Pure Lovin' No More Pride

So, here it goes...Why is it that we fight against the things in life that are good for us? I have been saying for some time now that I should start a blog so that I could journal more of what is going on with my family. I am always a little stubborn this way and have to be the last of my friends to take on adventures like this. I always tease my mom that she didn't love me as a baby because we don't have any record of who I was, how I grew, when I did certain things, etc. So this is my attempt at helping Lillie to feel loved and remembered. She is an amazing addition to our family and we are so blessed to have her. She is constantly trying out new tricks and is so determined to accomplish them. She wears herself out. She is probably going to resemble Olivia, the children's book. She loves her daddy and I can't wait for the day when she can run to him and greet him after a long day's work. I love being a mother and I pray that all women will be able to know the joy a mother has for her children. Teaching them and guiding them through life seems to be the daunting task of today, but hopefully, in the end, good choices will be made and lessons learned. We are getting ready to have my mom and sister, Tiffany, to visit us this weekend. I am so proud to call them my family. My mom has been so supportive of me and my decisions and I love her for it. Miss Tiffany is taking on an extreme adventure as she prepares to travel to the Darfur Region in Sudan where a mass genocide is taking place. She is so determined to help them and I am so proud of her. You can find out more information by going to www.stopgenocidenow.org. I guess this is a good introduction to my family and my life. I will be posting more later.
