dear lexi,

You are growing up so fast.  You have such a spunky personality.  You dance like no one is watching, even when they are.  You wear mismatched socks with your Christian school uniform.  You are animated (that is an understatement).  You are always glowing.  You are intelligent.  You are a good friend.  You have the biggest heart.  You love hard.  You are a believer.  You are my sunshine. 

I pray you never change.  I pray you continue to be a leader and a helper.  I pray you continue to follow your dreams, even when you find obstacles.  You want to be a performer, a teacher, a landscaper, a photographer, and most importantly, a mother.  I know you will be a successful child and adult.  I pray you don't grow up too fast.  I pray you and your husband are blessed with children.  I can't imagine my life without you.  I prayed for you and I thank God every single day for blessing us with you. 

I love you,
Mom

Day 8

Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Day 12

Today I am thankful for Apple.  Apple makes great technology.  Jason has been in Canada for almost a week and because of our iPads we were able to facetime with him!  Lexi gets a little shy when the conversation begins, but she quickly warms up and loves to talk and kiss him.  We love and miss him so much when he is traveling.  We are looking forward to the summer when he is home with us for a couple of months straight!!

We have officially been eating clean since right after Christmas!  I have been working a lot in the kitchen preparing and cooking clean food.  Yesterday morning while standing at the kitchen counter drinking my tea, I had a vision for our breakfast nook.  We never eat at that table.  It is wasted space.  While we were iced in yesterday (crazy north Texas weather) Lexi and I made a rainbow for St. Patty's Day (and because we LOVE rainbows!).  Today I pulled out blankets, books, and picked up succulents at Trader Joe's.  I made raspberry, lemon and mint water and put out mason jars + straws (we drink a lot more water if it has fresh fruit in it!).  And...tada...here is our cozy + bright lil' breakfast nook.  I think it is already becoming my happy place.  :)
