An ahhh moment
Yesterday Kennedy had four hours of very good sleep. She breathed quietly and with out much effort, she didn't cough so hard she couldn't really sleep and she didn't flip around the bed all afternoon. I had to take a picture of this moment, because moments like this have been rare the past few months. It seems as spring approached her allergy and breathing issues have just gotten worse. I have really struggled this week seeing how miserable she is, but I see a change in the future. Kennedy's surgery is this Thursday. Please lift her up to the Lord. I pray this surgery will be the change she needs to begin to feel better and not always have to feel "bad" as she puts it. Thank you so much for the prayers you have already sent up for her. If you could also pray for me, pray that I am able to keep my patience through the coming weeks and be a loving mom to her. Pray that I don't get worn down and that God will hold me up. Thanks so so much.
Today we took Kennedy out for Imo's pizza and to see Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D. I have to say I thought Monsters vs. Aliens was pretty good. I am a Reese Whiterspoon fan and even as animation she did not disappoint. The story had some really good lessons about how it doesn't matter what you look like, it's who you are and sticking with your friends even till the end. Two lessons Kennedy prob didn't pick up on but that's okay. It was very funny during the film she turned to us and said "This is turning out to be pretty good." I guess she didn't have high expectations!!!
Well I hope you all are out enjoying your weekend. TTFN.
Thankful Thursday
For today's Thankful Thursday I have plenty to be thankful for (as always) I was reading in my devotional today about how we can choose happiness and that is what God wants us to have, he wants us to be happy in all circumstances and sent His Son that we may "live abundantly". That got me thinking about how I do live in abundance. I have an abundance, and yet sometimes I focus so much on what is going wrong, I am refusing to let God's abundance even in. I definatly don't want to live that way! So now for a list of my abundance...I am so thankful to Him for it....
1. I am so thankful that we are able to afford the insurance we need. My family gets the medical care we need. With Kennedy facing surgery I just couldn't be more aware of what a blessing it is that we have health insurance.
2. I am grateful for my daughters teachers at school. They are constantly going above and beyond. They are loving and kind. They truly care about Kennedy and that is awesome!!!!
3. I am grateful for the laughter we have in our lives. I am blessed that I have a family to laugh with. Kennedy is full of jokes and laughter, and Jeremy and I are blessed with inside jokes and funny moments we can share.
4. I am grateful my niece Grace is doing awesome with her gluten free diet. She is finding lots of things she likes and that couldn't be more fantastic.
5. I couldn't be more grateful for my Savior. Honestly I am pretty despicable and wretched, but he blesses me with Grace. I fail time and time again. I am not the perfect wife, mom, or friend-but His Grace is always there.
So what are you thankful for today?

D - Dad's Name: Eric

My darling hubby is soooo sweet!
My adorable husband is so sweet to me. I had been complaining, and suggesting that I really needed some earrings as I had gotten mine pierced recently, and the other night we were out at Kohls and I wanted to buy some earrings..he really fought me on the issue. The ones I wanted were $10, but he just was like NO, they are ugly I don't like them. I ended up buying different ones that were circle not square (i wore square ones in our wedding and I let a friend borrow them and they were lost..so I wanted square to replace them) Anyway yesterday I went to the mail box and there was a package for me!!! I opened it quickly and it was these lovely earrings for me. I just love them. I think it was so sweet of him to give me the surprise...Thanks babe!!!
