Jane Kimmel Updates!!

So..... Jane Kimmel is growing up WAY to fast. I miss my baby, but we love this toddler stage. She is a happy little thing and minds pretty well (when she wants to). She is obsessed with all Disney movies. She loves 101 Dalmatians, Cinderella, Snow White, Nemo/Neno :), Sleeping Beauty, and anything that involves dress up cloths. She always has bracelets, shoes, and necklaces on. She also loves to be outside! We often go see the horses down the street, which she is amazed by. She likes to ride her 4 wheeler and her car on a day to day bases. The only problem is it is FREEZING outside! Needless to say, we are ready for Spring to arrive! She also loves to read and vacuum... hahaha she is my child! Her aunt moget is her favorite these days, and I do get my feelings hurt a lot :( She always wants aunt moget ( love you sis). Stickers are her new "thing" and they end up on her face a lot thanks to Dada. We love bubble baths and brushing our teeth as well! Jane Kimmel is very active as you can tell and keeps Lewis and I laughing all the time. I love when she talks... you can't make out half of what she is saying but the conversation will go on for at least 5 min (hahaha I think she gets that from me). We are so thankful for our little butter bean. Life Would not be the same without her! Enjoy the new pictures :)

loves that 4 wheeler, but as you can tell....she makes me really nervous on it

New Addition???

Lately, I have been wanting a new addition to the Buford Clan! Since lew and I are not planning on any babies anytime soon, why not a little puppy!!! Jane Kimmel and I have discussed it, and we are both set on a YES! However, daddy is not. Not to mention, we actually are not allowed to have pets where we live, but since our landlords are so sweet I bet Jane Kimmel could work on them a little bit :) haha. I LOVE St. Bernards! My mom had one a couple of years ago, and his name was Chandler. He was the sweetest and biggest ball of fur ever! Jane Kimmel loves dogs to, but daddy wants a "huntin dawg" (should have known). I hope one just doesn't show up on the front porch :) (hehe). Anyway, here are some precious pictures of St. Bernards!!

I mean... how could you not want this?

It could even be a nice watch dog Lew...

Hopefully this will be our family one day!! (I say YES, Lew say's NO)

In Training....

In this new year, the Lord has been calling me to run... run... and run. What brought on this erg?? hahaha I am not sure. Yes, of course to feel better about myself and look better as well, but I think he is preparing me for something bigger. Jane Kimmel and I have signed up to run in the Oxford Run for Hope, which benefits children with diabetes and cancer, the Relay for Life, which also goes to cancer patients, and the March of dimes. Running has become my quiet time with God and a little "me" time. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it! I hope to next year be running in the Frost Bite, which is a half marathon here in Starkville. Mrs. Orly Hardin, my boss, mentor, and friend has inspired me to do so :). I am thinking that this is the Lords way of telling me to slow down my busy life and just enjoy something as simple as running. So... for the next few weeks/months, I will be "in training" on my walk with the Lord as well as a 10k! Pray for me and wish me luck!!

"This is my command-be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart;do not depend own your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." Proverbs 2:9

"He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me."
Psalm 62:6-7

"So don't worry, because I am with you. Don't be afraid, because I am your God. I will make you strong and will help you; I will support you with my right hand that saves you." Isaiah 41:10

My Bucket List :)

1) run a marathon ( haha or a half marathon will suffice)

2) get my pilots license

3) go skydiving... yes my friends, I want to jump out of a plane! (call me crazy)
