mmm this morning i stepped outside and i felt a touch of fall in the air-i do beleive it is about to grace us with its presence and i beleive i am the most excited about this !!!i love everything about fall-and i find it very hard to be sad when it is fall...and here in nc it seems fall is double the joy with all the trees and beautiful mountains..eekk my heart cant take the excitement!!

the past week or so have been pretty rough!!!ive been having a terrrible amount of pain in my back..so bad that at times i can hardly walk or stand up.its been misserable-from not being able to sleep to hardly being able to get in and out of my car-i feel like an old women-and i do not enjoy it at all!!im not a cryer over pain-but this pain has made me cry!finally yesterday i went to the chiropractor and he adjusted me etc..and i got home and it hurt even worse-i called my mother in law who said it wil probably getworse before it gets better-so iwaited it out-this morning i woke up and felt pretty good-until i went to my cleaning job(big mistake)about 15 minutes into it i about fell over- i stuck it out-finished my job and immidiately called my massage lady who is also a doolah and has many answers for me usualy-i told her about my pain and she said its either sciatic pressure or its a kidney infection but from how i described the pain its sciatic.:(so im goin to her tomorow to get a massage ,hoefully releive the pressure a bit and pin point what this awful pain is...

last week Matt FINALLY felt baby mullet kick-i feel it ALL the time-and i love it..but for some reason everytime matt puts his hand on my tummy baby mullet thinks hes playing hide and go seek-so he/she gets very still.:) but finaly last week matt felt it.:)it was prettyy cool.wenever i watch tv i get so distracted i usualy endup pausing (DVR:)) the tv so i can watch baby mullet do all his/her moves.my belly rumbles around and sticks out here then sticks out there-it is the most amusing thing.i just love it!yesterday i got the most wonderful picture--everytime i think about baby mullet entering our world i thik of something different-one day ill think about when he/she says her first word or when he/she smiles for the first time..other times i think about he/.she in the youth group..and so on and so on--but yesterday i thoguht of something i havent thought o fyet and it brought tears...i pictured that moment right after the babys born and they hand the baby to my husband...the picture i had was incredible...i know that matt is gana be the worlds best father-he loves kids..and although this sounds funny-but if uve seen him with our dog i just think that shows so much..he loves our litle puppy and he takes charge of her too..i cant wait to see him as a daddy cause i know he is gana be the proudest man on the earth:)i cant wwait to see it !!...so i hope that wen that baby is in its daddys arms,i grab a pen and paper and write down what i see,what i feel and years down the road when that baby is ever questioning her/his fathers love for it i can show them that peice of paper...:)


thats all i got-im gana go lay down and rest this weary back-love to all

LIFES A DANCE YOU LEARN AS YOU GO....

where to start this blog...a week n a half ago my mom sister and her 3 girls up and packed there bags one morning and headed down here-planned the trip in a matter of a few hours..and lets just say some family time was much needed for me..ive bneen feeling a bit ,lets just go with hormonal:),the past couple weeks and last sunday night i called my mom in tears and told her how sad i was feeling and i culdnt stop crying..and an hour later my sister called and said"were coming in the morning" now dont think that i am that spoiled that i can jsut call my mom crying and she comes running to my rescue..not always the case..karen and mom had been wanting to come down in the next few weeks anyways,.,,they jsut hadnt put there heads together as to wen they would come..and this just made them think..oh hey we dont have anything goin the next few days..lets just go..soo they did.they came monday and left thursday and we had a wonderful time..my sister who has more energy then 10 monkeys combined got this wild idea to make me food and stick it in my freezer..so tuesday she went to work..she was in my kitchen all day making lasagna,chicken enchilladas,fiber balls,cookies and topped it off by making us dinner,chichekn alfredo.i felt so unworthy but overjoyed that i now had enough meals in my fridge to last me a week!!my mom who i have the utmost respect for and love more then any women in this worldwas just here and all i wanted her to do those days was just be my mom...and thats what she did..we sat around and talked figured out lifes problems and giggled at the little girls running around the small house..it was such good medicine those 3 days.i do love my family!!
on sunday Leroy Miller,who ive know for a few years and have allot of respect for,preached the mesage.it was all about goin through rought times in your life..so soo up lifting and i was to share a little peices of my notes....
"the trials and tribulations of this world are the safest place to be"
"if we feel crushed and broken your only becoming godly"
"no one else can go where you are going,where God is taking you.in those rough times you ahve to go alone.others can go half way and then they must wait,and pray for you..thats what Jesus did in Matt 26:37-38"
"if you dont feel alone youve never been to meet with God"
"we beleive that God is in control of everything then why do we worry/panic when our world seems to be falling apart"
so so encouraging..and i hope u were encouraged as well.

