When you have three boys, and you are expecting a little girl this is what happens at my house a pink explosion. I end up with an all pink nursery for our itty bitty. I admit that I am in love with this simply yet super girly room in my house! I have to give a giant shout out to my parents who help in a big way. My mom did all the painting which is not the most fun job in the world, and my dad painted then hung the chandler adding a dimmer switch to the room! Thanks parentals!<br />

Today my sweet husband woke me up with a "Happy Anniversary". It made me smile. This is one of my favorite days of the year. <br />
<br />
13 years of marriage and memories. In theory 13 years doesn't really seem like that many years, but when you fall in love at 14, get married at 18, have your first kid at 20, buy your first house at 21 thirteen years sure holds a lot of life. I couldn't have dreamed up a better partner to journey though this life with, and I am looking forward to the many more adventures, memories, joys, and even the tears and trials that life brings our way. All of life's moments have taught us more about each other, more about true love, and more about God's blessings and timing. Today we celebrate all that life lived together, all the life still yet to be lived. Our anniversary the celebration of the foundation on which our family was built. Happy 13th Anniversary to my sweet husband!!! <br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear Sweet Baby Girl, </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I saw you on the ultrasound a few days ago. I cried when
they told me you where a girl. I have dreamed of you for so long, and now you
are real, and your Dad was just as over joyful as I was. My heart is just so
full of happiness I can hardly stand it!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I think about you all the time. It’s hard not to. You are
always with me squirming around and kicking your tiny toes against my tummy my
favorite part of pregnancy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Your brothers are all excited to meet you. They place their
hands on my tummy to try to get a feel of you kicking. You often go all shy on
them. I wonder if you will be shy. Your brothers are not shy at all. Your
oldest brother has already written a song about you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your middle brothers are going to smother you
in kisses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are already loved so
much.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I for one toss and turn at night thinking about getting up
to feed you, holding and snuggling you in my arms. Wondering what you are going
to look like, and what your little personality is going to add to this
family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The excitement level is high,
and I can’t wait to meet you my sweet girl. Girl I can’t believe I am saying
that, I can’t believe how blessed I am, I can’t believe I will be holding you
in only a few short months! How beautiful life is…….</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">A GIRL...I still can't believe
it! It still seems somewhat like I am living in a dream. The boys are over the
moon including my husband! It has been so sweet to witness. I still can't get use to saying she. I feel soooo
blessed and my heart is overflowing. I stand in awwe when I think about the year
and how sad I have been even early in this <span id="yiv6668155943misspell-1">pregnancy. Even holding my breathe at every appointment and ultrasound waiting to hear the reassurance of a heartbeat,</span> and now God has <span id="yiv6668155943misspell-2">truly</span> turned my mourning into
joy! It's an incredible feeling. Not that I have forgotten or replaced the sweet soul that I lost back in October, but
my sweet Savior has answered prayers and been a faithful Father. It's almost overwhelming to
even explain right now. Even looking at my sons and seeing the joy and
excitement, and how much they have grown over these months. I just can't say
enough of what God is and has done for this family! We are overjoyed with the news, and are continuing to pray for her safe arrival into our arms come August!</span> <br />

I take it for granted way to much how close my families are. Not everyone has a family like mine to be thankful for. A family where the line between in-laws and blood relation are blurry. I love spending the holidays and random weekends with our family. I love huge family dinners and long telephone conversions. My family...my in laws, my cousins, my aunts, and uncles, my parents, and brothers, and lets not forget my husband and children! I am so thankful for them all! We are far from perfect and many times a traveling circus, but they are mine and I am theirs!

I love them each and everyone! Every time I get one it makes me smile! I can't wait to open it up and see what it looks like and who it's from! I got my first one today, and it truly is a little bit of Christmas magic to me!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I am also thankful today for little unexpected blessing! Small things, kind things, sweet words, you just never know when you are making someones day a little brighter with such simple things! Someone made my day today with unexpected little package in the mail and it made me smile. It made my day a little sweeter! I was thankful for that act of kindness! </span>Jaime Leighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13844767415214656443noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280873613721081585.post-86916718459648938902012-11-25T20:30:00.000-06:002012-11-26T23:39:42.363-06:00Thankfulness Reflections Day 25
<span style="font-family: "5th Grade Cursive";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I was
younger much younger and living at home back on the farm I would run to the
barn loft and just sit there with my dog. It was where I found peace. It’s
where I first talk to God. I had no real relationship with Him; I had never
given myself or my heart over to Him. I merely new He existed. I had knowledge
of Him, but no relationship. Yet there I was my hair was probably wild, my
jeans where stained with grass and mud, and I am sure I was having a bad day.
As bad as they come in the juvenile sense of bad day, but there I was
whispering up prayers to the Heavens. I can’t remember what about only that I
was talking to God. I am thankful for that memory! But I am most thankful for the what happen next....</span></span><br />

