Thankful Thursday
As promised, here are some birthday pics!
You cannot be grateful and bitter.
You cannot be grateful and unhappy.
You cannot be grateful and without hope.
You cannot be grateful and unloving.
So just be grateful.
What are you grateful for?
Big Love,
Sarah

Gabriel's 2nd Birthday
We had such a fun day last Friday! For lunch, we (Nana & myself) took Gus, Maya, Dom, and Grady to McDonald's. Gabriel's very best friend met us there (Papa, of course)! Then, we had a big party that evening. Gabriel shares his birthday with my godmother and his godmother, Aunt Amy. She was so excited about having a Shrek birthday cake! ;) Gabriel raked in on gifts...lots of toys, and 14 new outfits for the summer! Yes, my family is AWESOME. I am so happy that MY family supports us so much and helps Sam and I raise these sweet babies. (Not to mention how much they supported Sam on his birthday last Wednesday...he got some moolah and raked in on gift cards!) So, lemme just say it one more time so y'all will understand...MY FAMILY ROCKS!!!!!!!
On Saturday, we took Gus and Maya to the movie theatre for the first time, and they did GREAT! Nana, Papa, Grady, Carmen, Aaron, Nathan, and the 4 of us ventured out to see Shrek 4, and I am so glad we went. We had a great time, and it was a fabulous show. Gabriel even stayed awake for the majority of the movie, so I was impressed; and Maya...well, she was Maya...sittin on the edge of her seat, clapping, gasping, laughing, and just being her cute, animated self as she watched Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, and Puss n Boots. :)
Okay, so I've been tryin to post some pics but apparently I'm having some technical issues, so pics will come asap.
Love you all,
Sarah

My Beautiful Babies
A week ago today I was extremely sick with a migraine, the weather being the culprit. It was one of the worst ones I've ever had, and I didn't think it would ever go away. My stomach wasn't cooperating, and as a result, I "lost" 3 of my migraine pills...had my head not been pounding, I probably would have attempted to salvage them lol. For those of you unfamiliar with migraine medicine, I get 6 pills for $90. No generics.
Now, I know that my babies are awesome. And, I know that because I'm the mama, I probably tend to be somewhat biased in my opinions of their knowledge and excellence. BUT...let me just tell you...I have THE MOST AMAZING, SMART, SWEET, CARING, LOVING, AND COMPASSIONATE BABIES IN THE WORLD.
While I was throwing up in the bathroom, Gus brought me a new ice pack...which Maya had gotten out of the freezer by herself with a kitchen chair. They both followed me back into the bedroom where Maya proceeded to rub my head, as she has learned to do by observing my mom and Sam. When I finally realized that the migraine was causing a situation of role reversal, I knew it was time to call Mom to come pick all of us up so the kids could at least have a somewhat 'normal' day.
There was no way I could get them ready to go...every piece of light and sound just made me want to puke, so I was doing my best to be as still and quiet as possible. I made it out to the living room, sat on the ottoman, and waited for Mom to pull up. A few minutes passed, and out came Maya from her bedroom...completely dressed--clean undies, shirt, shorts, socks and shoes...AND they all matched!!! lol If that wasn't enough to bring a smile to my face and heart, she then began dressing Gabriel. Not even just dressing him, though. She changed his diaper. She took off the onesie he slept in, put on a clean one, and finished with his shorts, socks and boots.
Absolutely precious.
Aren't children just awesome? And, isn't it just absolutely amazing how God knows exactly what we need? I remember being in tears when I found out I was having a boy...I sooo wanted Maya to have a sister. Thank goodness that His foolishness is wiser than my wisdom!!! I don't know what I would do without them in my life.
I hope you enjoy the pics.
Love you,
Sarah

Thankful Thursday
Man, this has been one looooooooong week. And, I am so thankful that in the midst of it all, there is one constant factor: the Jesus factor. Where in the world would I be without Him?!
As I mentioned earlier this week, we had revival, and while it wasn't a shoutin', jumpin', hollerin' shindig, it WAS a quiet, peaceful, necessary time of restoration and...revival. :) I don't think it could have been scheduled for any better time, as rough of a week as this was for me, and I'm so thankful that I had something to look forward to at the end of each day.
I am also thankful today for 2 very special people who have been holding me up in prayer during my times of hardship. Oddly enough, I would have never imagined these individuals to be such dedicated prayer warriors for ME; I mean, really, I don't even know them that well...but apparently that doesn't matter. And, I honestly can't say there is any greater feeling than knowing that someone else just flat out loves me totally and completely for who I am. People who just radiate Jesus. It's awesome.
One of those people is my dear landlord and the other is a friend who was our music leader this week in revival.
What are you thankful for today?
Big Love,
Sarah
~Hey, God...thanks for remaining so close to me even when I tend to put distance between us. I want to build my relationship with you. I want my thoughts to be Your thoughts. I want to see what You see. I want to feel Your heart beat. Thank you so much for placing Nancy and Dan in my life. I pray that You will use me to be instrumental in someone else's life, just as they have been instrumental in mine. I love You and can't wait to hear from You.

What's Up
Sorry I've been slackin' lately on my bloggin'! I've just been taking some time to do some searching lately instead of busying myself with technological toys. :) We've been attending revival each night, and it has been wonderful, let me tell ya.
Um, other than that, not too much happenin' other than a million birthdays, tornadoes, and migraines. :) Oh, and I got fired yesterday from the census! lol...(that's a sarcastic "lol" in case you couldn't tell)...apparently I should have gone to work puking and peeing my pants on the trainer! Oh, well...God must have a change of events rolling around the corner.
Big Love,
Sarah
