What is a true young man?

Lately I have had the question "What is a true young man?" run through my head. This question made me stop and think, because honestly to tell you the truth I have never really thought about this before until now. So below is my answer to this question:

A true young man loves the Lord with all of his heart, soul, mind, and strength. He is not scared to tell everyone about his Savior. He puts others before him-self. He loves being part of God's army. He is willing to lay down his life for the Lord and his wife. He saves his whole heart for the young lady the Lord has for him. He loves to make his wife laugh. He takes his role as leader seriously. He comforts his wife when she is sad and lonely. He helps out around the house. He cooks dinner for his wife when she's sick or when the baby is born.

I'm sure I'll come up with other answers to this questions as the years go by!

If you have never come up with ways that you think a true young man should be, then I encourage you to do so. I'm sure I'll be keeping this list for the future, because these are some of the qualities that I want in my husband.

Household Happenings ~ 3

Hey everyone! Just a quick post to let you all know that I'm still alive. I haven't been blogging much because Amber came down on Tuesday, and will be here until next Wednesday. But here is what we've been up to:

1. Spending time with Amber while she's here
2. Getting picture outfits ready for the coast tomorrow (I'll post the pictures of Amber, me, and Sydney)

I'm sure there are more happenings that I can't think of right now. Tomorrow Dad, Mom, Amber, Gabriela, Sydney, JC, Justin, and I will be taking a trip to the coast. While we are there my mom will be taking mine, Amber, and Sydney's pictures. So I will be posting all the pictures we take tomorrow some time soon.

Some exciting news!

Wednesday Mom and I were gettting some lunch when Amber called, now Amber seems to only call Mom when Mom is about to talk to some one or if she is going through the drive thru. Any way when Mom answers the phone she asks Amber what is going on. And all I hear is Mom gasp and ask "You're what?" Any guesses on what she told Mom?

If you guessed Amber's pregnant...you're RIGHT!!! Mom and Dad will be grandparents!! Sydney and I are so excited to finally become Aunt Ali and Aunt Sydney :D Amber is two months along and is due June 20, 2011! I am already counting down the days!!

On November 17, Kellyn & Amber will be visiting for Thanksgiving! We will be taking family pictures, so I will be posting the pictures sometime early December, because we are also going to Richardson, TX to visit my dad's parents for Thanksgiving weekend!

*Have a great weekend!*

Some ideas

I have some questions to ask you about ways to improve my blog posting, so my readers are reading what they like to hear.

1. Should I add interviews with young ladies?
2. Do you like God's amazing creation?
3. Do you like posts that involve more topics on purity, modesty, etc?
4. Do you like reading about what we've been up to?

I would really like your opinion, so if YOU want to, you can leave a comment telling me what YOU like more!

Thank you all :D
