About Me

My photo
The Lord never ceases to amaze and bless me (and my family). Though there have been many unexpected, seemingly overwhelming events in my life, God always provides a way, meeting and exceeding any need I may have. I long to know God more each day, to become the Godly woman, wife, and mother he so passionately desires me to be. This requires extensive training from God. For this reason, I am a perpetual student of the Lord. He is constantly molding and training me as His child; a wife, friend, coworker, daughter, sister, and mother; to be more like Him. In a similar way, along with my amazing husband, I hope to be a Godly example for our children and raise them in such a way that sparks an urgent desire for them to know and long for a personal relationship with the Lord our God.

I didn't forget... I just didn't have time!

Okay, so it's been A WHILE since my last post... and honestly, I haven't had a moment between then and now to post anything! (<~ it's hard when I don't have internet at my house)

Let's play catch-up...


  • Brayden has started talking up a storm! 
  • Both boys had a stomach bug.
  • Keith and Landen had a nasty summer cold.
  • My grandmother fell and broke both hips, had a heart attack, then had surgery.
  • Two of my family members (on my dad's side) passed away.
  • A friend of mine (and co-worker) had a baby.
  • I collapsed at work from intense uterine pain... we determined it was some scar tissue tearing (baby and I are fine)
  • Brayden is cutting 4 teeth at once... 3 of the 4 have FINALLY broken through the gums
  • We have had the mildest, wettest weather I can EVER remember having in Alabama during the month of August. EVER!
