And jeannie what ever im supose to do with kirs blog im not sure so i better wait till im better cause you lost me in what you said.and the hair thing you no better.. A womans hair is her glory.

Its cold

well we got some snow and it is cold. And yes the girls ran out there in there skirts. So of course we are so the wierdos. But hey who cares what others think.My dh will be home friday I hope. I so hope that when he gets here it will be a good home comeing seeing how we have been struggling so much with the way he travles. We will see. I so hope i can get ona schedual i just cant seem to get with one nothing seems to be working.why oh why. I so dont have will power at all.I feel so over whelmed with all that i need to getdone that i just seem to not get nothing done. I mean it has been 7 months since we moved and we still have not finished i told my dh he needs to take some time off and we have got to finish. nobody likes seeing a house that still has others things all in it.

IT's been 13 years.

man can you believe that I have been married as of today 13 years. It has been a roller coaster 13 years. Many good times and many bad. This is a lot to take in 30 years old and married 13 years now. I have looked back at the last ten years. And i have learned a lot. Maybe more than i have thought that i have. I can look back and see were i have been and were i do not want to go back to. Most people hate to turn the big 30 me I so loved it. I feel like it is the start of something new.

What a week

Man have I had a week. I feel like i could stay inside for a month. Church was so good. Even if there are a few things I have been working threw. It was so good. I'm so thankful I don't go to church for others or for people to see me I go because I want just one more chance to see God move. So many want to stick there nose were it don't belong they should keep to there selves Your sins will find you out you are playing with fire when you are a christian that is saved God always will come and get you . The old saying do unto others as you would do unto your self so true you reap what you sew. If people woule just worry about there own lives things would be so much better. If only people would pray for others rather than run there mouths man how God would move. AS I COME up on my 30th birthday I have looked back at the years and all the good and bad things i have done and there has been alot. I have failed the Lord in many ways and yet have growed in many ways. God has been long suffering with me and I s don't deserve that but ne has. I have learned that God is the only one that gets what is going on with you. That there is no use trying to tell others they don't get it they read way to much into it or take it the wrong way or things will look other than what they are. God will see it for what it truly is. There is no misunderstandings with God. Ain't that great that God is a loving for giving God.one of the hard things for me and i think for everyone is how great it is that God forgives and forgets but us humans we may forgive but we never forget we just don't get over things we remember every bad thing that others do but yet we forget so easily the good things they do why is that? This year I so want to work on that forgiving and forgetting. Man just think if all people do that hoe much better the world would be. I so have learned i have better Friends that are older than younger.I know that i am so happy to turn 30 i would not go back to my 20s for nothing and most 20 to 29 year old need to grow up and get there buts off there shoulders and stop thinking its all about me because it ain't.I hate to admit I was one of those people. so glade to be out of it. I hope that this time next year when my 31st b-day comes that i have gotten over many things and have grown by leaps and bounds in the Lord.
