I absolutely LOVE these girls!!!
They were sooo funny today riding around in their jeeps!! lol They usually ride together in the bigger one and today this is how they rode...they kept giggling just looking at each other!! They had me cracking up all morning! Just had to have been there....but Im soo thankful I get to do this everyday. Getting to watch them grow and learn and live is simply amazing!! I cant wait to see how they'll be as they grow..they have their 'sisterly fights' now but they are best friends. Its too precious!! I just LOOOVE it!!!

Honesty..

This post was brought on bc of a devotion I read last night...


I have a really really bad habit of wanting to control situations. Wanting to plan. Wanting to know every little tiny detail. And NOT liking change. Ok, HATING change. Somethings I dont mind being spontaneous, but for the most part Im a freak about it. LOL! I have a really hard time just letting things happen. I plan EVERYTHING. Well, I try to. And as we all know, you cant always have/get what you want. Things dont always go the way you 'planned' them to. Over the past couple of months Ive felt God showing me just how BAD I am at trying to do/be something that is impossible. But yet I keep doing it. I write down everything. If I have something to do/get/be (or whatever)..it gets written down. I then proceed to check these things off. Yes, my life is one big check list. lol I can honestly remember doing this in middle school. (if I asked my mom, it was probably earlier! haha!) And I finally admitted to myself last night that this can be a problem. Sometimes its ok to plan. But its def not ok to be a 'planner'...aka: control freak haha (as I am..writting, checking, freaking..lol) And since things dont go as planned always, there comes the CHANGE. Did I mention I HATE CHANGE?? To the point where, at times I'll freak out if things dont go 'as I thought they should/were going to'. BUT God has recently flipped my world upside down. The things I were so sure on a couple of months ago now seem to float somewhere in outter space..way out of my reach/knowledge. But I know, in reality they rest safely in God's hands. In His control. HE knows it all. How wonderful it is that if we follow, trust, and obey...He will make plain our paths. Meaning, He will tell us what is going on!!! lol No need to worry or guess or 'freak out'. HE will give us wisdom!! In this time the things I was sure on have chaged but also the things I wasnt sure on have too. Things like...I CAN fully trust my God. I dont have to just SAY I can. Struggles and trials are meant to test & stretch your faith. Give you a chance to walk the walk & not just talk the talk. AND I also use to think I wasnt a very strong person. I have realized that being 'emotional' and being weak ARENT the same things. I am a very VERY emotional person. BUT I also have became a very strong Christian woman. ((somewhere along the line...haha)) I didnt realize I could be so strong if/when facing certain situations or problems and I must say, (with God on my side of course) Ive been very impressed. haha!! God has helped me stay focued on the things that matter and stay the course. Not giving up. And it feels AMAZING!!!! I also use to be terrified of change and now Im realizing that change is God's plan. He created us to grow as babies and children into adults. He also wants us to change & grow as we become His Children. Growth and change is a continuous process. And change is inevitable. You just have to embrace it and go with it. With God and His wisdom, its not so scary. And sometimes, it turns out to be just what we needed. Something better than we ever 'planned'.

So, two Sundays ago we went to see Easton Corbin at Lake Winnie. Lucky was planning on going back for the second show later that evening but I was only staying for the first show..bc, well..Im not a stalker. LOL! And bc I didnt want to waste a whooole day seeing the same concert over. Weeell. At the first show the guy who was selling merchandise tells me and my sister if we come back to the second show we could have meet & greet passes. Um, WHAT!? So I test out his word & we came back for the second show and GOT MEET & GREET PASSES!!!! ((Easton is pure hottness too. I didnt know this until Sunday lol!)) Then we sat on the first row (bc we had to be there an hr before the show to go backstage) And during the show he just decides to pull me and my sister up on stage. OK, heres what really happened..haha he said 'who likes to play the cowbell?' and this older lady standing next to us says 'you do! you do!! trust me! you want to play the cowbell!!' LOL! then Lucky yells 'whooo!' ((bahaha!)) and he says.. 'get up here!' then Lucky proceeds to JUMP onto the stage instead of going to the side where there is a man to help her...HAHAHAHA!! then says 'both of you, come on' and yeah. we got to play..dun dun dun..THE COWBELL with Easton Corbin!!! lol It made for a pretty awesome day. :)

*We had the whole band smiling for pictures by the end of this..lol! It was so much fun!!
