I Love So Strong

April 3, 2009 by 1 Comment

loveI was watching ER tonight and I got super emotional.  A man lost his wife after they had been together for 72 years.  Can you imagine 72 years.  To loss something you have had for 72 years day in and day out.  I can’t imagine how broken his heart must feel.  How lonely he must all the sudden feel.

This month Jim and I will be married 5  years and together longer.  I can’t even begin to think or imagine all the sudden never seeing him, never holding him in my arms, never looking into his beautiful eyes and telling him I love him.  And it is not even close to 72 years.

It is so amazing that God Created Jim for me.  Sometimes my love is so strong that it really does hurt.  It hurts to be away from him.  I get scared if I can’t get a hold of him.  I worry when he does not call me on is break.  No you can say I am obsessed and I will tel you I am.  I am truly utterly in love with my husband.

I sometimes struggle to be the wife God created me to be. I sometimes struggle to tell him I love him after we have fought.  But I need to think of how I would feel if I did not tell him I loved him as he walked out the door.  So reminder to myself.  Always say I love you and don’t go to bed mad.

What's Wrong With us Today

February 7, 2009 by Leave a Comment

So here it is a Saturday and we are all wondering what we are going to be doing today.  I need to work on getting some sewing done, I have to work on my Crafty Mom Blog, I have to get some post written for my Time Saver VA site and much more.  But I just can’t decided what to do.

I asked the family like four times now what do you guys want to do today?  I don’t know is the only answer I get.  Haylee wants to record a web show that I can put up on Little Hand Big Heart. Jim has gone to the man cave  to do some work.  So what does that leave mom to do.  Should I sew, should I work on somethings I need to get done online.  AHHHHHHHH help I don’t know what to do and this is so unlike me.

Oh I also wanted to let you know that Crafty Mom Blog is going to be having a Valentine Contest Next week so make sure you stop by there and enter to win.

Also I wanted to give you this free report of Simple Ways to Say I Love You.

MY FIL

July 2, 2008 by 3 Comments

PhotobucketToday is the day. The day we lost Jim’s dad in 2004. We lost him just three months after we were married. I love Dad (charlie) as much as I loved my own father. I had lost my dad two years before. And once I meet Jim’s Dad I totally feel in love with him. We moved to Auburn to be closer to Dad. I remember the day we found him like it was yesterday.

We had just seen Dad two days before. It was a nice visit. I made sure as always before we left that Haylee gave grandpa Charlie a huge hug and told him she loved him. I also reminded Jim as we got into the vehicle to say I love you to his Dad. That was very important because I had lost my Dad so I knew it was important to always say I love you. I yelled I love you out the car window as we drove off.

Jim had just left to go take Mariah to her friends house and then was going down to talk to his Dad. He had not heard from his Dad since that two days before. Right after Jim left I got this awful sick heart ache and knew I had to go down to Jim’s Dads. Don’t ask me how but I knew something was wrong. I knew I needed to be there. Needless to say I got into the pickup and broke the speed limit to get down there. I just keep thinking no Jim you can’t do this by yourself. I was out of the truck as Jim was walking to the door yelling, “Stop, wait for me, You can’t do this by yourself.” He of course was looking at me like I was crazy. We knocked on all the doors. We knew he was home because his vehicles were all there. Jim went around to Dad’s Bedroom window and, turned to me and said, “It is ok, I can see him, He is just taking a nap.” I could hear Jim yelling at his dad to wake up and I ran across the street to call 911 I knew. I knew before that.

Long story short, Jim crawled into the house and Dad was gone. Dad was diabeftic and his sugar got too low. I was there with Jim for every moment. And Jim has thanked me a thousand times for being there for him.

God told me to be there. God told me my husband needed me. God is amazing and I am so Happy to know that Dad is up in Heaven living with Our Father. Dad was an amazing man and there are times when I see a face my husband makes that reminds me so much of my father in law. Dad was so funny, and always in a good mood. He was always working on something. He loved to be out in the garage. He loved to work on cars and just about anything else that he could get his hands on or convince you to let him work on.
