Jordybugs birthday!

Wednesday and Thursday Before Jordybugs birthday were crazy. I woke up early both days and painted my door~I was so proud. It was this really cute pinkish red~I loved it. Hubby didn't. He didn't say anything at first-until Friday AFTER I had finished it and it looked SO cute-did i mention I liked it? So, he decides that he wants it back real red-what is real red anyway? There are like a million different reds. An argument ensues and I just suck it up and tell him "You want it painted-YOU paint it-whatever!". The door comes off after his short trip to HD and he gets the kids involved (only to involve the fact that HE doesn't really have to paint it himself) one with a small paintbrush (really only used for watercolors-ha-we'll get a lot of painting done with that!) and the other with the real paintbrush. So here they are with paintbrushes in hand with a door off the hinges in a dark room with barely any light painting my perfectly lovely door-go figure.

I just endure-praying that it will come out descent. I wake up on Saturday morning and open my door- "OH MY GOSH-DO YOU SEE THIS DOOR? IT HAS RUNS EVERYWHERE! HALF OF IT'S NOT PAINTED-IT WOULD'VE BEEN FINE IF YOU JUST LEFT IT ALONE!" (can u tell the infuriation in my voice?) His response "nobody will see it, I'll fix it next week" my response "ARE U KIDDING ME? I HAVE GUESTS COMING IN 4 HOURS AND YOU MESSED UP MY DOOR!".........fight ensues.

I knew (at the last minute mind u) that he had a meeting at 12:30 (which made me even more frustrated that he would schedule a meeting with people on his own daughters bday party-oh well) so, he finishes the lawn-which of course he wanted a million thanks for (not gonna happen-u ruined my door) and he showered and got dressed. He came downstairs in this.................................................................................

Yea...you see it? It's a shirt that says "I love my marriage". I about died....trying not to laugh, but I couldn't help it. I mean the man gets on my nerves sometimes, but gosh do I love him.

The party was great! She had just enough kids here to be a good crowd, not overwhelming. She got a lot of wonderful presents, and the fact that the cake wasn't one of my exciting creations (i ran out of time)-she didn't care. You know people eat it anyway- it's the taste that counts!

Here are some pics...

On a side note...

As I was watching everyone leave, something occured to me-I never thought I would be standing waving to little girls with princess dresses leaving my house. After Preston was born, we waited and I really didn't want anymore kids, although Chris did. He bugged me...I said no-then he said "Pray about it"-I didn't-for weeks atleast.

Then we went to Africa on a missions trip-(totally awesome) and the Lord started speaking to me before I went that I was afraid to have kids because I didn't think I would have a girl-(boys are great-but God knows the desires of our hearts and I wanted a GIRL-didn't want to be completely outnumbered-ya know!), so He told me to confess the desires of my heart and He would give them to me because I was faithful to go on the missions trip. It didn't take much convincing and I started speaking.

After the missions trip- I got pregnant and when they did the ultrasound- IT WAS A GIRL!!! I called everyone I knew.....God is faithful!

I think God wanted to remind me that it's not too late and not to forget what He does in our lives! What a great reminder! Thank you Lord, for not only blessing me with One baby girl, but two!