now onto the biggest part of our lives..our precious baby mullet.he/she is thorwing some serious kicks jsut in the past week..its the absolute BEST feeling!!! wen i sit i can see my belly moving around..and at night it will wake me up with his hard kick..i jsut love it.so so hard to beleive that in 4 and a half months that little bundle will rrive..and we are preparing:) my sister and mom went with me to register last week and i dont no what i woulda done without them!! im goin to pa end of this month and my family is having a shower for me..so excited for that!time is just flying by..i thought this stage would never come,with the belly showing and the kicks and the showers and the "soonness" of it! buttt its here...and its only gana keep gettin closer:)

everytime this baby kicks im reminded of how blessed and loved i am that my Father would choose my body to place this child in...HE CHOSE ME!and he has placed an annointing on my life as a mother and a wife..isnt that incredible?we as women,as mothers,as wives,have an annointing. beautiful.Lord your ways,your purpose for our lives,what an HONORE!!!

speaking of honore..that is something our church has been talking about soo much lately,honoring the life of God in others...so my challange to you this week,tell someone that you honore them.for what they do,for who who they are,for how they live,honore..as a christian it is our job to honore each other and to let each other know we do so...

i love you all so dearly-thank you for readin my posts:)i hope u were blessed

wow!what an incredible week-pictures to come:)we spent the week with matts family on orlando florida.matts parents have a time share there so we get to stay at this incredible resort and we pretty much hang out there all week long!the resort has its own putput place and i dont no how many pools and this year we got to do something special-matts parents bought all us kids a day at the holy land experience..amazing amazing place-filled with people who love the Lord and want to see him honored and glorified.desptire the heat it was an incre3dbile experience.we got home last night around 5 and spent the evening drinking in our wonderful home once again:)the tempatures dropped quite a bit here-from 95 to about 75 ish-but of course its saposed to go back into the 90's ths week:(im soooooo ready for fall i can hardly handle it.
baby mullet started his/hers intense kicking in my tummy.its such an awesome feeling-and im just waiting for the day that matt will be around when it happens and can feel it too:)
electra got a haircut and is now starting her gray coat:(i was hopeing she would be one of the rare yorkies that stays black her whole life but it aint lookin so good- oh i could stress over how shes gana be when the baby comes-but i keep reminding myself to cross that bridge wen it comes.:)
seems like our fall is quickly filling up-with weekend trips here and there-church functions,family and friends coming to visit us and before we know it ,decmeber will be here and we'l have quite a bit more action in this house:)
this post is very jumpy i know.one subject to the next..but thats mostly how i roll.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG SISTER ROSA!!today all i wanted to do was jump in my car and go kidnap her,take her to starbucks and giggle about her kids silly things they did this week or get our serious faces on about the tiny bit of drama in our lives,or go on about how much we love these times together-sometimes i could almost feel how it would be if we all did live close together-me still in my house here or course but able to jump in my car-drive 5 minutes and be at my moms or my sisters house,i wonder if id ever be at home,because thinking about it i feel like id always be over at my moms or sisters or somewhere-i spend soo much time at home..and its so weird cause even wen i lived in pa,i was fine goin out by myself and i often did..but down here i dont like goin out by myself,maybe cause im not quite as familiar with the area..theres somethign about driving,even just to the store and back and knowing so and so lives there,or ive been to this target a million times,that makes u not think twice about going.theres times when i could just cry remembering how easy it was to go places because that place was all i knew-now im getting to know a whole new place and i cant wait till this place feels like that place did...time..these things take time.:)
anyways-i think im gana go indulge in a peace of my incredible strawberry cream pie i made and hope that tonight chears me up-cause now im feeling kind of sad....surgar should help that:)
