Today is a crazy day yet they all seem to be turning into crazy days. I have so much going on at work and I’m a little sleepy. I can’t wait until we get Gracie house broke!!!! Oh my this getting up 3-4 times a night to go outside and play is making Dawn a little grumpy but I’ll be fine. After all if I want a baby this is what’s in store for me 
Hope all had a great weekend!

This is a picture from a resturant we went to for Patt’s birthday called Matilda’s. It was so pretty and peaceful.
Right now my life just seems crazy. I’ve spent the past several months depressed and trying to fix everything and make everything right when all I need to do is stop, take a step back and let God take it over. This is something that sounds so easy but it’s so hard for me to do and I don’t get it. Why can’t I just listen. Why can’t I let go. I am a work in progess and this past week this verse has been coming to mind during so many situations. I’ve been upset over a few things and with the time coming that we can start working on a family again just a couple weeks away I just keep hearing……”Be Still and Know That I am God”. So while life is crazy and I try to be in control as hard as it is for me I need to step back and let God be God.

The new spoiled addition will come home TONIGHT :) I’m leaving work early AND talking tomorrow off. Ruby is not sure what to think of all the “special” attention she’s getting…bless her heart she has no clue what’s coming home with mommy and daddy tonight. I really think she’ll do good. I hate her being at home during the day by herself and Patt hopes that the “mommy” instinct will come out and she’ll take to her real fast. We will see here soon 
My two favorites were Bella and Gracie. Patt did not like Bella and Gracie is the only name we both agreed on. Even though Jema and Jade were possiblities but Gracie just seemed to fit. I love Dixie and to me she does look like a Dixie but we have a horse with that name so it had to be different.
So in honor (or so that’s what we told Ruby last night) of last night being Ruby’s last night as having all the spotlight we had a cookout. I had one of my friends who’s son wanted to see the guys ride motorcycles come out and a few of our friends that ride that have kids come over and grilled hamburgers and I have to admit they were real good. (Thanks Mike for making the hamburger patties. whatever seaonsing you used they were awesome!) So it was a nice and relaxing afternoon. Not much for the boys to see on the bikes since we finally got some good rain! YES! YES! YES! Oh we’ve needed the rain! I do believe everyone had fun!
More weekend news….we told our pastor that we followed to his new church and have been going every other Sunday that we would now be coming EVER Sunday. Another YES! YES! YES! I am so happy about this decision. Anyone who has been here for a while knows I haven’t been happy at our church in our town so I’m looking forward to getting to know the people in our NEW church. Think I’m going to join the choir and may even start going to Sunday School class. (we’ve never done this) So real excited about this possibility!
Ok getting back to work. In 2 1/2 hours I leave to go get Patt to go get GRACIE
C-ya soon!

This is going to be our new baby. (yeah the ones with 4 legs..hehe) We should get her either this weekend or the first of next week. Her name you may ask. Well that’s a real good question and as soon as we know you guys will know too :) I’m somewhat worried as to how Ruby will take to having “competion” in the house. She is mighty spoiled!
The Saturday we got back from St. Louis we had to go get Ruby some flee meds and we saw this guy with two puppies. I have been wanting a long haired mini dachusand and when Patt saw this guy he asked if they were for sale. (they weren’t) So turns out the guys nephew breeds them and off we went from there. At first I had mixed feelings about getting the puppy. Yes I’ve been wanting one but the timing well we had just had the miscarriage and all I could think was a puppy is NOT going to replace my baby. Oh and we had to wait about 6 weeks…yeah just in time to start tying to have a baby again and now I’m going to be taking care of a puppy but that’s where Patt knows me better than I know myself. I am so excited about the puppy. No nothing will take the place of the baby not even when we have a baby but a puppy will maybe help get my mind off of being set and determined to get pregnant again right off the starting base or so. I love animals and I love puppies so now I can’t wait to get “her”….”no name”. She is so cute! Oh and already spoiled! I want to go by and play with her so bad but I’ll just wait until she’s ready to come home. Now I can’t wait for the day that I see Patt with a spoiled rotten dog on each side and a real baby in the middle. Now that thought just makes my heart smile

