Thought of the day
I recently came upon a blog posting that really hit home to me. I am not going through the same thing this women is going through, but her message couldn't have been more of what I was thinking when I was getting judged about becoming pregnant after 3 months of marriage. I always thought that if I was in my 20's and that if I waited til I was married to have kids I could spare myself from the snickering, judgement looks, comments, and pity over me. Well, when my husband and I told the world about our beautiful blessing that we tried for I wasn't clear from those things. I couldn't believe it. They were ruining my excitement for our child. Make me feel like I should be sad or that I should have waited a certain time after being married to start having children. We wouldn't possibly be trying to have a child on purpose-that's what they portrayed in their words and made me feel. These people do not know that where I am at in my life (family, work, and school) is exactly where I always dreamed for me. I knew for a long time that when I got married I was not one to wait 5 years to start a family; that's just not what I wanted. When I read this blog post it took me back to that moment and empowered me to realize that kind of behavior from others is something I don't have to tolerate. I won't let others make me feel ashamed for my dreams that I put into action. No we aren't millionaires when we had our first child or in the best house. That doesn't mean that I don't deserve to start my family. I just want every woman to know that you don't have to feel ashamed for that wonderful gift from God that you are growing inside! It's a blessing! I know it's hard to not let others negativity get you down, but you deserve to feel happy and excited!

Gods Gifts
I have never experienced the loss of a child or pregnancy, but I have known too many close people of mine who have. These women are so strong I can't even imagine! Today is Rememberence day for the pregnancies and infants lost. Someone very close to me found out she was pregnant after trying for 5 years last week only to find out today that she had miscarried. :( I had no right words to tell her just the hurt I felt for her! It also make me so so grateful to God for giving me the gift of my son Rhett! I will never take him for granted and I will forever keep thanking God for him! Every child is a blessing! That is why even in different situations that is how it should be looked at; as a blessing from God. For the people who do not think this way should spent some time with women who can't have children or who have lost their child. Every child is precious and truly Gods Gift! This day is a special day for me. Exactly one year from today I took a pregnancy test and it was positive! I was working night shift at the time and I had just got off work at 10am. I hadn't missed my period yet, but I felt like God was telling me that I was pregnant. So at 1025 I took that test and I couldn't believe it was positive! I was filled with so much joy I couldn't sleep! I instantly called my Husband because I just simply couldn't wait til he was off work! He was suprised and excited all at once! So today is for all the lost ones and for my gift from God! This blog is dedicated to all the women who can't get pregnant, who have lost a child, and who have lost a pregnancy! I may never know how you feel, but know how strong of women you are to have gone through that!

Senior Night!
For senior night Lakeview played Crete. The sets went
25-10
25-16
27-25
Wayde had a good game as well as all her team mates! They also were able to put in some players that don't get to play a lot in tonight which is really good for their experience. Like you can see above we won in three straight sets, but I don't know what changed in the third set as to why it was so close! Luckily we pulled through and finished the win! They play best three out of five sets. Every set except the fifth goes to 25. The fifth set goes to 15. It was a fun night and Rhett was able to see a lot of his cousins and family!

It was a fun filled volleyball night!

DIY Project
Well since like I said I am not that crafty don't judge my little DIY project of mine. There are no onesies for my son to wear to support the Lakeview Vikqueens (the high school I went to in Columbus, NE). So, I decided to make one for my sister-in-law'a senior (Wayde) volleyball night. I just went to Walmart and bought some plain white onesies and puffy paint. Of course more than one for mess ups! ;) The puffy paint is made for fabric and was only $.097! So it was a great buy! I started on one onesie, but didn't like it so I tried again on another onesie and I think it turned out really good; for me! ;) I really hope Wayde likes the shirt! On the front it says L.H.S for Lakeview High School then the back has Rodehorst on it with the number 10. Which is Waydes number! Well, here it is!!!
I know not something that you could buy on Etsy, but I am proud of it! :)
