HAPPY "UNNIVERSARY" TO ME

Well today I would have been married 7 years...I know that I probably should be sad and in so many ways I guess I am dissappointed not in myself but in him but I am very thankful for all the wonderful people in my life. Most people probably would say they regret marrying there ex but I must say without him I wouldn't have the love of my life, Kason. He has been such a great joy in my life and I can't even imagine life without him. As she says in Hope Floats "I got the best part of you". When you get married you know it is suppose to be forever, atleast that is what God says, but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way for whatever reason. I really feel like people don't seriously think about what a marriage is suppose to be and what kind of give and take there has to be inorder for it to work. Its all about LOVE AND RESPECT. I can't thank God, my family and friends enough for being there for me and Kason over the last 9 months. I'm just happy to know that I don't have to waste anymore of my life and myself with someone who supposedly didn't care in the beginning. I know God has a great plan for me and Kason and I can't wait to see what he has planned for us in the future.

Please continue to keep me and Kason in your prayers.

Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see

Weekend is Over!!!

Well lets see where to begin...Friday night me and Kason hung out at Shaun's house until his bedtime and then I met my parents so they could take him home to bed. He started acting alittle weird around 6:45 and got really still. I just thought he was probably getting tired. When my mom got him home she called and said he was running a fever of 103.1. Mom just gave him some Motrin and put him to bed. Me and Shaun went down to the Greek Festival and had dinner. I had never been before and I was shocked at all the people down there. The food was awesome though. Afterwards we went by his friends house in Birmingham and they played alittle Texas Hold'em. I don't really understand guys and cards but obviously it is something that alot of guys like to do. Saturday didn't really start until about 8 am,THANK GOD, but was started out with a trip to the doctor. Luckily Dr. Mays was seeing patients at Redmont so I didn't have to visit the after hours clinic. They ran a strep test and it came back negative and she said everything else looked good. I had mentioned to her that he threw up at breakfast but she said he probably just has a fever virus. Which means I just wasted another $30 copay. Kason ofcourse was ill for most of the day but he really didn't run anymore high fevers. Later that evening we went to Froggy's for Maddie's 6th Birthday party. We had a really great time even though Kason wasn't really happy with all the blow ups. As the party went on he seemed like he was feeling alittle better. After we got him home and in the bed, Me and Shaun went to Target and Walmart to get stuff he would need for his trip. He headed out this morning at 6am for Louisiana for atleast 2 weeks working on storm damage. Please keep him and all the other guys in your prayers. Let me just say WOW shopping with him is alittle different. I mean does it really take a guy that long to pick out underwear???? I never knew guys had so many fabric and hold options when it came to underwear. Anyways finally around 12 we were done shopping and head to his house to pack. I think we managed to get everything he might need for the next 2 weeks if not he is now out of luck. I was hoping to go to church today but ofcourse Kason started throwing up again during breakfast and I thought I'm not driving to Gardendale to sit in the Commens area of church so I decided just to stay home. It was a good idea because he has thrown up 2 more times since then and can't keep anything on his stomach except clear liquids. I think he is also having stomach cramps because at times he will just lay in the floor and cry. I know this is bad but depending on what kind of night we have I may try to send him on to daycare and see how long he will last.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!! Enjoy pictures from Madison's Birthday Party.

Remembering 9/11

'MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL'

You say you will never forget where you were when
you heard the news On September 11, 2001.
Neither will I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room
with a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.' I
held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the
peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it
is OK..I am ready to go.'

I was with his wife when he called as she fed
breakfast to their children. I held her up as she
tried to understand his words and as she realized
he wasn't coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a
woman cried out to Me for help. 'I have been
knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!' I said.
'Of course I will show you the way home - only
believe in Me now.'

I was at the base of the building with the Priest
ministering to the injured and devastated souls.
I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He
heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat,
with every prayer. I was with the crew as they
were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the
believers there, comforting and assuring them that their
faith has saved them.

I was in Texas , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan ...
I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.
Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew
every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me
for the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath.
Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the
smoke and flames; 'Come to Me... this way... take
my hand.' Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.
But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day. You
may not know why, but I do. However, if you were
there in that explosive moment in time, would you have
reached for Me?

Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey
for you But someday your journey will end. And I
will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may
be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are
'ready to go.'

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

God

During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are
doing, and take this opportunity to stop and think and appreciate God's power
in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to Him.

Happy Birthday Madison

Today is my niece's 6th Birthday. Just wanted to wish Madison a Happy Birthday. We love you!

Isn't it funny how something as small as a tooth brush can entertain a 1 year old instead of the room full of toys.

Hope everyone is having a great week so far.

Weekend Review

Well after a few days of working in Destin and a weekend at the beach...its back to reality today in Alabama. We all had a great time this weekend and it was great being able to spend sometime with my Aunt Robin and Grandmother. I'm glad they were able to have a good time on my expense and get away for a few days.

Its always great to get away for a few days but I was really starting to miss Kason. I was happy to see him last night and his smiling little face this morning. To update you on Kason he is finally feeling better...he stayed with his dad Saturday night for the first time since we are been divorced. I was alittle nervous about the whole idea but I knew my family needed a break and I figured he knows better than to let anything happen to our child...LOL

Hope everyone had a great weekend and HAPPY MONDAY to everyone. Enjoy the Pictures

Our Day At The Beach

Hello From Destin

Well we finally made it to the beach....Just to caught you guys up on Kason he ended up having bronchitis instead of strep throat and ofcourse that was after a 3 hour doctor visit and a chest xray later. I think he is whiner with bronchitis then he is with strep throat. He stayed with his Granny Linda today and my sister has him during the night and he is going back to her house tomorrow. He has been running a high fever at times and I'm hoping it breaks soon. Please pray for my sister while I'm gone and pray that Kason gets to feeling better.

We had a safe trip down and I finally got to stop in Clanton for the first time and get homemade peach ice cream and let me say it was FABULOUS!!!! Once we finally got here and hung out by the pool for awhile it was dinner time and we headed to the Crab Trap for one of my favorite foods...CRAB LEGS!!!! Tomorrow ofcourse is a day of work standing behind a booth and smiling....FUN FUN FUN!!!

Hope everyone is having a great week so far...Thank God Its Almost The Weekend Again!!!

Holiday Weekend Review

Well let's see ....where should I begin. First off WAR EAGLE!!!!!! Friday was great only had to work 1/2 day so I was able to have alittle bit of free time and had lunch at Our Place. I just love there chicken salad and they close so early that I never get to eat there...so anytime I get off early that is where you can find me for lunch. That evening we went over to Shaun's house, ordered pizza and watched a movie. Saturday we decided to go ahead and cook out for the Labor Day holiday so it was mostly just a day of eating and hanging out by the pool and ofcourse that night it was FOOTBALL time. I think that's all the guys talked about and analyzed until kick off. We hung out with my family for awhile and watched the Alabama game then once Kason was asleep me and Shaun went to Robert and Amanda's house to watch the rest of the Auburn / Alabama game. Sunday we were up by 6 o'clock and headed to Nashville by 7 for alittle shopping. Kason hates long car rides but ofcourse he made me look like a crazy mom because he acted perfect all the way up there. He just ate his Jack's biscuit and took a nap. Let me just say I like going to Opry Mills Mall but wow how much shopping can you really do in a day?????? Finally around 3 we were done with the whole shopping thing. Saturday night Kason went back with Leslie and Me and Shaun went to the Wild Horse Saloon for dinner. I love country line dancing even if I don't know the dance I still will get out and try. I actually was able to get him out there a few times. We had a great time. Ofcourse later I find out from my sister that Kason had threw up in the car and was running a fever of 102.5. When I talked to her Monday morning she said he slept good and his fever was back down so he went ahead and spent the day with his Dad. Headed home from Nashville around 11 and then pretty much just hung out for the day. Needless to say Kason was up again last night around 11pm running a fever of 103.5 and crying so we have a doctor's appointment at 11:45. I just hope it's not a relapse of strep throat. I have alot to do today because I leave in the morning for a dental conference in Destin and I haven't packed a thing for me or Kason and plus I have to figure out who is going to keep him during the day if he is sick and can't go to daycare. Who said being a mom was easy????

Hope everyone had a safe holiday weekend!!!
