The scientific approach to choosing a winner…
Me: Lucas, pick a number between one and eight.
Lucas: 10
Lucas: I mean, why?
Lucas: ummmmmmm…. seven.
Lucas: why?
Me: You just picked the winner for my blog contest.
Lucas: What do I get?
LOL!!
#7 is Carrie @ Martin Manor Happenings!! Congratulations!! Carrie is a faithful blog friend, who has played along with me about every week I can remember! I am thrilled that she is the winner! Let me know where you would like a gift certificate to and I will get one on it’s way to you!
************************************
So, after a year of writing these moments, I find myself with a question or two… do I keep counting the weeks? like 53, 54, 55?? Is that what I do? Or do I just go to calling it a generic “YOUR Gonna Miss This… Moment”? Any thoughts?
I also find that it is one of those weeks when I wonder what I have to miss? I miss not freezing at football games! I miss not having grumpy kids…
How about missing having 2, 5 year olds… for the past month Jadon and Kiahna have both been 5 years old… On Monday Jadon will turn 6!
Somehow I need to pull together a birthday celebration of some sort. I have nothing ready! Oops! Been too busy trying to figure out how to run a photography business to do much of anything but the necessary!
I need to work on that. I need to get balance back in my life. I need to let God lead rather than trying to run ahead & figure it all out… I know that… doing that is a different story.
Even though the week has been long, and mom is stressed out… my children are precious & I will miss these days… fleeing by so quickly…
So, GO AC FOOTBALL! Happy Birthday Jadon! Take a deep breath self. Headed to the Extraordinary Women Conference tomorrow for the day with ladies… looking forward to that!
Now, your chance to share… what will YOU miss?

I stopped by your blog to verify that you were still hosting your Wed. "theme day".
In case you aren't sure why I would do that, please first go here: http://thehousethatlovebuilt.xanga.com/712911712/today--/
and then read this one:

I see that you still are, and I encourage you to keep going! Why? It's proven to be a great way for you to have to document your life. And that was the whole purpose behind it, right?
For a 'quick' B-day idea - be spontanious. Do something you all enjoy doing, but seldom do - whether that be letting him pick the meal or a resteraunt, playing board games as a family, instead of cake bake brownies and then let everybody build their own ice cream sundae on top ....

oops, when I copied it from my draft file, I forgot to change the word Wed. to Fri. 8-/
Sorry!!

Thanks to Lucas for picking me :)
I know you will have an awesome time at the conference...some much needed time to reflect and refresh :)
As far as a gift card...I'm always at Target or Old Navy or Starbucks or...surprise me...I'm terrible with decisions! I will email you my info! And thanks so so much!
