Daniel and I had his brother Matthew and his girlfriend over for dinner and games tonight. We had lots of fun. What ever happen to getting together with friends and having a good clean night of fun. It seems like everyone our ages is out at clubs partying and being stupid. I would love to have a game night once a month. Where our friends could all hangout and have a good time. I have a plan for how it all should work. Each month a couple would host the game night and provide snacks and the game. We would rotate each month new house new game. I think it would be fun. But i think i might need a new set of friends. Because commitment is not their specialty. But wouldn't it be fun to laugh again, like you did when you were younger? I think game night could do that!
Have you ever taken your car in for one thing, just to find out that everything is wrong with it? I took my car in today to get a new key made. The very nice man said he would just check to make sure everything was running well. And what do you know $1400 later half my car doesn't work. Odd that it drives just fine. Daniel and i have just paid off our credit card just to put something else on it now. With the cost of this car running up up and away we could have bought i new car. Daniel works so hard everyday to take care of us, and for me to be able to stay home with Sienna. And it just makes me so mad to throw money at something over and over again. He was so wonderful to buy me the car i wanted, when i wanted it, and now i feel like a loser because it isn't running the was it should. And all this time he doesn't complain. He bought me the newer nicer car, while he drives a older car. When i know he would love to have a nice fast car for himself. Oh i just wish this silly car would stop taking our money. GRRRRRRRRR! Why can't things just work out the way they should. Cars can suck sometimes! Well at least it will be safer, i wouldn't want to take any chances now that i have Sienna in my car. Thanks for letting me vent.
UP DATE: I got my car back a whole week later. It drives well, like it did before. The brakes stop faster now. I guess i just hadn't noticed that the were slowly not working. The dealership gave us 10% off the finale bill. We saved a couple of hundred bucks. So now the bettle is back. And it better not give us anymore trouble!
How can you look in her eyes and not see pure love? I never thought i could love someone more than Daniel. But my heart is so full of love for Sienna i feel like i might brust! Sometimes i wonder if she really knows how much Daniel and i love her. It's silly to think about when she grows up. I just wonder if we will be friends or will she rebel against, will we become the enemy? I hope not. I just want her to know how deep our love it for her and how much her Hevenly Father loves her. I just took this picture and needed to write about her. I am so blessed to be given this angel for even just a moment.
Daniel and I celebrated our 7th Christmas together and Sienna's first. We have had 3 days of Christmas. We had one with Daniel's Grandmother, then Christmas Eve with my family, and last was Christmas with DAniel's parents. We were more than blessed by all of the gifts given to us and to Sienna. The most awesome one was a BBQ from Daniel's parents. We had , had a fire with our last one and melted it. Daniel loves to cook out, but there was no way we could afford a new one. Now Daniel can't wait to BBQ, I bet we will be eating from it sometime this week. It is so amazing what a year can do. When i think about where we were this time last year it just boggles my mind. We had just bought our condo and both of us were working hard at our jobs. I had no idea that i was pregnant with my beautiful Sienna, it would be another month before I would find out. Our lives were so filled with family, friends and ministry. But now that we have Sienna she has made us complete. Now i have the family i have always wanted. The Lord is so amazing, I never knew what a blessing children would be. I look forward to many Christmas's full of children and the joy i feel right now. Right now could be the most wonderful time of my life. Praise God for my wonderful husband, lovely daughter and all my family and friends.
On sunday night Daniel and i turned the youth room into a christmas wonderland. Well maybe not a wonderland but it looked pretty cool. We had 17 kids there. That's a lot for our small group. Almost all the kids brought friends. We had good food and a chocolate fountian. Everyone needs one of those. Daniel created a awesome slideshow of pictures of the kids doing fun stuff. I think everyone had a good time. I praise God for letting me work in this ministry.
My younger sister is moveing to New York. She is going to go to college to study art. She is amazing! You wouldn't beleive how talented she is. We haven't gotten along much in the past 10 years. But a part of me is really sad she is leaving. I am so happy she gets to pursue her dreams. I have three sisters, however Cameo and i are the only ones who have the same mother and father. For some reason resently that has become to mean a lot more than it used to.
It's not like we live close now. She has been living and working at a Christian camp about 100 miles away. Even when she lived in Idwilld, i new she was safe. I new there where so many people who loved her and would make sure she was safe. I worry about what will happen if she gets hurt or if she gets sick, who will be there. She is such a bright shineing star for God's glory, I know He will protect her. I just look forward to her coming home and maybe restarting our relationship. It's my pray that the Lord will look over her and I know as she delights herself in the Lord He will give her the desires of her heart. I just hope she really knows how much i love her!
I went to the doctor today because over the past month a small lump on my neck turned into a tennis ball size lump. Plus it has become hard to swallow and at times difficult to breath. The doctor didn't know what is was. I was sent to get blood test and make a appointment for a ultrasound. I go on Monday. I don't know how to feel. All of my life it has been one thing or another with my health. But this is a little scary. I thought the doctor would know what is was and would fix it. Isn't that what doctors are supposed to do? I am a bit scared, wouldn't you be? I just want to know what it is good, bad or other. So I can start making it go away. It's my prayer the Lord will have his hand in all this and his will will be done. It gets be thinking what if i wasn't here tommrow? Would i have done all the things i was put here on earth for? Would Sienn remember me? Would anyone notice if i wasn't here anymore? I guess for now i will breath in every smile and love every moment. If you read this please pray!
UPDATE!!! I have Thyroiditis. The doctor says we just need to wait and watch it. If it gets bigger then i need medication, and i need to watch my heart rate, becaue the thyroid can cause an eregular heart beat which would be bad. Thank you for your prayers!
What are some of your favorite holiday traditions?

My sister's ginger bread house party. This year was the 5th annual! About 30 or so people break up into teams and we have an hour to decorate our houses. We eat and decorate, it is so much fun. Everyone has a ball and my sister keeps all the houses to decorate her home for Christmas.
What is your pet peeve, the one thing which really drives you mad?
Submitted by Beki.
It drives me crazy when people are late. Why can't people just get to where they are going, at the time they agreed on? I feel when people are late they really don't care about what is happening and it's all about them. It's ok to be late to things every once in a while, but to be known for being late is just rude!
