All the words I have to say seem inadequate.  Me, who is never at a loss for words, suddenly doesn't know what to say.  To say that grief has been a prominent part of my life this past year has been an understatement.  We've lost several family friends...you know those friends of your parents who've known you since you were in diapers...and knowing my father grieves is hard.  We've just recently had another miscarriage.  And last night I got an email that an old friend had committed suicide on Monday.  Suicide.  My heart lumps into a hard ball and  Read more >

After I had my first miscarriage it seemed like people came out of the woodwork to tell me they too had had a miscarriage.  I didn’t realize first pregnancy miscarriages were so common.  I remember someone even telling me about their 4 or 5 miscarriages and saying to Paul that I didn’t think I could go through that.  The loss of our first baby was so painful even though I was only 10 weeks along.  I felt like my heart was breaking.  And then we had our Emma.  She truly is the light of our lives and makes my heart feel overwhelmed with love for her and I  Read more >

Dear Tripp,I know we've never met.  I don't know your mom or your family nor can I imagine how emotional the last two and a half years have been for them.  I can't imagine what it has been like to be a mom of a sick child.  But I've followed your mom's blog for the last several months.  I've gone back and read some of what she wrote about you in your first year of life.  The love that your mom has for you has shown through her blog.  Every post she writes is a testament to her faith in God and her faith in you.  Even though I don't know you  Read more >

My husband's deployment (in his words)

I’m currently sitting in the Boston airport awaiting a flight to Baltimore. I get to stay there for about 24 hours and then take a flight to Kuwait and then to Afghanistan. Since this is my first post I figured I would take a moment to reflect on my thoughts in regards to my deployment.The idea of landing in a warzone and spending 6 months surrounded by “hundreds of thousands of people who want me dead” (as one of my predeployment training instructors said) has created next to zero concern for me so far.  Read more >

About Me Tags: 

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" Wife, mother, social worker, blogger. My family and friends are the most important to me and every day I know how much God has blessed me in my life. We are a military family and this has changed my life in ways I could not have imagined. I try to learn and grow as a person and in my relationship with God on a daily basis.
