Just Peachy

February 29, 2012

 This week’s You Capture challenge is peach. And might I just say this week really was a challenge, mostly because there isn’t much peach in my house. I had a tough time finding some peach around here. First, a fancy wedding invitation.   And I realize this is stretching the whole peach thing, but just look at [...]

Twenty Years

February 29, 2012

In approximately five weeks, McDaddy and I are scheduled to attend our twentieth reunion. It doesn’t seem possible that we’ve been out of school for twenty L-O-N-G years. That means that this girl is almost forty. Not that there’s anything wrong with being forty, because age is just a number. Mostly. I can’t help but [...]

What I Learned This Week

February 27, 2012

This week I learned: 1. Super Glue will fix just about anything. 2. Super Glue is a big fat aggravation if it drips on things it shouldn’t. 3. I was not meant to drive long distances. 4. A fluctuating blood pressure can cause some serious nausea. 5. Eating a week of hospital cafeteria food is probably [...]

You Capture – Doors

February 23, 2012

It’s been a long day for me. A long three days, actually. It’s been an even longer day for Baby Colton and his parents. I’d appreciate it if you would continue to pray for them. I hadn’t planned on participating in You Capture this week, but I just got out of the shower with wet hair, and [...]

It’s been a long day. I appreciate all of you who have prayed for Baby Colton. He is resting comfortably and we have so much to be thankful for. His story is not mine to tell, but please know that I appreciate your prayers so very much and I know that his mommy and daddy [...]

For This Child I Prayed

February 19, 2012

I have spent many an hour praying for my boys. Even before I ever looked them in the eye, I prayed for their health, their spouses, and their salvation. I have called out to God in the middle of the night when the thermometer read 102. I’ve prayed silently while listening to the hum of [...]

Watch You Say?

February 16, 2012

The following is a true story. Yesterday, I went to the mall in search of a dress watch for McDaddy. I bought him one several years ago, but it decided to slow down a few months ago. And slowing down is a bad thing when you’re a watch. I had about two hours in between Valentine [...]

I Am A Lucky Gal

February 14, 2012

My day was filled with things that I absolutely love! For starters, I made a special Valentine’s lunch for my loves. Later in the day I attended not one, but two Valentine parties (complete with cookies and ice-cream and sprinkles and loud voices, and giggles, and smiles, and excitement) where my sweet boys gave out [...]

Yesterday, my sweet Alex shared his opinion on what it takes to make a marriage work. Today, I’m going to share mine. McDaddy and I in NO way have a perfect marriage. HOWEVER. We have a great one. And it’s a great one that I am so thankful for. I have a good husband. He [...]
