Valentines Day

• ok ... so yeah it is a Hallmark overblown ..... no wait ... it is Americanized holiday, yeah I'm sure Hallmark has made a killing on selling cards and what not, but I believe America has overblown this holiday. The cards, the flowers, the candy, the whatever it is you do to say "I love you" rather than just saying it yourself...... ok, yeah I bought my wife, the love of my life, flowers and some chocolate candy. But, I think what is most important and what we fail in doing is saying I love you. Ok, saying it without a card on one day of the year... saying it from your heart, saying it to your little daughter so that she knows, what a father should be like, saying it to a friend that they will know that you love them too! this is what we are suppose to do..... this is what we were called to do! ...... it is not that we go into a store, to buy our love, then walk out of there and get upset with the person trying to run over you, that is going in to do the same thing you just did ......... so how do we change this world that we live in? how do we show love?

random thoughts

I don't know why I feel the need to blog, and I really don't blog that often. Tonight I sitting here waiting for my little one to go to sleep and I have random thoughts going through this head of mine (and that's a lot!).
So what do I say?
...talk about my life?
talk about my family?
....talk about my God?
talk about the past year and what was really exciting!
..... talk about random thoughts that go through this head?........

well right now as I'm waiting for a little one to go to sleep, she is listening to her Christian Hits. Now this is a love of mine because no matter what kind of mood I'm in, I get to hang out with her and hear her sing praises to our God. This just melts my heart, this is why I love to go to Discovery Village for a good portion of the year every Sunday. I get to experience kids and their walk with God. Some Sundays, I get this connection with a kid, that will let them know how awesome our God really is. Now don't forget that I get to act really goofy sometimes, have fun with the my awesomeness brother in law, but I sometimes make that connection, that a kid will know that no matter who you are, or how you act, our God will love you know matter what.
.... I guess what I'm saying is... that kind of love tonight ..... that my daughter is worshipping a God ....... a God that will love her no matter what...... no matter if she fails in life...... no matter if she ever will be failed by someone else ...... and no matter what anyone else can say ..... that is an awesome love!.... a love that does not fail!

why do I have random thoughts? It is probably the life that surrounds me, from my family to co workers, to the awesomeness group that I get to meet with every Sunday.

Family

Life is so awesome and when you add another member to your own family it is really awesome. It amazes me how awesome God is and how much He loves us. I know I don't deserve anything but our family is truly blessed with another beautiful child.

Maybe it is just me but this kid is adorable!


Well both of them are adorable!

PREPARATIONS part II

......so the time is near and do I feel totally prepared? no .... but that is just me. This weekend was great! Time to get stuff done, time to relax, and a time to worry. I think the worry part is only going to increase until we have the baby. BUT, I can not wait! I've been told that you will love the new baby just as much as the first, do I believe that? yeah, but the one I have now is such an angel. She has blessed us in so many ways and I love her so much! So the new baby will have a great sister! At least we hope...... and time will tell!

So we purchased our first computer from my brother / sister in-law. (A lap top too!) and I am really excited because now we something to take into the hospital for the delivery!

and maybe, just maybe I'll be able to post a little more! .... and maybe not with a new baby too! we'll see!

PREPARATIONS

time is on my side.... yes it is......
well I'm no Rolling Stone! but, with everything coming up...(new baby)... I feel like everything is good! and that my friends is totally weird for some reason. I feel like I should be feeling some other way than I am right now or maybe even in a panic, but I'm not. For some reason it just has not "hit me" yet.

....... to be continued!
(maybe ... and maybe not, you all know how I post!)
