Matt Remembered and Our 12 year Anniversary

Yahoo I love my Pook and today we celebrated our twelve year anniversary!!! We had a fantastic time of worship at church, went to lunch and celebrated the life of Matt, then to top that off the zoo! Our day was amazing and I love Gary more today than the day I married him! I am so thankful for his heart, love of God and our Lilly and Owen. Gary is an amazing man and I can't wait to see what else God has in Store for us.
We started our afternoon off at Red Lobster celebrating Matt's life along with our anniversary. Gary and I totally pitty the poor guy who marries Lilly who pretty much ate all my shrimp (I still have tummy issues, and why on earth am I fat I can't eat! Back to my post ha) and munched on Gary's crab! Owen on the other had was happy with a cup of clam chowder! I did eat a bit of my mashed potatoes in memory of Matt. And chuckled as they went down!
The zoo was amazing! The animals were so active and right up close. I even braved the Sky Rider, Owen held my hand as I prayed all the way to the top! Lilly was in Heaven with all the animals, she may just be a Veterinarian yet!
 Enjoy the pictures I finally remembered that memory card!!

Love My Little Girl

I am so happy God gave me Lilly! She is definitely my little girl. Lilly needed a new bathing suit, and as you can imagine the suits are made really skimpy for any age not to mention a six year old! Any who, we went shopping a total girl moment dressing room and all. Lilly picked a great suit a two piece that really looks like a one piece and is very modest! I am so proud!!

Remembering Matt

This day eight years ago Gary lost his brother Matt and I lost one of my favorite people. Matt was unique and knew a little bit about everything. He was an amazing whiz at computers and loved God and his family. I am so very sad that Lilly and Owen will never have the chance to sit on Uncle Matt's lap and play video games, or read some of Matt's favorite books. We were so blessed to have had him in our lives while we did and cherish those moments! This weekend we will do our annual dinner at Red Lobster in honor of Matt, I will have mashed potatoes in his memory!! :)
God is so good and has such an amazing plan for us all, I know this day is very hard for my mother and father in law. I ask that you join Gary and I in prayer that Lee and Karen find peace in Christ, and know that Matt is happy and at peace. Matt's chains are gone!
