Enjoy the Pictures. Jeremy well be out of town for a few days enjoying Nashville. While I stay home from work and have fun with the girls. Thanks for reading and have a great rest of the week and weekend.

My Post on FB

I have thought a lot about this. I have decided that Facebook has been too much of a distraction in my life. I need to focus on the important stuff. I well be taking a break from Facebook for a while. I well posting blogs and well checking my e-mail at least once a week. You can call or write and send a snail mail letter. If you really are wanted to see me and my family you can always come for a visit. Alaska is a great place to visit all year round. I am always willing to host guests. Even in the winter you won’t get bored I have lots for you to do ;). So keep in touch as I enjoy my family and my life without FB distractions. And be looking for small Christmas gifts from the Akers Clan.

Love and Blessing to you all

Marriage after 7 years

After 7 years of marriage I have learned lots and not enough. I Love my husband and all that he does. We have had our ups and downs but that's life right?!? I have learned to love him for who God made him and nothing else. I have stooped having exceptions and thinking he well be super human. I wish but that is for God to do. I am perfectly happy with my un-perfect husband. I can not fix him or try to fix him any more. The Mrs. Fix-it instint in me has trouble with that one. But I well leave it to God to do the fixing.I well let the Holy spirt work through me to him and let the holy spirit work in him. Our life is what we make it and what we have or don't have well not make us happy. We have gone through a wonderful adventure together with may more years to come. I am so glad that he is who he is and I am who I am. God sure does turn dust into something beautiful.

Dreams

I attended a connect (women 's bible study) at my church a couple of weeks ago and this was our first lesson Dream Big, and Dream God Dreams
I never really wrote down my dreams or dream' t in big goals. maybe I was just to hard on myself and did not want to write down things I might not accomplish.. I see now that it is kind of important to do this. It helps us keep our heads up. Dreams keep us thinking things can get better. I truly never thought of things I wanted to do that were really big. I have always wanted to go to the rain forest So that is where I will start my list.

Go to the rain forest

Go on a missions trip

Have a Big wedding

Finish my house and Yard

Hold my Grand Kids

Watch my daughters get married

Go on a long road trip

Go to Germany

Go to Ireland

Have a supermodel body

Retire from the Air National Guard as a Chief Master Sgt.

I am sure there are many more and things I will add as my life goes on but until then enjoy and dream big!

Spring update

Haven't blogged in while. Life has been busy. With Kids and two dogs life doesn't slow down even when I want it to.

I am adding some pictures of the some of the things around here.

I will add more Later

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites. by Colen James Pierson

 

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites. by Colen James Pierson May 19 1961- May 23, 2010

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites.
These things and more may seem strange for a young boy to know.

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites
A drive in the country, the echo of “are we there yet?”
This lesson is taught to a young boy who himself thought he forgot
These things and more may seem strange for a young boy to know
For a mother’s son to feel to feel enough to know

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites… These things and more.
A hunt for treasure, somewhere, somehow, someone forgot
Bottles and cans forsaken for junk…
These were the jewels, along our mother we children did hunt
The treasure now is the memory of my mother’s. sigh of” oos awe!”
In the beauty of all that is under the sky.

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites.
These things and more no longer seem strange for a mother’s son
Now a father with children of his own.

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites.
This mother’s son remember now the lesion too often forgot
Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites.
These rainbows my mother did give to us not just my sight
She taught us to hide them in our hearts
This and more helped us sleep at night

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites.
We would drive in Mom’s car chasing the colors in sigh
Believing in our hearts the gold would be ours

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites.
Instead of movies, carnivals, Disneyland and ice Cream
Like the rainbows at day we chased the satellites by night

Money was hard to find during these times
Again we would get into her car, gasoline then was only few dimes
The light in the night we wanted to find
We would search for the beginning of this bright bean in the sky

All of us in this son’s mother eyes
The light sometimes took us to a market just new or
Often a premier of movie not yet viewed.
All the sights of these, we would all cry..
For candy or plead to our mother “could we please go inside?
Only now does this mother’s son come to know how she
Labored so hard to her reluctant words of “no”

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites.
Does ma ma know how much the loves grows
In my heart and in the children of my own.

We have had some break- in's in the neighborhood so for Christmas we are investing in a security system. Not to mention we well have a new member of the family some time in January. Pictures to come.
