Leslie is getting married in 5 days!

So we are pretty excited to have Aunt Leslie here. She came early to prep for her wedding coming up April 24th and to relax and visit with us. We love having her here if I haven’t told you before :) I am so happy for her, talk about an amazing love story she definitely has it! I am just so excited to see her walk down the aisle and become a Mrs. I love her so much and can’t wait! So we are taking this week and doing some last minute things, manicures and pedicures, waxing everything under the sun hahaha and just relaxing really enjoying each other’s company. What I love about Leslie, is that no matter what is going on I can always come to her with anything. She is always comforting and real with every situation. Our friendship has blossomed into something I could never imagine, she is definitely one person I can’t see myself living without. At the end of the day, she is my best friend and my sister and I am so blessed to have her in my life. I pray that she is a shining role model for my children. She is driven, smart, successful, fun, easygoing, loving, trustworthy and devoted. I could not have asked for a better sister in law, or better yet a best friend. Leslie you are amazing and we love you from the bottom of our hearts...You complete our family and am so excited that Nate is now a part of it! Love you Leslie!!!!

God is good! Shout it from the rooftops!

So I just have to start by saying God is so faithful! He is amazing, and I am so thankful for the tests He has put in our paths and the growth that we come out with is just unreal. God has blessed us with the Secret Clearance so Kurt keeps his job. The last 4 and a half months have been a growing process for Kurt and I to trust Him to approve it! We had our ups and downs, well I take that back, I had my ups and downs, and one day I broke down, cried and cried out of fear. God led me to Kurt, said talk to your husband of this and I will ease your fear. So I did, asked Kurt how he felt, his exact words were "I’m not worried at all. God already told me He took care of this." From that day on, I knew God was with us, I knew that I didn’t have to carry this load anymore! God had taken control and told us to trust Him and don’t look back and we did! And I am so thankful for where we are today from this experience. I am just so happy, happy and in love with my Lord :) I know a few blogs back I was talking about starting to pray before anger or actions to make sure that I was reacting the way God would have me react and let me tell you, He must love to her my voice ha-ha because He has changed my family as well! I see so many changes in my children, how they act, what they say to each other, what they say to me and how they treat us. I just love seeing all God’s work in my children it is just so precious to see their little hearts filled with so much love for Him. My favorite is when I ask Madison do you want to pray and she starts every prayer " I love Jesus" it just melts me and I am so thankful for her kind spirit. She is going to be an amazing woman because the love she emanates. I pray she never lose that soft innocent side and stays faithful. She is such an amazing daughter. Soooo on another note :) I made a nice sanctuary in our "backyard" (which is a porch off our apartment) It’s a peaceful area where I will be spending a lot of time! It’s so nice to sit out there and listen to the wind blow through the trees :) Definitely my new hang out spot :)

It is the little things in life  :) Good night All!
