Failure To The Max

Ok ok! I would so totally not be posting an update right now..but! I have a video to share. If you can't handle pain, the sight of pain, or any of the other such, then leave the page now. ;)
First, the story behind this..
Yesterday while the little ones were napping I grabbed Micah and said "Get your shoes on, we're going for a walk!' Which he then replies, ok I'm taking my bike!" We made it to park and decided to sit for a minute then Micah says "you know what?! I'm going to jump my bike off this table" I said no Micah, you'll only hurt yourself "no no, itll be fine watch!" Ok, your only going to make a fool of yourself. So he puts his bike...well, here, watch the vid! (Oh, walk indeed!)



No worries he is fine. But, this video was fallowed by one hour of "I'm so stupid, what was I thinking!!?"
Oh, and the doctor told him squat, so we still don't know what is wrong with him. I hope you enjoyed this, feel free to laugh if you want. Its ok, mom did first thing she saw it!

Random fact : I like llamas....and sheep

Convention, Micah, Adoption

The convention went very well! Weather was absolutely perfect(well, on the first day anyways) speakers were good and even saw some old friends. The only thing I regret is walking so much, but I press on!

Second day, well second day started out good till Micah came running to my mom saying "mom! mom! I was taking a shower and all of the sudden couldn't see my hands" long story short, he went to the ER they tested him blood sugar below 20(which, is bad!!) and a complex migraine which can mimic a stroke which he thought he was having and he thought he would die, but he didn't. He has a doctor appt. tomorrow, he might be hypoglycemic which can lead to diabetes which again, isn't good. So, we'll see what they say!

Finally,(the wonderful news) the adoption finally took place, Madison, Jaden and Jeremy are now (legally) ours. Always have been, its just they finally decided to actually get it over with! haha
It happened so fast. We got there, were called we sat, then the lady person said "all rise" and just as we were lifting our butts off our seats the judge came in and said, thank you please be seated(so basically we didn't even stand up! haha) signed a few papers and wam bam! Somehow sitting there and going through it, and it being over with already seems like it never happened, but it did!! Praise God!!




Well, I only had a moment,so its time for me to go!

Random Fact: When I was 3 I fell into a fire pit. (well, it was just put out so the pit was still VERY hot) No joke.

God Bless

What You Don't See...

*Please, no more comments on this post/topic. Thank-you.*
What happened to, men/boys opening doors for women, (or anyone) giving up their chairs when there is none if she wishes to sit, saying, "please, take my coat, and no longer suffer in this cold". what happened to the men running a business vs. the women. Oh, their at home cooking dinner?! silly boys. What happened to true gentlemen, where have they gone?! Of course it goes beyond saying, take my seat.
What happened to young ladies wanting to stay home and learn to cook and sew and do all the things they ought. Where are they? Hardly ever do you see a girl in a dress/skirt. I'm not against pants, wear them every so often myself. But, because her parents say so, not what she wants. Where are all the stay at home moms!? Oh, thats right, they sent their kids off to school so they could go have a 'paying job' of their own. What happened to the feminine role?! And, it goes beyond staying at home to cook and clean. Indeed.
Where are the children playing in the streets? The laughter, the joy! Oh, their playing their wiis and xbox360's?! Ok, its all good. Honestly, I'm pretty old fashioned. I like playing board games and things like that. Once in awhile Ill say ok, ok let me have a shot at this wii thing. But, hardly. When it comes down to techie stuff, Ill let others take care of it!
I often think, what if things never changed starting at..oh I don't know, 1850?! I don't think I would mind at all! Seriously! Sure sure, I like my hot running water, my electricity but, besides that. I think people could get by! They did before. ;) I'm not blaming Technology, but I think it plays a big part. Sin, I can blame the sin for woman wanting to take over office, and work in a tiny little booth and men wanting to stay at home and cook and do all the cleaning.
I'm old fashioned. Lets just face it. I mean, who doesn't like a hand written letter! I know I do! So, where is the womanly role, the chivalry and the manly role, the innocent child play!? Where did people put God's will?

Soo, I feel better, you know, after saying all that. haha I think I'll have to do some editing, but later!

Random Fact: I truly am old fashioned. If you haven't guessed yet.

God Bless

Newish Feature

So, if you go down just a bit you will see a newish feature. Its called...dun dun dun.....a playlist! haha Anyways, it has music on it, mainly all my fave worship songs. Anyways if you wish, check it out. Tell me what you think. If you wish. And now when I do a new post I will state one random fact about myself. Why...I don't know(because I can?). haha

Update on Nate and dad, they are in NM and will arrive in about 8hrs or so. Pretty excited!

I have also to say that, on Tues. it was supposed to be our adoption day, but certain people didn't sign certain papers..so the absolute final date is the 27th. yay

Today, we were going to go do a photo shoot somewhere, but after taking one step out side we decided that it was just too humid and hot to do anything outside. So, hopefully another day! We need newer pics of the kids for the album. But, with all circumstances, we'll just wait a few days. lol

Now, I have a pounding headache so, I will.....be back in a few days! :)

:)
Random Fact: I bet you all didn't know this, I'ma sucker for the banjo. Yup!

Nathan

He is coming home!!!! Praise God he is leaving that horrible town. And I am so serious.

Everything that has happened is really personal so I won't be sharing it online. Or maybe not even at all. I'm just going to say that-

Please pray for Nate. Yesterday he went to WI and kinda toured the area a bit and decided to take a hike and then later went back to his Apt. and went to sleep later woke up to not being able to move his body whatsoever and was rushed to the ER.(Dehydration) He then left the hospital this morning to a cab to his house packed his things and ......
My dad is on a plane RIGHT now to go get Nate. He is at the air port there in Millagevill or whatever. Nate couldn't take it anymore. He loves her, but like I said I'm not sharing anything! (on here) So, when my dad gets there they will start their driving journey back home. Honestly, I'm excited to see my brother.
This chapter in his life-closed.

Cried my eyes out Sunday when they prayed for him. Cried almost everyday this week. I guess it just now hit me. But, he is coming home so yay!!!

Thank you all for your prayers.

Hope all is going well with everyone.

God Bless,
Amanda

New Chapter In His Life

Just said goodbye to Nate and dad. Said a prayer, said our goodbyes and hugged those last(for now) hugs and sent them on their way.
This is a new chapter in Nates life as he moves away to start his new job and get closer to Jayci's family and her and used to the place I guess you could say. And shortly in the future a family.
We did end up having a last minute family gathering for him. Ill post pics of that when I have time.
He wasn't supposed to leave till the 15th. But I guess this is just a part of Gods plan!

Prayers would be greatly appreciated as they are driving there.

Thanks!

And may everyone have a blessed Independence day! :)
