My grandma was the most beautiful people

here on this earth.  She went on to heaven to be

with my great grandma on July 2nd, 2010 at 10:55am.

She will truly be missed.

My grandma touched the lives of many and

didn’t expect anything in return. She always made sure

she fixed our favorite food when we came down to visit.

She kept a smile on her face during the good times and the bad.

This song means more than ever…

Grandma, I love you and I miss you! I enjoyed every minute

that I got to spend with you.

Father’s Day 2010 has been a rough one. I am sitting here thinking about what an awesome dad my husband is to our girls. Happy in that aspect.  On the other side of things, realizing my father wasn’t a father. He feels dead to me. Right now my earthly father is sitting in jail facing charges on sexual assault on a minor and a few more charges that I can’t think of at the moment. He has done it before and only gotten parole and he has to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.  Try explaining to your kids why we don’t go visit their grandfather.  My father has walked this road once before and now he might have a harsher sentence this time. Wow, after all that I have been through realizing that the man that we saw day after day growing up wasn’t a father, is hard to comprehend. I have done alot of crying off and on today.

I am thankful that the Lord is Ps. 65:5 where it says- Father to the fatherless, defender of widows–this is God, whose dwelling is holy.

Just keep this in mind, your Heavenly Father, isn’t nothing like your earthly father.

Someone who holds the keys to the hearts of

his daughters’ and wife’s.

A father is someone who understands what

you are going through and gives you advice

needed or not.

A father is someone who has the strength of a lion.

But is a gentle soul like a dove.

Your kids look up to you.

A father is someone who defends his own.

Hopes for the best in everyone.

A father is someone who loves unconditionally.

Happy father’s day!!!

So happy summer everyone! Be safe and stay cool and dry.  Enjoy the pool whenever you can.

On another note, someone broke into our car early Monday morning. They took the stereo and Christina’s clarinet, we placed the clarinet in there so that we could take it back cause she was through playing it. Did I mention that the clarinet cost 1700 bucks and we were renting it. Well we got a police report done. Now I just wished the officer would call us back so that we could give them the serial number off the clarinet so that we won’t be charged for it.  But he won’t return our calls. I call him every day since this has happened.

Next  month, in mid month we will be moving out of this place. I pray it is some place safe, nice, and cheap.

That’s all for now!!!

Saturday, we just chilled out around the house and about 7ish we went to the pool and watch the kids swim.  I wished I had my camera. Emmalee was jumping in the 8ft part of the pool.  Yes she had floaties on. But it was still so cool to watch her. Some of the people there were really amazed that she would just jump like that in the deep end of the pool.

Sunday, we got up and cooked breakfast. Then we got ready to go horse back riding at one of Jeremy’s co-worker’s house. The horse’s name was Valentine. He was a very gentle horse.  The girls really enjoyed it and had fun.

Monday, which is tomorrow, we are going to grill out. I plan on grilling some steak and hamburgers. I might decide to take the girls to the pool if they are nice to me. LOL!!!

So looks like it has been and will be a good Memorial Day weekend.

Please remember our fallen soldiers and all of the soldiers who are still on the front lines serving our country.

Jeremy and I were 18 and 16 when we got married.  We had a lot of nay sayers at the beginning. People would say that our marriage would not last 5 years or so. Looking back, I wonder if any of those people where taking bets on how long we would last.

Jeremy and I started dating on Dec. 22,1994. About a few months into dating, we realized that we wanted to be with one another forever. Our plans were for him to go to college and me graduate high school.  Then, we will get married.  So in April 1995, we found out we were pregnant. Man I was scared. Jeremy was so strong.  We knew we loved each other. We knew we wanting to be together. But our plans, got all jacked up. LOL!  So on May 20th, 1995, in front of our family and friends, we said ‘I do‘; one day after he graduated high school.

The first 15 years we have seen our ups and downs. But we learn to work through the downs. I love my husband so much. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Let me say, that marriage isn’t a joke. It isn’t a fairy tale. You both have to work for that happy marriage. You both should be there for one another. Be each others friend. Take time out for just the two of you. Most and importantly be trustworthy and honest.

Here’s to many more anniversaries babe!

I love you!

All she wanted to do was jump in the bouncy house and play games!!

All she wanted to do was bounce

So anyways, that is just the start of our May month. My momma is suppose to be in town next week… I am gonna take her site seeing.

I got a new camera for my anniversary which is on the 20th of May. Jeremy and I will be together for 15 years. People said that it wouldn’t work. Man did we fool them. They just don’t know how stubborn we were.

So I am got plenty of opportunities to use my new camera.

This is a picture of my new camera.  It is so cool!

MY samsung dual view!

As you can see alot going on in the Weiss family house hold.

Love always,

amanda

and in Exodus 14:14 it says to, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Sometimes this life’s problems are being thrown all around me, and all I want to do is try to handle these problems on my own.  Yesterday, I turned in our notice letter that we, as a family will not be renewing our lease.  Well let me rewind a bit. We moved into the apartment that we are in using the judgment of  pictures on the internet. The management before the management that has taken over, said that we would have two swimming pools, fitness center, a clubhouse with a movie theater and a billards room. Man we were mistaken. The two swimming pools are here on the grounds, but one of them was broken and the other one was closed most of the summer last year. The other amenities were at the sister property located about 2 miles from here. We didn’t find this out until we signed our lease.  So back before March, I had been trying to find another place on my own, no direction from the Father above.  Here recently just realize that I just need to be content in the place that I am now. Yeah it may not be the perfect place but we signed a lease so should be content.  So here we are today, I now know, that in all things we should be content. We should just be still and know that God is working for us. In His time, He will have the right place for us.

We go through life struggling, when we all reality there should be no struggle.  When we be still and be content in the place we are now, turn it all over to the LORD; He will fight for us.

So we have 2 months left here in this apartment, We will let God show me and Jeremy where we need to be.

Not my will but God’s will be done.

Thanks for reading,

Amanda
