Journaling...

Silent House

Its the moment I enjoy the most ... the end of the day. I am sitting at our new dinning room table listening to the rain tap...tap...tap on the open chimney. The air conditioner is humming and the clicking of the keys...priceless.

So much has been going on since Hannah has been born...imagine that.

Paradise

2009-06-10T01:29:20Z

It's summertime and of course we all start to think of the beach. Summers ago back in my youth I used to spend quiet a bit of time in the sun, at the beach or a pool. The best part about all that was the time to read, be still, reflect and of course...people watch.

However, nothing beats time in the caribbean.

Last night we went out on our first date since Hannah was born. Yep dressed up, perfume, heels, and a babysitter. It was funny because while we were driving up to Charlotte I said, "This feels more like a date then any other date since we have been married."

Daniel agreed. As my dad said, "Maybe it's because it took more to make it happen, therefore, you appreciated it more." Either way we had a blast. We went out to eat at Firebirds in Charlotte and then went to see the movie "Up" in 3D. When we got home at 1 a.m. we both just smiled and said what a wonderful time we had. It was great to talk and laugh about other things than Hannah, even though we have enjoyed every moment.

Here is an updated pic of our beautiful girl and our date picture.

Just Add H2O

I am not one for a green thumb. Normally if I get a plant it dies within a few weeks or at the most a couple of months. Definitely don't rely on me to plant anything in the ground and have it survive and produce flowers, fruit or anything else.

However, since I have been off I have been watering my plants that hang on our wrap around porch. They have grown so much and are really looking great. As I was watering them today I was thinking about my Christian walk with the Lord.

It takes work to make our faith grow.

Cheers to a Toast...or Review

June 3, 2006 I married the man of my dreams.

Here we are at our 3 year anniversary and although to some this seems small and petty...only 3 years...I am richly blessed and happy to see this day. I hear almost on a regular basis couples who are struggling in there marriage or have given up completely and my heart breaks. So even though this is just 3 years I am thankful that we are through another year and still kicking.

Dedication

When Hannah gave birth to Samuel she promised to give him back to the Lord.

1 Samuel 1:27, 28

I prayed for this boy, and since the LORD gave me what I asked Him for, I now give the boy to the LORD. For as long as he lives, he is given to the LORD." Then he bowed and worshiped the LORD there.

Obedience

2009-04-28T09:43:35Z

We all remember that wonderful child's song..."Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe...action is the key to living obediently..." Well, Hannah Elizabeth Huddleston was very obedient and come on her due date of April 26th at 11:42 a.m. She weighted 7 lbs and is 20" long. She was very stubborn but also very healthy.

Great is Thy Faithfulness

This song has followed me through many days and nights when there was no light at the end of the tunnel and when there was a clear path as full as the noonday. In other words, the words have come when there was no hope it seemed...and when there was plenty to be thankful for.

I am on the brink of 36 weeks tomorrow.

Babymoon

2009-03-08T22:04:48Z

We've all heard of the honeymoon...but what about a babymoon. I read in a magazine almost 3 months ago that before the first baby comes the husband and wife should get away for a trip. They called it the "babymoon".
