Cancer

As I sit here trying to find the words, I don't even really know where to start. This topic sucks... and as much as I hate to admit it, it is becoming a huge reality in everyday life. I have lost many special people in my life to cancer, so it is nothing unfamiliar to me. However, this sweet girl has been on my heart for a good while now and it has really began to get to me.

We all go about our day complaining about the simplest things.. Today I complained because Cody didn't do the Elf on a shelf the way I wanted him to.. Something so stupid and simple, while others are out there just trying to hold on to the little bit of life that they have left. I constantly yell at Blake for doing something that any 2 year old would do, while others out there are just wishing they had a 2 year old to bless their lives. Tomorrow is my 24th birthday, but many people will not make it to their 24th birthday. We all take so many things for granted each and every day. I pray that God reminds me each time I begin to complain that someone out there would love to be in my position and that He will put me right back in my place.

With that being said, the real reason behind this post is because Yanna needs our prayers. This sweet girl has been fighting an ugly battle for almost a year now and she needs our prayers now more than ever. Please continue to pray for Yanna and her family through this battle. They are all so very strong and have kept their faith in God through all of this.

Thanks,
Kim

Busy Bee

Hello!

I know it has been a few weeks since I have been able to post, but it has been a very busy few weeks and I am having to make several adjustments during such a busy season!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a great time seeing all of our family, but it is never long enough! Also, Cody's family celebrations resulted in about 20 of them coming down with the stomach bug...luckily, Blake and I escaped it, but Cody was one of those who wasn't so lucky. Then, on our way home we were having trouble with one of my tires and we had to stop in Gatesville to buy a new one.. so that was another 2 hrs of being gone that we were not planning. We decided we are staying home for Christmas!! Okay, not really.. but it did cross our minds!

I began a new job here in Groesbeck the Monday that we came home from our Thanksgiving break. I think it will be a great fit for me and they have already began to make me feel at home. I am looking forward to learning all of the new tasks that I will be doing each day and I am grateful to be working in the Accounting department, which is what I went to school for.

Sorry this is not the most exciting blog post, but I have to get back to work! I will be working on a new look for the blog as soon as I can, but for now I have too much to do. I have decided to make it a tradition to make Blake a photobook each Christmas that has pictures of the last year, so I am currently working on that. Last night I stayed up until 4 am wrapping presents. My to-do list is slowly being checked off a little at a time.

Hope everyone has a goodnight!
