Today we ran into another road block with the sale of our house. I bust out cry worried and stressed. I started praying in the car came home and found this Words of Wisdom email........
Everything in life is a reward or a test! Keep pushing!The desire for increase and multiplication is a characteristic of God.The entire earth is motivated by reward! God planned it. It is unnatural to pursue decrease. It is normal to pursue increase. Stay focused! Life always provides you a test to qualify you for the rewards. (Remember!)You will experience a double portion of influence and provision as you overcome your present testing! :) God is Love ~Rev Run

We're Off!!!
Man what a week! We started packing last week to move last weekend. Thank you to Mom, Kelle, Dana, Kenzie, Austen, Stacy, Thomas, LindsEy, the Kids and Gavin (our new 4 yr. old friend), for all your help last weekend with the move. I do not like moving and I hope we don't do it again for a while. Was for sure a bitter sweet move but we really like out new place and can't wait to have people over.
Kona wasn't so sure about the move and still is a little anxiety struck by the event. Shiver didn't do good the first few night but has learned to love all the ducks and birds in the pond behind our house. Jack well he is used to moving and did just fine. He likes helping me get ready in the morning.
I haven't quite got done unpacking everything or found a place for it but I will soon.
In the mean time we are out of here. Tomorrow morning we will be leaving for our annual Memorial Day camping trip to Timothy Lake. We can't wait to go and relax it will be a well deserved trip this year. When I get back I will share all the pictures, laughs, fishing stories and fun times we will had. Till then have a GREAT long weekend I know I will.

How to achieve happiness
Every day I get emails which are Words of Wisdom for the day. I have posted a few before when they stick out or I like them a lot, so I may start posting more of them. I love today's!!!!
Do you desire to be happy? (Remember this) The proof of desire is pursuit. You must go to happy places.. Pursue happy people..Create happy days... If you really desire happiness in your life, you must be willing to reach for it! Never blame anyone or anything for your unhappiness. Life rewards reachers. I have always said, "Happiness is never placed within your life, happiness is simply placed within your reach!". Now go out there and have a happy day! :) :) God is Love ~Rev Run

First and foremost I want anyone reading this to know this is my blog, my thoughts and my feelings.
I do not know who left the "Anonymous" comment on my blog but I think you really misunderstood what my friend said. Since you have decided to remain anonymous I don't know who you are so I couldn't email you directly if I do know you. Please do not be offended by any of this I am just trying to clarify for you what you misunderstood. You are obviously a Mommy and are very blessed that you are. YOU DO NOT AND WILL NEVER understand the feeling of not being a Mommy month after month when you have wanted to be for so long. All she was saying (from experience) was there are a few Mother's out in the WORLD (NOT YOU) that take their children for granted and being a Mother. All she was saying is I will for sure appreciate my child, adopted or how ever it is some day that Chris and I have a child because it is so wanted. Without knowing what someone is going through please think about what you say or write before you do. Everyone has their own pains and struggles and this is mine.

Mother's Day/Holidays..........
Each year Mother’s Day/Holiday is different. Sometimes I have wanted to just cry, some I have completely forgotten, some I think how great it would be to give my family the news as a present for that holiday that we are having a baby, and some years I occupy myself with so much I forget to cry. This year was a mixture of all.
I say it was a combination of all for a few reasons. We have really been so busy that Mother’s Day just kind of snuck up on us so we didn’t plan anything big for either one of our Mom’s. I didn’t really feel like just crying all day like some years but there were a few things that brought tears to my eyes throughout the day.
Sometimes I don’t think I give Chris enough credit to understand sometimess what I am going through. We went to my Mom’s yesterday for pretty much all day since Joe and Kelle were out of town. In the early afternoon I was in Mom’s office and heard Kona walking in the kitchen and Mom yelling for me. I jumped up quickly knowing Kona isn’t really allowed in the house. As I turned the corner here came Kona with a card around her neck. It was the cutest Doggie Mother’s Day card that brought tears to my eyes. I may not be a “mom” in the truest sense but I am Kona's Mommy.
When we spend time at Mom and Jack’s we always like to enjoy a nice bottle of wine or 2. For some reason they decided they wanted shots yesterday. I am not a shot person to save my life. I am done with those days. Well, they brought out this nice bottle of Tequila that Mom bought in Mexico. She said, “This is for a VERY special occasion and we won’t open it till that day. Either after Taneha has a baby or her first actual Mother’s Day.”
Oh Mom you always know just the right things to say to make me cry yet so happy at the same time. I am so truly thankful for you! You have been the most amazing Mother a daughter could ask for. Like your card said, “you make everything look so easy and always know just what to say.” I can’t wait for the day we get to share Mother’s Day and get to have that shot and yes I will have it.
A friend of mine sent me a really sweet email that she was thinking and praying for me. I sometimes think I am forgotten about on days like Mother’s Day. Kristin, thank you for the email. She also sent me a link as well to a blog of a friend of hers. I can’t even begin to describe the blog you will just have to read it for yourself. I don’t know her at all but want to say thank you. Thank you for putting my hurts and tears into words so others will understand. Thank you for not forgetting the feeling and thank you for reminding me that I am not alone.
I did have a peace this weekend that our life was falling back into place. A peace that finally finally I may soon breathe stress free which may be the answer to so many unanswered problems. I know that one of these Mother’s Days, Father’s Days, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Birthday, whatever it may be I will get to give my family and his family the “present” I have been wanting to give. I know God has not given up on us and has his own plan as hard as it maybe for me to accept.

Persevere
Being tough is not about how hard you can hit. Its all about how hard you can get hit and still keep going... (Always remember!) Sometimes the world is rough... so get tough!

Today's Words of Wisdom
In Psalms 118:24, David writes, "This is the day that the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!" Everyday we must remember positive affirmations. The mind is like the body; if we feed it wrong things, we become sick. Your thoughts are prayers. Thinking right is praying right. (Remember!) 7 days without prayer makes 1 weak!
