God is Amazing

I am so happy to report that my cousin is out of the hospital and doing better. She has some follow-up to do, but is stable. God is an amazing healer. I am so thankful for her life and the person that she is. My thoughts and prayer are with her. What a miracle!!!

Just Found OUt

About an hour and a half ago, I found out that my cousin is dying.  What a surreal moment!!  As so many thoughts run through my head, I am flooded by childhood memories with her, her brother and my sister.  We had so many fun times together.  It definitely opens my eyes more to just how precious life really is and how each day  really is a gift from God.  It is sad to me that this is how I have to re-discover this fact.  My heart hurts deeply for her and her family, my aunt and uncle right now.  I cannot fathom what they are feelings and going through in these last several hours.  It boggles my mind to try and think about it.  It is amazing how that pain seems to take my breathe away.  This cannot be happening.  She is so young and beautiful.

A New Week

On our way to the Queen Mary, we stopped to have dinner with my sister, brother-in-law and my niece and nephew.  We had a blast.  It was great to see them and spend a little time with them.

Simon and I had a great time at his friend Mark's wedding.  It was a great day.  One thing that I am so grateful for is my husband.  He is an amazing man.  There are many reasons why I love him. He is my best friend.  We had a very nice time with Simon's family.  It was a wonderful weekend which made it very difficult to start a work week.  But here we go!!!

Today

Today I have to work for part of the day and then Simon and I are headed off to the Queen Mary. One of his friends is getting married tomorrow so we decided to stay the night. I am looking forward to this evening. We seem to have a little stress with our house closing and so this should be a great distraction. It will also (I think) give Simon some great photo opportunities. He is really enjoying photography. So I am sure we will have a great time.

My Niece and Nephew

Today, my dad received a picture of my niece and nephew for Father's Day.  It was one of the most precious pictures I have ever seen.  I am not bias or anything.  My niece looks like such a little girl and my nephew, well... he just looks like he is about to get into something.  They both are so very important to me.  I love them with all my heart.  Both of them are pumpkins.

This Weekend

Simon and I are going to go to a wedding for one of his friends from HS on the Queen Mary.  It should be a good time, except it is on Father's Day.  That is a real bummer.  I am sure that it will all work out as his parents are going to the wedding.  So we can spend Father's Day morning with his dad at the wedding and the evening with my dad.  So I think we should be able to celebrate with them both.

Just Waiting

Simon and I are still waiting for our new house to close.  It has been a week and a day since we were supposed to close and we are anxious.   I think that Simon would already be in the house if it weren't for me.  Anyways, we are very excited and cannot wait to put our belongings back up. One thing that this process has continually reminded me of though is that God takes complete care of us and my parents ROCK!!!!!  I think that I  have the best parents ever.  I am so thankful for them everyday!!!

I Finally Gave Into the Fun

After several friends and then my husband started a blog, I decided to join in the fun.  I have enjoyed this process.  I now know what they have been talking about and to them I am grateful for the idea.  I cannot wait to see how all of this goes.
