Today is my niece's Birthday. I can't believe she is 11 years old already! She was the funnest baby, EVER! I remember the day she was born, like it was yesterday. The hospital room was FULL of family. The doctors and nurses were great to all of us, and let us all be in there without complaining. I remember one of the nurses telling my Mom that she should have me leave the room if she ever wanted me to have children. She said watching the birth could solidify my decision to not have children. No, that wasn't going to do it. We already knew we weren't going to have children. So I wasn't going anywhere. You couldn't have paid me to leave the room! My sister Emily was AMAZING. Being just a baby herself, she went through it all like a PRO. The moment Reyanna was born, all of our lives changed. I was now an Aunt!! I can't tell you how PROUD I am to have such wonderful nieces and nephews! I feel blessed beyond words. The love I feel for each and every one of them, couldn't be stronger than if they were my own children. I cherish every moment that I spend with them.

Things around here have been going really good. I mean, football is here! It's getting to where Fall will be coming along soon, and all the Holidays will be here! We're looking at getting out of town next month and renting this amazingly beautiful house up north some. Can't wait for that. I think it'll be amazing, as there is a pool, jacuzzi, koi pond, and pretty much all you could want. Noone around for miles, a view to die for, the livingroom alone is 1500 sq. ft!! JUST the living room! The house is 5000 sq. ft. total on 5 acres. That's hard to come by in San Diego County! With a family like mine, the extra room will be nice. Noone will be bumping into each other, that's for sure!

I've missed church 2 weeks in a row, and that isn't something I want to continue doing. It's been a busy couple of weeks. We went camping one weekend, so we weren't able to make it to church, and then this last Sunday I did the Heart Walk 5K that I had committed to doing so I missed church again. Hopefully tomorrow night we'll make it, and at least get some worship in. I love my church, I love my pastor. It's nice to finally find a "home" at church. I love that Larr and I are doing this together and are on the same page together. Making all of our decisions together, and being in agreement makes it all the better. I love how I feel these days. I love the feeling of peace I have about life. I know that it's all going to work out. I just have to put my trust and faith in God, and in His time, we will prosper! The decisions I have had to make along the way, haven't all been easy ones. Sometimes you have to step back and take a look at the people in your life, and what kind of influence they are having in your life? Sometimes when you step back and look at the big picture, you see something completely different from what you thought was going on. You have to make decisions for yourself. You can't just trust that what someone tells you, is the Gods honest truth. Especially if what you see, is completely different from everything you've been told. Just because you think you can trust the source, you should make up your OWN mind about someone after you KNOW that person well enough to make that decision. When you pray and ask God to show you the right path, He will. You just have to ask!
