I'm happy...I pray you are too!

Well, it has been a month since I started this blog. When I first started I thought I would have something to write everyday. Writing everyday isn't a reality, but that is ok.  I'm not sure if all of you out in blog world would care to read something posted from me everyday.

I am settling into 34. Eating much more healthy and exercising more often. I have been reading through Samuel and Kings in the Bible. I'm really interested in understanding the history better. I hope to read through the Bible this year,but I refuse to start in Genesis. Larry and I had the opportunity to have two beautiful Irish sisters in our home a few years back. One of the girls pointed out to me that many Christians have read through Genesis many times.  She noted the reason to be that  anyone wanting to read through the Bible "proper" as she said, will start with Genesis first and often give up before the end.

 I really enjoy the relationships God has given me, and I am getting old enough for exciting reunions with past friends. I forgotten how many I have accumulated over the years.

My children are a constant joy in my life. My Lily is growing into a beautiful young lady. She is officially taller than me.  She measures 5ft 1in. The other day, the principal of her school singled me out and told me what a fantastic child I have and how she is such a joy to have around.

Eli is always surprising me with his wit. He is always saying  funny, thoughtful things. He came into the kitchen the other day to tell me a joke.  "Mommy, what singer celebrates April Fools Day? Peter Fooler. " That is funny if you are a Newsboys fan. He can join any conversation with an anecdote from Spongebob and every once in a while surprises me with a kiss.

My Wynnie is a doll. Her 2 front teeth are nearly grown in. She is reading really well, and she loves to do her school work. Her baby brother looks to her often for help, and her big brother looks to her for a play buddy.  They are two peas in a pod. I look to her for a sweet smile, and she never lets me down.

Mati...well...he is two, and he is a stinker. He does the naughtiest things; However, he is so cute doing them that he rarely gets punished. He left a lovely mural for me on my living room wall. (Just an FYI that a Mister Clean Sponge will not get red dry erase marker off of a yellow wall.) He wakes up at 6:30 to "get to work." I'm awakened by the flick of his light switch and his little feet scampering across the floor. He never fails to find the loudest toy in his toy box to play over and over again, about 100 times before I am able to roll out of my comfy bed.

My dog is peeing all over the place and, as Forest Gump would say, "that is all I have to say about that."

Larry is my life. I find myself daily day dreaming about him.  I dream about the past we have shared and the future to come. I can't express how important he is in my life.  I'm so in love.

So that is where I am right now.  It is not perfect, but it is heading in a good direction. I'm happy!  I pray you are too!
