Learning
14 October 2011
So, Ashley and I now alone in the house. Our roommates have moved out. Reality sets in. I have spent the morning trying to clean and rearrange the house. Make it just ours. It hasn't been that way since all this happened the last of May. I need to make this a home. I need to learn how to do this on my own. I married at 17, went from my mom's house to being a wife. I've never been alone. I don't know what I'm doing.
I'm realizing now that they are gone that there is a lot I don't know how to do. Like when the bathtub facet wouldn't turn off and I almost broke the handle off of it trying to fix it. There are lots of things like that I don't know how to handle. I tried to move our dining room table today and some of the legs tore out of the particle board top. I have one tiny Philips screwdriver, a hammer, and a pair of pliers. Not that I would know how to use tools if I had them. I need a book on how to do things I guess.
The house is so empty. The only furniture we really have is the beds, one now busted dining room table, a few chairs and our dressers. I know we are blessed to have the things we do and they are just things. It's just empty. And doesn't feel like home. I want this to be my home for my daughter. I want it to be a place we both want to be. Today I'm just struggling because life has just so completely changed and I don't know how to be a single parent. I feel lost.
I will figure it out. We will be fine. We will be happy. I can do this alone. I know I can.

Pray for Austin Jace Westbrook
04 October 2011
A Texas family and their precious son need your prayers! Austin is a three month old baby boy who was allegedly shaken by his sitter. You can read his story here.
I first realized the power of socail media in spreading prayer requests when I started following MckMama's son Stellan's story. People around the world lifted up Stellan and his family and he is, in my opinion, proof of the power of prayer.
Social media is once again helping to spread the word with baby Westbrook. Check out what social media is doing for the family here. Please keep this family in your prayers. You can show your support on the Prayers for Austin Westbrook Facebook page. Updates on his condition can be found here as well.

Music Monday - A song that makes you happy
03 October 2011
Big Me. Don't ask me why, but I think it's impossible to be unhappy while listening to this song. You can ask @RocksHoleyJeans, I am NOT a Foo fan, but I adore Big Me. The completely ridiculous video doesn't hurt either.
