Update on Amden

Amden is home from the hospital. He is doing well. Amber is breast-feeding Amden. Both mommie and daddy are blessed by Amden's presence. My sister, Courtney (Amden's grandmother) is with them. She was going to email me pictures, but she does not have internet where they are living. I hope to have more to share with you, later.

Thank you for your prayers, love, encouragement and support. I am confident Amden will teach all of us a lot about "real" love. We are truly blessed to have him as a member of our family.

Blessed to be loved,

Andrea

PS: Thank you, Edie for making Amden a beautiful prayer button. You are awesome!

Kreativ Blogger Award

Today, I received a beautiful surprise from a "super-special" blogging friend. Allelliuabelle at Humble As I Go has a heart full of love, overflowing into the heart of every person who reads her blog. She is a prayer warrior and beautiful person inside out. I am humbled to be chosen by this dear friend. I am amazed by her strength as she reaches out to others in the midst of her own struggles. Both she and her husband face daily medical challenges, yet she is faithful to serve the Lord and encourage everyone. Please stop by and check out her blog.

I am required to nominate 7 other bloggers for this award and they are supposed to nominate 7 others. (Be sure to leave a comment on their blog about the award.) After they accept the award they are then asked to write a list of 7 things that their blog readers may not already know about them. I would like to pass this award on to the following:

1)Heart 2 Heart
2)Dear Craisin
3)An Ordinary Girl Living and Ordinary Life
4)The Dreamers Day
5)Deeper With Jesus In Rhode Island
6)Blue Bird Notes
7)Crayon Chronicles

Choosing only seven was quite the challenge. I follow so many "kreativ" blogs. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Seven things about me:

1)I grew up primarily being raised by my maternal grandparents. My parents were a part of my life, however, my grandparents are primarily responsible for the person I am today. My parents were very young when I was born (mother 15, father 19). They were married, but clearly children attempting to raise children.

2)I love all aspects of GOD's creation. My dream is to live anywhere placing me with both a mountain and ocean view all wrapped into one.

3)Writing is a passion. I began writing at age 12. Writing is therapy for me. It is embedded into my being. My greatest fear is losing my vision and being unable to read and write.

4)I love "alone" time! I yearn for time alone with GOD and I am not a nice person if I do not get it.

5)I eat all foods accept for "liver" and "jello."

6) I am an animal lover as most of you know, however I am EXTREMELY AFRAID of mice. If you want to see me act like a complete fool, let a teeny tiny mouse loose. I will make my way onto your shoulders until it is extracted from my midst.

7)As long as I can remember, I wanted to be Mary Tyler Moore when I grew up. I wanted a 64 1/2 mustang convertible, too.

For those of you who did not know how crazy I am. You now have a glimpse into the crazy life of Andrea. I hope each of you will enjoy this award and continue to live out the "kreativ" life.

Blessed Beyond Comprehension,

Andrea
