Sometimes you get a special card that touches your heart...... I am sharing part of my Valentine's card from Scott.

I asked the Lord

to bless me

with an angel

in my life.....

A woman

I could treasure

as a loving friend

and wife.

And so you came

from Heaven

as the answer

to my prayer.

And changed

my world forever

through the precious

love we share.

The longer we're married

the more I can see

What a wonderful blessing

your love's been to me.

The longer we're married,

the more I'm aware,

When I asked for an angel,

God answered my prayer.

I will love you Always and Forever because you are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me .

Love,

Scott

Happy 30th Valentine's Birthday!

Today is my sweetheart's 30th birthday. Wow it doesn't seem like its really been 9 yrs since we first met. He is my best friend....my soul mate....the other half of me. He's the one who knows my worries, hopes, dreams, and joys. He knows how to make me laugh when I feel like crying and he knows how to comfort me when I'm down. He pretends to like my cooking when sometimes its not the best. He keeps me grounded but lifts me up. He's my prince charming.... my one and only.

We tried to make this b'day extra special by showering him with gifts and goodies. Raegan and I even sang to him! I got him a new tackle box that he said he NEEDED and of course some clothes that he said he didn't need (I disagree) and then gave him money for a new rifle scope. I made homemade (all the way from scratch) biscuits and gravy, bacon, and hashbrowns for breakfast. I am making a cake later!!!!

Although this is his special day we also wanted to LOVE on little Raegan and let her know how special she is to us. She has been wanting some Minnie Mouse sippy cups for a while so we got her the cups, plate, bowl, and silverware set. We also found some really cute Minnie pj's that were hard to resist. What's Valentine's without a little candy? We got her a small pac of M&M's (her fave). She was so excited. I'll have to post some pics later.

Happy Valentine's Day !!!!!!

Flor is coming home soon!

Update: We went to the airport to meet precious Flor and her mommy Amanda. She is adorable in every way. There were soooo many people there.... It was nice to meet some of the blogger community and see their little ones. Raegan was amazed by all the little girls.

My friend Amanda is bringing her sweet daughter Flor home Friday. Please be praying that everything goes smoothly with their travel and adoption finalization. Stop by their blog to congratulate them.

Positive Update

Grandaddy is doing much better. He is alert and beginning to communicate more. We visited him yesterday and he was completely aware that we were there. Raegan loved on him more than she ever has. We have been told that he will be dismissed on Feb. 20th. At this point, we are hoping that he gets to come home. We feel that he can get the best care at home. The facilities that he has been at before have not provided the best care for him. It will be hard work for everyone, especially my grandmother. Her dedication to him is an example of true love. She is willing to care for him as long as she can which is such a sacrifice on her part. She is one incredible woman and I love her very much.

Visiting Grandaddy

We visited Grandaddy yesterday and he slept through our entire 2 hr visit. He didn't even know that we were there. He was up for 12 hours before he went to bed and they worked him really hard with therapy. They are getting him into an early routine startig at 6 am every day. Raegan got to visit with Grammy which was good for the both of them. She really misses Grammy. She almost won't let her put her down and if she does then she runs right back to her to give her kisses. She has been spending some quality time with my dad and she is getting a little attached to him which I am glad to see. She is happy staying with him and doesn't cry for momma as much. He has kept her some since her other Grandaddy and Grandmomma have been sick. Raegan is talking up a storm....when she wants to. Tonight we called to check on them and she was talking on the phone telling them all the new words she is learning. Too funny because sometimes they come out a little different than you expect. I'll have to post a video clip soon. She is growig up way too fast! I just can't believe it sometimes. Her Daddy and I are just in awe of her. Parenting her is definitely a rewarding job. Speaking of new parenting...
My friend Amanda just found out that she will be bringing her daughter Flor home next weekend. She has waited a long time for this day. Jump over to her blog and congratulate her.
