ...look. We found the greatest car at the greatest deal and we couldn't pass her up. Get this... she has seat warmers! No more cold winter time butt. Leather seats, 6 disc in dash cd, automatic OR manual transmission, I can press the info button and it will tell me how many more miles I have to drive before I need to get gas (like a trip but in reverse) so cool! OH! And the panoramic roof... I AM so loving it! She's got a lot of get up and go and that' s just what a speed demon like me doesnt need but totally loves!
So that's my good news. Praise God for it! He made it all possible. Other than that nothing going on here. It's been to hot to do anything.
My hubby is taking us out for dinner and a movie. Family night - how fun! We're getting along better (by the grace of God) so thanks for your prayers!
Miss you all!
