miracles

You know there comes a point in your everyday life that you just aren't sure how you are going to pay this bill and make sure that you enough gas to get where you need to go and you tell yourself that the Lord will provide. He has never denied us any of our daily necessities and I have trusted in Him through out everything. Jeremy is a worrier...he always wonders how we are gonna make it for time to time especially with another baby on the way and the added expense of doctor bills. I have prayed for God to continue to provide for us and have had to lay it at His feet and just walk away from it. Today our prayers were answered. We received a check in the mail that we weren't expecting and we are now able to make sure that we make it just a little further then what we would have with just our paychecks. He is awesome...that is all I can say.

I do need to ask for prayers for my brother-in-law and his wife as they are going through a difficult time in their lives. I have truly learned the meaning of prayer these last few days and can only tell you that God does keep His promises by giving us our daily bread...whatever that may be. I hope that all of you have a great weekend. May God bless you always!!

Football...football...football

Man I am so excited about football. This is the time of year when I get to see my husband do what he loves to do...coach football. I am able to sit in the stands and just cheer him on along with the teams that he helps coach. It has been an exciting time already with new faces as well as some old ones and just getting back into the swing of things. I am greatful that I have other wives that can share the same passion as I do about what our husbands do as well as understand the long, lonely hours when our husbands are at work or on the road traveling. One added extra this year is that Tanner will be a ball boy so he gets to see up front exactly what is going on. I am so excited about all of it.

I took Tanner to meet his new teachers today and I was excited to learn that one of his teachers goes to church with us. Being connected even slightly always makes things better. Tanner was a little disappointed that some of his friends from last year are not on the same team but he knows that he will be able to see them through the course of the year. I hope that this will be a great year for all of us and that there are lots of new and exciting things just waiting for us.

I have to get ready to go to "Meet the Bulldogs" tonight, so I will leave everyone with blessings of a restful evening.

Bring on the rain

The rain is so wonderful and it was so needed...it makes you want to just curl up on the couch and not do a thing. I was glad to see that Tracy is doing well today and that hopefully she will be back at work soon. I am still having my headaches but they aren't as frequent as they have been. I am also glad that my husband has been at home the last few days to help out with the kids and some of the household duties. I know that starting next week there won't be much time to do anything but come in and fix supper and then get all of us to bed.

I am glad that we-coaches wives-are able to count on each other to help out when we need it even if we think we don't. I am glad that the Rosales family is enjoying the meals that we are able to provide. It is also great to have family that is close enough to be here when you need it. We will continue to pray for Tracy and the baby as well as the rest of the family.

I am getting excited about our upcoming season of football. I am also excited about our upcoming school year...you just never know what it will bring.

My sister-in-law will be going to the doctor this next week so we will know for sure when their baby is due...we can only hope that we are not delivering the same day...at least for the sake of my in-laws!!

Well it is about time to get off of here and start gathering up the family for bed. I hope that everyone has enjoyed the wonderful rain and that there is a restful night in store for all of us.

Lazy day

It has been so nice to be able to curl up on the couch and enjoy the cloudy day and just get some well needed rest. It seems like the last few days I haven't been able to sleep well whether it be restless sleep or the fact that there is a 2 year old child sleeping between me and my husband. Emily knows that something is different and she just isn't sure how to handle all of it. I hope that with school soon to start that a normal routine will help her adjust and be able to handle the new baby that is coming. I am truly looking forward to starting a new school year. It is always exciting to see kids wanting to learn. I am also ready for my school semester to start...I am so close to graduating and then transferring I just can't believe it! I know that it will all be worth getting through the next few semesters but it just seems that it is still so far away. I am truly blessed to be able to have the support of my family and friends that just keep cheering me on...thanks to all of you!! I hope that everyone is having a wonderful day and God bless!!

Good outcome

Well I went to the doctor this afternoon because my headaches are just not getting any better and the doctor decided that it was probably due to an increased amount of progesterone due to the pregnancy. He gave me some different medicine and told me only to use it when it was necessary. He also told me that at my next doctor's appointment he wanted to see if there was any changes in my headaches. Hopefully by then I won't be experiencing anymore but we will have to wait and see. I am glad that it wasn't anything really serious and hopefully everything will be better in the next two weeks. Jeremy was relieved to find out that it wasn't anything major and that it will probably pass. My blood pressure was good and he said that everything else looked really well-what a relief. I hope that everyone is having a great week...it is officially over for some and for others it is just a few days away...time to re-join the "working" class-haha...

