Such an awesome song!!! I also think that this is a good topic title for my blog tonight. We have had a very emotional week. We have been camping all week at deep creek lake and WOW! what a week.
We had plenty of booboos! The greatest tumble was Ahna who went to far up on a hill with her scooter and as a result had a huge road burn at the underside of her thigh. We start the week on her birthday and what a birthday. When tubing, she tried with Daddy and she only lasted a couple minutes. When daddy started bragging about how she tried and pulled her in his lap and told her how proud of her he was..... a memory mommy will never forget.
Jack caught 4 fish and was braver than all the kids and went tubing on the lake by himself. What? my Jack? the one that wouldn't leave the step at the swimming pool last year.
Robby made friends with neighboring kids and discovered the joy of a jumbo marshmallow s'more. He too went out on the tube by himself a little more hesitant than Jack, but when doing it with his Dad found it was much more fun.
Jason was annoying running out to the road all the time. We had to deal with it because he only wanted to follow everyone who left the campsite including brothers and sister and other kids going up and down the street on scooters, bikes, and skate boards. It was awesome to watch him run to his aunt Rebekah after she took a shower like she was gone for a year. When he lifted his arms to an uncle who self proclaims that he's never having kids, was an awesome thing to watch.
We said goodbye to our niece Alexandra who went off to college in West Virginia after camping with us for a few days.
Robert's brother said one of the most awesome times he's had in a while was when Uncle David, Robert, and Patrick went fishing ... just them.
I had time to do a lot of reflection and I dealt with a lot of emotions selfishness, jealously, anger, sadness, loneliness, confusion, shock, happiness, joy, love, belonging, fun, laughter and many more. Every family has issues and this family showed them but it's what you do with them that shows understanding and love. This family I can safely say Loves to Much! Maybe that's why I love them so much.
It's been 8 years since I handed Robert a tissue after I walked toward him ready to be his wife. The last 4 years have been the hardest on our marriage but the most victorious. I have watched my husband almost die of something unknown until the last second luckily before it was too late. We had a lot of problems in our marriage 2 years ago. When the road gets rough you can't just get off at the next exit you have to make it a choice to fight for your marriage. My dad did and so did I. We chose to fight for love and we beat the odds in a marriages.
Now our marriage is growing and not by our hands but by God's. I love you Robert Edward Moore Jr. I love you more now than the day you became my husband!!! I am loving growing up and growing old with you. You are an amazing wonderful father and you are my other half and I would die without you and for you!!! Thank you for picking me.
Lord thank you for carrying us these last 4 years and I pray that you will hold us for at least another 40 years!