What a weekend! Wheeee oh my! So much and so little time. I LOVE IT!
First of all I’m all exicted. Got home and had an email from Amy Deanne over at The 160 Acre Woods saying that the print she was giving away contest I HAD WON!!!! What joy. I’m so excited. She is our host for Word Filled Wednesday and I just love being a part of this. Such a blessing so thank you Amy Deanne. I can’t wait to see what you send me
The weekend was wild! I finally got the guts to cut my hair. From the front it looks the same. I couldn’t cut my bangs and they’ve grown to about an inch past my chin but the back is short. She cut like 4 inches off the back and I love it! It’s so hot around here long hair I just can’t deal with.
After that I went to see Hunter and Samantha then went to hang out with a friend and just sit by her pool and catch up. Sunday my nephew Hunter was baptized at his “old” church. He wanted to be baptized there so that was such a joy. Got to play with the kids. Oh how I miss them! Hutner is growing up so fast and Samantha aka my princess is such the little diva. Guess she takes more and more after Aunt Dawn! So we got to spend Sunday with the family. Acutally it was a family themed weekend I guess you could say. Friday night we went to the church we’ve been visiting with Patt’s parents to a revial they were having and it was awesome!
BUT the wierdest thing about the weekend was Saturday night. I had cut my hair, visited my family, went to my friends, went to another friends and we went grocery shopping together and on my way home saw a little lightning but didn’t think anything of it. It had reached 100 that day so I just thought heat lightning so I got home Patt was out riding so I unloaded the car and then Ruby and I curled up on the couch and about 10:30 I heard this noise and it sounded like the roof of my house coming off. Looked outside and everything was flying around. We got a strange storm with horrible wind! I freaked out. I don’t like storms and I really don’t like being by myself in one. I finally got Patt and they were at a gas station about to take one of their runs and I told him it’s about to get bad. He blew me off thinking I was making a big deal out of nothing. Well after he got off the phone with him….the bottom broke lose where they were. He was able to get home but the ones that lived North of us in Madison had to sit it out for about 2 hours. It was a freaky storm. We weren’t suppose to get rain this weekend so go figure… but it was odd the way the wind did. It was so bad it blew one of the guys and and his girlfriend off the road. Think he got a broke foot and she’s all cut and bruised up. The wind was so bad it could have blown one of them big trucks off the road at times I think.
So that’s my weekend…fun, crazy and weird! So how was yours? Ok off to get some work done today!

This week I decided on Psalm 147:1. How good it is to sing praise to our God….I just love that verse. I love music always have. Since growing up music has played a special part of my life. From learning to play the piano to singing in our church. Above is Micheal W. Smith, Amy Grant and Steven Curtis Chapman. All three would rank as my top 3 all time favorite Christian artist. During times in my life when I’d run and hide (or so I thought I was hiding from God), music found me. My love for music was God’s way of bring me back close to Him.
From Micheal W. Smith’s song Friends, Amy Grants song Father’s Eyes and Steven Curtis Chapman’s song Waiting for Lighting played a role in my life.
The words are just beautiful. I’ll share my favorite song by Amy Grant. One night I was to sing at church and this is the song I sang. I remember being so mad at my dad about something, I don’t remember what, but I refused to sing this song. I was thinking my father’s eyes as in my father here on Earth but I remember my mom telling me no…this is about our Heavenly Father’s Eyes. May be all strive to have our Father’s Eyes.
Father’s Eyes
I may not be every mother’s dream for her little girl.
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world.
But that’s all right as long as I can have one wish I pray.
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say.
CHORUS:
She’s got her Father’s eyes, her Father’s eyes
Eyes that find the good in things, When good is not around.
Eyes that find the source of help, When help just can’t be found.
Eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain.
Knowin’ what you’re going through, and feeling it the same.
Just like my Father’s eyes, my Father’s eyes, my Father’s eyes
Just like my Father’s eyes.
And on that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done,
Good and bad they’ll all be had to see by everyone
And when you’re called to stand and tell just what you saw in me,
More than anything I know, I want your words to be

