10 years ago today Adam lost his very short and valiant battle with cancer. Together for almost 16 years. 4 dating, 1 engaged and almost 11 years married. I woke up this morning with him on my heart. I think of him daily and see reminders of him in our children, both in looks and… Continue reading Waves of Grief

Remember your honeymoon?
Oh how I wish we were back in Grand Cayman. In the middle of the coldest winter we have had in 7 years, it makes me severely long for a beach. Any beach! Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love the sun and sand. The waves lapping against the shore. The salty, refreshing… Continue reading Remember your honeymoon?
I need Jesus and a lot of grace!
I know one day I will miss it. But today I am totally exhaustified of driving my smaller humans all over creation. I am tired of coming in and out of the cold. Tired of getting interrupted every time I get into the groove of getting something accomplished. Yes, today I am grumpy. I am… Continue reading I need Jesus and a lot of grace!
The worst best Christmas ever!
Christmas 2010 went down in history as the worst best Christmas ever for me. Adam had finally finished chemotherapy and radiation 10 days before Christmas Eve. He was still feeling lousy and not eating, except through his PEG tube. I was looking forward to something normal for a change. I was looking forward to time… Continue reading The worst best Christmas ever!
What path are you on?
Blogging everyday for 30 days is tough. I always want my messages to have meaning and substance. Some days I feel like I am just throwing words down on the page and trying to get them to make sense. Today I did a little Christmas shopping by myself. Once upon a time, when I was… Continue reading What path are you on?
Forgiveness
Are you hurting today? Are you struggling with forgiveness? There is so much freedom in forgiveness. If you are struggling to forgive someone, you must do it. It will destroy you. It will eat you up from the inside out. It does not damage the other person. I am speaking from experience. I figured out… Continue reading Forgiveness

Monday’s have turned into an impromptu date night for Matt and I. It is fabulous! All but one of our kids have activities on Monday evening and the one that doesn’t, would rather have his eyeballs pecked out by chickens than leave the house. HAHA!! So I feed everyone before dropping them off at their… Continue reading Untitled
Nothing is better than a good book
I love nothing more than reading a good book. I am always reading something. Usually it is 2 or 3 books at a time. I read everything from crime, mysteries, sweet romance (not raunchy ones!!), drama, whatever! I love everything about a book. I love bookstores, and libraries. I read everyday. I cannot go to… Continue reading Nothing is better than a good book
Crazy Cousin Love
We did some serious eating yesterday. We were gone all day. I sadly, never sat down long enough, nor did I have anymore juice in my head to write yesterday! We spent the day with 2 of our families. We have done 3 thanksgivings now. (Matt has had 4 if you include his office one)… Continue reading Crazy Cousin Love
Twin life
I am struggling with the twins. They are sick to death of sharing everything. I know it must be hard. They tend to be our most laid back of the crew. I have bragged for years that they are the easiest, that I would have a dozen just like them. Today, I am taking it… Continue reading Twin life
