To Just Drive

Every Monday, when your alarm clock goes off, you open your tired eyes and immediately start praying for the weekend.  Monday goes by slow and so does Tuesday. Wednesday, you keep reminding your self, is hump day, your week is almost over. Thursday goes by even slower but Friday is the worst. Friday's clock seems to sit still. Torturing you, because it knows you have people to see, and lots of things to do. Then the hour comes when you're finally free.



Saturday & Sunday, the two days a week you live for! The two days where you get to do anything you want, when you want, How you want! Like dessert for breakfast, and dinner for lunch & breakfast for dinner!!! If you want to sit in your PJ's all day, that's okay, no one can tell you to go change! I wish I did that this weekend, but instead, we did something even better!


Our weekend started with a birthday dinner, that Friday night and if you have never been to Joe's Crab Shack, I strongly suggest you jump on google to find the closest location! Everything about Joe's is amazing! Something happens when you bring together good food & good friends. Laughter comes easily and smiles are contagious. From the moment you step inside you are plunged into the buzzing atmosphere. Every corner vibrates with energy as people all around chatter happily and eat their meals. To say the least, we really enjoyed our self and the company of our friends. The evening rounded off nicely & it was good to be back home to relax.


Lazy Saturday mornings are my favorite. I just love laying with my Love under the covers, hiding from the sun shine that starts peeking through the blinds. Rolling out of bed sometime after nine o'clock to start our day, we fed Boston cereal, and he fed his cereal to the floor. A decent wipe down of both child and tile (don't worry I didn't use the mop on both of them) and we headed up North to visit family. 


Sunday evening; just the three of us driving back home. We turn on our favorite radio stations to sing the songs we love, crack jokes & just talk. After everything is said and done, the sun sets and our conversation dies down. We are all together, but I'm left alone with my thoughts. This is my favorite part of our trip, I get to reflect on the past two days and thank The Lord for all that I have. That list includes, but is not limited to:  My wonderful husband, who loves spending time with me and our son, loves taking us to visit family, loves being a husband and father, and who works so very hard to give us the life we live. My adorable, healthy son Boston, who never stops making me smile with my eyes and laugh with my heart. My belly with such a precious gift growing, from the lord, always putting me in a daze and making me dream of all her potential. My family, whom love me for all my crazy just as much as I love them for all their crazy. 


I am truly Blessed. Tomorrow is a new day at the start of a new week, with a whole new set of adventures and blessings just waiting to be discovered.

Letter to Boston


Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the Plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."





My darling son,
I've loved you from the moment I discovered your existence, I love everything about you. I love you so much that I made a promise to you, to your father, myself and to the Lord: I promise I will always be here for you, to love and hold you, guide you and teach you right from wrong. I swear to you that I will support you in every decision you make, encourage you to be yourself and take risks.  I will show you how to love and how to forgive, how to be a team player and how to let go and live.  I can be here for you to fix your problems for now but I promise I will step aside to let you fix them yourself. I will always be here to offer my advice but I promise I will let you make mistakes so that you may learn for yourself the meanings behind them. There will be days when your life is dark and it may feel like no one is on your side, but I promise you son, I am on your side. I will celebrate with you all your accomplishments and great mile stones in life. I will grieve with you when you fall and I will always, always be here to lend you a hand and help you back up again. I Promise.


Forever & Always, 
Mom
