Easter

It's been SO long! So, so sorry! I am busy as a bee with all my school work coming to an end. Yesterday was my last day of classes for this semester (woohoo). Now I have two papers left to write and three final exams. I'm so glad to be wrapping this all up! Graduation is May 6th :) I'm sure you can feel my excitement through the computer screen. 

I went to the mall today after work to try and look for an Easter dress. Our mall has a tiny selection of maternity dresses so needless to say I will be wearing the same Easter dress I wore last year because I really just don't feel like driving thirty plus minutes to search for one. I hate trying on clothes. Hate it. Anyways, today was one of those days that things just kind of hit me before I knew it. I was looking through Belk's for my dress and walked right by the baby section. Then it hit me. I should be buying not only myself a dress, but a dress for a perfect little ten month old. I was so excited when I was pregnant with Paisly about her first Easter. I even had a big purple basket that I found the other day when I was looking through the nursery closet. My parents always had gifts for us for Easter and made sure we knew the real reason for the holiday. I was looking forward to passing that on to Paisly. I know next year I will be able to share with Montgomery, and that was another thought I had. I always said that if I had two little girls close to the same age that I refused to dress them alike. Wrong. While I was thinking about the dress for Paisly, I thought that I would be dressing her and Montgomery alike next year. Matching bows and shoes and all. Even those horrible frilly white socks.

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter and remember that it isn't about Easter egg hunts or the bunny. It is about our Lord and Saviour who died for us then rose again. It is because of this that we can have eternal life. I am so thankful.

Showers of Blessings

I must say, I am one blessed woman.  I have been asked how I can say I am blessed after everything that happened with Paisly. How could I say that through Paisly God hasn't blessed my life? Carrying her for eight months was the best thing that ever happened to me. She changed my life beyond measure and although she is not here with me I am so glad that I had her, and I would not change one thing. You might ask if I would change the fact that she isn't here and I would have to say no. Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to have her here with me and listen to her laughs and first words, I would give anything for that; BUT God does everything for a reason. This happened for a reason and his reasons are better than my what ifs so I will leave it at that.

I had started this post to tell how people around me are such blessings but for some reason all of that came out :) Now on to my other blessings... Through this blog I have received emails after emails of people who want to talk or who have had the same things happen to them or something similar and it is so nice to be able to talk to them and share experiences. I also have women who are just blessing me all around and I wanted to return the favor by putting their name out there. One is the owner of Little Teapot Designs, I encourage you to look her up on facebook and look around, she specializes in graphic designs. If you are looking for birth announcements, birthday invitations etc... look her up!  She is being so kind as to give me a birth announcement for Paisly since I never got one, and let me tell you that means so much to me. Little things such as that just warm my heart! Another is HC Photography who is doing my maternity session for us and Montgomery, she takes wonderful photos! Look her up on facebook as well!!! Anyways, I just wanted to share about these to amazing women who are such blessings if you want to know more about them look them up or let me know and I'll get you in contact with them!

There shall be showers of blessing

This is the promise of love

There shall be seasons refreshing

Sent from the Savior above.
