Alot to be thankful for.

This last year has been one of the most amazing and unexpected years of my life. I went from being super newly weds to owning a house, and two prayers were answerd: having a great relationship with Nolita & Scott and being able to see the little ones & having Jazmin in our lives. Amen!
I am also thankful for, well my husband of course who has been amazing to me. From the nightly foot rubs to the patience with my mouth and while I adjusted to new life in Oklahoma ( many night missing my Carissa, Emma, Sara, Kay, and Diana and my other beauties in Ohio & Michigan) But at the same time I take a look at whats around me and I see how blessed I am: I have a great(ish) job,I have family all around me, Wonderful new friends in Okmulgee (who may I add, it feels natural being around them like Im not the new one to the group) and Ijust see how blessed this year has been... I cant imagine how much our family and lives will grow and change this following year. I dont want to imagine it. I think I like the surprizes life has to give you.  God knows me better then I know me so im in great heads, dontcha think?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope your day is blessed. I hope your year is blessed as well.

Two Singing souls. We love you Jazmin.

For many years my husband has searched for his daughter Jamin. She was 7 years old when he found out about her. There was a blood test done & as he tried to see her she seemed to disappear. He contacted social workers to find her but no door seemed to open. As him and I started "courting", I searched for her too. She was older now & maybe just maybe she would be some social network. Nothing. It was a challenge not to worry about her wellbeing. So we continued to pray and we both felt the Lord say shes ok and she will come to you. Almost a year later: she did!!! We were packing up to move and got the phone call from Matt(a rep at a non profit org) that she went through to find him! He was blessed enough to get a chance to talk to her a few days later. They were both so excited and both so nervous. A few tough questions he had to answer but for the most part they talked & laughed. They sang to each other. There was a beautiful connection between them. We are excited for all that is to come. Praise Jesus!!!
