After being diagnosed with infertility and trying some treatments, I went through a pretty rough depression. There are months I can’t even recall because I just let the days wash over me and went through the motions of life. When we came to the decision to adopt I asked God to help me accept this […]
We are happy to announce that we have been chosen by a birth mother and our Little One is due at the beginning of December! Thank you for all of you who have been praying for us. Please continue to pray for our Little One and for the birth mother. Â We met with her […]
Everyday situations in our lives give us two choices : to hope or to worry. Hope : To expect with confidence. Worry : To cause to feel anxious, distressed, or troubled. Whether your problems are small or large, self-inflicted or caused by others, or it seems like outside forces are against you, your reaction to the […]
Today at Target I went to check and see if my store’s summer section was on clearance, and it was 50% off. This was great news because I really wanted to get a couple of prizes for my church’s VBS. Even better was there was an offer on the Target Cartwheel app for 20% off […]

Not far from my house is a goat farm. I drive by it at least a couple of times a week. The baby goats are so cute and I love to see them running around. The other day, as I drove by I saw an old goat ramming his head against the large phone pole […]

My brother, Kenny, and sister-in-law, Katelyn, got married back in March. Since I love to plan parties I told my mother I would take care of organizing the rehearsal dinner. I wanted to do a themed party that reflected the things that they both love, so I decided to do a Wedding Tailgate Party. They […]
