Not without Kimmel

-
These past two and half weeks have been amazingly crazy and awesome all wrapped up in a cute lil boy named Shepherd. We have prayed for a lil addition to our family and felt we were prepared for what God was willing to give. I know one thing now that i couldn't have done any of these last 3 weeks with out kimmel. He has been so amazing and helpful. In ways and places i never knew he would have to do that.


With my fluid being low and me in the hospital days before we would take our lil man home, i began to realize that Kimmel was worried and preparing to take care of two people, while i was just worried about the issue. He was by my side and so very encouraging and never once complained.

[Kimmel and Shepherd's first finger hold after pulling him out :)]

Its interesting to hear friends share their stories about their husbands in the delivery room. How some watch all things possible and others almost faint. Kimmel fell in the middle. We had a c section and i had no clue that Kimmel was really nervous while in there. He said the smell was more then he could handle. He was so good and encouraging, and sat there walking thru it all. When the anesthesiologist asked if he wanted to see, he politely and firmly said no thank you i am fine!


I knew he was going to be a great dad and already had some insight to how great a husband he is but he has gone above and beyond! So thankful for this man God has given me to walk thru our journey together. The lord knew who and what i needed for my life journey here on earth, Kimmel is it! So glad He chooses and not me! I don't know how women do it with out a good man by their side! Hug your husband today and tell him how he makes you better!

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Drills

So the past few wednesdays i have been blessed to 'tutor' 1st graders with reading. Its so easy and it goes by so quick. My husband teaches middle school and has stories galore about the craziness of them and their families. Somethings could be prevented and most is just cause people need Jesus and need to seek after him. Yesterday as we were tutoring they had an 'extreme weather drill'. where everyone calmly goes out in the hall, turn toward the wall sit on their knees and bend over like a ball with their hands on the back of their heads. one teacher said its easier to keep learning with a broken hand than head so keep your hands over the back of your head. The only drills i remember are the fire drills, where you go outside and stand in a line and pretend to watch your school burn down. I have never lived anywhere that they drill for earthquakes or extreme weather...have you? What drills did you do as a yungen?

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba
