Mason Amyas Miller!

Most of you do not know but Norris and I are expecting our third child. We were waiting for this day before we shared the news. We are very excited and today we found out we were having a boy, Mason Amyas Miller! Ok I must say that we were convinced it was a girl, however God had a different plan which is always a better plan. Immediately afterward, I could not wrap my head around this as I thought my intuition was right and knew it was a girl. Although I did have a dream early in the pregnancy that it was a boy, so I must have just tricked myself into thinking it was a girl. Anyway, in my quiet moment, I spoke to God about this wonderful blessing, and I realized that he knows what we need better than we do. And I realize that the world needs more Godly men (especially African American men) who serve his kingdom. We have been given this task. And for the one second that I may have been disappointed, that will be the only second because I realize what a wonderful blessing it is to be able to bring a healthy child into this world. Each of our children are wonderful in their own rite and I look forward to raise three boys that love God and are best friends to each other. Not to mention I will be the only Queen in the house, which is not a bad deal, as they already take such good care of me!

My 31st birthday!

Well I have to say I had a wonderful 31st birthday! It is amazing to me how times have changed and how I choose to spend my birthday these days in comparison to how I used to spend them, not too many years ago. Mainly, I just want some "me" time. A day where I feel no guilt about doing something simply that I enjoy. For instance, I had breakfast by myself, while trivial to some this for me was the start of a great day. I rarely get a chance to eat slow :) without someone tugging on me or asking for more of this or that. My food was actually hot- this was fabulous. I am sure you other moms out there understand where I am coming from with this one. Second, I went to the spa, this was nice just sitting and relaxing- someone else doing all the work. Third, I had a day date with Norris, which was so nice because he took a half day just to spend with me and we went out for an early dinner/late lunch while the kids were still at school. He then planned a movie outing, getting the babysitter and everything. This was impressive. He never seizes to amaze me, but when he goes the extra mile like this it really makes me fall deeper for him. He also got me a baskin robbins ice cream cake which I absolutely love. Overall, it was a fabulous day and at the end I realized that while I do need my me time every now and then to recharge my battery, I love love love spending time with my family and this was a great way to end the evening, at home with everyone tucked safely in their beds. Thanks God for all your blessings for 31 years!
