IF I STAY UP ALL NIGHT WILL THE MORNING COME FASTER,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

* tomorrow we are going on a very exciting trip. we are taking the girls to disney world. i am so excited. we have never gone on a big vacation like this before as a family. david and i have been married for 20 years and this will be the third big trip that we have been on. i really don't know who is more excited!!!! the girls are so excited. i really don't know if i will be able to sleep tonight.

* we are going to be there for 8 days. we are staying inside the park. we are also going to hit every park and do everything. we really love water parks so we are gong to do both of those. might make it easier to handle the heat and the humidity.

* i am most excited about seeing disney world through my daughter's eyes. experiencing the rides with them and all of the shows.

* i am so excited that david is going to get to go with us!!!!! for a while there he was not going to be able to go. but praise God, he is getting to go. i want so many wonderful memeories to come out of this trip for the girls.

* i will be sure to take lots of pictures and post them. here and on my face book.

* i took the kids from our church to camp this past week. what a blast we had. we went to dry gulch in ok. it was awesome. this was bekahs first time to go. she absolutely loved it. hannah loved it as well, however, it was her 4th time to go to church camp. we are beginning to make a real home here. we are starting to build relationships with a few of the people from our church and our neighbors.

* life is beginning to make sence around here. there are still places in my heart that are hollow. but now they don't ache as much. learning to live with out your family and friends is a challenge, but God is faithful.

* my girls really love the church we are going to and are beginning to feel at home there. there is even a new colleen there and boy has bekah attached herself to her. Her name is Kavery. she is a doll. we are starting a building program. God is doing amazing things in our little church. i have a feeling it won't be little for long.

* i am anxious about next year. this was such a rough year. but alas, i will not think about that today. plus next year will be much better. there i am speaking it into existence. our pastor is always telling us to speak life into our live. choose life. choose the positive. so i am working on that. calling things as though they were. isn't that the very basis of faith. and without faith it is impossible to please God.

* anyway, enough preaching. sorry i was interupted by the urge to check on the cleanliness of the upstairs loft. THAT WAS A MISTAKE. SO THE GIRLS ARE CLEANING IT UP AS I SPEAK. why did i feel the need to go check up there. oh yea!!! i was going to kiss the girls good night. well good move as a mom, not good move for someone who wants their house to be picked up.

* how can i have two such wonderful girls, sweet, kind, smart, gorgeous, and live like such pigs. honestly if i could get them to pick up after themselves!!!! oh the joy!!!!!!

* well i am ready to be done typing, so ttfn.................................

FOUR MORE DAYS........

I CAN'T BELIEVE FOUR MORE DAYS AND SCHOOL IS OUT!!! NOW I KNOW MOST OF YOU GOT OUT THIS WEEK, BUT SOME OF US ARE NOT SO LUCKY. However, I am so ready for school to be out. I tell ya, God has twisted me, stretched me, bent me, turned me, more this year than He has in a long time. And I am totally exhausted!!! I have nothing left to give. I am empty and ready to sit and do absolutely nothing.

I think this has been the most challenging year that I have had in a long time. It has not only been challenging at school, but in every other area of my life. And I am tired. I hope this summer is as refreshing as I need it to be.

I plan to read, sit by the pool, sleep late, sit by the pool, read, watch movies, play with my girls and maybe get to go on vacation like we had planned. We have already had to move it once because of David's job. Hopefully, we won't have to move it again or skip it completely. That is all I will say about that.

Sorry it is not a happier post......

a hurtful situation.................

i am just hurt. i know i am not perfect in relationships, but today i was hurt. i know we have never been close, but i thought there was a possibility of a change. but i guess not. i am just hurt.

twenty years and a flight with the president and life in the burbs..................

* i know it has been a while since i have blogged. i now have a new hobby. i have a face book page. it is fun. i love to do all of the quizzes. i also love to send all the gifts.

