Prom 2008

Silly picture of the four of them. Holden, Ashley,Sydney and Jackson. They had a great time.
Sydney and Ashley have been friends since forever. They both look beautiful.
Sydney invited Jackson to go to prom with her. He is a very good friend from church. He is also a big Bama fan and that doesn't hurt!!

I Ain't No City Girl!

I hate going to functions with my husband. Not because I don't like him, I actually adore him, but because there are Doctors, Doctors wives, Researchers, Researchers Wives, Administration, Administrations Wives. You get the picture! I just don't feel like I fit in. Not that they dress any better than me or that they do anything or say anything to make me feel uncomfortable in fact it is the exact opposite they go out of their way to make me feel welcome. I only go every other year because I always make up an excuse as to why I can't go like Sena needs help with a project or Selby hurt her toe and she needs her mom, you know really good excuses.
Well something happened tonight that I will never forget and I may never show my face again! When I walked in I was greeted by a few of Steve's co-workers they were all very nice and then we walked into a big room where the table were set up. The wine bar was in my view! I noticed a photographer standing by the wall, as we walked by she asked if she could take our picture. Steve had already mention how much taller I was than him with my heels on. So what do I do! Oh my gosh I can not believe I am even sharing this! Now remember we are in the big room, at the Country Club, with hundreds of people. As I am speaking to the photographer my mind is saying don't do it but I couldn't stop. I say "I should take off my shoes because I am taller than my husband" and then I just took of my shoes in front of everyone. As soon as I did it the connectors in my brain lit up. I could she this neon light flashing "You don't get out much do you". Needless to say, I will not be attending any functions any time soon!

Sorry seems to be the hardest word

I hate saying I'm sorry! Today I overreacted to a situation and now I have to fix it,ugh! I want to say that i have to fix it because my 12 year old witnessed it, but i think its because my Father witnessed it that I really have to grovel. I've already apologized to Sena and my Father in Heaven. Isn't that enough? I want to make lots of excuses as to why I acted the way I did, but truly the only reason is lack of self control. Haven't I prayed for that? Haven't I studied the fruits of the spirit? Don't I know that my actions speak louder than my words? The answer is yes to all of these things.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and SELF- CONTROL. Galatians 5:22
Father, I am trying, and I will ask for forgiveness. Please, if it is your will let my apology reach a forgiving heart.
