Its Been A While...

Well it has been a while since I last blogged. The reason why is not because I have not had things exciting or dramatic go on maybe because I have been so tired to even think of words to type by the end of the day. With Steven being gone to Mexico, I am usually taking care and consumed by the boys all day. Even though they both are great and have great sleeping schedules, I usually finish up my "must do" list of things for that day or do a lot of research while I catch up on shows. Needless to say Steven just got back into town so here I am blogging.

Steven is gone a lot for work and I am here to handle our family responsibilities and take care of the boys more importantly. I really have been thinking a lot about just my past in general of living different places and having ups and DOWNS. I just feel like God maybe let us go through things in our life to prepare us for this place in our life. I don't think I would be able to handle Steven being gone from us ALL the time if I was not already use to a life similar to that. At those times I had no idea what I was doing and really questioning "how am I going to do this?" or maybe even "why?" I can see now & understand why God let those hard times come. God really helped me to be a stronger person from it all & learn things I would have never learned if I didn't have to struggle. I would have never have opened my eyes or humbled myself enough I do not think. I truly believe now that God can do so much work in you in your low times and maybe HE is just preparing you for something great too. God can really use your life even if you had no idea as an example. Maybe there are other women out there that could connect to my exact same situation. I can now testify that God is great and has used my hard & unthinkable situations for something beyond what I thought. There is no way I can explain why or why not but ultimately If i know God is in control then I can handle anything. There are tough times since Steven travels so much but my true test is how I handle it. I feel like where we are right now ( and STEVEN LOVES HIS JOB) is just the beginning and God has so much in store. God has placed on my heart that HE has begun a great work in me and I feel like there will be a special way He will use me. I have no idea what that may be but hopefully I can be patient and just WAIT and TRUST.

I just hope I do not get blinded by things and let it alter my potential. Thankfully I trust in someone that is so forgiving!!!!


Finally, what I was trying to get to from the beginning is WE ARE MOVING TO THE WOODLANDS http://www.thewoodlands.com/ Its northern Houston about 20 mins from the Galleria area where we live now. I am so in love with the Galleria but maybe not so much too raise a family without Steven here. The Woodlands seems so perfect. Its known as "the bubble" which means its one of a kind & security. Feeling safe is a top priority because I feel like I can not even live when I am always worried because I am the nurturer and PROTECTOR.We are really excited and I love the house. It was a lot to go through and figure out what & where was the best but I am so happy because its beautiful but its going to feel like home. I am just so excited Caden and Camden will have a backyard to play in finally. I better invest in some sunscreen right now because most of our days will be spent out there or at a park- http://www.thewoodlands.com/parks-pathways-lakes.htm

WE move into our house on Thursday. I packed up everything & we are ready to go besides cleaning Caden's beautiful sticker collection & art work on the walls and doors( yeah thats what happens when daddy babysits)
