Prayer request

Well, I am officially quit smoking!! Wooo. I do still have nicotine in me though, that could be helping. It has almost been 16 hours, and hasn't been super terrible. I am just praying that I can do it this time, like I said the patch seems to be helping, but I don't want to relapse. I do not want to smoke for the rest of my life, so I have to do this sometime, and I don't want to keep quitting....it is a most stressfull thing, when you quit and fail and quit and fail....does numbers on ones self esteem.

Can I ask for all your prayers??

Daily life...







Ahhhh, I feel like I am sort of back to regular everyday life now. We have had a very busy couple of weeks planning our anniversary party, and so much thanks to everyone who helped, it went off with out a hitch. Chris and I got to have the partay that we always wanted, and even though we had a small child running around until three o'clock in the morning (THAT was not planned) she was awesome and had fun and we had a blast.





These were our tables, oh so beautiful!

Gracie "helping" Auntie Jamie, really she just wanted to ride on the cart!!

Our family (Gracie is soooo ready for bed)



Then after the party we had all sorts of loose ends to tie up, and bills to pay, and running around to do, then I got sick.......I am feeling better today finally, still have a nasty cough, but on the mend.


So maybe now I can get to my long neglected house work (yuck)


Hubby is gone for the week, starting today. I so can't stand it when he is gone, he is such a help to me and loves spending time with Gracie, that I really do miss him and his help. Time should pass quickly though, and hopefully we can go visit him...


A couple of updates; chewing my nails...I got a gift certificate for my birthday for a professional job on my nails. I will be doing that soon, and that should break my nasty habit. Smoking; I am still a smoker, but hopefully this week I will be trying again to quit. Last time that I failed at quitting I realized that I don't think I can do it on will power alone, so I have purchased the Patch and HOPE that works better for me. I so hate this habit.....And finally the drinking too much pop; well, I am leaving that one for now, and going to concentrate on the more unhealthy one!!!

Poor, poor pitiful me!

I am sick...sick, sick, sick, sick, sick.

I got sick on Friday (my birthday) which sucked huge as he made a wonderful supper and we had plans to hang out and play games and just be together....but I went to bed.

Then it was Thanksgiving weekend!! Wonderful meals cooked, wonderful meals swallowed....but I couldn't taste them. Even a cheesecake for dessert yesterday....my favorite....nope couldn't taste it.

I was thinking I would be feeling better today...nope...still sick.

And Hubby goes away for a week tomorrow......

WAHHHHHHH!!!

My story

Welcome to my blessed life!! Meet myself, a 32 year old stay at home momma. Meet hubby, who I have been married to for 14 years. We got married right out of high school, and while there have been many hardships, my husband is my best friend, and I wouldn't change a thing. We are living life with a 6 year old Grade oner, Gracie and 3 year old toddler, Alysha, which has its challenges, but we love every minute of it. God has blessed us with everything we need as well as tonnes of great friends and family.