Finally Done

Well I am finished with my summer session and I am so glad of that...I didn't do as well this session as I did the last but there was a lot going on and there was just a lot of reading and for some reason I just couldn't seem to get interested in it. Psychology and Government just are very interesting but at least I have finished and I am just two semesters away from graduating from South Plains College. It has been such a crazy summer and I am really excited that I am finally done. I hope that this next semester will be just as smooth as these summer sessions have been. It has been a long day and I am really tired. Here lately I have been getting more headaches and I am really concerned since I am taking Tylenol almost daily. I know that tylenol is safe to take during pregnancy but I am a little weary about taking it daily. I will probably be calling the doctor's office tomorrow and see what he can do to help out with these headaches. I hope that everyone is having a wonderful evening. God Bless!!

getting back into the swing

Well we are slowly trying to get back into the routine of getting up early and going to bed early and all of that good stuff...I have truly enjoyed this summer and not really having to worry about much of anything. I am glad that it will soon be coming to an end so that my family and I will be able to get back on track and actually have some type of normalcy-if that is even a word. Jeremy is now officially a working man and he is really having a hard time dealing with it...he didn't want to get up this morning and then he decided that everyone else in the house needed to get up with him...it wasn't a problem for me but the children on the other hand didn't see it the same way. I hope that everyone is having a great time and that you are making the most of the last days of summer...

What a day...

Well I had my first doctor's appointment today and everything seems to be going ok. The doctor did do a sono and I was able to see the little blob and also hear the heart beat...makes me feel great to be able to hear that. Jeremy got home late this evening and to be honest I wish that he would go away and come back in a better mood. I understand that he is probably tired but all he has done is griped since he got here and it isn't making life easier right now. Emily was glad to see her daddy but you can tell that she isn't real sure how to act because she wants him to do stuff with her and he just gets frustrated. I hope that tomorrow will be a better day after he gets to sleep in his own bed tonight. Well I better try to get Emily settled down for the night and off to bed. Hope that everyone is doing well...just a few more days until we all head back to the grindstone.

Oh my goodness...

Well today is the first day that I have experienced any type of sickness and let me just say that I hope that that will be the last of it. I am still so very tired and no matter how much sleep I get I just can't seem to get enough. Emily is beginning to act really clingy and it is so hard to leave her at daycare crying for me. I know that once school starts back up things will go a lot smoother when I drop her off. Jeremy will be home tomorrow and Tanner will be home on Friday and I will be glad to get some type of routine started before school. My second summer session is coming to an end and I am so glad of that. Pyschology and Golf wasn't so bad but my Government class was a slight killer and I hope that I pull a "C". I better go and see where my daughter is and what she is doing. I hope that everyone is having a great week.

Packing

Well tomorrow Jeremy and a few other coaches are leaving to head to San Antonio for the annual Texas Coaches Association coaching clinic. In other words there will be a whole bunch of coaches in San Antonio having just a grand old time. While he is gone I will be here with Emily just hanging out and trying to get things ready for the beginning of school. We went at picked up all of Tanner's school supplies earlier in the week and now I have just got to go through and put his name on everything. He will be home on Friday and I am glad of that. It seems like he has been gone more this summer then in years past. I am scheduled to go to the doctor on Wednesday to get all of my prenatal stuff taken care of. We are getting excited about everything and we are hoping that we don't have any problems this time. I only have a few more days left in this second summer session and I am really looking forward to a break before the fall semester starts. I hope that everyone is doing well and having a great time. Enjoy this what is left of our summer days and God Bless!!

Craziness!!

I must say that it has been a crazy few days!! First of all I find out that I am pregnant and then yesterday my brother-in-law calls and says that they are expecting as well...I am so happy for them and the whole crazy part about this is that we are due just 3 days apart!! Talk about some perfect timing. I am really excited for them, they have been wanting a baby for a while. I hope that everything goes well for them and that Julie doesn't have any problems. I am excited that our family is growing so fast...I hope that everyone is doing well and that your summer has been great.

The wonders of God!!

It has been such a crazy few days...I have been trying really hard to keep caught up on my second summer session. Jeremy is getting ready to go to San Antonio for coaching school. Yesterday Jeremy and I found out a bit of surprising news...we are expecting another little one and let me just say it was a bit of a shock. We haven't gone to the doctor yet but we have taken enough home tests to know that it isn't something that I ate...haha!! We had talked about having another baby but we were planning for at least a year from now but God has His timing and I don't question it...I accept it and go on. We told Tanner today and he was slightly confused but then was a little excited...he would like a brother, not another sister he says that one sister is enough. All that I want is a healthy baby. I sympathize with Tracy as far as morning sickness because I have experienced some of it starting this morning. I hope that everyone is having a great summer and can't believe that school is just around the corner!! I will keep everyone updated as we learn more!!

