Wedding Bells, Waddling Down the Aisle, and "Wing Bear" fun

My flower girl days:) 1987(I think)

On New Years of this last year, I got a phone call from my sweet friend Jackie! She had a super excited tone in her voice....she said,"Josh purposed...and I said yes!! Will you be in my wedding, July 26th, 2008?" I said, "OF COURSE....but....I also have news for you...I will be just about 8 1/2 months pregnant!!" She laughed and got excited and said, "well, we will just have to get you a different dress then the other girls:)!" So..we both got to share exciting and life changin news with each other that day. Jackie did find me the cutest dress that I could have asked for...infact...I think I liked it better then the bridemaid's, heehee.

Now, I have to share a few things leading up to this day. I have only been in three weddings in my entire life....well...three that I actually was walking down the aisle during. One was when I was like 6, I was a flower girl at my Aunt Kim's wedding probably like 1987....Second one was my very own wedding, 2004, and 3rd was my brother's wedding 2006!! I never really thought I would be in very many weddings. I have always been a friend to everyone!!! But, I have really only had a few best friends that would even consider me to be in their wedding. I tease my best friend Amybeth because she was one wedding I knew I would be in and she eloped to Hawaii, lol!!! But I was her bridemaid in spirit;) I have been pregnant for about 8 1/2 months and have been in 2 weddings this pregnancy;) LOL...I really do think it is funny that when I am actually in the weddings, I am waddling down the aisle....truely has been a humbling experience, heehee!

Jackie's wedding was amazing....TOTALLY Christ centered and beautiful! Jackie and Josh love each other so much and are a PERFECT match!!! Logan was priveldged to be asked to be Jackie's ring bear....or "wing bear" as he would say it. Infact the day of the wedding he was hoping his cousin Madison could be a "wing bear" with him. He adores his cousin Maddie. Logan did wonderful....drag the cute little flower girl down the aisle with him...but other then that, he was adoreable and did a great job. Logan isn't even 3 yet!!! I was so proud of him!

Saturday was a special day!!! Jackie has been waiting for her hubby...she has been very picky...she wanted to marry a strong Christian man and she was willing to wait til her perfect match appeared. God is sooo good and he is sooo faithful to those that honor him~ Congrats Jackie...may God bless you with LOTS OF babies and may God continue to work in both you and Josh's lives as I have seen it so much the last couple of years!!!

The sweet couple! They will have beautiful babies!!

Logan, Jackie, and Rachel....Logan isn't even three and Rachel just turned 7...Logan is just a little shorter then Rachel....I have such a tall boy;)
Jackie and I!

July 24, 2004-------4 years of total Joy:)

Jason and I have been married for 4 years! I could not ask for a more Godly and perfect husband. I am so thankful that my parents and grandparents prayed for my husband since the day I was born. All I can say is I see God's hand in the man I married more then I could ever explain or express. Jason is my second half. He is my best friend. I couldn't imagine this journey without him. Jason and I when we were engaged.
Wedding pics!
This day I married my best friend!
This is right after he saw me for the first time on our wedding day.
Jason is a wonderful provider and a wonderful husband. If I could give anyone any advice of what I have learned after 4 years of marriage it would be.....Selflessness. Jason has taught me this in every way. He is the most selfless person I know. Always putting Logan and I first in every way. He has taught me to be the same way and we really have a wonderful marriage! I love you Jason David Motsinger. I look forward to many more years to come!!!!

To France for the sake of eternity!

Don't ya ever just need a good reminder or wake up call when it comes to Eternity and where those around you are going to spend it? Fronter School of the Bible was a season of my life that was the most life changing and impacting season of my entire life(other then marriage and my babies). I was surrounded by wonderful Christain young adults who had a passion for Jesus and spreading the good news. I was lucky enough to score one of them as a sister in law(Morgy) and to still be best friends with another(Amybeth). But this week I was blessed with a visit with an ol' FSB pal. The first two things that I remember about meeting Seth Westhoff would be his laugh....for a small guy you could hear him anywhere in the room when he laughed. Just priceless. The other thing I remember from the start about him was his love and passion for the people of France. Seth loves France and Jesus and has been working ever since(6years later) to get to France and win people for Christ. Seth is super close to raising all his support. Please be praying for him in the next month as he travels to more church's to raise his last little bit. God is going to use this man to do Mighty things. I can't wait to hear what God has in store.
Morgan, Anni, Me, and Seth!

30 day Count Down!

I am officially 8 months pregnant! Starting my 9th month;) So, baby will be here before we know it! We are so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be or not to be....that is the question!

So....as you all know, Jason and I are expecting a little girl very soon. Infact if you look at it this way, anytime in the next four weeks, though I am sure it will be the later! I am officially going to be induced either the 15th or the 18th....we are voting more for the 18th...let our little girl cook the full 40 weeks;) I am super excited and really reality is hitting me that it will happen...yes, in the next month. I am painting her room this weekend( I have permission from my dr, ya'll...I know you were all thinking...WHAT your painting her room?? YES and I painted Logan's room too) Jason and I decided on the name Zoey, the day we found out God was blessing us with a BEAUTIFUL little girl. I already know how beautiful she is because, Good golly, have you not seen her handsome brother Logan???:) Well, before we ever picked the name Zoey, we had a name list that looked like this:
Zoey Lenae Motsinger
Olivia Lenae Motsinger
Mylee Lenae Motsinger
Haylee Lenae Motsinger
All of these names....we both LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, the other night Jason and I were talking....Jason said he is really falling in love with the name Mylee....not that he doesn't love Zoey but is thinking Mylee may be perfect for our little girl. So...I have decided to let Jason decide. I love all the names on the list above...my favorites are Mylee and Zoey...but I am letting Daddy name his little girl. We will see what Jason decides:) Of course, if Jason all the sudden picked a HORRIBLE name...no worries, I will let my opinion be heard, lol! But...I really think he will pick one from our list.
So....No later then August 18th or 19th.....we will find out what our little girl's name will be...it will be fun to see what my man decides! Pray for me these last few weeks. That God allows me to get the last few things done that I am hoping too and that our baby is SUPER healthy and that she is a wonderful nurser:) Love you all!

Reunions and Bachelorette Parties...Fun combination for a fun Weekend!

I would like to take a moment to BRAG about my husband! Jason had 5 days off last weekend during the 4th! He CHOSE to work on our NEW BEAUTIFUL FENCE 1 1/2 of those days....the other 1 1/2 days he helped my daddy tear down two of his decks, do to a remodel they are starting! Jason could have said, "babe...I need a break this weekend...lets just relax and enjoy ourselves and do our fence later." I would have said, "sounds awesome Jason, you need a break." BUT, my amazingly hard working man gave up 3 of his days of vacation and worked his BUTT OFF!!!! Our fence is nearly done, four more panels and a gate to go..he is hoping to finish it up in the next week or two, depending on help! Thanks Jason for being such a hard working man!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!(ps. a Special thanks to Bus Papa too because we couldn't have done it with out you....or Logan...who poured the water for the cement!. What awesome helpers)