* well let me get to the juicy stuff. well david and i celebrated our twenty year anniversary on wed. i can't believe it has been twenty years. david sent me 22 roses. 20 for the number of years that we have been married. 2 for our girls. we went to celebrate at rockfish. we love that place. i had a grilled shrimp salad and david had fish enchilladas. they sound gross, but they are so delicious. i could write pages and pages of wonderful things about the wonderful man that i married, but i simply just want to say i love you. i and proud and honored to be your wife. i am so proud of you. you are achieving your dreams. we are so blessed to have our girls. i am speachless!!! God you have been so wonderful to me.

* now let me get to the best part. DAVID GOT TO FLY THE PRESIDENT (GEORGE BUSH) AROUND ON THURSDAY. IS THAT COOL OR WHAT. HE WAS SO DELIGHTED. LAURA ALSO WENT. he got home late thursday, so i haven't really get to talk to him about it. talk about the favor of God. he said that President Bush walk all around the other side of the plane just to shake his hand. david was thrilled.

* our taks tests are this week. i am so ready to have them over. my last day of tutoring is tomorrow. i am so glad.

* hannah had a vb game saturday. she served five over handed serves in a row. and they could not even pick them up. they are playing so well together as a team. it was so fun watching them play. she takes her taks test (science) thursday. she is beginning to get a little nervous about middle school next year.

* bekah is growing tall and doing great in school. i get glances of my sister lisa when she was a child, when i look at bekah. it sometimes takes me aback.

* i am still walking and loving it.

just chuggin along...................

well i don't know much, i just thought i would write down somethings that are happening in our lives right now. hannah took her reading and her math taks test already. she passed the reading, however, not as good as she wanted to and was very upset with herself. the night before the math test she slipped off to bed at 7:30. which is very weird, but i think she wanted to get plenty of rest for the next day.

i hope she did well. well i guess that was stupid to say. of course i hope she did well. but i get nervous for her in every area of life. i guess that is part of being a mom. i rememeber when i taught her. it was easy teaching her, but do you know what was the hard part? the social aspect of teaching your daughter. wanting your daughter to be part of the "in " crowd, even when you know she won't be. but also glad that she isn't. you know what i mean. but watching the dynamics of that situation was at times difficult.

i am, however, very glad that i moved her to my school. that was one of the best descisions i ever made. i love having the girls at my school. it is wonderful.

bekah is just trecking along. she is doing well in school. she is going to start playing volleyball next fall. i am excited about that. i can't wait to see her play.

david is in augusta georgia watching the masters golf tournament. he will come home tomorrow and will get to have most of the weekend home. i am soooooooooooooo excited about that. the girls are too.

church is going well and relationships are just barely beginning to form. the ladies that i am working with on wednesday nights and i are very slowly beginning to visit with each other. that is nice. it is nice to visit with other women. one of the ladies that i feel escpecially feel drawn to a lady named christy. hehehe i am like a little school girl.

OH DID I TELL YOU THAT I AM ABOUT TO CELEBRATE MY 20TH ANNIVERSARY IN TWO WEEKS. IS THAT EXCITING OR WHAT? WHO KNEW? AND THEY SAID IT WOULDN'T LAST.

school has 8 weeks left. yea!!!!! i feel like i am beginning to float on air. i am so ready to have this first year behind me. this summer i am going to take the kids to church camp. right now we have 18 signed up. we are going to dry gulch oklahoma. yeee haw. how fun. we are also going to disney world. we are so excited. we have not been a big trip in 15 years. we are going to have so much fun. this will be the first time the girls have flown on a big airplane. they have flown with their dad, but never on a big plane . they are so excited as well. i thingk david and i are just as excited as the girls are.

well i guess that about covers it. happy easter. i certainly will miss the easter egg hunt at church on sunday.

ttfn......................

