As thing are winding down......

The semester at AASU is slowly coming to an end, which I am thrilled. Today was a much anticipated day for me because I was to find out if I passed the GACE test for educators.....well I passed. I honestly didn't feel assured that I passed so today was a shock for me. I am so thankful to God for giving me the knowledge and ability to do well on the test. I am reminded daily of his faithfulness. I do give Jesus Christ all the glory for helping to get past this hurdle. His faithfulness is ever present.

Excited about a grandson

We found out yesterday that we are having a grandson in September. I am absolutely thrilled. How blessed can one person be? We have a granddaughter and will soon have a grandson also. I sit and reflect about all that God has done for us and blessed us with. I am thankful for so many things. Thinking of a new baby always brings excitement into one's life. Our little man will be named after his granddad and his daddy. They are naming him James Ray Holloway, III. The plan is to call him Trey. I am sure you are wondering where Trey comes from, well it is for the third. LJ has always wanted to name his first son after him so he will get his wish. I am not sure if there is going to be anymore babies for LJ and Ashley, but either way we are so proud of them and love our sweeties.

Life, it is so wonderful

Tomorrow is the big day for us. We find out if we are having another granddaughter or having our first grandson. Either way, we will be blessed. I can only imagine the joy that another grandchild will bring us. We have so much to be thankful for. I will update after the appointment tomorrow to let everyone know if our next blessing is a boy or a girl!!!

Easter 2010

Today was an extra special day for many reasons. Today was Lexie's first Easter. Her dad seemed to think that Mimi was a little crazy for hiding eggs for a 6month old, but I think she enjoyed it (at least Mimi and PopPop enjoyed it). She liked all of it as long as her hands or feet didn't touch the grass. She isn't crazy about that at all.

We went to church this morning and then to Grandma's for lunch. It was nice to have some family time and just relax. After dinner, some of us went to Hinesville to catch a movie. Jennifer A. and I watched The Last Song. It was a great movie but it was a tear jerker, especially for two people who lost their dads in the last year. Which brings me to my next point:..... this was our first Easter without my daddy. I miss him dearly. I can't begin to tell you how often he is in my heart and thoughts. Time is supposed to heal this hurt but it isn't doing the job. I miss you daddy and I know your First Easter in Heaven was perfect.

As the day comes to a close, I am reminded of all of my blessings in life. I am thankful for all of my family and friends. I am most thankful for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Without him I am nothing. Thank you Jesus for saving my soul!!!!
