So, I have the dreaded fall cold...you know, the first cold of the season, which is always the worst because you forget how bad they really are. I have had it all week, and now I am completely drained. I have so much "stuff" I want to do this weekend ~ get my mums for outside, yardwork, set up the bed in our spare bedroom, not to mention that our whole house needs a thorough cleaning. Let's hope a REALLY good night's sleep will help for tomorrow.
I am very thankful for cold medicine...
...make the happiest moments.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

- I am thankful to be a child of God. I have been married to my best friend for nine years, and have the most beautiful daughter in the world. My ultimate goal is to be a fully devoted follower of God. Only He can enable me to be the wife and mother I should be.

Here is our amazing and very smart little 6 year old. She is everything I have ever wanted in a little girl. I thank God for her every day.
