why?

Stuck Like Glue with another thought...

Husby has gone to work for a full day today and I am stuck at home with a mission to get all of the Christmas decorations taken down and put away. But... I am the Queen of procrastination and I sit here aimlessly trying to avoid the task...

I think about last night though... Cooper asking me "Do you think you have some right to know why God chooses to do things?"  We attended a friend of Cooper's Dad's wake last night. I got to meet Adam and his sister Lori, in which I have heard many stories from when they were growing up. It was nice to see Cooper catch up with a friend and reminisce about times on 4 wheelers and breaking objects, just like boys do.
Lori congratulated us on getting married and mentioned that she was recently engaged over Christmas break.
As we were getting in the car both Mr. Billy and Cooper were like he looked so different he was so young. And all I could think about is that is so unfair. Lori just got engaged and now her dad will not be there to walk her down the aisle. It was like she had been robbed of every little girls hope and dream. SO that is where Cooper's question came from was from my question... Why and how is it fair to have a little girl's image taken away in an instant... Why did God let this happen so close to her big day?"  But those questions I can ask, but it is not in God's plan for us to understand everything that happens. It is for me to have faith that something good or some amazing lesson will come out of this situation for Lori. She will still enjoy her big day and he daddy will be right in her heart celebrating her day with her. My heart just went out, I thought my world would fall apart when my Granma Robbie was diagnosed with breast cancer and could not come to the wedding,
but a father is whole different story.

That was a long post to come to terms that I can pray for a peace of the heart and a lot of Love.

Snow Days

Life gets so busy at times that the responsibilities of life interfere with the Loves of your life.  Cooper and I have been married for 3 months next Monday and there have been many days of fun and many days of run around to get too much done. So... these few days of SNOW, have been a huge blessing! We have chilled, snuggled, played in the snow, watched movies, and made some yummy dinners and then escaped in the Jeep for a little bit of 4 wheel drive fun.

I love off roading with Cooper. It fulfills his thrill of adventure and makes me smile to watch him be a kid again. Above was just a bit of fun we had after Waffle House! We watched Fireproof last night. It revealed a lot of struggle, but an understanding of how important the little sweet moments are for the other half of your life. The surprises and the simple thoughts are what let them know they are different from the rest of the world. Cooper is not just another person in my life, He is the other part of my heart and the one God united me with... So thank you God for these few days off just to enjoy one another. We are salt and pepper stuck together.
