He Will Give You Help

I saw this on Monday and just couldn't stop thinking of my ten year old Nephew Cameron. He lost his Best Friend ~his Father~ Sunday night due to a motorcycle accident in MT.   My heart hurts for him, but I want him to know that while you are faced with great pain and loss, God will give you help. I know our earthly trials are so hard at times, but there will never be a time that the Lords tender mercy won't mend a broken heart.  He knows of our burdens, pains and broken hearts..  He understands us more than anyone here on this earth.  He blessed your life with an amazing Mother.  She will be there for you always.  I know that there is life after we leave this earth.  You will one day be able to put your arms around your Dad and hug him again.  He will always love you Cam!

WARNING ~I am just a little stressed out~

Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!   I started my college semester a few weeks ago asking myself the question, what college major do I choose?  I made the decision to choose Business Administration as my major.  Well, that's a great choice, except this caused me to drop the classes I was taking that were teach help classes and replace them with business classes. Let me just tell you *NEVER EVER change classes two or more weeks into the semester.  I thought to myself, no big deal,  I can just play catch up (right)?  I was dead WRONG!  After attending just a few classes, I have had to take the first exam's for each class.  Talk about STRESS!  I did HORRIBLE! Now I have to work twice as hard throughout the semester, just to get my grades up.  Melt down valley is where I am right now.  Just to tell you a little bit about myself,  I can't handle failure.  Not only can I not handle it, but I need poor Owen to not want to leave me, because I turn into a CRAZY woman.  I will admit that if I see a grade less then an A I freak out-if I get less then a B, I cry.  I have cried more within the last two weeks then I have tears for.  To add on the stress, I have been trying to be mom, college student, employee, accountant, house keeper and so on.  I think by the time I get through this semester, I am going to either lose all my hair, get really fat, or age fast.  I wish stress would help me lose weight, but with my thyroid disease that will NEVER happen. (DANG IT)  So to keep this short and sweet, I ask for lots of prayers.  I feel like the only way I can make it this semester, is through the help of the Lord.  This is one of the times I will beg for him to to carry me through my hard trials and lighten the load of stress I feel I'm under.  Owen, I am so thankful you are here for me.  Thank you for giving me a shoulder to cry on, your wonderful hugs, unconditional love and most of all~thank you for not putting me in the nuthouse.

Our First Day Of School

3rd Grade

5th Grade

8th Grade (Middle School)

Sophomore (High School)

Our first day of school is always CRAZY, but we seem to make it through the day...  This is one of the only days throughout the whole school year the kids are all excited to go to school.  That fades away way too fast!  We have Mitchell in high school already.  Time flies by so fast, that I need to really cherish the time we have left with the kids at home.  Noah is in the Middle school, and I really can't wait to get him out of that school and into High school.  Seth and Jiselle are in Elementary school, which this will be Seth's last year in that school, before he goes into ACYI...  CRAZY I KNOW!  Trust me, I am not looking forward to next year when I will have all four kids in four different schools...    ~HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL 2012~
