Parents

It makes me so mad some parents can send their children dressed how they do.
Their are children in rags while their parents smoke pot, drink and gamble.
Then their are the little girls who have their bodies displayed to the world by their parents.
They don't need the bikini's, they don't need shorts as small as their knickers, or tops showing their bellies.
Dang I wish parents would be parents and take some responsibility.

Reaching Out

Yesterday i had a meeting with one of the pastor's in our church.
For months i had felt something inside of me, needing to speak with her.
But each time i let fear dismiss the idea and went about life.
Until the other day i realised if i don't make the appointment i am not going to go.. and i couldn't skip out on an appointment with the Pastor.

Yesterday i went to the appointment and we talked for about an hour, discussing a range of different things.
And by the time i left i had agreed to see her every 3 weeks for 12 months.
Our discussion wasn't bad, but it was deep.
I felt like i was able to talk, and that she was listening.
By the time i left the appointment i was able to process what we had spoken about and look forward to building a relationship with my pastor.

Yes i think having a relationship with your Pastor is important.
This is the first church i have attended full time, and it has taken 11 months to make an appointment to really talk to a Pastor.
I am proud of myself.

Because yesterday i wanted to advoid the appointment, but i challenged myself in.
I was honest, upfront and told her how i felt (even that i was scared of being there).

In the next 12 months i can see myself hopefully working through some things with the Pastor, things to prepare me for the future, for my marriage, for my life.... Spiritually, emotionally and mentally..

Lachie Is 2

Hi everyone.
Most of you know by now that Lachlan turned 2 on the 19th september.
On sunday the 17th september we had a lunch for him.
Allan came to church and came over for dinner.
Lami cooked a heaps yummy roast lamb and potato bake.
Lami also made the birthday cake.. YUMMY
It was a marbeled mudcake... *gets hungry at the thought*

And then he got weirded out about the snake..
I think he thought it was a live worm.. lol

And then the present from Allan.

I will post some again soon some more pictures from on his actual birthday, i just have to put them on the computer :o)

I can't believe my little man is 2 already..
I love him heaps though!!!
Even when he gets me grumbly..

Engaged

On saturday the 9th september 2006, I got engaged.
It was one of those moments a girl dreams of.
Except maybe i was a little bit too nervous!!

I got to the train station and seen Allan waiting with a rose.
He told me he had something very important to ask and then led me from the walk way.
He got down on one knee with the rose laying in his hands and asked me to marry him!!!

Of course i said yes..
Being a rather introverted person it was a full on proposal.
I felt the eyes of the strangers around me.
But i managed to look at Allan and pretend he was the only one there.

For me my head is spinning and my heart is full.
I love Allan so much.
Most of all i am thankful to God for bringing Allan into my life.
I knew it was all with his timing, i guess it is as they say.. when you least expect it.

I am going to say thank you to Lami also.
Babe your a sister and a best friend to me.
You are a beautiful Princess and i appreciate everything you are doing within mine and Allan's life.
(((hugz)))

At the moment Allan and i are looking at getting married in October next year!!
