We have had a marathon week as I am sure you have too! On Thursday the 13th - I was sick with an upper respiratory infection and stayed home from school, and learned that my sweet Mamaw passed away. Friday the 14th - I stayed home with my family, wrapped presents and continued to try to get well, and Matt and Lindsey flew in around 9pm. Saturday morning the 15th - we woke up, had breakfast, opened Christmas presents, ate some more, checked out our stockings, got dressed, picked up a birthday cake, headed to El Fenix, celebrated my Mom's 50th birthday with friends and family, went to Starbucks with Aunt Paula, Mom and Lindsey. Sunday - wake up, pack, take family Christmas card picture, load the car, head to Burkburnett,Texas, check in hotel, get dressed, go to the funeral home, 8pm - eat dinner and then go to sleep. Sunday - wake up, get dressed, go to funeral, eat lunch, drive home, get dressed, say bye to Matt and Lindsey, head to DBU for a grad school info session! On Tuesday - back to a class who has had a substitute for 3 days. If you have ever taught you know how tragic that is! So after school I took Anna Claire to the doctor for a horrible cough and was told to take her to x-ray for pneumonia. It wasn't, just an upper respiratory like me! Christmas party with my team, with my kids at school, CDO, etc. All in one week! WHEW! We are tired!! Nanny and Pappy's here we come :) Food, fun, family and RELAXATION.
I am so sorry about your Meemaw. It is never easy. Christmas came early at y'alls place. We are just getting started....but I am already tired. Hang in there....
We have been praying for your family - thanks so much for posting these pics - I have been wanting to see them! :) Wow - what a week - Julia was diagnosed on Christmas Eve with strep throat, double ear infection and had a breathing treatment due to low oxygen level...tis the season...yuck. Hope you are all on the mend - we are. :)
Hey - Jack and I were just looking at these and we noticed in the Anna Claire pic we saw the Dora twins AND the animal hospital in the background! :) Kickin a shout out to NV purchases! :) HAHAHAHHA
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
I am a wife, mother, sister, daughter, teacher, aunt, sister in-law, daughter in-law, friend, teacher, and believer of Jesus Christ. I feel beyond blessed to have found my true partner, soulmate and best friend for life...my sweet husband...Brad! I love being a Mommy to Anna Claire: my spunky, nature loving, dress up wearing, constantly singing beautiful little girl. My William "Barrett" - who is teaching me I can be a "boy Mom", who's contagious smile brightens my day, and the one person that has created an even stronger bond with my husband. I also love being a step-mom to Shelby Elizabeth the reserved, fun-loving, girly-girl who's thoughtfulness of others will melt my heart every time! Most of all I hope to live my life to honor Christ and demonstrate this in my family and to others.
