It's been about a year

Today was great day with my girls.  Mike is in Dallas.  So it's just us girls.  I pray that my girls will always be close.  They have so much fun together!  Halle was very very sick last night so she missed her game.  Berkley made her basketball game.  She hustled and had a ball! 
Lord, I pray my girls grow to love you.  I pray they always turn to you when they hurt.  I pray they witness your presence early in life so they know you are real and ever present!  Lord, keep us safe, healthy and holy!!!

I read a quote from a movie today that seems simple but so very true!  "Either get busy living, or get busy dyin'." - Red. #top5 #shawshank
This is so true.  I sometimes feel I am so overwhelmed with anxiety that I am busy getting ready for the worst.  I should be LIVING!  And living to the fullest!
Lord, I pray with the deepest plea....do not let my girls have anxiety the way I do!  Let them not learn worry from me!  Please give them a heart of joy and laughter and thankfulness.

Lord, I pray that you heal my heart.  Please take away my anxiety over EVERYTHING.  I know it is a sin, yet I battle with it everyday.  Let me live every minute and remember the good!

....

regrets......

WOW!  What can I say since my last post, but..........SORRY!  I had no idea the feedback I would get after my moaning and groaning of my last post.  I was even asked to delete it.

On this blog I say things I cannot say out loud to just anyone.  Honestly, I am not ever sure anyone even reads this blog but me.  I hope no one will take my posts personal!  There is a good chance I will wake up the next morning and feel completely different.

I do admit the last post was written with an angry heart, a homesick heart.  It was not directed at anyONE person!......Well maybe a few people, but they can't read my blog so I am not worried about them. lol!

Before I heard any feedback from peers I felt overwhelmingly guilty!  I shouldn't have written an update while I was upset. I was also sick....and sick of being sick! So....to my Lubbock compadres......I AM SORRY!  I could delete that post but I am not going to!  I don't want to forget the feelings I had that night and why I had those feelings.

Since then, I have had a pretty great time!  I have made an effort to get to know my Lubbock friends better. 

Our waitress did a bad job of focusing!  But, here is the group at our April GNO!  We added a new friend to our group.  Scott!  Scott, welcome! We may have to change the "girl" in GNO. lol! A few of us closed the restaurant down. We laughed so hard!!!!  Oh how I needed the girl/adult conversations!!!

Very Funny! 

Girls, watcha talkin' bout?

Fajita and tequila....does the body good!

HA!

Had the neighbors and some friends over for a great Sat night.

Again, Halle a little freaked out by new people.  I gave Halle her blanker, milk and an itouch.  We shut the lid to the chest.  She stayed there till she was ready to meet and greet.  When she finally came out, she broke loose!  She danced for everyone.  So proud of my little Doodlebug!

Erin and Ed...enjoying the DELICIOUS meal.

this has Mike Bickle written all over it.  I told them to smile pretty and they both closed their eyes.

Kelly and Ed.....LOVE them!

Dinner was FANTASTIC!!  Everyone brought something and it was DELICIOUS!

Steak, baked potato, salad, jalapeno poppers, vege kabobs, rolls, and best chocolate dessert ever!

THANK YOU GUYS!!

Mike has been working with Halle Bear on her Soccer!  She is doing great!

I don't have a picture because I couldn't go, but my stud-muffin Berkley scored 2 goals at her last soccer game!

Had Cecily over for a picnic! Sweet Girls!!!

Halle and her hiding.....this is her fort where she watches movies.

 Berkley and her best friend!!

 and finally.....it wouldn't be normal if a little sickness wasn't floating around.  :-)

Halle had an ear infection.  :(

But we are all good today!!!
