So...I am a little slow at this blogging thing.   I am still trying to figure out how to fit it into my busy schedule.   The last 2 weeks have been challenging as I continue to work full time and try to be the best mommy and wife I can possibly be.   We have had asthma attacks, upper respiratory infections, strep, ankle injury and many sleepless nights that were work related.     All that being said, I am thankful that we have survived it all and see brighter days ahead! :-)    (2 Corinthians 12:9)
Jordon is playing t-ball now and let me just say...he is way to active for this slow sport!   He has more fun watching the other kids than he does watching the ball that might come his way!   It is still fun to watch him learn new things and reach new milestones!!!   God has truly blessed me with each of my kids and I am so proud of their accomplishments.

So for those of you who know me, know that I love paula Dean and of course her recipes.   While I may never be as good of a cook  as she is, I vow to be the best Mrs. Cook that I can possibly be!  

Life has proven to be full of changes for me.   While I am one to embrace change, some have been harder to deal with than others.  Career changes, church changes, changes in the family dynamic, new home, etc...The list goes on and on.   One thing that has remained my source of strength is my Faith in God.   He promised to never leave me nor forsake me and even when I pulled away, He was always there!!  

One month ago I married the man of my dreams, David Cook.   A man who accepts me for who I am, failures and all!  We are looking forward to what God has in store for us as a married couple and know that He will us to impact many!   We heard a message last night (thank you Crossroads church for hosting Youthquest) and the main point was God has you right where you are for a reason!!   It amazes me how He can use one little phrase to impact you in a major way...I know I went through the things in my past because God had a plan!   While I may not understand it now, I know that one day it will be revealed in a mighty way.  
So, as the changes continue to take place in our lives, we will remember that God has us right where we are for a reason... What a comforting thought!
