So when you start a blog, there is always the pressure of a great title. Keep it catchy, yet funny. Because of our all girls situation, we had to take advantage of that....

So we have had mixed reviews about our blog title. We tend to occasionally shock people! Abe has a way of rubbing his opinion on me, and I should not have fallen. It was funny for a couple of days, and even though I would hope our thoughts on the word cock would stay pure, at the end of the day it is not just another word for the animal rooster. Needless to say we have changed the title.

A few years ago we came to a point in our life where we had to make big decisions. We had more than out grown our house, and so we were at a crossroad. Do we stay and rebuild, or should we go??? Through prayers and a lot of thought we decided to stay. Our plans were drafted (more than once unfortunately), and we started what has become our blood, sweat and a lot of tears on my part in June of 2008.

How would we have know it would be so hard. No one will never be able to comprehend the thousands of hours spent. Late nights, loneliness, heartache, stress, absolute exhaustion, financial strain, aches and pains, and constant blessings from our Heavenly Father. It is not a project, it has become a way of life. Each day blends into the next, rising to work till the sun goes down. I have imagined my children running around, the laughter echoing through the walls, this will be a haven for my girls to grow. To feel the spirit, and become daughters of God. Each day I remember as I rise how hard the day will be, then I am reminded of all of my blessings... There are so many blessings...

Am I lucky or what??? Abe is the love of my life, and is the best dad with girls. He teases, and tickles the way boys do, but is sweet, and writes them songs, and sings while they dance. He is strong, and shows example through his actions and hard work. He is Christlike, and loves the lord with all his heart. I am grateful for his companionship and friendship in my life, and I'm certain I will be laughing into my grave, for our life is never serious when he is around.

I have surrendered... I swore I would never find the time to blog, and yet here I am, trapped, totally engaged. I have to admit I am enjoying this.

For those that know Abe... He changed our title from Rooster to Cock. He did not want to be a rooster. "Cock", what a conveient way to describe him. He has oodles of confidence.

My purpose to blog is for my own personal history, but I am sure it will become a passion, and a fun way to pass the time. I am sending all of my girls away to school this fall. YIKES!!! I can only imagine how organized I will get.
