3 years! and it's still new!

Today marks our 3rd year of being united by God in marriage! 

What a blessing it has been!

We have learned many things! and experienced God's blessings of marriage many times! 

Our love for each other has gown more and more! and it will continue! 

We have decided to make it our goal to always be able to fit into our wedding attire, and continue taking photos in them every couple of years or so... 

It will be a reminder of the years past, how we have grown, and it will be neat to see us get old in our wedding "get up" as I like to call it.

January 25th, 2013

I was very excited when I tried my dress on and it fit! Today was my goal date to be able to fit into my wedding dress again! and I did!

It brought back so many memories to see each other in our wedding outfits!
I just kept looking at Philemon and remembering how nervous I was on that day!
he was and is so handsome! memories! I love remembering things! It keeps things alive!

Sad, SAD, sad!

im betting the next thing to happen will be a woman president! this is crazy! 

so much for a man protecting a lady in this county any more! 

Ban on combat positions for women lifted!

if anyone has scrap fabric they are wanting to get rid i'm your girl! 

also... i wouldn't mind some models!!  newborns,toddlers, kids, and adults... so i can have lots of different sizes.

 

Recent Life in the Rose Garden.

There are some things I have found you do NOT have to teach you children! 

james quit doing this before Jonathan was born... some how Jonathan just knows that this is what you do to the wipes when mommy's not looking! :)

who needs high-chairs?  my kids are little piggies! 

(for the record, i dont let them do this, it was easier to let them eat this way that day because i was missing one of my highchairs, and the noodles are a lot easier to wipe off the table then pick out of the highchair. heheh!)

my projects today...

2 skirts in about 3 hours.. i cant decide if i keep them for the future (if i ever have any girls) or sell them, or give them away. one is about a 18 mo, and the other is 0-3 mo

i just love that i can put the peasant skirts together! and i have sooo much scrap fabric! they just happened to match each other :)

My prayer and goal...

This morning i was reading in 1st kings, and i came upon some really inspiring verses:

1 Kings 2:1-4

Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, 

" I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;

And keep the charge of the lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgements, and his testimonies, as it is written int he law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever, thou turnest thyself: 

That the lord may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, 

If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee(said he) a man on the throne of Israel ".

I pray that I can teach my sons to be strong men of God, who follow after his commandments, and show them selves men! i pray i can instill a love of Christ in them, and that they will take heed to their ways, and follow after the truth.!  so may "teens" don't know how to be men and women of christ, don't pay attention to what they are doing. they are still children.(i was one of them!)  I pray I can grow my boys to be young MEN! Solid in the truth, not afraid to speak it, not ignorant in the truth! all over scripture Christ promises reward to those who teach and train the next generation to Love, honor and obey him, and punishment to those who do not! i pray that God gives me wisdom, and strength to raise them to love him, and grace when i fail.(because i know i will at times).

stupid adds!

im wondering how in the world im getting adds in my blog...

i post something new, and special words think they need an add for them, so the next thing i know, i have an add for something like but cream, or baby gates, just because i might have used those words in a post... i also get adds above my blog title, and above every other blog i look at, and with special words in someone else's blog... how to i turn it off, or make them go away... its kind of annoying! :)
