Yesterday was one of the most sweetest days I've ever had... Dustin got us all up and fed and we got to church on time... it was raining though :( In lieu, of Mothers Day, they were honoring 5 mothers with red rose corsages. They all had different "titles" and mine happened to be "the mother with the youngest child" I was so honored to get to stand up in front of the church and be pinned with a beautiful Red rose! I was giving an opportunity to say something... but being the last lady to say something, all those cheesy things had already been said... except for one.... talking about my mother. I said how I was so thankful that my mother was such a Godly mother and that she focused on raising us right! Now that I've got my soap box, maybe I can include those "cheesy" things the other ladies said... :)
It takes many wonderful things to happen in order to be a mother. First, God has to chose you- and I'm so glad he chose ME to be Pressley's mother. I hope that I can totally fulfill Proverbs 31. Secondly, it takes a mate, Dustin has such a beautiful heart. He's such a hard worker at everything he does, I often sit back and am amazed that God matched me with such a "Go-Getter"... not that I am lazy or lack motivation, but I know God has big plans for us.
Thirdly, it takes a child... mine being a dream, although yesterday, we was everything but a dream, she makes everything better. She IS my cherry on top!
So now that I've been on my soap box for a paragraph, I hope that will do. My heart is so full of each one of those things that my little blog couldn't hold everything!
Dustin, Pressley and I went to Yoshida's Japanese Restaurant for Mothers Day Dinner ... I knew that some quiet little restaurant wouldn't do with Prissy there so I chose something, loud and entertaining... and thats exactly what it was! It turns out, that my boss and his family were at our table too! So we had such a wonderful time during lunch!
After lunch we stopped by Dustin's parents house to say hello and hang out before "dessert" and I recieved my Mothers day gift... Prissy gave me a handfull of "lemon drop" candies... for all those mouth puckering things I put in her mouth, she thought it only be fitting! :)
Dustin gave me this beautiful silver, pearl & diamond cross necklace. He wanted me to know that everything that incompasses the cross is what we need to focus on... what a sweetie!
After presents, we went and said hello to "nanno" Dustin's Grandmother... she had a gift for Prissy and wanted to give it to her. She gave Prissy her very first Bible. Look at her excitement!
