OOOOOO MEEE FEEEET!!!!!


OOOOO the swelling...
OOOOO the pain...

ok, it may not be thaaat bad, yet! But its getting there! And NO that is not a picture of my foot. I just kind of thought i would make you all feel sorry for me for a second. Yes, my feet are starting to swell, and no it has nothing to do with my salt intake either! i don't care what anybody says about that! i have heard that this is completely normal during pregnancy so that makes me feel NO much better (i know that is poor english, mom, but it was purposely written that way). My doctor explained that its just water retention and that i need to drink more water and keep my feet up!? where do these doctors get these crazy notions anyway? DRINIK MORE WATER?!?!?!?! Doesn't he know i'm already running to the bathroom every 20 minutes... that every time i sneeze i squirt?!!!??? apparently my doctor has never been through this before -but for some odd reason i listen (and try to obey) everything he says. (HA! that was funny)

Thank you Sis. Chrissy for bringing up Pastor White's sermon on Dreams and Memories. This will be a message that will forever be engraved in my mind. I cannot tell you how deeply that sermon struck home for me. It seems like all of us at one point have made our memories greater than our dreams. I'm just glad that God has placed such a special pastor in my life to remind me of something so important. I pray that God helps me to always remember to make sure my dreams are always greater than my memories.

I wish i could tell you how many dreams i have for my future and the future of my family. these dreams have been mine ever since i was a little girl pushing my dollies in strollers and playing church in the garage with lawn chairs and karaoke mics with Jessica and Heather (my cousins). Dreaming of marrying a preacher... singing specials, playing the piano, and worshipping with my whole heart while holding my little dolly close to me... These were things that i did as a little girl, and i thank God that he has kept me till now so that these dreams can become reality for me. My dreams have become so much greater and i have so many things that still need to come to pass in my life. This little one is such a big piece of the puzzle. This little one is my dream! This little one is my miracle!

Ahh, Breanna!
Your young dreams were so sweet! I remember being baptized repeatedly in our swimming pool and making sure my dolls all dressed modestly! It's such a privilege to be raised in the church, God is so good to keep us and bring our dreams to pass. And He usually does more than we've ever dreamed!

Hey.......speaking of dreams.....have you read the book called "The Last Lecture"? Sounds pretty inspirational........you have a few months left of reading time..........
and then, well, you can forget reading for a while after little baby arrives!