It's a God Thing...............................

as you all know we had a hard time finding a church. but finally, God so richly blessed us with finding an awesome church. we have been going to faith fellowship for sometime now. maybe about two months. one of the reasons that we started visiting, is because they have a wed. night service for adults. so many of the churches up here do not have a wed. night service for adult or kids, just teens.

well anyway, so we started going. they really did not have anything for the kids, but it was about the only day of the week that david could go so we went. there were about two other kids and my two girls and they would just put on a christian movie, while the adults had their bible study.

one night me and the other ladies decided we had to start something on wed. for the kids. so one of the moms that stays home, decided she wanted to run it, and i told her i would help, but did not want to run it. we start by serving the kids supper (usually pizza) and then we go into one of the classrooms and have praise and worship and then the lesson and an art activity. there were about three ladies that help out.

the first wed. night we had 14 kids. wow!!! how awesome is God. then the next wed. night we had 21 kids. tonight we had 23 kids!!!!!! and that was just the kids in our room. not including the babies and toddles. but here is the really awesome thing. when we first started going to church there, there might have been 30 people in the whole building, including the teens. tonight, toni ( our pastor's wife) counted and we had 97 people in the church!!!!!!! IS THAT AMAZING OR WHAT? AND IT ALL STARTED WITH THE CHILDREN. GOD YOU ARE SO GOOD. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING SO SIGNIFICANT. I AM SO INCREDIBLY BLESSED. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE DEDICATED WOMEN THAT I GET TO WORK WITH. IT IS RESTORING MY SOUL.

I FEEL SO BLESSED. GOD LET IT CONTINUE TO GROW AND HONOR YOU!!!!!!!!!

IT'S A GOD THING.....................

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET ANGEL, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU........

i can't believe that my sweet baby girl is eleven. where did the time go? i only blinked once, i promise. it is funny, my dad used to say the older you get the faster time goes. i know that, but now it seems that i am at an age where i actually feel the time whizzing by me.

i can remember everything about this precious baby's wonderful journey into the world. i am thankful for all the memories. but most of all i am thankful to be her mother. what a blessing you are to me hannah. you are growing up into a beautiful, smart, sweet , kind, loving, adorable, strong in your faith young lady. and it delights me that i have the priveledge of knowing you.

i remember those ten dark years with out you. how sad i was. i missed you before you were even born. i knew you would be great. i knew you would be precious. that is why my heart ached for you so. i remember holding you, never wanting to put you down. i remember when you were little like it was yesterday.

i am so proud of you. the young woman that you are becoming. i remember after first finding out that i was pregnant with you. i had just come home from school in little elem. and the phone rang. the nurse on the other end of the phone asked is this kim poynor? i said yes. she then asked if i was sitting down. i said no i am too excited, and she said it is positive you are pregnant. she told me to continue the shots of progesterone, for the next 13 weeks. i was floating on air. david was standing right there, with the biggest grin on his face. but i think he already knew. i told the nurse thank you.

we spent the rest of the night calling people to let them know our wonderful news. there are no words to express how excited we were. the first person we called was lisa. everyone was so excited. then of course we went out to eat.

i also remember when you were born. i was going in for my once a month check up after school. i was 36 weeks. when i got there the doc. said my blood pressure was high. he checked it several times and then told me that they had better induce. i asked if i could call my mom. so they checked me in and induced me. it didn't hurt. but boy did i release alot of water.

the next morning, around 8:50 they came in to check me and there was blood on the sheets. and our heart rate was falling. so they did an emergency c-section. you were born at 9:09 on a wednesday morning. so many people came up to see you. jj, robi, meems and pawpaw, lisa, jan, steve, neenee and papa, terry and susan, with morgan and racheal,amy and wayned and sarah and the bubba's, and so many people from the church we were attending.

we all just sat around and visited and took turns holding you. so thankful for the blessing that God had bestowed on us.

i love you baby girl, forever and always. may God's richest blessing follow you all the days of your life. great things.... great things are in store for you.
