Tagged...

Well, I've been tagged by my friend Andrea. I hope I get this right so here goes.

Here are the rules:
List 7 random things people might not know about you. The rules are to link the person who sent this to you and leave a comment on their blog so their readers can visit yours. Post the rules on your blog. Share 7 facts about yourself. Tag 7 random people a the end of your post, linking their blog. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1) I don't like tight spaces. I don't even like to pull the covers up over my head during a thunderstorm. I can handle elevators, but for example, the other day while SJP was playing at the park, she asked me to slide down one of those enclosed slides with her....I couldn't do it....yep...wimped out.

2) I almost married a drummer. I prefer not to elaborate and no we were'nt engaged but the subject was talked about and in my mind...pretty much settled. (He later dumped me. Actually, just didn't show up to a very important event....like my Jr College Graduation.) I saw the light pretty quickly. No, I'm not bitter. I'm just thankful God took GOOD care of me and didn't let me make some STUPID mistake.

3) I have a sister. She is actually in heaven with her Savior today but still very much alive. She and I actually were born again during the same Revival Service. I am so grateful that God allowed me to share that special moment with her. She was killed 2 months after our spiritual birthdays. I miss her terribly....I wish my girls could have known her.

4) I love to listen to Lionel Ritchie.....I won't say which is my favorite song....too racy for my blog!

5) I could watch Father of the Bride I and II over and over. I absolutely LOVE those movies. I love everything about each of them. I love the house, the yard, the street....the cars they drove, everything. I cry each time I watch it, too.

6) My mom was to originally name me Jenny. Actually Jennifer Pauline after my grandmother, Pauline. My cousin, Jennifer, was born in August....oh well, I like the name Tracy better anyway.

7) Ok, this may seem a bit forward but if you were to ask my husband about our first kiss, he would tell you that I kissed him. He would be telling the truth. He wouldn't hurry up so I just laid one on him. It worked....January 2008 marked 11 years! I love him so!

Ok, that's it. Whew, that was tough.

New Pics and Post

OK. I finally got a new camera and was able to upload some pics of the house. We are very happy here in Hernando and are getting used to living in the NORTH. It is colder up here but the allergy season seems to be easier. CDP had a small bout with an allergy attack 2 weeks ago but made it thru without going to the Dr. HOORAY!

All is well and we are excited about Nai Nai and Yei Yei coming to visit on Easter Sunday. Since I have this new camera, I'll post more pics of our girls in their Easter Frocks on Sunday. We truly miss our friends in Madison but know without a doubt God has put us here. It is soooo good to be in HIS will.

Much love,
TRP

Whew!

Well, it's been a long time since I've posted so I'll try to be brief as you can see it's late...
SJP is absolutely the most hilarious child! She is growing up soo fast and I see so much of a little girl in her these days. She is no longer a toddler! She loves to dance and I mean jive! Whenever she hears music her foot starts tapping and her body begins to do some crazy moves. I'm tickled by her each and every day.

SCP is growing as well. She is now 6 1/2 months old and about to take off crawling! She sits independently very well and is eating us out of house and home. She weighed in at a whopping 17 lbs 12 oz on Tuesday and is 26 1/2 inches long. Her pediatrician walked in at her appt on Tuesday and asked what we had been feeding her? I'm hoping she'll start to lose a little when she starts crawling.

CP is doing great. It's so good to see fire back in his eyes and hear the excitement in his voice when he comes home every day. God is working in our church and I'm amazed each day at how good He is....all the time.

I'm good too and love being at home with my girls. I wasn't sure how I would be able to handle all the time spent at home but I've got plenty to keep me busy...namely SJP and SCP. I'm about to start helping another lady develop our Women's Ministry program and I'm really excited about what God is going to do with me thru this ministry.

This move has been a huge leap of faith for me. I now realize that God wants me to trust Him with the ordinary and every day stuff. I've been tested in this recently and I hope I've passed the test. He is in control and I'm learning to not worry and just let Him be God. Please pray for us when you think of us. We have a huge opportunity ahead of us and we don't want to blow it. Pray that we will hear God's voice and follow where He leads.....wherever that may be!

I'll try to post photos soon. I've got several of our new house and the girls but just have not had the time to get them uploaded. Hoping all is well with our friends back in Madison......we'll chat with you soon.

Later,
TRP
