Ahhhhhhhh...

IT'S COOL OUTSIDE!!! Obviously, we can't go as far as need a jacket, sit by the fire kind of cool, but hey, it's Texas! I will take what I can get!!!

I love you...

Hi Baby...it has been so long since I have written to you the words of my heart...

It is so amazing to me the amount of love that continues to grow within me. I would give my life for you without a seconds hesitation. The Lord has blessed me with your life and it a true joy to be your mother. It is hard to believe you are almost 12 weeks old...and I thought this whole pregnancy thing would take FOREVER! I have started to picture you as you grow older in there. I wonder about what you look like now, what you will look like tomorrow, next month, and on and on.

There are simply no words to explain to you how wonderful you are. Please know I am always here for you. I pray for you, for your happiness, for your dreams...

I love you sweet baby.

Always and Forever,
Mommy

My Current Favorite...

A Month!!!!!!!!!!

WOW, has it seriously been almost a FULL MONTH since I updated the blog??? I can't believe how quickly time has passed!!! Of course, it is busy season + quarter close... I suppose I will use that as my excuse for being absent for so long. Thankfully, October 15th is ALMOST here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall life has been good for us these past few weeks. Kevin and I took a couple of days vacation and visited Dad and Gail in Panama City Beach, Florida. Our flights were miserable, delayed, and miserable (did I mention that already?)! I officially spent my first full night in an airport...I will pass on EVER doing that again. Even knowing all of that, I wouldn't have traded a minute of our visit, though I would have DEFINITELY NOT chosen Atlanta as our connecting airport!

We had a wonderful time visiting ~ we are so blessed to have such a loving family! Our visits with them are always relaxing and fun, and to be in such a beautiful place was just an added benefit. Want to know something just amazing ~ the water is BLUE and the sand is WHITE! No offense Galveston, but...oh for our water to be so blue... We ate wonderful seafood, searched for and found sanddollars, rented a pontoon boat on Sunday to go to Shell Island, and here comes the best part...WE SAW DOLPHINS!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I do have an obsession but I just think they are some of the most beautiful and wonderful animals the Lord ever made!

I've posted a few pictures below for your enjoyment :)

Other than that, we haven't been up to much...just work...how exciting, right?! I promise to right more often now that the end of state tax returns is in sight! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

We Will Never Forget

It has been 8 years since the tragedy of September 11, 2001 ~ a day that is forever in our memories and that has altered the history of the United States in ways that are simply unexplainable.

It is my prayer today, that the Lord will continue to surround those who lost loved ones on that day, those who have so graciously given the ultimate in the call of duty, and those who have dedicated their lives to protecting our great country.

It is a great honor to be a citizen of the United States and one that should not be taken lightly. We will never forget!

Thank you...

Thank you to all the men and women who volunteer to keep our country safe! While thank you is not nearly enough, please know, your work does not go unnoticed. For those who have given the ultimate, we are so blessed to be a part of honoring you and your families this holiday season.

A Perfect Expression...
