Hello friends!! I'm a little late getting this post off. Unfortunately, we had a family health issue come up. My dad went in for a stress test on Monday and they immediately sent him to be prepped for a heart cath. He ended up needing to have 2 stints put in. It was a pretty quick and easy procedure with no complications. Thankfully, it was a situation that was caught early and therefore, no damage was done. We were praising God that my dad went in earlier than he was due, for this set of ... continue reading...
Carry me through-My Story
Often God speaks to us, if we're willing to take the time to really listen. After Corey's accident I had a lot of time to pray and listen to God speak to me.

To get my thoughts, feelings, questions, worries, fears and all those things bogging me down, out on paper, was such a blessing. I journaled religiously those first two years. Filling 12 journals with very raw emotions. I would like to ... continue reading...
Mom’s house-one last look
Hello All!!! Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween weekend. Ours was chocked full of fun and work. Our kiddos had the day off on Friday, so what a great opportunity to get our Fall yard work done!! Of course, they didn't quite share the same sentiment. But we got it done and it looks great. On Saturday Lauryn and I completed her Command Center board for her room... Next step hanging it up, which is always my stopper on projects like these. I do not like hanging things. Finding the ... continue reading...
