My baby was honored

As I was sitting watching the memorial clips for officer Kent Mundell the other day I couldn't help but think of my little baby Timothy. If you weren't aware of it, Mr. Mundell and the other 4 officers who were so brutally killed after Thanksgiving were all taken care of and watched over at Mount View Cemetery. This is where my baby is resting today.

Mr. Mundell was being carried in a white hurse, one of the same ones that carried one of the four officers in Tacoma and one of the same ones that carried my little baby.

The people at the cemetery treated my little precious baby the same way they treated the officers who served and died for the people of Washington State. They took care of him and guarded his body and drove him in a beautiful white hurse to his resting site. They did all of this without hesitation with love for me and my family as well as for my son. And they did all this for free.

Strangers lined the streets to give honor and to pay respect to the officers. Hundreds of people were at the memorials even though they had never met the officers themselves. And they will forever be remembered by their friends and family. Being honored means being respected.
My son to was honored by strangers just for being my baby and he is forever remembered by his loved ones. I am just amazed by the love and the respect the people at Mount View gave us and gave our son.

Smoking and weight loss


Rob told me on December 30th that he was going to quit smoking, Praise the Lord for this. I didn't know that he was going cold turkey though. He started on the first and now it has been 5 days. I am so proud of him. Please pray for him to keep it up. This is his choice not mine so I am determined not to nag him, but to encourage him. One of the ways I am trying to encourage him is that I have started my New Years "diet". Really its not a diet, I've just cut way back on sugars and starches and calories. I asked Rob how long he thought he could go before it became unbearable for him and he said two weeks. So with that we have decided to keep each other accountable for only two weeks to start with. After two weeks we will go one week at a time. We both have to be honest with one another, which of course I'm all for that's one thing that keeps a marriage strong. No cheating. He's on day 5 and I'm on day 4. I didn't know he was going cold turkey until half way through the 1st of the year that's why I'm one day behind. This is a huge answer to prayer for me in so many ways. I'm so proud of my husband.
