Really?!
Ok so here is my crazy kid moment for you....I just made homemade pizza. Avery and Gabe wanted to help me of course so they did. Their favorite part is putting on the cheese and they love to snack on the cheese too! So I was done with the pizza making and cleaning it up, I put the empty sauce can inside the empty cheese bag and threw it in the trash. Well my son...who must have not had enough cheese...goes into the garbage and gets out the bag, sticks his hand inside and well... I hear screaming and crying! He had stuck his fingers inside the can and I pulled it out and he has sauce and blood all over his hand!! He cut his fingers on the can that was inside the bag!! REALLY?!!! does this stuff really happen? haha!! I mean it's not funny, but so dumb!! what are the odds of that moment happening? So he is all good, Jeremy washed his hands off to find the cuts and he is all bandaged up. Hopefully he'll keep the bandaids on this time :) AHHH my sweet boy!!!

My Love
As usual it's been awhile since I've blogged! This pregnancy, especially during the summer, just sucked my ambition right out of the window!! That heat man just did me in!! But now that it's my favorite time of year and cooler weather, I have a new wind at my back! Much more energy and it feels really good!! So I have been thinking about my husband a lot and I wanted to blog/brag about him :) My love.
As most of you probably already know we met 11yrs ago. He was 15 and I was 16. He actually is the cousin of one of my dearest friends in high school (and to this day!). When I 1st saw him I didn't think much, I actually put more thought into his brother (weird!), but ironicly I remember nothing about Bryan, but I remember EVERYTHING about Jeremy! See he was younger than me so I though...No way! But God has a funny since of humor and is always placing me right back at those..No way Never moments!! I'm SO glad he did.
So what was it about Jeremy that I liked...well to be honest at the time I was a 16, then 17 year old young women who was plain glad to have a guy "like" her. So that got me interested. But the more I got to know Jeremy the more amazing he became!! He was SO attentive. Which really threw me because it is something I had never seen before. He wanted to be with me, to know me. Now again being a stupid 17 yr old I thought it was "clingyness" and it put me off a bit, but it prevailed in the end!! So when we started dating I fell so hard for him quickly!! His attentiveness, he was a gentelmen, curtious, smart, sweet, loving, musical and most of all I knew he loved Jesus! I saw it and knew it!! We would talk about God, he would read his bible with me, we just shared and talked a lot! He's an amazing writer too!! He has written me poems that you wouldn't believe! This mind God gave him is amazing, I think I am seeing that more and more the longer I know him!! He was totally respectful too!! That and maybe the thought of my dad coming after him was real too! haha!! But I know he was genuin. Proof of that was our vow to stay pure till marraige. And yes my friends we were!! I praise God for that!! We dated for 4 1/2 yrs before we married and let me tell you it was a long 4 yrs sometimes!! It was probably the hardest thing we did!! We had our trials and errors, but God was faithful and we new the reward of waiting in the end and worked really hard!! The eye he has for me sometimes bewilders me...probably just because I am a women, but it's amazing! No matter what kind of day I am having or feeling about myself and my body..he has NEVER made me feel more than the most beautiful women in the world! I know his eye is pure for me and his love for me is real. That is something I will truley cherish in him!!
Knowing Jeremy as his wife now is so different in many ways. There is a trust there, one that was started in dating but put in full bloom in marraige. He trusts me with his thoughts and dreams...his true heart. That is what I ment by being so amazed by his mind!! His passion for the things God has placed in his heart overwhelmed me at 1st!! I thought they were amazing, but maybe not for me...well like I said before God has had to take me back to those places of...NEVER NO WAY, and gently say Yes Layne, for you and your husband. So I have had to really look at my heart and learn to trust God and my husband and say YES!! Now I am so excited for what God has for me and Jeremy!! God is growing us and changing us everyday. Molding us into the couple and individuels we need to be for our futures. Doors have opened up and begun to happen!! It's funny too because the one thing I really missed about dating was all the dreaming Jeremy and I did together. We would always talk about our future kids, home, cars, wedding (well that was me :) ) and then when we got married all those things started to come true and I don't think we were dreaming together like we used too. But then God gave my husband a dream and passion and once I moved through my fears and "wants" and opened my heart to God will, we started to dream again!! But dreaming bigger and better than ever!! God's dreams are so much more amazing than the ones we can come up with!! I mean marriage, babies, homes and things are all good (and things I still dream about!!), but when you know your are dreaming things of God and saying yes, all those other things are just cherries on the sunde!!
My husband....My Jeremy.....My very best friend is one of the most amazing, smart, loving, thoughtful, passionate, talented, Godly men I have ever known and I am so proud to call him mine!! I know God will be using him is such an amazing way to reach this world. With Gods grace and love I know I will be his biggest cheerleader! I will be by your side Jeremy cheering you on all the way! I have such respect for you, faith and trust in you I know we can conquer this world together for God glory!! Every woman should know whats it's like to have a man they feel that way about!! I'm so glad I do! I love you forever Jeremy Thomas!! Thank you for being you and listening to God's heart for you and us! For being an amazing daddy to our babies and the most amazing husband to me!! all my love, your wife xxoo
