It's a boy!!!

Hi there!! I have decided to start a blog!! Currently, I blog on my myspace account, but I think the blogs go into the myspace abyss after 10 or so. I've been blogging on there for years and how many of those are floating in the abyss??? So basically, I'll blog here and probably copy and paste for those loyal myspace blog subscribers too!!

Exciting news this week for the Nelson's! It's a boy! Yup, yup, yup. That's a total of FOUR boys now. I have to believe that God has a purpose for me to have FOUR boys. I mean, he didn't flippantly just think, "I'm not going to give Jennifer the desire of her heart, I'll just give her some boys..." He purposed to give me four beautiful, healthy boys. He may be so gracious as to share with my finite mind the reason for his purpose, but I may never know. Until then, I am learning to be content. I will never experience frilly dresses, pink bows, cheerleading practice, make-up, getting ready for the high school dance, getting ready for her wedding, and the birth of her children. You know what I will have??? Frogs in pockets, holes in jeans, grubby hands, warm smiles, adoring faces that bring me "flowers" (also known as weeds) from the yard, precious love notes tucked in my slippers (Caleb did this for my birthday), and many a "Bye Mom!" as they are older and head out the door. I'll never have someone to "be like me," but I am truly blessed with 4 amazing sons who cherish thier mother. God is God, and I am not, so what more can I say?
