Lately....

Well, here it is almost the end of July and I haven't written anything this year. I always have the best intentions, but never stop long enough to do it even though it makes me feel better to get my thoughts down.



I looked hard for 4 months for a job, had 3 staffing companies looking for me as well, and could not find anything that matched my background. I am happy to say that in April, I started working for Sunshine Daycare (the one Hayden goes to). I am the 1 year old teacher from 7-2. I love it. For those of you who know me well, knows I have a strong passion for children, so this is perfect for me. There has been days that has been harder than others. I sometimes think that Jonah would be the age of these babies, and I wonder what he would be doing now - walking, starting to talk, etc. But even though I have a bad day every now and then, it has really helped me I think. Thank you Christie for having faith in me and getting me out of unemployment lol.



May 23rd of this year was Jonah's 1st Birthday. I decided to have a Birthday Memorial at his gravesite. We had balloons, and several of our friends and family came out. We said a prayer and released the balloons at one time. It was a very special day and I'm so happy that we had several people that means so much to us to be there for us!!! It was a hard day, but we got thru it, and it will continue to get better.



My Mawmaw in Alabama (my last Grandparent living) is not doing well. She had a stroke several months ago and has really went downhill from there. After a lot of attempts, my parents had to go ahead and put her in a Nursing Facility. It was a very hard decision for my Mom to make, but she and my Dad just couldn't do it anymore. Mawmaw was like a child in so many ways. She has great care and is very close to my parents. They go to see her several times a week, so she is not alone and forgotten. I love her with all of my heart. She is the one I have always been the closest to. A part of me does not want to admit that she is older now, and things are going to happen, but I have to face reality.



We joined Pearson Baptist Church in May of this year. We were going to Pinelake and liked it and everyone was nice, but we felt like we couldn't make friends or get plugged in. It was also too big for us. A big reason we chose to start looking around is because Cameron didn't know anyone, and felt if we were going to a Church in Pearl that he may get connected better. I talked to a friend of mine that goes there and she convinced me to come try it. We went one Sunday and I don't think we continued to look for a Church. We felt like we were at home. We have made several friends there, they have great ministries for all ages!! If you are looking for a Church, please visit us at Pearson Baptist!!!!



Jamie just finished Summer School and did very well. He is going to be taking 4 classes at night starting next month, as well as working a his current job, so please be in prayer for him. I am so proud of him for doing this for hisself and our family!!!



Cameron did really good in school for the 09/10 year. He will be in the 4th grade next month. WOW - my baby is growing up!!! He will be 9 next month also - UGH, I'm getting old!!! He also accepted Christ as his Saviour this Summer at VBS at our church. He got baptized last Sunday and my parents were able to come for the weekend so they could be there. Along with my parents, Jamie's parents, Brother and Sister in Law, and nieces were there!! I'm so blessed to have so many people care about us!!!



Hayden is just a MESS!!! He does the funniest things, you just never know what he is going to do next. He keeps us on our toes for sure!!! He is still sleeping with me, and I have got to get him in his bed and will begin that process when we get back from Bama next weekend. I think it's going to be harder for me than for him. But I have to do it, I know!!!



Well, just wanted to do a quick update on us. I'm going to get back in the swing of things. I get on here to read other blogs, but never take the time to do my own lol.
