- I hate arts and crafts, my house has a "lived in" look and I once threw away a perfectly good pair of pants because I couldn't sew on the button. I don't trust anyone that scrapbooks or doesn't like buttercream icing. I'm not a fan of the outdoors and once took a television on a camping trip so I could watch the Miss America pagent. My favorite thing in the world is public speaking and leading in praise and worship. I enjoy traveling to churches and women's groups all over the place who let me come in and do just that! I'm about to finish up a Master's Degree at Seminary; God asked me to do this and I wish I would have argued with Him a little bit longer. There is no greater love in my life than that of my husband, "the Attorney General", my daughter Remi and my brand new boy, Rocco. And we waited 9 long years for every fit and giggle.When I need a good laugh I call my mom. When I need a good "fix" I eat sushi. The hardest time of the year for me is when LOST is in reruns. And I believe TiVo saved my marriage. Well, as they say, "enough about me, let's talk about you... whaddayathink about me?"

If you were to Google "Stretch Marks" (and if you were, you're having a really slow day)
here are some things you will read:
"Stretch marks are sort of a badge of honor in being a woman...and a mother."
Really? Because I would much rather wear a literal badge on my Sunday clothes than to have these things.
"Everyone likes and wants a perfect body with no special marks..."
I would agree with this statement. I would also like to meet the woman who has none on her body. Then I would like for someone to hold her down for me.
"The exact cause for a stretch mark is due to the skin being pulled..."
And here we are folks. Here's the real reason for such a name. Being pulled.
I'm pulled to the left and I'm pulled to the right.
I need to do this. But I want to do this.
This is priority. This is not.
This is easy. This is hard.
And through all of it we are being pulled.
In my 30+ years of serving the Lord, if there's one thing I've been - it's pulled.
But with every tug, I've grown, and changed. Matured and learned. I've won. And lost.
I've laughed. And sobbed.
And I have every mark to prove it.
And I wear them all...with pride.

Okay, I may be crying harder now than I ever had at one of your posts. I guess it is because I know "your" story and all the trials that you and the AG have faced and the lengths that Satan has taken to tear you apart and to look at those pictures and know you like I do and to know the love story that is you and Dave; well, it just makes me so blessed to have actually witnessed it all. This warmed my heart Misha. Thanks for sharing it with us!! I love ya.
You guys are amazing.
Absolutely beautiful!
SOOOO sweet! You have such a gift of blogging!! I can't seem to write and convey the same emotions that you do! Thanks for sharing with us. I love that song by the way!
I do read your blog very often but I only started that about a month or so ago... so I'm not sure that I've read about Meredith! Does she have a blog? We should all three get together some time so that I can honestly say, "Yes, I know Meredith!" :) What type of position is she looking for? I know that my team is looking for an administrative assistant so if she is a detailed person who likes scheduling calls and dealing with checks she would probably be a fit! The position was just posted yesterday or today and is titled "real estate assistant". Like I said, I'd love to meet her (and you to of course!). We can do sushi... but look, I know this is going to sound crazy... but I must have hibachi.
You are on HAWT couple, baby. You need to show your face more often.
I love you and I love your story. It's a view into the very love of the Father who wrote it.
You're a special sister in Christ and one day we will meet. I hope it's in this life first.
The picture at the Mexican restaurant is my favorite because of what came to the table. My favorite food on the planet.
So awesome, and I love that song!
LOVE the song and the pics.Thanks for sharing it with us, even though the message was for the A.G.!
Thanks for sharing, Melissa! xoxo
Agh, I just love you guys together :)
I realized as I was watching this that I've been silently stalking you lately... no comments. It's like I had bloggers laryngitis or something, not cool!
Anyway, I'm here & reading still! I think it's time for an adorable babies update! Oh! & I finally got that stinkin' package in the mail, so keep a look out!
So sweet! I hope the AG takes the hint. :)
awwww...that was awesome! Plus it's nice you used a song by my boyfriend Jason. He loves me, I just know he does...he just hasn't met me yet. LOL Seriously, that was sweet, thanks for sharing it with bloggy land.
