Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!!

WIllie Wonka...willie wonka....

These pictures are about a month old but this was the night we went to see the play Willie Wonka, It was a special night for me because it was the first play ever that I got to take Isabelle to!!!! She did soooo great and really enjoyed watching the live acting! I love theater stuff and grew up with my mom and dad taking us often!! I always sit there and think man I wish I could act like that. I keep pushing Summer to try out for a play, she would do awesome!! It was a night filled with a great play and willie wonka candy EVERYWHERE!!!! It was so fun!!!

Friendships....

I am such a loved person, I am not saying that to brag on myself but to brag on the people that love me and take care of me. They are always there when I need them and they keep me in check! They make me laugh when I am sad and they fill me with sugar because they know I love it!! God has blessed me beyond more then I could imagine with great friendships! One day I was having an awful day and went to hang out at my sister's house and she wasn't there but hanging on the door was my favorite candy and drink:) Then at the cabin on our vacation my best friend Jess had my favorite drinks already in the fridge when I got there plus made me chocolate chip cookies. Even last night just to say love she dropped by a surprise for me. My hope is that I am at least half as good of a friend to them as they are to me, and they will be super blessed. The day of my race, because people who knew me, knew how important the race was to me, called me and texted me, I had calls from Colorado, New Mexico, California and Texas!! I am blessed! Thanks for taking part of my life, for getting to know what makes me tick and for being patient with me in spite of it. In case I don't tell you today I love you guys!!

P.S. From the pics I look like a food junkie...I guess I sort of am.

Love these 9 things on friendship, if you have a best friend, this will relate to you, straight to the heart...it cracks me up:)

1. When you are sad,
I will jump on the person
Who made you sad
Like a spider monkey
Jacked up on Mountain Dew!!!

2. When you are blue,
I will try to dislodge
Whatever is choking you..

3. When you smile,
I will know you are
Plotting something
That I must be involved in.

4. When you're scared,
We will high tail it out of here.

5. When you are worried,
I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse
It could be until you
Quit whining, ya big baby!!!!

6.. When you are confused,
I will use little words.

7. When you are sick,
Stay away from me
Until you are well again.
I don't want whatever you have....

8. When you fall,
I'll pick you up
And dust you off--
After I laugh my rear off!!

9.. This is my oath.....
I pledge it to the end.
'Why?' you may ask;
-- because you are my FRIEND!

One of my Hero's

As of today my friend Pamella (who I call Pamella Ramella:) is officially in remission, she had her last chemo appointment today and she has taken it all with such bravery!! This woman has taught me so much, she started out being my boss in California and from there our relationship grew and she helped me through some of the darkest most confusing times of my life, she was one of my constant strengths and prayer warriors. I am so grateful to God who has journeyed through this time in her life with her. When I first found out about her breast cancer I was so torn and I felt so helpless sooooo far away, but God let me be there in different ways for her and I will go see her when she has gained some of her strength back. I am planning a trip to California sometime in August. God brings some people into your life and they forever change the course your life will take, this was Pamella to me. She will forever be one of my best friends, my greatest mentors and one of my heroes....thanks Pamella!!! God is so good, faithful, strong, and wonderful.

(yes I know I am so pregnant my face looks like a swollen grapefruit with eyes:)

P.S. Thanks to all those who prayed for my friend and who let me cry on their shoulder doing this hard time. During a hard time you realize how great a support system you have :) Thanks

I know there are a lot of pics here, but my wonderful sister let me borrow here camera so I tried to catch some of the girls just for fun!! Here are Kimberlin's Pictures....

I have had such a weird day today, it has been ok, but weird. I don't know if anyone reading this can understand what I am saying or if I am even communicating it in way that anyone else can understand me, but it is weird. I feel a little like I am in a daze, just kind of going through the motions of the day. Anyhow it is over and I am about to netflix it up, and climb into bed with an old black and white movie. I wish I had some great insight to share on life, or some challenging question to make you ponder, but, alas, I don't. I have very little left at the end of this busy day and I am praying that God renews my mind, body and spirit as I sleep tonight.

Tomorrow starts another week of
living
monday-ing
mothering
relationshiping
cooking
cleaning
planning
and growing...

ready or not here I come.
