Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's.
My Valentine is traveling...I talked to him 1st thing this morning ...this is how it went.
Me "I have something I need to ask you".

Joey "okay, what"

Me "Will you be my Valentine?"

Joey "yes, I will, I love you".

Me tear...."I love you too".

Since January 08....Joey has been on a new adventure with his job. He is traveling alot.We came home from our run-a-way/get-a-way Monday, from St. Augustine, FL where Joey had 2 deliveries (look at previous blog). Tuesday, Joey left to make a delivery to Kanas City, MO then returned to Huntsville, AL last night. To Cullman, AL this morning to pick up next load to Iowa. Joey should be home sometime Friday night. I miss him bunches...but, especially this time of year. Maybe this weekend Joey will take me out to eat and hopefully a movie. I am in a way looking forward to summer ...I guess it is bittersweet. In May, Andrea will graduate high school and hopefully we will be getting ready for college, I will also have the summer to travel with Joey. I am excited to go with him...I have always wanted to see the sights in our wonderful USA....even if I may not get to do everything...but, I can start lists of the places to go back to when we retire.LOL
Today, Andrea and I are going after school to look for a prom dress. I am excited and nervous. I pray for God to use this time to help heal our relationship. For me to show love and not frustation.
Happy Valentine's!!!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving: means so much to me....especially this year. Joey, Andrea and I are going camping again this year for Thanksgiving. We usually go after we leave his Mom's....but this year we are suppose to go on Wednesday and return on Sunday am. Joey teaches a Sunday School class and doesn't want to miss this. This means I will be cooking my very first Thanksgiving meal! I am excited and scared!! I will let you know how it turns out.

I am so thankful for all the friends who have prayed for us. Things are going so much better.
I am also thankful for family, my church and friends. Health, job, home. Thankful that I have a church family who will pray for us and encourage us in the good times and bad. Thankful that I have a bible ( not just one, but many). Thankful that I can worship freely. God has truly BLESSED me and my family....for this I am thankful. I could go on and on and on. The list is to great to name each one. Above all these things I am thankful that I serve a LIVING GOD who is my KING and I am HIS princess.

To all who read this whether you are far away or just around the corner....I WISH YOU A HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND I PRAY YOU ARE HEALTHY AND SAFE!

P.S. my words don't always come out like it sounds in my head. I wanted to post something profound about Thanksgiving and all I can do is think about what I am thankful for and how God has blessed my family. maybe it doesn't sound too goofy....
