Life isn’t a destination, it’s a journey. We all come upon unexpected curves and turning points. Everything that happens to us shapes who we are becoming. And in the adventure of each day, we discover the important things in life and why they’re important.

Ladies night
So every once in a while (and by once in a while, I mean like 2 times a year, sadly!) I like to get together with all of my girlfriends and have a good time. Nothing crazy (most of us are married and mommies) but we deserve it! We always talk about all getting together and having a ladies night but can never set a date so earlier this month I just sent out a message and said, hey here it the date, come if you can! Most all of them live in and around the Houston area so we planned to go out for dinner and then drinks later that night. It was so much fun! Love hanging out with these ladies and it is so amazing that all of us have been friends for so long and stay in touch. Love them :)
But Logan had a great "Dada" weekend. He got to go to the movies to see Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2 and he stayed awake the entire movie! Sadly, my hubby needs to be better in the picture taking area. Not one photo! It was a much needed time away but I was so happy to be back home with my hubby and baby boy!

Best Friend
Last night we were putting Logan to bed after reading him a book. He looked up at Bryan and clearly said:
"Dada, best friend"
I looked at Bryan with the look of amazement. (and Bryan's eyes watered a little bit) I said:
"Is Daddy your best friend?" He said:
"Yea, Mama best friend too"
Ok I lost it...a little.
He is at such a sweet stage right now and the worst stage at the same time. He throws awful fits, but then says the sweetest things.
I told Bryan he better soak all this in, because we will blink and it will be 10 years from now and he will not think we are his best friends anymore. But right now, I will take it.
Logan, buddy, you showed me how to love more than I could ever imagine.
You're my best friend too.

Strong enough
I am not even sure where to start....
My Dad is the hardest working person I know, I get my drive from him. Our family is going through some hard times right now and we are in need of some prayers.
Let me back up.
August 2011 (on my birthday to be exact) my Dad calls me and tells me he got laid off from his job that he has worked for over 13 years. I cry. He tells me it will be alright and he will find something else. Months pass, and he does find something else. He works there a little while, gets laid off. He picks himself up and moves on. He takes a huge decrease in pay and starts another job. Gets laid off again. He does not give up. Then he lands a really great job, out of town. So he has to spend weeks away from my Mom and comes home some weekends. He has been working there just over a year. He is 60, he just needs to have that job for 5 more years or so, then he can start getting retirement.
At the end of last month, my Mom calls me and tells me that my Dad went to the doctor and was diagnosed with Stage 2 prostate cancer. Stage 2 is the beginning of cancer. He was going to either have to do radiation or have his prostate removed entirely. He had a few weeks to decide. He has his follow up appointment next week to decide what he wanted to do.
I was talking on the phone to my Mom last night. My Mom told me to hold on there was someone at the door (this was about 10pm). It was my Dad (he never comes home during the week). She gets back on the phone with me and said that is was Dad and that he got laid off.
I have so many questions.
WHY?
How much more can my family take?
How is he going to have his procedure done with NO insurance?
This means starting all over again. My Dad has been laid off 3 times in the last 2 years! It is so hard for him at his age to find a job. I wish I made enough money for both my parents not to work, but sadly that is not the case.
Please pray. Pray for the strength and understanding for my family right now, we need it so badly.
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not strong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough

Cause I'm broken
Down to nothing
But I'm still holding on to the one thing
You are God
and you are strong
When I am weak
Down to nothing
But I'm still holding on to the one thing
You are God
and you are strong
When I am weak
I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
And I don't have to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
I know I'm not strong enough to beThrough Christ who gives me strength
And I don't have to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not strong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
