Yesterday was my 30th birthday. I actually prefer to call it "the first anniversary of my 29th birthday." Well, whatever I choose to call it, I have been on earth for 30 years. I started thinking back and listing some blessings so I thought I would share.
God gave me to two wonderful people to call their daughter. I was then blessed with my sister and brother. I enjoyed a wonderful childhood and grew up in a godly home. We attended services at a small, sovereign grace chuch where we are still members. My parents, however, last year they felt God's leading to seek fellowship else where. We are still praying for God's leadership in our lives regarding this matter. I graduated high school in '99 and continued my education at Richland college where I would meet my husband.
In 2000, Matt and I were married in our church. We built a home and our lives together. We both continued our educations. Matt attended UTD to complete his masters, and I graduated with my associates and transfered to UTD to complete my bachelor's degree. Matt completed his master's and continued his doctoral studies, while I graduated in 2007 with my BA all while I worked in dentistry.
God blessed me with an amazing opportunity to work in an amazing periodontal practice. God knew they were a good fit for me, and I matured and grew so much while I worked. They supported and encouraged me while I worked 30+ hours a week and took 15 credit hours at UTD. They were such a blessing. After 7 years, I resigned as a surgical assistant to welcome our little boy in 2008.
May 2008, Ian was born, and God made a way for me to stay home to care for our baby boy. August 2009, on Matt and I's 9th anniversary, we learned we were going to be parents a second time! We welcomed our sweet baby girl, Clara in March 2010 just before Matt took an offer as full-time faculty in the history department at Eastfield College.
I just wanted to share some amazing blessings I have experienced in my 30 years. I am still seeking God's will for my life, and I pray God has many more blessings in store for my family and me.

Just a light dusting...
We are snowed in again today! Well, the meteorologists either over or under predict weather events. It seems they usually make a big deal, get everyone hyped up and then nothing happens. Ugh. This time, they under predicted. So a 32% chance of snow, occuring mainly to south sounds like we'll dodge the bullet, right? Then the chance went to 50% later in the evening. At 10:00 p.m. the snow was actually tracking due north, an hour ahead of schedule,and the chance jumped to 100%. No big deal though because it was just going to be a "dusting." Maybe we would get 1-2 inches. Okay! We awoke to around 5-6 inches, and it has continued to snow ALL DAY LONG! We still have quite a bit of ice disguised by beautiful, fluffy snow.
We are still thanking God for our family and warm house. We are starting to run low on food and milk, but Daddy has indicated he will brave the treacherous roads to scrounge up some grub. Love you, Daddy!
Check out the snow!!

Snowed In
So far the kiddos have done well playing, eating and napping so I am thankful for that too. I know they are getting tired of hanging out at home. I try to take them out every day, at least for an hour, when we have nice weather. The library, pet store, Hobby Lobby and Target are among Ian's top favorite places to go. Oh well...I suppose we can catch up on all of that next week. Maybe not! They are calling for more cold temperatures and mixed precipitation so we may be stuck home again! What do you do, right?
I am thanking God tonight for our family, home, heat, food (yummy stuff we've been making), television (to break things up) and our computers!!! God is so good to us!
