Coffee Update!

Yeah...I am having a morning cup o joe...and thinking..GEEZ!!! I haven't even had any time to sit and write about anything lately!! The Holidays....birthdays.....getting the shop together...its been quite busy around here!

Sooo..I am going to give a quick update..

Lets start with the family....I am finally feeling sane! The winter months have taken quite a toll on me..and I am finally feeling like myself again. I am always doing hair! It what I love. I am also watching my Sister ..Skye's two girls during the day! It has been crazy! But also fun to be with my nieces!

Josh is a working fool! Whenever it snows he is out in it..plowing. He put in 62 hrs in three days!! And that was the first three days! I am glad we are having a no snow break! I actually get to see my hubby!

Bodhi is being three years old! He is FULL of energy!! God grant me patience!! I love his imagination and his hunger for learning new things! This kid is amazingly smart! I'm not just saying that because he is mine either! He can put together 100 piece puzzles! He knows his alphabet. He can write his name ..and many other words! He can count to twenty!! He is learning his states right now! He loves to tell people he lives in Spokane Washington..and his Bethany and Dave live in Tennessee!!He got a new skateboard for Christmas...that's all he wanted!! And he is all over the house!! Doing very well tooo! With all that said, I sometimes forget he is only Three years old!! So when he does throw a temper...I can be quick to forget...yeah he is only three!

Memphis!!! He just turned one year old!!! This year has flown by! He is pulling himself up and walking around everything! He loves stuffed animals! This kid is a lover! Anything he can hug...he loves! He can say words too...He says Brother...Mama...Dad....Dog....and star bear. I love it when he says that..it is his favorite stuffed animal!

We also have my sister Krystle (Sistal) living with us at the moment...her and her daughter Izzy.

I know she wants to get on her feet and have her own place...but I am so selfish! I just love having all this time with her and Izzy! Memphis and Izzy play together for hours! They are bestest friends! And Sistal and I are totally engrossed in the Twilight Saga...we will sit down at night and read together all night long!! Its so addicting!

Josh and I are almost completed with the "shop" too! I have a name... Selah Hair Studio.

We have the bathroom flooring to lay down and hook up the necessities of a bathroom :) And then I wait to have the state come and check it out to make it official!! I cant wait! It has taken so much time and work..Especially by my hubby ..who comes home from a long day of work...to work some more! And I owe everyone who has helped us along the way a HUGE Thank You!!

OK...OK... This has been a little more than I thought I would write...but I got it out of my system! lol

Love you all..and I cant wait to see where this new year takes us!!! Muah*

Amazed!!

My sweet Holly had a beautiful baby girl today! Precious Naomi is 8lbs 3 oz 22 inches long! I am completely amazed at how strong my Holly is! She is just amazing!
I completely teared up...no I cried when I saw our friends holding their new child. They are parents and it is such an amazing blessing from God. I just cant explain what a beautiful gift babies are. Or how touched I am to be apart of this..apart of their lives!
You two are wonderful friends and I know you will be...NO you are amazing parents already!
God Bless you and your new and wonderful family!! We love you!

Questions

Soooo...The past few days I have been watching t.v.....talking with friends...reading news articles...and everywhere you look there is people in pain. Heartaches...death...overwhelming circumstances. Its everywhere! I begin to think if my friends...family..people I know are hurting this bad...who else is hurting right now? How many across the world? It hurts your brain!!!

When I think of these things..questions usually follow. Alot of the time its questions that I can answer..or questions which drive me to study and find answers. Some questions are so DUMB that I wonder why I cant just quit thinking about things sometimes.

Sooo....after I thought about all the pain and suffering in the world...it makes me wonder why an all knowing God would make this world. A question I am sure many have asked themselves. If God knows all.....Did he know Satan was to be? and did he know eve would eat from the tree and bring adam with her? If he knew....why create at all? Then is that where our free will comes into play? But at the same time...God knows what we are going to do right? Then how do we truly have free will at all?

See...this is where I stop and wonder why I think sooo much! I mean I grew up listening to sermons on all these things..and yet I still question. It makes me dig deeper..but you think I would quit it now. Like thinking about one person and what they are doing at the exact same time you are thinking about them??? That stuff keeps me up at night and drives me crazy!

Anyway...there is another one of my weird thoughts....I think my days are getting back to normal after all the things that went on the past few weeks. Thank you all for your prayers and support. We really appreciate all of you! Now I am off to see if I can sleep instead of think tonight!! lol

please pray

I have had an incredible last two days. There has been a situation on my side of the family that I would never have thought would have happened in a million years. I cant give details...but my heart breaks to watch my family go through things that I cant fix.

I don't even know where to turn...SCRATCH that...I do know where to turn...but have they all forgotten? And the family I grew up in..the loving christian home..that I thought I knew....is it gone?

I take on too much of everyone else's hurt and pain. I am emotionally exhausted.

I want to help all the time..and I know I cant. I know all things are in Gods hands. I forget it sometimes and try to do it myself.

Josh and I have soo much on our plate...with just our life ..our boys..financial things...new beginnings....job situations...and all these other situations with my family...I know everyone feels this way and has trials they go through and problems they face but I feel like super glue right now and I don't know if I can hold everything together.

I feel closer to God than I have in a long time...and is this crazy attack of EVERYTHING because of that? If it is.......then please pray for strength and wisdom on mine and Josh's part...because I don't see it ending anytime soon..and God if this is something we are meant to be witness to...to go through...then bring us together as a couple to march head on into whatever and wherever you need us to go.

I say that and I am crying my eyes out. How can I feel so strong..yet so frail at the same time. Why do I have this need to feel for other people.

I feel strange writing down everything I am thinking. It is a release in some way I guess. I am just stuck. I guess I am just asking for prayer. Something I don't like to do. I don't like to ask for anything. I can do it myself ya know :)

Please pray for my family. Please pray that Josh and I will have wisdom and have the right things to say to the right people..when and if necessary. I hope just us as an example of who we are can say more than words. Love.

Thanks for letting me write out my tears. I'm sorry to have been so real...

yeah...uh

I haven't blogged in a couple days and all I can say right now..well...is.... I LOVE BURRITOS AND MEXICAN FOOD! It is my favorite!! and I am eating a burrito right now..thinking to myself..I wish I had some HOTTER than hot salsa right now!! That's all I'm thinking about right now. :)
