Home Sweet Home

I'm enjoying my time home in Missouri! I've caught up with friends, enjoyed time with my family, and just enjoy the break from my normal life.

A few observations so far:
- I miss cold weather....except for how cold the toilet seat gets. I forgot about that!

- Chloe looks like she's homeless in winter clothes, for some reason (I think because they don't fit well but I just brought what I had)...so, for her sake, I'm glad she wears summer clothes (shallow of me, I know).

- I forgot how much I love my hairdresser here. He cuts and colors my hair better than anyone else!

- I haven't been honked at all week while driving, which is a refreshing change of pace (south FL drivers are rude).

- I looked at some maternity clothes today at the mall, but not one ounce of me could purchase them yet (even though I'm showing already...at 9 weeks). Wearing tents for the next 8 months is more than my fragile ego could handle at the moment :).

- I will never own a dog. Ever. My parents' dogs are on my last nerve. On the positive side, my kids are not afraid of them, which is a miracle!

- Luke is at that age where going out to eat is not worth the trouble.

- While I love visiting my hometown, Florida is my home...and there's no place like home (even if it doesn't have good Chinese food).

    I'm so with you on the dog issue! Anna loves them and thinks they're hilarious so whenever I tell Mike that I can see the panic in his eyes that I will ask him for a dog. He has nothing to worry about. We will just enjoy our friends dogs because we don't know anyone around here without dogs!

Women Are Powerful

In the past few Family First Friday posts, I have encouraged you to respect your husband, speak to him kindly, and be considerate (among other things). One might mistake these qualities as a woman who is a doormat, without an opinion, who never shares her thoughts. A godly woman is anything but those. God created women to be powerful . Amazingly powerful. Though God designed an order to families, women are not less than or inferior. We are different than men, but we are just as valuable. Unfortunately, many women misuse the power the Lord has given them through manipulation and control. Those are grave errors and will destroy a marriage (and a person). As I refer to power, I am definitely not speaking of those things. The power I speak of is the unique call of God for women to fulfill the destiny He has planned for each of us. This power is honoring of men (and other women) and does not fear losing control. I often tell my kids: "God created you to do something on this e

And Baby Makes 6

Baby Williams #4 is on the way!! We are beyond thrilled. I am due June 22, so I am about 4 and 1/2 weeks along. Each time I have been pregnant, I can almost tell immediately....I get insanely tired and very emotional (some might call it irritable). Because of that, I have never actually surprised Brett with a pregnancy. For a week leading up to taking a test, I say about 431 times a day, "I think I am pregnant"....so by the time I take the test, it is no surprise. I plan for this to be my last pregnancy. The only reason I don't say that without absolute certainty is because anytime I try to make "my" plans, God surprises me....but our plan is to stop with 4. I feel like this will be my last pregnancy, and for the first time ever, I am really excited about that! Because it's my last, I wanted to actually surprise Brett this time. Even though I felt tired and emotional, I did not mention thinking I was pregnant. As soon as I could, I took a test, an
