I can't believe how time flies when your having fun...
or trying to do God's will, loving my husband, being pregnant, changing diapers,
cleaning up after kids all day, homeschooling, nursing, doing dishes, washing clothes, trying to cook,
and now trying to eat well and workout!
13 kids, 3 houses, lots of cars and vans...owning our own business, starting new jobs, working from home...I am so glad God put us together!
I was 21 when we got married, then pregnant on our honeymoon, and pregnant again 6 months after our first was born...it didn't seem young then! I wouldn't of changed a thing. God was with us each step of the way!!!
Can't
believe I still fit in it!
Every year I try to get in my dress...the kids used to like it...well, now the big kids think it is weird...but the little kids still think it is neat...here are some comments from my kids: "they even put
shoulder pads in wedding dresses???" "you actually fit in it this year!"
"Please take it off, this is so weird!" "were those the shoes you wore
too? Oh, never mind, they didn't have heels back then!"
b) Say your daily
prayers: morning/meals/night-(guardian angel prayer, act of contrition, rosary)
c) Talk to your
guardian angel frequently
d) Read your bible
e) Remember you
can talk to God whenever and wherever
f) Ask Him to
protect you before you drive
g) Daily mass is
the key to a closer relationship and wisdom to HIS will-do a spiritual
communion if you can’t make daily mass
2.Keep good company with well respected friends
3. Study hard/work
hard-when you are in school work your hardest. When you are at work be diligent
and a hard worker
4. Respect-those
around you and your surroundings
5. Don’t drink
until you are 21 and when you do drink don’t drive and don’t ever get drunk.
6. If you date (after
age 18- protect your purity with all you got! Your virginity is your gift to
your spouse on your wedding night. Remember our rules and don’t put yourself in
any situation that you may compromise your values.)
7.
Reputation-guard yours and respect others. Don’t cause others reason to talk
bad about you and don’t ever speak mean of others. Remember what Gram would
say, “IF YOU CAN’ T SAY ANYTHING NICE, DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!”
8. Stay close to
your siblings…they are your lifelong friends! Be a good example and guide your
younger siblings!
9. Social Media is
useful, but be careful what your post and read…remember that real people and
real relationships are important, talking in real life is crucial.
10. Drive safely,
be aware of your surroundings and don’t text and drive.
