HAPPY GRANDPARENTS DAY!! 
WE LOVE YALL!!

We are truly blessed to have such wonderful grandparents!!!! Thank you!

Misc Stuff

Thank you Cameron & Stephanie for letting us visit and stay with yall!!!

So we still haven't moved yet and I am still extremely stressed for many different reasons! I absolutely HATE feeling like this! I am normally very happy and easy going but I need about a million of me right now! I told the Lord that if he is trying to remind me to be patient - I think I've got it - and if he is trying to teach me to "do everything without grumbling and arguing" - I'm trying real hard but I am on my last hair - speaking of hair I have found three gray ones lately - I really don't want to be gray when I'm 30!!! Okay - I'm smiling now - no grumbling or arguing - I'm trying to shine like a star. That verse by the way is Philippians 2:14-15.
So due to my anxiety - I made Bryan take me to Ft. Worth for the weekend on his birthday to visit his sister and her family. For those of you who don't know - Bryan turned the BIG 30 this year!!! Part of my anxiety is that I have been extremely sad and very much missing our family - his parents, grandparents and sister and family! So we went and had a wonderful time. It was so refreshing and not long enough. Steph says her home is small, but it feels like a home and it was very comfortable. The kids have been missing each other like crazy too. Cambry was crying every night for her best friend Gracie. So it was a huge blessing for all of us to be together again! I guess it being Bryan's 30th birthday - we wanted to be a little "rebellious" so Bryan & Cameron got a tattoo and I got my nose pierced!! That hurt "like something fierce" as Bryan would say - by the way!!!! On Sunday we were very blessed at a wonderful church! Then we had to come back to our crazy life again! We did leave Cambry in Ft. Worth for the week to spend time with her cousins and Steph and I met half way for lunch on Friday so Cambry could reluctantly come home! Cambry had the best time and it was a huge blessing to her that she had the opportunity to stay with them. I think she has been a little stressed too!!! Now here we are today - we had a bridal shower to go to and Cambry had auditions for the Nutcracker today. (We won't find out if she made it till Monday or Tuesday). Oh I have to share some of the little blessing that God gave me today! Cambry is going to be a flower girl in this wedding and I have known about it for awhile and I have needed to shop for her a dress. First of all- I haven't had time to shop and I hate shopping and the whole idea of trying to find this dress was one of the stresses. So my wonderful sister-in-law took her shopping for a dress - they found one that Steph wasn't to sure about, but they got it b/c there wasn't much of any other choice and it was on sale for way cheap - $18 - regular $70!!!!! So Cambry brought it home and I wasn't so sure either- so I went shopping late Friday night to try to find a second option to show the bride at the shower Saturday morning! Due to the great variety our stores in San Angelo have to offer - my efforts failed - but I did find a purse that I have been really wanting on sale for $25 - regular price was $80- it was the very last one and (this was the real blessing) I had just gotten paid for the cleaning job I've been doing! I wouldn't have been able to buy it if I hadn't of just gotten paid from that!!! Then we went to the shower today with the one dress that I wasn't so sure about and the bride loved it and she said it is almost just like hers!!!! God does love me even when I try to take things into my own hands and worry and stress!
So that's how life here has been going - if anyone cares!!! We would still appreciate your prayers that our house sales and Bryan's Water Valley house will sale! I would love to pray for something specific for you in exchange for your prayers !!!
Now- here are some more pictures of various things - mostly my precious, sweet, chunky little boy - and some videos of Zakry so his Papaw and Ma can see him doing some things. The short video is just of him being silly and the other is of him doing his favorite thing - eating!! He really loves his puff cereal snacks that he is eating and he thinks he is So big when he gets to eat something by his self!!!
