Four Generations

When we went to visit my Meme and Papa and when my grandpa and Granny Jan came to visit we had to get a four generation picture.  Four generations is pretty cool, but a few years back when my second cousin was born, we were able to get a five year generation picture with my great grandma B on my grandpa's side of the family. She has passed away now and we miss her dearly.

I can still see my Memes face when we walked through the door and she got to meet Morgan! She was so happy and excited to see her. I loved it! I am so thankful and blessed my grandparents are still alive to meet Morgan.

I Still Remember

I love my Meme! She is an amazing women and I have always cherished the time we get to spend together. She is so sweet and always has an insightful opinion. She is never quick to judge and takes you just as you are. She keeps you on your toes and brings you back to your roots. I pray that my kids will get to know her and my mother the way I know them. I thank God everyday that they are both in my life. With out them, only heaven knows where I would be.

I say all that to tell this story. I got a letter from Meme today. It was a sweet card and I didn't understand what she was talking about until I opened up what she had printed off for me. It was a post I had written only months ago, a day that I was not having the greatest time. Though it has always been in the back of my mind since I got pregnant, she brought it all the way to the front. She reminded me of the struggles I was having just two months ago. Oh how quickly we forget. God gives us what we want, we are happy, and we forget. We forget to be thankful, we forget the misery, we forget how hard it was. Since day one I had been thanking God for His blessings and for hearing my prayer. But the past couple of weeks I had forgotten. I had forgotten just how blessed I was. How amazing it was that everything is going good with the baby, how I haven't been sick at all, how my husband is ok with the thought, Then Meme kept me on my toes and helped me remember. For that, I am thankful! I want to always remember how hard the struggle was to get pregnant. How sad I was. How much I had to lean on God and my family and friends. How I had to have faith and remember He has a plan. How, when someone else comes along who is struggling like I did, I can help, encourage, and pray for them.

So thank you Meme, for helping me remember!

Visiting Meme and Mom

When I was little I spent every summer with my Meme. I have fond memories of her and Papa. I love my Meme so much and I hate that we live so far away from her. But my mom lives in the same town right now so we went for a visit to see them. This is the house I spent many summers in.

While we were there we took some walks,

 talked about some old memories and went flea marketing and garage selling. It really was a lot of fun. Cory and I love to go to flea markets and so do Meme and Papa. I remember going on the weekends for hours and hours to look for garage sales. Papa usually bought me whatever I wanted, in reason.

One day we checked out the little town of Mena, AR. It's a cute little town with shops, eateries, and a drive to the top of Queen Wilhemina Mountain. The views were gorgeous and we ended up eating at a little restaurant when we got to the top.
