Heavy Heart

I've had a heavy heart the past week after reading the blog The Sullivans. The Sullivans are a really sweet couple that just had a sweet baby girl Chloe ( oh how I LOVE the name). The mom just died on Sept. 22nd from complications of Breast Cancer. Their miracle daughter has brought so much hope to this now single father. I pray for this young guy that now has to do so many things that were "supposed" to be shared with his beautiful wife. I can't imagine. I wanted to share this sad/beautiful story. It has touched my heart, and I pray for strength for their entire family. Make sure you have some tissues for this one!

The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.

Psalm 29:11

Dear Jesus...

I had to share this because it is about the cutest thing that happens to me every Thursday Night.

I babysit for a wonderful Family every Thursday night. At the end of the night, when I am tucking the kids into bed, I put the boys down first and then I go in and Pray with the oldest girl. This was her prayer last night...

Dear Jesus,
Thank you for a wonderful babysitter. Please let Madden stop crying so Mason can sleep. Please let Mommy and Daddy drive home safe. Thank you for two wonderful Parents, two wonderful brothers, two wonderful pets, and a wonderful babsitter. Please let Breanna drive home safe and to have a good day tomorrow. Forgive all of my sins that I have done today, and let us all have a good day tomorrow. Amen.

How cute is that? All I know is that Every Thursday Night, I have someone praying for me!!
I love Kids and the things they say!!

I am so thankful.....

6. A great Job working with my dad, and the wonderful kids I am blessed to babysit for!

7. My education. I am almost done with my bachelors degree!!

8. Food in my refrigerator, and money (very little) in my wallet to buy food with!

9. A Womenly body, that allows me to get up every morning!

10. Eyes that look just like my Dads!! :)

24

Oh where oh where have I been? Nowhere actually...Just havn't really had anything to blog about lately!!

Well tomorrow is my big 24th Birthday.... How is it that every year I still feel like the "young" one. Last year, I said " next year when I turn 24, ill feel older...24 sounds so much older" But now that it is here....it still sounds so young...okay okay I know what you are thinking ( I like how I am writing like 1000's of people read this thing) I should appreciate feeling and being ONLY 24..but here is where I am coming from... I am at the stage in life where I want to be taken more serious. People always say, " I would guess you are about 19 or 20" WHAT seriously??? I have been out of High School now going on 6 years, so how is it I still look the age of a just recent high school graudate? Anywhoo... back to where I was coming from.... I am going to be starting my career in less than a year, plan on having a family in the next couple of years. I don't want to be that person that people look at like " she's too young for this".

The real problem is, I don't feel young. Physically I feel like I am 50. I am always tierd, I ache from the moment I get up in the morning, to when I go to bed at Night. I have zero, zilch, nada energy anymore, and I am so out of shape I can hardly walk without being out of breath ( okay, maybe I am exaggerating a little).

My point of this post is..... Tomorrow starts a whole new year of my life... I am ready for a year of battling my demons ( no, I'm not depressed) I am ready to take life on... There are so many changes that I plan on making...so here's to you Year 24...make it a good one!!!! {Please}

6 months Old!!!!

My Sweet Niece Addison is 6 months old today!!! I can't believe how fast time has flown!! It seems just like yesterday she was born!!!

I love you Addison Tamara Hevner! You are the light of sooo many people's lives!!! I am so lucky to be your Aunt!!!

Oh, Monday

( Here's a random pic of me and my Niece, Addison)

Wow, its been a while since I have last posted...to tell you the truth nothing too exciting has happened...but lets recap.....

• I had a great time in Colorado with my family! I love it there sooo much!

• I was in Las Vegas the beginning of last week for a work convention! It was actually really good and informative! ( considering people looked at me like I was 12 years old, some lady even came up to me and asked me if I wanted Hot Chocolate!!!!!! What?!?! Do I look 12? She even put whip cream on it!! My big 24 is coming up here soon, maybe then I'll look older!

• I am officially tierd ALL OF THE TIME!!! if anybody has a cure for this please let me know!!! ( no, I'm not pregnant, I know thats what you were thinking!)

• I am throwing my sister a baby shower on Sunday with her friend Maggie....keep posted on that fun occasion!!

okay, i'm probably officially the most boring blog writer! i'll pick it up here soon! Until then...have a great week!

Colorado bliss....

This is what I have been doing while in Colorado.........



Ill be back to blogging when I get home!
