Looking for a pause button.....


Well, yesterday was Peyton's last day of school! We had such a fun time at the picnic and it was great to see him interact with his class. This mom of course cried when Mrs. Tracy was saying her good byes, I just can't believe he'll be in pre-k next year. Only one more year and I'll be registering him for kindergarten?!?! Where did the time go? He has been so sweet and loving this past week and I have savored every minute of it. I just can't allow myself to believe there will be a day when he doesn't want to kiss his mom good bye before he heads into school! Right now he thinks I know everything, if momma said it it must be true, right? Unfortunately, that too will change. I remember when I just knew my parents were so out of touch they couldn't possibly understand or relate to my life. I am so glad I am at the stage in my life that I now know it will just be a phase. I will make it through those years knowing that Peyton will realize, just as I have, that parents know much more than we do. At 30 something I turn to my parents for advice and guidance on just about everything. They have so much wisdom and I know they will guide me in the right direction. I hope Peyton will one day seek my guidance, and when he does I pray I will have gained enough wisdom from my mom and dad to lead him in the right direction.




On another note, most people know Mark lost his job about 6 weeks ago. It has been so stressful but I know God is faithful and I am trusting in him for our next opportunity. Mark and I are both looking for jobs now so if you hear of anything let us know! Most of all please keep us in your prayers, I am trusting in God but if you know me then you know I like to take care of things myself, in my way! Trying to follow God's lead and submit to his will, not mine!
