scared

My "sweet" husband...bless him, scared the crap out of me this morning.

I was in the bathroom getting ready for work. Putting my contacts in to be exact, and it's a miracle that I still have an eye ball right now.

So, there I am, half perched on the bathroom counter, right up in the mirror trying to get my contacts in my sleepy eyes, and Nick sneaks up and yells..

"HI!!"

Do you think I laughed?

No.

Instead, I burst into tears.

I hate being scared...especially on purpose. Needless to say, the husband felt pretty bad. As he should :)

So this brought be to today's post. What makes you scared?

Are they silly little things, like someone yelling "BOO"? Clearly like me? Or are they a deeper fear?

My list:
* Roach's. HATE, HATE, HATE, LOATHE them!
* Horror movies. This is a love/hate thing. I like the "idea" of them, but when I watch one, heck even the preview...I won't sleep for weeks.
*Coming home late to an empty house. If Nick's traveling, I don't stay out past dark, unless the house is lit up like a christmas tree :) Call me an old lady.
*Following another car too closely. Blame it on the fact that my beloved Altima was totaled 4 years ago, b\c a Sheriff Deputy wasn't paying attention. Keep a safe distance, people.
*Door to Door Solicitors. Unless your a adorable 3 foot tall girl scout selling my favorite tagalong cookies, don't bother coming to our door.
*Roller Coaster's. I went on my first roller coaster in 7th grade. It still amazes me that I was even tall enough? My friend talked me into going, and I went. She warned me to keep my head back, b\c after the ride starts, your going too fast to lift your head up. Well, my head flew forward, and I stared at the ground the ENTIRE time, screaming to the top of my lungs. Never again!
*Needles. I never realized this fear until I began donating blood. I have 0+, the good stuff, so there's always a need. You dear phlebotomist will have to find another vein donor, b\c this chic passes out everytime :(

Well there ya go. My scardy list.

What's yours?

Lot of love,
K

ezra rose williamson

Our family recieved a priceless gift on Friday afternoon. He arrived in the world at 3:55 PM, all 9 lbs and 7 ounces of him.

Friends, meet my new nephew

Ezra Rose Williamson

Isn't he just delicious?

His name is Biblical, and in Hebrew meaning "Helper." Ezra also authored the books of Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah.

I am in awe of my brother, and his incredible girlfriend, Carly Rose. Y'all, she worked so stinking hard, and that little boy was just not ready to come out of his happy home. She labored for 34 hours...100% natural!!! Just amazing!

He's here. After 9 months of laugh's, tears, and countless prayers, Ezra Rose is here.

Psalm 139:13-16

13 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."

Welcome to the big world little man. Your Aunt Kiki is counting down the days till I get to hold you in my arms.

I love you,  my precious Ezra.

worry wart

Confession time.

I am a worry wart.
Gross! I just got a visual of that.

I worry about everything, and nothing. I worry about things I can control, and things I can't.

Am I a loving, and supportive wife to Nick? Have I prayed for him today?
How long has it been since I called my Dad? 2 weeks?
Am I giving my girlfriend the right marriage advice? Were my words seasoned with love?
It's going to rain today, and BOTH of my umbrella's are at home. Really?
Am I going to be a good mother?
What if I can't have children?
Did I wear that skirt twice this week to work? Yeah, I totally did.
What am I going to do with my life? Do I know my purpose?
Am I enough?
Am I too much?
Will I ever finish school? Will I be 30, and still be in school?
Why won't she call me back? Did I offend her by something I said?
Am I a valuable employee?

People, we all worry. But why? Really, what's it going to do? Stress you out more? Put you in a bad mood? Yes, and yes!

Matthew 6:25-27 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?

Y'all I'm convicted. Today, if worry creeps up into your day, just breathe.

 Breathe and smile. Life is going to happen, and no amount of worry will ever change that.

Happy hump day, my worry FREE friends!

Love,
K

labor day wknd

It's Labor Day weekend...what to do?

Well, since we be boat owners...we went boating!

Yes, even though there was a tropical storm brewing out somewhere...we ventured it. Now we were not total fools, and went with some friends that also had a boat with a GPS. We're good :)

Truthfully, it was a fabulous day, minus the crazy wind, and the fact that I was so fearful of being tossed overboard, that I remained tense for like 3 whole hours. This makes for your entire body being unbelievably sore the following day. No bueno. But anyways, I got to practice driving down the river, before we got into the bay. Happiness! Note: No boaters were injured or killed in this process.

We got to see the Skyway from a different view. Very cool!

Once we got through the rough open water, we found a great fishing spot where the water was a lot calmer, and a school of "lady fish" were practly jumping into our boat. My kind of fishing, people.

They were nothing to brag about, as you can tell...but this was the first fish we caught on our boat! I would have been proud if it were a minnow :)
Sadly, I was better at feeding the fish, than actually catching them. They like shrimp!

Best part of the day...

Dolphins :)

How was your weekend?

xoxo,
K
