Dear Santa, you can skip my house this year, I have everything I need....

This year, has been a great year. It was the start of my new life and it's been an exciting journey with its fair share of ups and downs. This year, Christmas will be different for me. It's the first year that I have been "on my own" for Christmas- that is, this is the first year that I will not wake up in my parents home with a bother or sister and hurry out into the living room rifling through our stockings while Dad showers and puts his contacts in. That's what happens when you grow up. This time it will be different, I imagine me and my husband sleeping in, mike halting opening presents because he still has to wrap mine, opening a couple presents, then me going on facebook or something else and michael heading into the other room to read comics or whatever it is he does. Reality has hit and I am no longer a child. Although things are changing and this Christmas won't be the same, there are several things that will make this a very special Christmas.

1. This is my first Christmas with my Husband. we even got an "Our First Christmas" Ornament, although i didn't even put it up until tonight.

2. Two perfect angels came into our lives and came home just in time for Christmas. I would have given all my Christmas presents just to make sure they got to come home and be with my sister. Luckily, they came home right in time and we now have a larger group to celebrate with.

3. My inlaws will be getting their first home in 15 years. They might not move in Christmas day, but it will be soon.

4. Because I am short on money, I have been forced (in a good way) to really focus on the "True Meaning of Christmas" where as before with all the new gadgets and goodies it is sometimes hard to focus on the most important thing- Christ our Savior. This Christmas I have been able to focus more on the fact that Jesus is the reason for the season and count all my blessings.

Christmas can be a sad time because it is the end of a year; a whole year has gone by. I've been married almost a year! But it is also an excititng time for it brings with it new hopes and opportunities. We shall see what the future holds for us Lambsons. Hope it's great!!!!!!

The Lord Knows What is Best

My sister has had her share of ups and downs the past few months. After going into preterm labor at 28 weeks, the babies have been in the ICU now for 2 months and one day. On tuesday, my sister was supposed to do a Room in with one of her babies. After she stays the night at the hospital with the baby, they can take them home. Well, tuesday she went to the hospital to get started and the ICU nurse that my sister has never seen and has never worked with the babies told her that they were not ready to go home. Obviously my sister was very upset becasue she was so excited to go home with her babies after such a long wait. I was talking to my sister and told her that there is obviously a reason why the babies couldn't come home, we just don't know what it is, but the lord does and he is protecting her. Well today we got our answer.

Yesterday, my sister was complaining of a stomach ache and nausia. This morning she woke up with yellow eyes and later at the hospital they found her stomach was jaundiced as well. They rushed her into the ER where they did some tests and found out that her gall bladder needs to be removed.

Had my sister taken the babies home, she would have had to spend the night at the hospital and would not be able to care for the babies.

The Lord really does have plans for us and he is aware of what is going on in our lives. It is amazing yet still difficult to trust in him and his timing sometimes.

My sister has grown so much as a person these past months and you can see her strenth and outlook on life have changed. We have come to learn more and more that with christ all things are possible; prayers are answered and the priestood is a powerful thing. How blessed we are to know these things and to be able to celebrate the birth of our lord and savior Jesus Christ, who has made all things possbile.

Christmas Time

Well Christmas is officially on its way~ it sure did come fast. I can't believe this year is almost over and I have almost been married one year. Gosh how time flies. New jobs, new friends, new residency, new hopes and wishes. This year has not really felt like Christmas too me. In years passed, I always was so excited for Christmas; I enjoyed shopping and decorating and spending time with my family. This past little while has been really stressful for me and it just doesn't feel like it used to. I think part of that comes with growing up- and growing up I am. I now have so much to focus on and so many worries, I've been having a difficult time getting in the spirit of the season. I'm hoping now that school is over, I can begin to enjoy it a little more. Afterall, it is because of Christ and everything he has given us that we live in this country and are able to celebrate the season. I really am grateful for all that I have been given. While it is so easy to focus on the negativity and financial woes that my little family experiences, the good thing is that there is always hope. There is hope because we have a Savior and with him, anything is possible. I think this year is going to give me the opportunity to focus on the real meaning of the Season and try and be a little better. I am so grateful for Christ and that my prayers are with out a doubt always answered. We have been so blessed this year in ways that I never would have expected. So I wish you all a Merry Christmas despite the stress and uncertain times we live in, there is one constant and sure thing; Jesus IS the reason for the season.

The Best Thing I Have Ever Seen!!!

So I got this email from my mom the other day and I thought it was the best thing I have ever seen so I wanted to share it with you!!!!!!!!! I only wish they would do it!!!

Thought you might get a laugh out of this...

You know what would really TICK OFF the Democrats...

Bush should resign now.

Then Dick Cheney becomes President (that would really tick OFF the libs!!!)

Then he appoints Condoleeza Rice as VP.

Then Cheney resigns two weeks later and Condoleeza Rice, A Republican,

becomes the first BLACK - WOMAN President!!!

Democrats say the Darndest Things!

Here is a post of all the outrageously stupid things I have heard democrats say after the recent election....This is not made up, I really heard people say these things! Enjoy!!!!

- in reference to what the Damage Obama will cause "Things can't get any worse than they already are."
Wow, so when you have no home, no food, no money,no rights and people are murdering in the streets, just look back and remember what you said!

- "I didn't know any of the people on the ballot so I just voted for whoever had the coolest sounding name." Wow, and you wonder why our country sucks?

- "If you don't like it, just move to Arizona with all the other Mormons." Ha Ha Ha now that's just plain funny!

- "I am finally proud of my country"
Democrats, the epitome of patriotism!!! NOT!

- "I am so proud to have voted for the first Black President."
Excuse me, but isn't he only 1/2 black? What makes him anymore black than white? So would that mean if I ran for president and won, I would be the first Irish president, since I have Irish in my blood. This makes absolutely no sense.

- "I bet you I can find a thousand people that like Obama." WoW! is that all?

Feel free to add any of your own ridiculous things you've heard democrats say, but remember, this is my blog so if you write something other than that or in favor of him, I will delete it. Have fun!!!!!!


And Finally, A word of the wise from the Republican side

"I already have a messiah, I wanted a president!"

A little bit bothered.

After last nights election, many of my liberal friends have been cited saying, " I'm so proud of my country. I'm proud to be an American." So my question is, You're only proud to be an American if your guy wins? That is devastatingly pathetic. Really, this is a way of saying, I'm proud that my guy won.. Having your guy win and being appreciative and happy to live in the country that you do are two totally different things. The only reason you were able to vote and express your opinion is because you live in America.- You should be proud no matter who wins because you have the ability and RIGHT to freely express and vote. If your man doesn't win, suck it up and be grateful to live in the most free country in the world, and don't just be proud to be an American because things worked in your favor. You should be proud to be an American each and every day because we have the freedoms that so many other countries will never have. Being a true American means graciously accepting other's differences and appreciating what we have, win or lose. And so I might say to those people, I am proud to be an American; but disgraced by your actions. People need to wake up. This isnt American Idol. This is America.
