Bobby and me

Well, it's been a while since my last entry, but I feel bad that I haven't actually posted a picture of Bobby and I on here yet. He has checked out the blog and says, 'So, not even a picture of us on there yet, eh?' Life gets busy so quickly, so I haven't had a chance to really work on this blog too much yet. For the last couple of days, Emma has had a fever, cough, and a bunch of unseen symptoms, so I have not had much sleep in the last 2 days. To put it nicely, I really don't enjoy these times, but I know God will use these times to draw me closer to Him and to learn from these experiences. These tougher moments make me really appreciate all of the good nights of sleep and the many laughs that we have, so it's all worth it. There is so much to parenthood, that even if it was all outlined in a university degree, you still wouldn't know what it was about until you actually experienced it for yourself. It's amazing. I've been ignorant about many things in my life. But my ideas of parenting were at the top of my ignorance list. As much as I love my independence, I am so thankful for the opportunity to be a mom and a wife. My biggest challenge is looking to God continually for guidance, wisdom and strength. So, if you think of it, pray for me that I will lean on Him for my life.
Bobby has been really great. He helps me a lot with the kids. I think he knows how high maintenance I am, so he tries to keep me content in the little ways. He loves spending time with our girls, watching golf, hockey, football, rolling around and playing with them on the floor. I can't believe that we will be married 4 years in August. So much as changed in four years -- to moving from an apartment to a house, owning a dog to giving her up for adoption (for the safety of our kids), having a Mazda and a Cavalier, to now owning a Taurus and a Dodge Caravan, and of course, going from having only Eternity (my step-daughter) to now Emma and Eva. It's crazy! But it's good crazy. Each marriage has it's ups and downs, but I feel that the Lord is working in us to make us stronger and become one even more, as God intended it.
Well, this has been a very random and heavy entry I would say. I guess I'm in the mood to gush my feelings, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. But I should sign off and I will write more another day :)
