SO exciting!!....

I just found out my early Valentine's present!! I am getting fresh highlights and a pedicure tonight and whatever else I need done!!! Charlie told me he is watching the kids so I can go and do this; WOW!!!! My sister(she is a beautician(is that the word?) is going to do it for me and I love the way she does my hair. It's been awhile since we have done pedicures but she used to do a great job! lol.

I am so proud of my sisters. Tammy is doing so well in beauty school and it's just nice to see her so happy. It's amazing how smart she is and how good she is at what she does. I will have to take pictures of my hair and show it off. I am so looking forward to being together and laughing and just being sisters. :) Crystal, my other sister, blows me away with the wonderful job she is doing as a wife and homeschooling mom. She is amazing and such an inspiration to me. I can't wait until I get to go up and spend some time with her and the fam! :) LOVE YOU,BOTH!!!!!

My husband is just blowing me away this week. Last night he brought home a rose bush for me(I would rather plant them outside and enjoy them all spring and summer than to watch them die within days) and a new muffin tin (I needed this SO bad) and some heart shaped Reese's cups (my fave) and a little bear that says "Hug me". :) Today, he told me about this!!! And, tomorrow we are eating a wonderful supper cooked by him and watching a movie after the kids are in bed, YAY!!!

What am I doing for him, you ask? Well, he got a new nail gun (he's been wanting forever) and I wrote him a long romantic letter and he has been going to the chiropractor and getting adjustments. Also, a few other things that I am not talking about!!! :) lol.

Anyway, I LOVE him so much and he is just so amazing as a husband and a father. He is becoming such a wonderful man after God's heart and I am SO SO SO proud of my baby!!

Hope ya'll have a wonderful Valentine's Day & weekend!!!

Love,
Julie

please pray...

Alaina, Jase & Kylie (my sister's precious babies)

My sister asks that you pray for her 22 month old son, Jason(Lily's buddy). He may have RSV. She is also in the middle of her stepson's wedding which is Saturday. As you can imagine, the stress is horrible. Please pray for her & for Jason. Thank you. I will update when I can.

Love,

Julie

Random things....

I am going to the OB today and this is the day that I set up my ultrasound appointment for next week. I had to reschedule last week's OB appointment or I would have had the ultrasound this week but that's okay. Everything works out in God's perfect timing! So, I am just keeping everyone updated on that. I would appreciate it if you would continue to pray for the ultrasound appointment to go well.

I want to say thank you to a couple of people that I don't mention on here very much. My sister Tammy, who is going with me today and Melissa (Charlie's cousin) who has been a GREAT friend to me lately. I really appreciate all you do and how you have lifted me up the past couple of weeks, I needed that so much! I go to church with these two and I think that they are both trying really hard to continue to knit our congregation into a true example of the love of Christ. I am just feeling really grateful for these two lately and SO blessed to have them in my life.


Well, off to get things ready for the trip to the Dr's appointment! Should be interesting but fun with Claire, Lily, Sarah & Rose (my nieces). They really are a great help watching them! And, I can't wait to see my little sister, Crystal, this weekend and my nieces and nephews!!!! :o) We have LOTS of graduating seniors in the family this year! (A blog post just for them is coming soon).

*Also, I hope to get Lily's birthday pictures posted soon. We had some trouble with the 1hr. photo at Wal-Mart (surprised?) I still do not have my new digital. Charlie is going to pick it out for me and so I am waiting...... But, that's okay. He always gets the one I want, anyway! :o)

Have a blessed day!

Happy Birthday to my baby sister!!

Happy Birthday today to my sweet baby sister! I won't say how old she is because that would be aging me. lol. She's a wonderful sister to have and always has been my best friend through everything. I am so glad that Claire & Lily have each other and I hope they love each other as much as we do. We are truly blessed to have our sisters. Life just wouldn't be complete without them! Have a great birthday, sissy!

Love you,
ME
