Psalm 20:4

Psalm 20:4 May he grant you heart's desires and make all your plans succeed. 


Do you ever have those days when you feel like you are not one of the "lucky" ones in life? Maybe, you feel like someone got a better job than you when you worked harder or everything is going "right" for someone else and not you? Yep, I was having one of those days-Today :(. I hate it when I drown myself in a pity-party but sometimes it's good for the soul..just don't let it last to long. 


Tonight I was reminded that we all have those days. I was thumbing through Grant's study Bible that I bought him 6-26-06 (the date is written up front). I came across Psalm 20:4. The theme that describes these verses says this: A prayer that carries us from great suffering to great joy. Life is going to bring both. Sometimes, we might feel like it is bringing us more suffering than joy :) and that's ok. One of my dear friends said this tonight: Walking in the valleys enables us to recognize and appreciate the peaks! What? That is awesome! 


I was talking to my mom today about our upcoming treatment..and crying..and missing her all at the same time. Not a good combo! She told me a cute story. She said that when I was little I was a difficult child to raise! Haha! She couldn't understand why I was so strong-willed, hard-headed & had to do things my way. Now, she believes it was God's way of making me strong & able to deal with life's different blows. I can see that! Thank you Mom!!


It's 11:40pm & feel much better now that I have blogged! Ah! Leave you with this thought. Never stop praying, even in your darkest moments he is always there to listen!

What Spring Brings

As I sit & enjoy this beautiful weather, I think about what this time of the year brings to my life. I love this time of year. It seems that the air is clear (no pollen) just yet, the mornings are cool & the grass is still wet from the dew, the afternoons get longer and the sunsets are so full of color.  So enough of all of what I enjoy...let's get down to what it really brings to the Roberts Casa. Baseball...Lots & Lots of baseball. No complaints but I spent 6 hours Saturday watching baseball..I did do minor coaching from the sideline :) What can I say...
The Wallace Govs (the team Goose coaches for) is doing good. We had a nice winning streak until this weekend..Split the tournament. I will say I love going to the games..Not only for the baseball but I get to see my husband go back to his passion.
My Amazing Husband # 29
This spring is also bringing us another IVF treatment. I took some much needed time off from the needles, hormones & blessed weight gain :). Oh the joys. I started the Vivelle today. It is the estrogen patches & this is used to help the lining of the uterus. Amazing what the body adapts to. We have our first appt w/Dr. Freeman 3/25 & this is the ultrasound appt. to check & make sure all is well on my insides :) Woohoo..So when the nurse told me our transfer date I died laughing...you will too...April Fools?? Really?? God has a sense of humor for sure. I am trying to be even keel about this treatment. I have really been praying for peace in my heart...Do keep us in your thoughts this next month. 

I do have so fun news about this upcoming weekend. Rarely, do Grant & I get a wknd full of fun. We (baseball team) has a tournament in Mobile, Al this upcoming wknd. Yay! Friday night we are doing to The Wharf to see Blackberry Smoke & Zac Brown Band. Yes, people in their 30's can still party a tad :).  I also plan on doing some outlet shopping...maybe finding some neat antique/thrift stores..who knows.  I did find a cupcake bakery I will be gps & find!!!

Absolute 1st Time Ever Blogging :)

Grant coaching his boys.


This is a whole new world for me. Facebook is one thing but to be able to "blog" my thoughts? Unfiltered? Not sure this is such a good idea!! I will try & keep it clean & fun :). Just kidding. I will start this blog off by justa quick intro into the Roberts life. I am 29 (1mth) away from approaching 30!!! Are you kidding me?? I could go on and on about that! Grant (my better 1/2) he's 33. I am a skincare/facialist & waxing specialist..he's a retired mlb player & now full-time student & is the pitching coach @ Wallace College..Our local junior college.  So much of our time is spent @ the ball-field...I am also a part-time coach :) Ha!

We have been married for almost 4 years..been together 6. It has been a journey filled with ups, downs, tears but a lot of laughter. A lot of laughter!!! I could not be the strong woman I am today without him. Grant is my best friend.
