The Resolution

Steven got this for me for my anniversary me:

I DO solemnly resolve before, God to take full responsibility for myself, my wife, and my children.
I WILL love them, protect them, serve them and teach them the Word of God as the spiritual leader of my home.
I WILL be faithful to my wife, to love and honor her, and be willing to lay down my life for her as Jesus Christ did for me.
I WILL bless my children and teach them to love God with all of their hearts, all of their minds, and all of their strength.
I WILL train them to honor authority and live responsibly.
I WILL confront evil, pursue justice, and love mercy.
I WILL pray for others and treat them with kindness, respect, and compassion.
I WILL work diligently to provide for the needs of my family.
I WILL forgive those who have wronged me and reconcile with those I have wronged.
I WILL learn from my mistakes, repent of my sins, and walk with integrity as a man answerable to God.
I WILL seek to honor God, be faithful to His church, obey His Word, and do His will.
I WILL courageously work with the strength God provides to fulfill this resolution for the rest of my life and for His glory.
"As for me and my house we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15

Just some fun



We went bowling and Illianna beat me by three points! It was a very fun day. She is seriously a natural. She is growing up to be such a big girl. I love watching her grow and learn.

Wow






Wow it has been WAY to long! I promise I will get better at doing this...
So What's new since I last posted. We moved from number 7 to number 1 which has crappy carpet but it is a two bedroom with an actual bathroom! An actual kitchen, with two oven! And both Illianna and Steven and I have separate rooms, Steven and I still share. But now Illi's can't spy on us... :)
Illianna is now TWO!!! She is still 19 pounds. She is crazy fun! I need to start potty training her since her new routine is to wake up and strip naked. I am glad she doesn't do it in public but now a days she wants to get dressed herself and wants to get undressed her self and she still strongly hates diaper changes. For her birthday Steven and I bought her an animal sound puzzle and a princess tent. She ate a mini chocolate cupcake for papa Mark. It was pretty much a normal day in my opinion.
Steven and I have now been married for a whopping FIVE YEARS!!! I can't even believe it!
For our anniversary I bought Steven the online Star Wars game and a 60 day play card. I also bought him a superman mug.
After watch the movie Courageous he was inspired to order a copy of the Resolution that they sign. I will write the whole thing in my next post. It also came with a "I will" wrist band. Two days later he bought me Pokemon Emerald for the GBA.
For the whole day Steven didn't have to worry about class. So After my AM class we went to the salon and both got hair cuts. I also got a deep conditioning thing that I don't know what it was for but it felt nice. I decided to go nuts and now I have short bangs. I haven't had bangs since elementary school. I am still getting use to it.
My buddy Joey watch Illianna for the night. We went out to eat at the Patio Grill. It was VERY good! Then we went and got couple massages. My first professional massage! It WAS AMAZING!!! I loved it!!
Well I think that is a good update of our events. Now please enjoy pics of my big two year old!