Counting down the days

I can't believe that in just a month we will be back into the swing of things...this summer has gone by rather quickly. Tanner is back at his dad's for the last summer visit and then he will be home. Emily is just growing by leaps and bonds and is just talking up a storm. I am glad that I have been able to spend more time with her this summer and really watched her grow. We have started doing little things around the house such as painting a couple of the rooms and talking about painting the trim around the outside of the house. Seems a little crazy to be doing some of this stuff but it has given the house a fresh look. Well it is quite late and I might better get off to bed...Emily doesn't sleep as I would like for her to these days!! God bless and everyone have a great night!

Just another Monday

I am sitting here listening to my son and my husband playing MLB on the PS2...Tanner has been gone for a few days seeing his grandparents and now they are enjoying some "male bonding" time or so they say. I am glad that they are able to have some good time together before Tanner leaves again for his last summer visit with his dad and step-mom. Tomorrow starts my 2nd summer session and I am looking forward to getting it started and done with. Emily is trying to go to sleep but all I hear is some giggling coming from her room and I am wondering just what she is doing. I am so greatful for my husband...while I am working my parttime job he does some of the housework and some of the laundry so that I don't have to try to do it all on my days off...it has been really nice knowing that he is here to help out. I guess that I better go and try to get Emily down for the night.

4th of July

I hope that everyone had a great 4th of July...My brother-in-law and his wife came over and we cooked out on the grill and then they decided that they needed to take Emily with them for the weekend. Tanner is at his grandparents and will be home tomorrow and then he is off one more time to see his dad before we get ready to start school again. I start my second summer session on Tuesday and I am really ready to get the next two semesters over with and then I will be able to focus on my bachelor's degree. I can't believe that it is already July, time has gone by rather quickly...I hope that everyone is having a great summer break.

One Down...One to Go!!

Well I finished my first summer session and pulled a 4.0...man it was just a little tough!! I have a week off and then it is back into the full swing of things with the second summer session. Other than that, we haven't done a whole lot of anything since we got back from coaches outreach. We are starting to fix up the house and do odd things to do such as painting the trim outside...replacing the dishwasher and probably going to paint the bathrooms before we have to start school. Tanner will be leaving next Friday for his last summer visit with his dad...it is always hard when he leaves but I am glad that he can spend time with his dad and step-mom and two younger brothers. I hope that everyone has a wonderful 4th of July!!

Life...

I know that it has been a while and let me just say there is good reason for it...I have been so busy either working at my part time job or doing homework. It is so crazy that I seem to have less time right now then when we are in school. I am so glad to hear that Tracy and Richard had such a great time at Coaches Outreach and then being kept up to date about how things are going with Nate at the Talent Expo. I hope that everything goes well for him and that he gets to follow his dream!! Tanner is going to be staying with his grandparents this week and then next Friday-one week from 4th of July-he will be headed back to his dad's for three weeks...it is unbelieveable that this summer is going by so quickly. I have enjoyed being at home and having good times with my kids and husband. We decided that we were going to move Tanner into the front room in our house and move the office to the back part of the house but let me just say that although it sounds rather simple-it has not been-I am hoping that we can get all of it finished before Tuesday so that I can really focus on finals for the first summer session. Well it is about time to get off of this thing and get ready for bed. God Bless!!

More Pictures

This is the resort that we stayed at for Coaches Outreach...

We were looking around the resort and walked up on a bunch of deer...they never did flee from us they looked at us and just kept eating. It was awesome as well as beautiful!!

This last one is of a deer coming out of one of the driveways of a house just behind the resort...

An Amazing Weekend

Well, I must say that I am a little sad to be home but I am also glad to see my kiddo...Tanner will be home on Friday and I am looking forward to that as well. This past weekend was just amazing. Our speaker just knew how to put it into words that we all could understand and be able to apply these things to our life. Jeremy and I have decided to try to apply some of theses things to our life and allow God to truly work in our marriage. I keep thinking about the song: "Trust and Obey"...that song has a lot of meaning to it and we have to learn to just do as it says. It may seem easy now but there will come a time when it won't be and that is when we must truly learn to let God take control. We met some really great couples within our small group that in some awesome way knew what we were going through...it was nice to see Steven and Carrie Shipley and see how the kids are growing so fast. There was another couple that lives in Garden City but his parents live here in Plainview and her parents live in Lubbock. It is wonderful to see God working in our lives. I hope that Richard and Tracy as well as Shay and Brandi will get just as much if not more out of their marriage conference this weekend...I am praying for you even now. May God continue to bless each of you.

We Made It...

After a grooling afternoon being stuck in Austin traffic we finally made it to the resort. It got a little tense as Jeremy and I were tryin to get here so that we could begin refocusing but we are doing just fine. The speaker is Justin Beadles-he's awesome-the most important thing that I took out of our first session last night was that we must fight to have a great marriage. Most of his text came out of the 13th chapter of Numbers...it really does make sense. God has given us a great marriage but in order to keep it that way we must fight for it. Love being here just praising God and knowing that there is a lot that He has in store for us!!
