So much fun!

Last Tuesday, we went to a back to school bash and me and Samuel decided to take a picture with a purple thing. (I have no clue what it was, Lol) It was very cute though!
Samuel also won two toys!



Then this past Saturday, we went to a water park! My fiance' and my sister Sara's fiance' came along with us. We had a wonderful time! Although we all got burned! It was very fun still! Matt and me took Samuel into the water and watched over him while momma and daddy got ready to get into the water... Samuel would pretend like he was swimming, it was the cutest thing. Then he would start jumping off the side of the pool into the water with his head under water! He has always loved water but he is also very afraid of his head going under! He is getting so brave! Matt and me kept swimming in the 4'6 area while momma and daddy watched Samuel. Then I decided to go off the diving board, into 12'6 water! It was so much fun! Momma and daddy came and joined Sara, Josh, Matt, Julie, and me in the 4'6 water while Joni watched Samuel! We all had great WONDERFUL time!









Yesterday, Joni and momma went over to the high school for Joni's freshman orientation! I can't believe she will be in high school! Joni is very excited but you can still see the fear of being high school in her eyes!

I go Monday, to pick up my class schedule and pay for my locker! I am excited to start my Senior year but, I still don't want summer to end!

Wordless Wednesday.

1 year and 9 months.

Yesterday Matt and me got to go on our date with my mom and dad. We went to an Italian rsturant. Samuel really wanted to go of course I didn't mind and neither did Matt. Matt loves Samuel to death! We also went to Mighty Dollar and the Dollar tree. It was very fun, we all had a great time out together!
Today Matt and me have been together for 1 year and 9 months! I could not picture myself with someone else! He is my best friend and I don't know what I would do with out him! He is truly a blessing to me. He loves me for who I am, and loves my family. He is so sweet to me all the time!
Happy 1 year and 9 months to my best friend!

Absolutely beautiful!

This song is so beautiful, specially if you're having an argument with your boy friend, fiance', or husband! (No, Matt and me are not arguing)
This song is called, "I won't give up" By: Jason Mraz
Here are the lyrics:

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

Love and Prayer.

I am in love with the bible verse;
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
-John 15:13 (KJV)
This makes me think of the love Jesus had for us dying on the cross. The love all of our soldiers have for us to fight for our freedom.
Matt has been talking again about possibly joining the military. I told him no. But, what if that's what God is calling him to do?
Did I just tell Matt to tell God no?
He keeps telling me he feels like that is where God is calling him.
I told him to pray about it but I don't know if he has or not because of me telling him no. Matt has always wanted to join the military but he said that all changed when I came along. But, every now and then he tells me he feels that God is calling him to do that. Please pray that God will show Matt what he wants him to do with his life.

Happy 4th of July!

"A Toast to the Flag"
by John J. Daly - 1917

Here's to the red of it--
There's not a thread of it,
No, nor a shred of it
In all the spread of it
From foot to head.
But heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing it Red!

Here's to the white of it--
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right of it,
But feels the might of it
Through day and night?
Womanhood's care for it
Made manhood dare for it,
Purity's prayer for it
Keeps it so white!

Here's to the blue of it--
Beauteous view of it,
Heavenly hue of it,
Star-spangled dew of it
Constant and true;
Diadems gleam for it,
States stand supreme for it,
Liberty's beam for it
Brightens the blue!

Here's to the whole of it--
Stars, stripes and pole of it,
Body and soul of it,
O, and the roll of it,
Sun shinning through;
Hearts in accord for it,
Swear by the sword for it,
Thanking the Lord for it,
Red White and Blue!

Happy 4th of July, everyone!

My first dance wedding song

I heard this song about six months ago and I absolutely love it! Matt and I played it over and over again so we decided it will be our first dance wedding song!
It's called "All about us" by He is we
The music video is beautiful!

Here are the lyrics:

Take my hand, I’ll teach you to dance.
I’ll spin you around, won’t let you fall down.
Would you let me lead, you can step on my feet.
Give it a try, it’ll be alright.

The room’s hush, hush,
And now’s our moment.
Take it in feel it all and hold it.
Eyes on you, eyes on me.
We’re doing this right.

Cause lovers dance when they’re feeling in love.
Spotlight shining, it’s all about us.
It’s oh, oh, all,
About uh, uh, us.
And every heart in the room will melt,
This is a feeling I’ve never felt but,
It’s all about us.

Suddenly, I’m feeling brave.
Don’t know what’s got into me,
Why I feel this way.
Can we dance, real slow?
Can I hold you,can I hold you close?

The room’s hush, hush,
And now’s our moment.
Take it in feel it all and hold it.
Eyes on you, eyes on me.
We’re doing this right.

Cause lovers dance when they’re feeling in love.
Spotlight shining, it’s all about us.
It’s oh, oh, all,
About uh, uh, us.
And every heart in the room will melt,
This is a feeling I’ve never felt but,
It’s all about us.

Do you hear that love?
They’re playing our song.
Do you think we’re ready?
Oh I’m really feeling it.
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?
They’re playing our song.
Do you think we’re ready yet?
Love I’m really feeling it.
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?
They’re playing our song.
Do you think we’re ready yet?
Oh I’m really feeling it.
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?

Lovers dance when they’re feeling in love.
Spotlight shining, it’s all about us.
It's all about us.
It’s all, all, all, all.
Every heart in the room will melt,
This is a feeling I’ve never felt,
But it’s all about us.

Cause lovers dance when they’re feeling in love.
Spotlight shining, it’s all about us.
It’s oh oh all about us
(hey-ey hey)
And every heart in the room will melt,
This is a feeling I’ve never felt but,
It’s oh, oh,
It’s all about us.

Ugh...

Matt and me have been planning to go on a date for a while now... for some reason it ALWAYS gets cancelled! We planned to go on the 4th of July. Sara said if she got to go to the mall Sunday then she would let my mom and dad get out of the house for 3-4 hours this week... Well Matt is off work this week. He came up with the idea to go on a date on the 4th of July. Well Sara said that wouldn't be fair (even though she had her date with Josh) because it was 4th of July and Josh is also off work that day. So now all of it is ruined because momma and daddy were going to go with us on our date and they can't leave Josh and Sara here alone. So now for the 4th time our date has been cancelled! Even though Sara got her way going to the mall Sunday, and momma and daddy never picked the day. Even though Sara said that they could not knowing if they would pick the 4th of July! I am so mad and upset! This ALWAYS happens when Matt and me plan something. It's not fair!
