Day 7 of Truth Challenge

Day 07 → Someone who has made your life worth living for.

Well dang. This is an EASY one!!!  Of course Nathan and Ryan are the "someones" who make my life worth living for!  They are the two greatest things that has ever happened to me.  I wouldn't change a thing of my life if it meant they weren't going to be in it.  I made some mistakes but I know they were never a mistake and I am SO happy to have them as my children!  I wish the situation was different, but they are happy and I am happy for them.  I don't feel the need to type and type about this. If you've read some of the other days of my Truth Challenge you'll know how I feel about them.

Learning how to skip rocks

Thank you God for those boys!!!

Happy Birthday, Ryan!!!!

 Seven years ago today I was in the hospital being prepped for delivery of my 2nd baby.  I had to be there at 6am. No food, no drink after 12am.  Catheter in place by 7am.  Time to wait for the doctor to arrive.  A few mins before 8am they wheeled me to the surgery room and administered the epidural.  Wow! It kicked in quick!! A few mins later they were cutting me open.  At 8:10am Ryan was pulled out!  He weighed 8lbs 11oz, 20 inches long.  What a handsome boy he was! They wrapped him up, brought him to me and he tried to suck my cheek! LOL!  Such a sweet first kiss!!!  Seven years later he is still my sweet little boy with a sweet little kiss!

Short and simple....bury a child.  I don't even want to think about it. Enough said.

Day 5 of Truth Challenge

Day 05 → Something you hope to do in your life.

Oh! This sounds like a perfect topic to create a bucket list!!!!

1.  Skydive

2.  Dance in the Rain (with my husband) (not just playing or walking in the rain)

3.  Visit Ireland or Italy

4.  Vacation out of the U.S. (other than Ireland or Italy)...preferably a beach!!

5.  Buy my mother a Jeep

6.  Actually walk down the aisle with my Daddy in a wedding dress (renew vows with Joe)

7.  Go on a cruise

8.  Visit Disney World as a family

9.  Be debt free (including cars)

10. Ride in a hot air ballon

I'm sure along the way I have thought of other things I want to do. For now, this is all I can remember. I have a horrible memory!! LOL!

Day 4 of Truth Challenge

Day 04 → Something you have to forgive someone for.

Hmmm...I could write and write and write on this one. So many people have done things to hurt me.  Some little, some big, some astronomical.  But, I have in some form or fashion forgiven everyone who has hurt me, but I will never forget.

The one thing I haven't forgiven someone for is something I don't particularly want to discuss.  I know this is the truth challenge and I should tell the truth, but I can't.  I am not lying, just not divulging.  Just leave it at the fact that I have been affected for a long time because of it. I have chosen to rise above it and I will stay above it! That doesn't mean I forgive, but I have "accepted" it if you will.  I know that God will punish this person, if he hasn't already.  Maybe forgiveness was sought from God already. I can only hope so.  I just hope I never have to step foot in any place remotely close to that individual. I know God has a special place for me in Heaven and it's going to be NO WHERE near that individual if that person does make it to Heaven.

Don't get all worried and start asking questions because I won't answer them. Just know I am fine as I am and don't need to relive it.  Thanks for loving me as I am!!!
