Three years

I can't believe that it has been three years since I had my miscarriage. I believe with all my heart that it was a little boy although that is based only on my pregnancy experiences. However it was exactly the way my pregnancy began with Riley. I look at my oldest daughter and I know that I was meant to have a miscarriage as I wouldn't have her. She was conceived a month later. But it is still hard to think of the little brother that Riley never got. I take comfort that God has a plan for me and for my children (both here and in heaven).

Three things you don't know about me!

***Blog hop time!

Three things you don't know about me are 1.) I used to be a armed security officer in the years before children and I loved it. I started working in that field as a dispatcher at 18. I am a pretty good shot. 2.) I am a tvaholic. I love watching tv and am so happy someone invented the DVR. My TV however thinks that I have forgotten about it lately as I haven't had much time to watch anything. 3.) I love coke (the drink) and hate water. I bet I would lose ten pounds if I traded every coke I drink for water. I used to be a smoker but quit after getting pregnant so coke (caffeine) is my only real vice left other then chocolate.***

***Introduction

I never really thought about introducing myself before because the few people who even know about this blog already know how crazy I am. My name is Lora. I am a child of God, a wife, a mother of three kids here on earth and one in heaven. I have been married for 4 and a half years. I am currently a SAHM and I love it. I love my kids more then I could ever properly put into words! I love reading blogs and my list of them seems to grow daily. I am totally random and hardly ever think my postings through. They are usually just what is on my mind at the moment, but half the time I can't hold on to the really great thoughts long enough to sit down and write them out so...this is what is left over! Oh and I am totally addicted to using LOL!

My kids...
Riley, my oldest will be 4 on the 21st! In July of 2006 I became pregnant again. On Aug 21, 2006 I miscarried our second child. I became pregnant the following month with my daughter Cassidy who just turned 2! And my baby, Kaitlyn, is 4 months old! I think that's about all I can squeeze out at the moment as my kids are attempting to trash their rooms! Thanks for reading!

Wednesday's Walk Down Memory Lane

So I think this is a fabulous idea and I want to write down real quick one of those passing memories that are forgotten so easily as time passes. Today in the car on my way to deliver some things to my hubby that he forgot, I was listening to a song on the radio...completely absorbed. From the back seat I hear my son saying under his breath "Turn, turn." I look to my left and sure enough I am about to pass my turn. Because of a not yet 4 year old, I was able to safely make that turn. I just started laughing. I want to remember the little things like that when I am older. I want to tell Riley how smart he was even at 4 when he is 20.

Thanks to Lynette, cause I never would have written that down otherwise!

Tuesday's Playlist

Okay, so I read a ton of blogs and don't post often but

is starting Tuesday's Playlist and I love music so I decided to play along. Seems like a great idea to me!

So my Favorite (Can't get out of my head) Song from the last several weeks is Casting Crowns Praise You In This Storm. I have being feeling like I am in a small storm for a bit now and this song just really touched me.

The second favorite at the moment is I Will Rise by Chris Tomlin! Again...this song just reached out and said...LISTEN...so I did and I love it.

That's it for now!
