This past weekend we were able to go up to the Bay Area for my sister's graduation party and a wedding. There are many things that happened that weekend that I could not wait to write about when I got back. But there was one thing that almost brought tears to my eyes. We went to church on Sunday and because we got there a little late we ended up sitting in the balcony. The sermon was over and we were ending the service with a couple of worship songs. I happened to look down at the people below us and noticed a dad and a son in the second row. The son was about 6 or 7 and both his dad and him were standing while they worshipped. I then see the dad raise up his arm in worshipping the Lord and soon after that the son did the same. They both stood there with their arms stretched out praising God. After awhile, the dad took his son's hand in his and they raised them together. It was a beautiful sight to see. It was a great reminder that we are being watched. We are examples, whether we realize it or not, to our parents, siblings, friends, neighbors, co workers and especially our children. The first thing I thought when I found out I was pregnant was that I could not believe that God would give us such a gift, that he would allow us to be the ones to raise this child. It is an honor. But I do know that we can not and will not do it alone. I have found that this baby has me turning and trusting in God more than I ever have. I pray that I will be the example that points to the Lord.
On Sunday evening we went to a wedding and had a great time. Both my brother and sister in law were in the wedding. Adam gave a great best man speech and had the audience rolling.
Saturday we had a graduation party for my sister. Since the family was not able to come to the actual graduation we were able to have family and friends over to celebrate. This whole weekend was such a great reminder of how much love we have. When I am with my family or Kevin's family I feel like it is Christmas morning. I don't want to sleep or leave the room because I am afraid I might miss something. I just love our families and can't get enough of the family get togethers. Anyway, enough moosh for one day.
Here is my week 25 picture. I actually feel much bigger than what this picture shows.
Teaser: Kevin spent over 4 hours painting the guest/office/baby's room yesterday. Pictures to come.
Dying to see those pictures of the room! With the dresser in the closet, etc. And perhaps even the rocking chair!
