Davis Daily Graces: The Beach: Day 2

John is my best friend, our family's leader, and the man God chose for me to spend the rest of my life with. I can say that with 100% confidence that God made us for each other, because only He could have brought us together! You see, John and I had known each other for more than 2 years before God alowed us to see each other through His eyes. We had mutual friends who were constantly trying to fix us up, yet neither one of us were the least bit interested. God arranged for us to be on a cruise in January 2006 together and to say that He moved mountains to bring us together is a gross understatement. It really was like I looked at him one moment and thought, Wow! I think my life is about to change forever! I am so blessed to have such an amazing man to share my life with. He has a servant's heart and is the calm, reassuring voice in my crazy high-strung life. He is an awesome daddy as well. I never met John's dad, he died one year earlier, to the date, that John and I shared our first kiss. However, I'd like to say that with each passing day, I get a small glimpse of what Sunny Davis must have been like as a dad, because his son is the best dad I could have ever dreamed of my children having.

I am extremely Type A and a tad bit high-strung, however, I love my family and they bring me to my calm, resting place each day. My favorite thing to do is to hang out with my family in our P.J.s and just spend time with one another. I am extremely close to my mom and would say that she is my best friend. I love children and would like to have a house full of them someday, if the Lord wills it so. I have always been told that I had an older soul. I can remember in high school waiting patiently for the day that I could have a family of my own. I feel like my life is complete with my family, however, I don't feel that my family is complete. We have struggled with infertility for the past 2 years and have suffered the loss of a baby at 12 weeks gestation. My heart aches for more children, yet I am learning to trust God and to be content with what He has blessed me with. I have lots of ambitions, but try to mold my activities according to the mission I feel God has called me to. I am in the process of starting an American Heritage Girls troop and want my life to be spent winning over young girls for the Kingdom of God.

Allie Cameron Davis came into my life on March 19th, 2008 at 1:36 a.m. After 24 weeks of "all-day" sickness, a contantly dislocating pelvis, and then a broken and dislocated tailbone at 33 weeks, I never thought that precious child would ever arrive. She did arrive, and 3 weeks early, weighing a moderate 8lbs 9oz at 21inches long! I am affraid of what she would have weighed had she cooked for another 3 weeks! She has brought us joy through so many trials in her short little life. When Allie was 9 months old, I lost my dad to cancer. She was Papa's Angel while he was alive and now she is my mom's (Mimi) angel bringing her through the sadness. Allie has the funniest personality. She is a cobination of my Meme (her Super Meme) and John's mom. She never meets a stranger and is always keeping us on our toes! I pray that she would come to know Jesus as her Lord and Savior at a young age and that she would be influential in her school and community. I love this girl more than she could ever know. Next to being a great wife, being a good mommy to her is one of my biggest goals in life.

The Beach: Day 2

Well today stared out pretty much like yesterday. Allie headed to the beach with her daddy while mommy and mimi picked up the condo and got the "Beach" bag packed for a day at the pool! Last night we went to one of the souvenir shops and bought water guns to play with in the pool. Allie's friend Hayden came over to play with her in the pool. Little did he know she was locked and loaded for him when he got there. They had a blast squirting each other with the guns.

Tonight we met up with some of John's college friends that we ran into while we were down here. They have 3 precious girls and Allie thought she was just as big as they were. We went to eat at Lu Lu's and I have to say it was the most fun I have ever had at a restaurant. There was shopping and lots of play areas for Allie while we waited. Then after we ate, Allie got up and danced to the live music. She even got called up to the stage and got an autograph from the singer. Her daddy and I are a little worried about her teenage years. No concerts for this girl!

So much for the cute outfit.....this was how I found her after 5 minutes with Daddy!
