Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. -Isaiah 60:3

Old and New Kitchen (start from the bottom & go up)

We are done!!! well, we still have some trimming left, but other than that, we are done!!! There is still a few things I would LOVE to get done, but its going to cost some moolah and we are tight from just doing all that. I would love to put in a new bay window, some track lighting, and a stove top microwave, so I can get that one off of our counter so we can have more space. Also, I loaded the pictures backwards and honestly, I'm tired and about to go to bed and don't want to fix it, lol. My kitchen was dirty in the before pictures, because I actually already started to redo the kitchen. My mom loved the basket wallpaper....I remember when she picked it out and I told her I didn't like it. She didn't care because it wasn't my house, lol. But I was kid and didn't care eitther. This is the last room that my mom did that I haven't done yet. My mom did do our big bathroom, and I have some of the decorations up still. I think the big bathroom is going to be the next room. I already re-did the floor in there, but it does need new paint and new curtains and new fixtures. I also told my grandpa that I will redo his room. But he has some furniture in there, that is like impossible to remove and move around. I would love to rip up the carpet and paint it. My grandpa likes his old furniture, so I wont touch that. We don't have the most nicest, or fanciest house, but I'm thankful to have a house and that I can redo. God is good to us!!! Maybe now that we are getting all this out of the way, we can get pregnant and have a healthy baby, pregnancy and delivery. :)

Valentines Day

I uploaded some pics and there were Valentines Day pictures on there, so I'm going to share them. Not to many and not very good ones, but this is what I do....I blog. lol. I'm sitting here at this moment thinking, what we did. I cant remember. Is that sad? Maybe its because its late. All I remember is these cards....oh wait....this is the time that we went and started on our kitchen. We went out and ate the night before at the new Genghis grill and we picked out our new table and chairs. The next night which was actually Valentines Day, we just grabbed something to eat and went to church and I think thats it, lol.

Me, looking rough, lol

Tulips Mark got me....I love white and I love tulips!!!

See

Took 2 of them, and they are both negative. But I started my period today, well the 6th and I was hoping that I would of started on the 5th. For the past 3 months, I have been every 28 days and thats never happened for me before. So I was hoping that maybe my body was getting on track and hoping for that positive!!! When I had went to my OB, I told him about them every 28 days and he told me that, it was excellent that they were like that. Well Im thinking that because the stress and worry this week might of caused the delay. I know everyone wants to know this too, lol, but I havent had the cramps like I normally do either. Im talking about, bending over, 4 tylonal at a time, wanting to cry cramps. Who knows what the future brings!!

3 years of marriage

So Wednesday was our anniversary!!! Our 3rd year anniversary March 3, 2007!!! That was a wonderful day, a memorable day. 3 years later and we still dont have a family. But I hope and pray that this time next year, we will be a bigger family. I have pictures of our anniversary, very little, just a few, but I hope to put them up soon!! I am on the home computer, instead of my laptop, cause I have been taking my laptop to work this week.

I had to work, my grandpa was in the hospital and Mark was tired and doing chores, since all this went down. So after I got off work, we went and visited my grandpa and then went to eat at Pelican's, we had never been there and then we back to visit my grandpa and then went home and I went to bed early, lol. I was so tired. We are going to try and celebrate our anniversary spring break, which the 15th is our 9 year anniversary. I got this card at Mardel's which when I first read it, it explained everything how I felt....and every card that I read after that, didnt compare....here it is...

For my Husband- The love of my life

In the beginning of our

marriage we had no idea

what the years would

bring, or how clearly
we would see God's grace

in the love He's given to us.

He's been with us

every step of the way...

nurturing, growing,

and strengthening

this incredible

gift of

lifetime love.

It feels good to travel

trough life with my best friend--

a man I admire, respect, and

love more than anyone

else in the world.

I know good things are ahead of us

because God is with us....

and I look forward to

seeing His best with you.

Happy Anniversary!!

my week

It has been a hectic week, because the day before my grandpa went into the hospital. He went to Carl's Jr. with his friend and his friend said that he was eating and then all of a sudden he put the fork to his mouth like he was going to take a bite and he stopped and then he looked like he went into LaLa land. He said he looked like that for like 3 -5 minutes and he yelled for someone to call an ambulance. After the 3-5 minutes, he told me he went back to normal and that he walked to the ambulance. He still went in to get checked out and they admitted him. I told the whole day off Tuesday and stayed with him, cause I am the only person who knows everything about him, he dosent know or remember. My grandpa is my only parent I have left. He has been the "dad" in my life, since my dad wasnt in my life. He has always treated me like a grandchild though, so I got the best of both worlds. Since my mom died, he is someone who I am trying to hold onto. Its so hard to lose your parent, and I know that he is old, but I am hoping that he will get to be a grandparent to my little one, one day. He loves and adores babies, and you would be amazed how much they love him. They told me when I was little, that when I wouldnt stop crying, they would hand me to him, and I would stop. Also, my cousins baby, Cameron, my grandpas great grandson, when he held him, my cousin said, hes never seen Cameron smile so much before. To see the amazment on my cousins face as he watches our grandpa hold his baby smiling, because of our grandpa was amazing!!!

He is out of the hospital now, and they said the reason was because he has low potassium. I felt so bad, when the ER doctor told me that it was low. I had stopped getting his pills cause my grandpas Medicare Part B had this deductible and it wasnt paying for any of his prescriptions. They are so expensive and so I was going to wait and I didnt know that it was such a big deal. I was wrong!!! I have gotten all his meds right, now and Im getting alot of stuff done, that I have been slacking on. His heart was in excellent shape, praise the Lord and they checked his neck, Im sure for a stroke.

God is just amazing how he works in our lives. I pray for my grandpa everyday and I hope he stays with us for many more years!!!



I also have been going to bed early every night. I feel sorry for Mark, because he was off and I would just fall asleep. He kept telling me, that I was snoring. Usually if I snore, its because I am really tired, or sick. I have PMSing all week and it usually does it for me.....Thats right....Im not pregnant....I took 2 test. Not sure why I took the 2nd one. I guess I just want to see the 2 lines so bad that I think their always wrong. I went ahead and got me clomid, so we shall see what that will do. Even though Im going out of town for 3 days without my husband, lol. So I dont know what that is going to be like. I feel a peace in me about the baby thing. I still want one, but Im okay without one right now. Maybe its because I havent had any time to think about it latley, lol....who knows....
