A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post entitled The Me That I Am.. this is sort of an extension of that article. One of the most difficult things I’ve done since becoming a parent is be forced to consider who I am and what I want out of life… to map out exactly what I expect from myself – what I will and …

I don’t have a whole lot to say right now because it’s late and I’m on my way to bed, but I just wanted to share how full my heart is at this moment. I honestly can’t imagine a life better than the one I’m living. Sure, we could have more “stuff” but there’s nothing that could be added which could increase the happiness in …

My husband’s mom just called to tell him that his Dad’s mom died. She’s been in the hospital for over a week now… they had already kind of “given up” and accepted that this was inevitable. It’s still rough. His grandmother was one of the few people in his family that always loved and accepted me… always treated me like family instead of some outsider. …

This morning, my husband got off work and came home and got the girls ready for church and sent them on the van. He came in our bedroom where I was sleeping and woke me up so we could watch church on television. Toward the end, I went in the kitchen to make some sweet rolls. I heard him calling me so I sent Tre …

Dear Barry:
I remember you as a skinny little barely 16-year old little boy… On the grind every day trying to make it. You thought you were so grown… there was no telling you that you weren’t a man. I remember when I first laid eyes on you in 1st period. English. You had on those hideous plaid shorts… You were so sure of yourself – …

I don’t have a whole lot to say. Besides me fixing our hot water heater with my own two FEMALE hands today despite the doubts of the Lowe’s lady and my husband, nothing really exciting has happened lately. BUT I have taken some super cute pictures that I wanted to share, which is the reason for this post… so ENJOY!

I found a box with a bunch of pics from WAYYYY back and I just had to share :) Over the next couple of weeks, I will be going back and adding captions and descriptions so that you know who/what/when, etc… for now, I just didn’t have the time to devote to it, but wanted to share the pics nonetheless. Click on the thumbnail to …

First of all, the question I find myself asking more and more frequently as the months WHIZ by me:
WHO IN THE HECK TOLD THESE KIDS
THEY ARE ALLOWED TO GROW UP!?
And, no – I don’t consider me whispering a silent, “Lord I can’t wait until they turn 18 so I can send them to COLLEGE!” to be expressed permission for them to grow up. I mean, …

We missed church today, so I put together a lesson about Love {Mark 12:31 … 1 John 4:8 … 1 John 4:1} that Barry and I went over with the kids and had a GREAT time :) Then we all prayed together, sang Jesus Loves Me, and had a nice, relaxing day not doing much of anything. We decided to do something fun once the …

I haven’t cried in a while… but this did it. I can’t really put it into words… you’ll just have to watch the video. This is amazing… And such a powerful symbolism for how God is with us – how He is able when we are unable… capable when life incapacitates us. Oh, thank You, JESUS!

Since my last family update which I posted around the middle of last month, things have slowed down for me, finally. I’ve had a couple of weeks of down time from projects and deadlines and that little break has allowed me to BREATHE! This won’t be a super long update. We’ve not been doing a whole lot – finishing out the summer, working, blogging… The …

It’s been about 4 months since I last did an update and I figured it’s about that time again!
Me: I am sooooooo beyond overloaded these days. Not overWHELMED {yet}… just completely overloaded. I’ve got more projects than I know what to do with, but I am prioritizing and knocking them out as best as I can. I’ve got web projects, home projects, kid projects, ministry …

In my house, the men (the short supply we have thereof) seem to be in a constant battle to see who can pee on the toilet seat the most. As such, the women have taken up the sport of seeing who can master the art of ensuring that someone ELSE gets stuck cleaning it up. *gross* I mean, seriously people… it can’t be that difficult …
