About Me

Demetrius and I were married in June of 2000. Our love grows stronger every day. We are the perfect match and definitely soulmates. After several years of trying and with many prayers from ourselves and our family and friends, our hope for becoming parents became reality. God blessed us with the most beautiful miracle, our son,Jonah Sunil Rhodes. And here's our happily ever after...

Weekend Wrap Up

Okay, I'm stealing this idea from Jodi's blog. I don't feel so bad about it since she, herself was a little thief!! Hey, when you get in a blogging slump, you do what you gotta do, right??? Anyway, thanks for the cool idea, J!!!

Best part of the weekend: Going to Longview and visiting family

Worst part of the weekend: Watching poor Jonah deal with his stomach virus...poor baby!!!!

People I saw: Demetrius, Jonah, my in-laws... and my annoying neighbor (whom I wish I never had to see again)

Something I accomplished this weekend: I finally got my schedule for work figured out, narrowed down my search to 2 babysitting prospects, finished up Jonah's first scrapbook, and convinced Demetrius to steam clean the carpets!!

Something I wish I did this weekend, but didn't get done: There's always some form of organizing or cleaning that I wish I could have done but didn't get to (I'm sooooo OCD)!! Main one is probably giving the dogs a bath...man, that'll wear you out when you have 4 of them!!!

Things I am looking forward to this week: Jonah's baptism and seeing all of our beautiful family!!!

Things I am not looking forward to this week: Jonah's baptism (yes, I know I used that on the last one...but no matter how much I LOVE parties and get togethers, they is always sooooooo much work!!!! Also, I'm not thrilled about meeting with babysitters...although it's absolutely needed, I hate the thought of leaving my baby with anyone else. I pray I'll find the right person.

Okay, so I copied from Jodi....now you are welcome to copy from me....I'd love to see how your weekend went!!!

SO much LOVE!!!

This past weekend, we made our very first trip to Dallas since Jonah was born. We only stayed for one night but it was really fun. A little nerve wracking for me though because I never packed up Jonah's things for an overnight visit...so of course I was worried about forgetting this or not having that. But it all worked out fine. My mom's house was equipped for everything we needed...including plenty of love!!!

That was probably one of the greatest parts of visiting. With my mom, my sister, and my best friend, Jonah was engulfed with attention. And then at my cousin's little boy's 1st birthday party, there was even more love to be shared!!!

Even though we're miles away from family and can't see them on a daily basis, I know Jonah will grow up knowing how special he is and how special family is. I sometimes worry about Jonah being an only child...growing up lonely, having noone to call his own if something happened to me or his daddy. But I am assured in my heart that he will always be taken care of even if we aren't around.

So the time we do get to spend together with family is awesome. And I know it will only get better with the years to come because I see how our beautiful children bind us together closer than ever!
