Oh by the way, Katie had a baby!!

So I never officially announced on here that Katie was preggo!!! I've known since the day she found out and had planned to do a big ol post about it but she was never in the mood for pictures and we all know you don't mess with a pregnant woman!! We have been on RED ALERT waiting for her to have Ben and she finally did at 1:00 am Friday morning!! She barely made it to the hospital on time, which we were expecting since her labors move super fast. From her first contraction to birth it was a short 3 1/2 hours!

She has sad cell service in the hospital and my number is long distance so she couldn't call me from the hospital phone so I didn't find out untill 8 pm Friday night when her text finally went through! I hustled over to meet little Benjamin Riley Saturday and spent some time with Katie. Her hubby Roberto had to take their oldest Joey to something and was going to be gone all day so I stayed with her for several hours so she wouldn't be alone. As luck would have it about an hour or so after i left she got discharged early!!

So this is Benjamin Riley who will go by Ben, weighed in at 9 pounds 2 oz, and was 21 inches long! He is a chunk!! I held him for over an hour and when I left my inner elbow was sore! He is a handful! But sooo sweet. I don't know what it is about me and kids, they snooze easily in my arms. They also poop. I'm not sure what that says about me.. I put children to sleep and they feel comfortable pooping when I hold them. Fabulous!

Welcome to the world Ben!!

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo! My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable. My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size! Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!! That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

The Bible Recap Day 45- Leviticus 5-7 (Year Three Podcast)

Welcome back to Leviticus Friends! Today we are in chapters 5-7 and I'll admit on the first pass through of it, while listening to it on my Bible app and reading along, I didn't make a ton of notes. But when I listened to the pod things made more sense, and I got a lot more from it. Which is why I highly reccomend listening to the pod after doing your reading. TL breaks it down and shares historical and meanings of things that those of us not steeped in our Hebrew, might not know. Things I found interesting: She mentioned that God is the only one who has spoken so far in Leviticus. Tomorrow we get a switchup with Moses and Aaron but so far the first 7 chapters have all been God talking! We talk about blood some more, and she again makes the note that it is a reminder of the fall and that God is working on rebuilding Eden. She also notes that blood is given back to God because God is the giver and taker of life. A question I had, when we were in 5:11, talking about the rich a...

It's me, Charity
