Princess in the making

Poker Night tonight

Well, it's at our house tonight - I haven't won in forever so I hope I'm in for a fun night of lots of chips. :) We have a fun group of sweet friends coming over at 7 for dinner and drinks and cards - life is good.

Speaking of, I have truly begun to be very very thankful for everything in our lives. I have had a run of bad luck over the last several months (identity theft - purse stolen, car accident - kids not in car, broken air conditioner, broken dryer, flat tire, broken cell phoneS (plural - 2/3 were my fault though).

After analyzing all the "gremlins" (as my sis-in-law coined them) I realized that God was trying to tell me that I'm not thankful enough.
I have my/my husband's health.
I have a devoted and loving husband who was born to be an incredible daddy and husband.
I have two healthy girls.
I have siblings galore who are a huge part of our lives.
We have parents who are a big part of our (and our kids!) lives
I have a great relationship/friendship with my Mom.
We have lots of friends that we see often.

Life is indeed good.
Praise Him - life is good.

Fun lake weekend

We had a blast at the lake last weekend with Carly and Tom and their new baby Luke! My camera is in the shop so I have no pictures from the past month or so, but Carly took this one last weekend. Poker Night is at our house tomorrow night (gasp - tomorrow) and this house is upside down! I am in shock that there are only 2 more weeks left of summer vacation, but have had such a wonderful summer with my girls.
