Happy Birthday To ME!!

I am not boasting that I have turned the clock on another year, however I will say it's not as bad as I expected.

The girls have been doing great with school. We have had our moments, but for the most part that is all, moments. They realize we are on the down slope with school and are trying their best to keep their attitudes and emotions in check.

The girls worked so hard to make my day special and it certainly has been. I am officially a dog owner. That's right! I am now the proud owner of a Schnauzer. He is going to make a great addition to our family. I love that I do not have to feed him, take him for walks or even correct him for chewing my shoes. Those of you who haven't caught on yet. It is a Webkniz of my very own. Lovely bought it for me. Some of you may or may not know I love to play on Webkinz for Baby Girl to earn money for her. She is very capable of spending it, not necessarily earning it though. Lovely was so excited to get me my own pet. So cute!

Sporty bought me a Willow Tree Angel. It actually looks like me. My joy in her gift is that the angel is reading a "book". The significance is Sporty said she is reading her bible. Oh the joy that brings me. I am leaving my legacy! It is so important to me that my girls understand that GOD'S word is crucial to my life. I want them to desire a relationship with him, the way I do. GOD has blessed my life in so many ways and I want them to understand that they need to pursue a relationship with him daily. He wants to know how they are feeling, what they are struggling with and how much they love and need him. It is in their pursuit of this relationship that they will in turn realize how much God loves them. I feel that I am communicating that to them, but to see it come back in this way was a great blessing.

My point was not to give you all the list of gifts I received, but rather to share a little of my day. It has been a beautiful day and once again I have been reminded of how very much I am loved. THANK YOU!
