I am still in awe of God's timing and answers to prayers. I can also tell you that I am so grateful for my church family today. I started going to Centerpoint Church back in 1998. I remember telling Pastor Jay when I hadnt been there for a series that they were all about family issues and he used to tell me that I would need the messages someday. Little did I know that in 1999 I would become pregnant with Demi. We are so blessed to have our church family and I am so grateful that Michelle got one of my bestest friends Donna married by Jay. I have been enjoying Jay's messages for the past 11 years and I know Demi has grown into the beautiful child she has because of our church and our friendships there. I always say it takes a village to raise a child and I truly mean that in today's world. If you are not in a church family, I would so recommend finding one in your area. You can also visit our website at http://www.centerpointchurch.com/ each week for the weekly message and series. If you live in the HEB or DFW metroplex and are looking for a church please come by and visit us this Sunday. You will not be disappointed!! Thanks for all your continued prayers and love!
On to another subject, I have been without our directtv since last Wednesday and I have to admit for the few days it was tough not having the tv and noise. But after a week of no tv, bad news and activities outside of the home, I am really not missing the tv anymore. Actually I think I get so much more done and am really taking part in things I love like reading and getting out to visit with friends.
Also I am incorporating a new goal for everyday. I want to give something, a gift to someone daily. It can be as simple as a card, trimming my neighbors hedges or just calling someone in need. I also think that praying for others is one the best gifts you can give. So do you want to join me? Demi and I really try to Pay It Forward everyday anyway, it has become a way of life for us. It is cute to see her friends get into it too when they are here or with us while out. Isn't that a great life lesson and it doesnt' have to cost a thing.
I am reading this book again called "Expect to Win" by Bill Glass. It is such a great Christian read. My spiritual goal for everyday is to engage in some kind of reading either my bible, a bible study and or christian book. This really excites me and I hope to start my day with this as well as end it on the same wonderful note. Anyone want to join me on this one? I hope so.
So I will be back shortly to post some fun and cute pics from Demi's bday yesterday and her party last weekend. I also hope to get one week of my project 365 by Becky Higgins posted. I am still loving taking a POTD as well as documenting our lives. It really does change the way you see your life and more than anything the way I appreciate ours. I love our life and am excited to see what great things God has in store for us.
Hugs,
Diana

Love our weekends and quality time together!
It really has been a fun weekend and we have certainly made the most of every second of every day. I love being able to hang out with my daughter and enjoy the quality time we have with each other and our friends. I hope you found time to enjoy your kids and weekend!
On Friday after school got out we had several friends come over for a swim. I love to see the kids all having fun and getting along. It could not have been a better afternoon and evening hanging out with Alyssa, Katelyn, Shazy, RJ and Ryan. It was pool time with some pizza and snacks for dinner!
On Saturday we went and watched Katelyn play her last softball game. She is just too cute, on Friday she won the award for most stylish and I will say she continued to live up to that on the softball field. I will try to post some long overdue pictures today.
Then we were off to the city water park with Shazy where we also met up with Katelyn and her mom Kathy. It was a lot of fun and VERY HOT! After a short nap Demi got up and went to see the movie UP 3D with Shazy and her dad. She said is was good and so funny! Upon arriving at home she was out on the couch for the night. She was exhausted to say the least after getting to bed late on Friday and up on Saturday topped off with lots of sunshine.
I have been working on my Project 365 finally. I have been printing pictures for the past 6 weeks now that I have some ink for my printer. I will try to get all my pictures in the book today while trying to get caught up on the journaling cards. I think in 22 weeks since I started in December I have only missed one day of taking picture. The idea of this book is to document everyday for a year in our life. I have loved taking the pictures and find it hard on some days to choose which picture I will use. Anyone else doing this book?
Some blogs I have enjoyed this past week are as follows and I wanted to thank each of them personally for taking the time to write daily for so many of us to enjoy. Thank you!

http://www.aliedwards.typepad.com/ - you have to see this idea that she has on her blog today. ast night I was thinking that I might start writing about one person every day in our lives that we are thankful for and why. This flower that she has on there would be perfect to use with this idea.

I will be back to post again with our POTD and some pages from our Project 365. This is being made by both Demi and I sharing the camera so you get her 8 year old perspective as well as mine.
Hugs,
Diana
