Busy weekend-

We had such a busy weekend! Saturday we celebrated Ruthie's 2nd birthday! We had 25 guests show up. She wasn't too sure about everyone singing Happy Birthday to her, so she cried! She got her smile back during gift time! She loves every gift she received and has enjoyed playing with them all weekend!

Here are a few pics from her party!







As you can tell, she had tons of fun!

Sunday was a busy day as well. Sunday morning, Randall got baptized! When we decided to join our church, they asked if he would be baptized, since he had never been before! It was amazing, and I was so proud of him!

Afterwards, we went and had lunch at Grandad's with Pops, Granny (or Mimi as Ruthie calls her!), Aunt Steph, Uncle Ski, Amethyst, Uncle Bobby, and Aunt Jeannie! We had so much fun!

Sunday night's sermon was great. Brother Troy went on discussing about prayer. I have really truly enjoyed learning about prayer. When I have more time, I plan on putting some of my notes into a post. I have learned so much in the past few months! Brother Troy was talking about our revival and proceeded to talk about a young man becoming a man of honor by taking a huge step and getting baptized! It made Randall and I both feel like we made the right decision in joining the church. I am so proud of Randall!

Speaking of revival.....our revival is this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you don't mind, please say a prayer, so that we are able to bring lost souls into the church and allow God to work His mighty charm on them! I am so looking forward to going! I can't wait to get that spark in me again! Tonight and tomorrow night we are having cottage prayer meetings. I don't think we will be able to make it, b/c we don't have a sitter, but I will be praying for our revival around 6:30 with them, just in my own home!

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART!!!

Wow. Time has gone by so fast. My baby girl is two today. She is so grown up. She wants to do everything herself. "No, I do it Mommy!" She does it all so well too! She had a sleepover last night with her cousins. She had so much fun! She hardly cried, and when she woke up, they sang Happy Birthday to her. What a beautiful little girl I have. She is just everything to me and her father. We adore every moment with her. I miss her being so little, yet I adore watching her grow and learn. I love you sweetheart.

Members!

Randall and I finally decided to join the church that we have been attending for the last 5 months. I told him that when he was ready, so was I. I have been more often then him, so I feel more comfortable there. His schedule doesn't allow him to go every time. Wednesday night, he grabbed me by the hand and nodded. I was so excited! We finally found a home! Ruthie loves going too! Every time I tell her, "let's get ready," she always asks, "going to church?" What sweet words those are! I love hearing that! She hardly cries. It is such an amazing experience to raise your child to know and adore Him as much as we do.

Our "Love & Respect" classes are still going. Last Monday night was more directed to the women, and it was amazing. It had me in tears. He pointed out all the things that I do to Randall, that has him thinking that I don't respect him. I do respect him. It's just that when I say certain things, all he thinks is that I don't. I have learned so much so far and I can't wait for the next one. The 2nd Monday night was more directed to the men. Dr. Emerson Eggerichs said everything I have been trying to say for the past 4 years. Randall got it too. We had a good marriage, but it is even better now. He is doing things that is not in his nature to do, he is just being a man of honor. Words can't describe how much it has helped! If you ever get a chance to see or attend a seminar, please do, whether your marriage is awesome or no. He makes the learning process funny as well.

My baby turns two tomorrow. Where did the time go? She is such an amazing girl. More to come tomorrow.........
