Texas Family Fun

I am in Texas visiting my friend Tiffany, or Tiffy as my children say, and her family. It has been so relaxing and fun. I have seen very ugly black and white ducks with red bumpy faces. And had late nights with lots of laughs. I have really enjoyed her three sweet boys. It's almost like home. But not quiet. This is the first time being so far and so long without my sweet family of handsome boys. (that includes Mark)

But definately needed. I have learned so much about myself in just these few days to really think without being the mommy or wife. Just Amber. I am stronger physically, spiritually, faithfully, and most of all have stronger faith in myself. I am proud of making it to Texas all by myself. For those who know me know that I got married at 18 years old and have never gone anywhere without Mark. It is amazing to see that I can do it. But thank goodness I don't HAVE to all the time. :)

Life has been a mess of challenges over the past 6 months or so, I have learned more though these challanges then I would have through years of bliss. I am grateful to a loving Father in Heaven who knows what I can do and a supportive Savior that helps when I forget I can.

Now it's all about living as the best ME I can be. With all my faults but more strengths.

As for an update on the boys front....they are so excited to have so many boys days. They sent a sweet video on Sunday morning saying good mornging to me and I got to webcam them later that day. They of course have done the pizza dinners and daddy's are known for, which for Mark's credit he cooks everynight so he should be able to take a little vacation from that as I vacation in TX.

All is good..... no all is great in the Lord. :)