Laurie Ann tagged me with this meme. 6 things about me that you don’t know. That’s going to be hard because I’m pretty much an open book here so I’m going to try and see what I can come up with.
1. Growing up I wanted to be a veterinarian. That was until the day our neighbors horse got sick while they were out of town and we had to call the veterinarian. When he learned I wanted to be one when I grew up he took great detail to tell me everything he was doing. He needed to take the horses temperature and he told me I could do that. Well let’s just say they don’t open their mouth and say ahhhhhhh. Changed my mind as you can tell.
2. I don’t like being told I can’t do something. Yeah like riding a motorcycle. My family thought I was nuts for wanting to drive one so when Patt got his new one I got his Honda CBR. He taught me and I just loved it then one day I was riding back from a family get together got rattled. (me don’t like curves) got home and said I’m done. See I can ride one…I just choose to keep my happy tail in something with 4 wheels but IF I wanted to I could ride one just for the record
3. I have a thing for pens. I love them. I’d buy everyone one I saw. Don’t know what it is about pens but I can just never have to many but yet when I need one I can’t ever put my fingers on one.
4. I was a cheerleader in high school. Not that it was a big deal. My school was in the country and very small but I was a cheerleader.
5. If we could pack up and move anywhere I’d go to the moutains. I would love to move to the moutains. Just something peaceful about them. Oh I wish we could move.
(this is harder than you think….)
6. I am driving my husband crazy! (ok what’s new there) It seems I have a bad habit of when I say something I add real quickly to the end of the statement. Like I’m going to call my mom real quickly before I start cooking. I’m going to run to the store real quickly. I’m going to take a shower real quickly. Just a few examples to give you.
So now I’m to tag people to join the fun. I’m simply going to tag everyone to do this fun little meme “real quickly”.

Well this weekend we treated ourselves to going to the movies. This is something we don’t really do much. We’ll wait until they come out on DVD but we’ve been wanting to see The X Files so Saturday off we go. So excited, I just love movie popcorn and going to see a movie I was like a little kid. We get there get our favoirte seats you know the ones at teh very top in the middle ready for the show.
Oh the excitement. We use to love watching the tv series so the movie was going to be awsome….so we thought. What a disappointment! Oh we left the movie so down in the dumps. It was nothing like the build up and to be honest the tv series was so much better. It was a let down. We had been invited by friends to go see Batman but we turned that down because we watched The X Files every week and this was a movie we both wanted to see. After seeing it we wished we went to see Batman. I”m not sure if it’s even worth renting it on DVD….just wait a few months and it’ll be on HBO. So without a doubt it was a thumbs down for us.
Friday night we went out to eat with Patt’s family for his birthday. For you guys that live around here it’s a really cool place in Mt. Olive called Matilda’s. It’s a family owned place and it’s country cooking, you’ve got seafood, hamburger steaks, fried green tomatoes and of course fried dill pickles. (have to be honest some of the best fried dill pickles i’ve ever had) Outside they have a pond that’s all decorated and beautiful flowers. They had a guy playing the guitar singing while we were there. Matilda’s get a two thumbs up. For real those of you that live around here it may be a little drive but it is worth it. I’ll post pictures later of the place. We sat in a glassed in patio over looking the pond and garden. Very nice.
Other than that the weekend was me playing on the scrapblog. Ok that is getting addicting. I am printing them out and putting them in an photo book.
Ok it’s late and I’m tired. I’ll post a meme I was tagged on tomorrow
