44/365: Generations of Dance


This was my dance teacher when I was growing up, and now she is my daughter's dance teacher.  She is on the same dance team that I was on.

42/365: Made It!



Countless hours logged in the dance studio
Too many sore muscles to number
A week of grueling tryouts
You made it.  
You've been dreaming of being on this dance team since you were four and you're here!

41/365: The Little Dog Laughed



Hey Diddle Diddle, the cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED TO SEE SUCH SPORT
And the dish ran away with the spoon

No words need to be said about the cuteness factor here.
The boy played the little dog that laughed in his 1st grade show of BoPeep.

40/365: Digi Scrappin'


I've recently discovered digital scrapbooking and I have to admit that I love it.  I will continue to use the traditional method but creating pages with my digital program is so much fun!  Here is one of my 1st pages.

They fell asleep in the recliner.  Had to snap a pic.

Intentional Blogging Break

Intentional...that is the word that God has been placing in front of me quite a bit lately. I have to be intentional. Intentional with my time, with my activities, with my children, with my husband, with my life. I have filled my life up with blogging, facebook, watching television shows, and just staying busy. In the process I have neglected my relationship with Him and everyone else that matters. I have even neglected my health. I can't hope that my relationships with my children turn out OK in the end, I have to be intentional about working on them and that means being there and being available. I can't just wait for my marriage to become something that glorifies God, I have to be intentional about it. I can't just neglect my time with the Lord and expect that I can walk through my days feeling His presence close to me. I have to be intentional with my life.

I am stepping out on a new road of healing and healthiness (physically, emotionally and spiritually). I know I've been down a road similar to this one before but this is a new one, with new challenges and new things to explore. I have already taken a few steps. For now, there is little balance in my life which means that I am taking a blogging break. I love blogging but it will have to wait for a more balanced time in my life. I called my doctor yesterday to make an appointment to find out what is going on with my body. I am calling my therapist today so begin seeing her again. I am limiting my facebook time to 10 minutes, once a week and then only looking at posts of my family and my God family, everyone else has been deleted. I haven't watched a television show in over two weeks and God has adamantly shown me that there is absolutely no room for television in my life. Besides, is there really anything on there that glorifies Him and makes me a better person in the process? I would hard-pressed to find it.

My time now needs to be spent in His Word, journaling, playing with my kids, talking with my husband, prayer time, and even some regular therapy appointments (yes, I did say therapy). Hopefully, blogging can become something that I can pick back up in the future but for now there is no room for it. I have to be intentional. I want to be intentional.