find relationship with Jesus. It was one Tuesday night at small Baptist Church
in the town I grew up in. I was a teenager at the time 14 to be exact. I was
there with friends for a youth revival night; I was there to hang out with
friends. I got much more than that. I didn’t even know I was searching for something,
but I was. I was searching for protection. I wanted to protect my heart from
the world around me. So that night I meet Jesus the ultimate protector from the
world. I felt his love for me instantly, and knew from the start my life would
be forever different. I am so very thankful for that day! I am thankful for a living God who's love always remains with me. No matter how broken I am He loves me! I am so very thankful for all He has blessed me with! I am really in awe of Him, and His saving grace! Because of Him I really do have so much to be thankful for!!!!! I am thankful I let my friends drag me to hang out at church that night!!!!</span></span>Jaime Leighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13844767415214656443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280873613721081585.post-72311242568735138272012-11-24T19:00:00.000-06:002012-11-26T23:28:49.760-06:00Thankfulness Reflections Day 24<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can't imagine a childhood or adulthood for that matter without him. He should have been the oldest because he has always felt like my protector. I can always count on him whether it's for a laugh or to listen!<br />
<br />
I am also thankful for my brothers sweet family. I couldn't have dreamed up a better sister in law, and my sweet niece is so full of joy and love. It's impossible not to be smiling when she is around. They both have brought so much to this family! I heart my brother and his little family!

I am thankful for family gathered around tables swapping stories from years past. I am thank for children circled around Grandad instruments in hand. I am thankful for the Holiday puzzle strode all over the table. I am thankful for the meal prepared with so much time and extra effort. I am thankful for the cousins running wild, and for every ounce of love that makes our family whole! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! <br />

There is nothing like home sweet home! Everything is just a little sweeter in the place where you grew up. This old town holds so many wonderful memories! Memories of my childhood, my teachers, my families, my first date to the homecoming football game, and my very first job so many memories to many to count really! I am so thankful for all this little country town has given me from lifetime friendships (I love you girls) to little country church where I first met my Savior (I love you Jesus)!

Everyone in the house was smiling and happy. It made for such a peaceful day. Even though there was tons of work to be done the day was full of happiness! I am thankful for that.

After a long day of chores, packing, homework battles I am so grateful bedtime has arrived. I am thankful my children are tucked in bed all snug as a bug in rug, and thankful that it is just about time for sleep to devour me as well!

They are always willing to help out in anyway they can, and have a pretty magical way they connect with each of the boys. I feel blessed to just get to witness these relationships between our parents and our children. I believe my kids are building life long memories with all their grandparents, and that's a pretty special thing to be able to have!<br />

I am thankful for their unconditional love, endless patience, never ending support. I am thankful that I got the privilege to live in a household with two parents that loved each other. I always felt loved, and taken care of. Now as a parent of three I know raising my brother and I was no easy task. Many sacrifices where made, and a supply of endless love was given. I am so honored to be there daugther, and I am so thankful for all that they are! I am one incredible blessed girl, and maybe a little spoiled also! Love you Mom and Dad!!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Music hasn't always been a huge part of my life. Then I met my husband and he introduced me to music. He had this incredible passion for all kinds of music, and this amazing voice to project it with. God has also given him this beautiful talent that brings people to the heart of worship using music. I am thankful that my husband introduced it to me, and that he has passed that love on to my children as well. Now my whole life everyday is filled with melodies and lyrics, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am thank that a songs has the ability to change my mood or uplift my spirit. I am thankful for the songs that get stuck in my head, and the ones that make me sing aloud. I am thankful music has the gift to bring people closer together. I am most thankful that a song has the ability to bring me closer to my Savior with worship. I am truly thankful for art of music and the impact it has on my life, and my families! </span></div>
