Day 14 (part 2)

Later today I left a rock at in the big pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. After the beach and a fun dinner at Rubys, we took the Lee's to "PATCHIN TIME" (that is what Abbey alwasy called the Pumkin city). Just when we thought we had seen the last of those days. Abbey was OVER going to the pumkin patch. How fun it was to go again and see the magic in a small childs eyes. I even caught some in Abbey "teen" eyes. And of course so fun to enjoy it with our cousins. Gabby was so... excited to ride the pony. Sorry tired little horses. Abbey even won a big pumpkin for a quarter. Thank you God for PUMPKINS!

Day 14

Today I left 2 rocks (I am always forgetting so I thought it was ok). I left the first one at the Laguna Beach when we went to watch the sunset with the Lee's. Our cousins came down from Bakersfield for a visit. We finally got to meet little Elli. It was so fun to out run the waves and watch Gabby and Mike play in the water. Abbey seems to just love to sit and watch the waves and soak in the beauty. Thanks God for the beach, cousins and my family.

Day 13

Ok, so NO I do not remember to take a rock with me EVERY day. Some days I do remember but forget to leave it where I meant to. I do not even always get to post these the same day I do it. But I do keep a list on a pad by my desk and post when i find time. The POINT is to remember the blessings God gave me or how He spoke to me or shined his light on me.

So to HELP myself remember to count my days as joy and leave my ROCK's i left one on my desk today by my computer. Yes I count my computer as a joy because it allows me to connect with many dear friends. I have given and receive so much through email. Use what God gives you. If you think of someone send them a note and tell them. You never know what kind of day they are having and just one little piece of non work or junk email may be just what they needed. Put a rock on your desk today :)

Day 12

Today I left my rock on the sidewalk outside Lakeside Chinese Cuisine in Mission Veijo. The gals in my couples small group had "ladies day out". The food and service was good as well as a good deal. After lunch we walked over to Flo Jo park and walked about 4 laps. It is always good to get out with great friends and enjoy a beautiful day. Thanks ladies.

Day 11

Today was fun. I left my rock at Covenant Hills Park in Ladera Ranch. My Treasured (moms) group met there with the kids. Gabby had so...much fun. It is always great to get together with them. I am so greatful God put these ladies in my life.

Day 10

Today I did not really go anywhere but as i walked into the girls room this afternoon, I smiled and knew just where to leave my rock. Thanks God for my 2 wonderful girls. (and Nap time :) I placed my rock next to Gabby's bible. She sleeps with rock often and will be excited for a new one.

Day 9

So Tuesday I left my rock on a table outside the refinery. I LOVE this place. A few other moms and I from Treasured took the kids and had hot dogs after bible study and let them play in the water. It was so fun to watch the kids and just laugh together. Thanks God for Tamara and Teya.
