My Husband
My husband is seriously so amazing! I know I always proclaim Elias' greatness on here, but I often fail to mention Gus' awesomeness. I just have to say that I have a great Godly man that loves his family. I honestly hope that our little boy grows up to be like his daddy. There is no greater role model for Elias. Gus is loving, devoted, caring, supportive, FUN, humorous, and most importantly he loves the Lord! My message to Elias is: Watch your daddy. He knows how to serve God and he knows how to love his wife. Your daddy knows how to go above and beyond to be a loving father to his little boy. Watch and follow him. He will lead you the right way!

The Beginning
Exactly 11 years ago my life completely changed. I walked into that youth service at First Assembly of God a typical 15 year old girl, but I left a new creation. My life, my heart, my future, my goals, my everything was changed. That was the night I realized that God was real, His Son had died for me, and that His love for me was great enough to accept me as I was.
I can remember every detail of that night and that moment where I gave everything I had to the Lord. I literally felt as though a huge burden and weight was lifted off of me. I remember the incredible sense of love and joy I felt. Since that night living my life for the Lord has not always been easy. In all honesty there have been times when my faith has been weak and I have doubted Him and His truth. In those moments all I have to do is remember September 17, 1997 and every doubt vanishes. I KNOW that night was real. I KNOW that night I encountered God. I KNOW that what I felt was not emotions created by me or by a human being. I KNOW it was true. It was my moment with Him.
All I have and all that I am (at least all the good parts of me) I owe to my God, my Savior. Thank you Lord for that moment that has led me to a lifetime and eventually an eternity of serving and loving you!
I love the lyrics to this song:
I have known you now for many years
And life has not always gone perfectly
Gentle whispers followed by the storms
And life has caused tears to fall
But if you ask has it been worth the price
And would I do it over again
I would give my life all over again
I'd run to you with no regrets
On my knees I give my all to you
For your Kingdom's sake

Pictures!
This is his take off postition.
How could you deny anything to this sweet face?!
Preparing to jump!
Climbing is second only to jumping.
He is always full of big smiles at the pool! He feels right at home in the water.
He is saying "cheese" on his way to his first day of school.
