Loved Through It

My friend’s text message read, “I’m glad you loved through it!” That’s exactly what happened. I loved through it. Even if I thought it was going to kill me, I loved through it.

The Sound of Her Voice

We’re leaving for Michigan from South Carolina in 90 minutes. I might still harm my mother-in-law because she WILL NOT SHUT UP! Also, we won’t let her drive anymore.

Failure

I got ticked off at work today, and I’m analyzing it to death. Right to death.

Knowledge

I had a crap-tacular day at work today, and then I had to go “fight fires” at work tonight after I’d been home for 2 hours. Plus! A super cute pic of my doggy and me!

Whispering Hope

The weather in my heart this afternoon was bleak, but a series of events not under my own control led to unbelievable sunshine.
1. My Aunt Laurel called and asked us to pick up a batch of cookies from her home before we went to my folks’ for Easter Dinner/ Rob’s birthday. We got there and [...]

In our Christmas Card from a dear friend, she wrote about a possible adoption and asked if Rob and I would be interested. We said YES. But the bio-mom was wanting to keep her baby. A few weeks ago, we found out that the bio-mom agreed to adopt out the baby. And last night we found out [...]

Livin’ on Love

Some time ago, I wrote about some friends, the Mag Family, whose 19-year old suffered a brain injury and is completely paralyzed and cannot even communicate… yet. Well, last night Rob and I packed up our old double bed and drove to their home and exchanged our bed for their red (!) bunk beds. Our [...]

Not Patient

I’m not typically known as patient. I know, you don’t believe me, do you? It’s true, though.
You are all such a blessing to me with your sweet and encouraging comments. It helps the wait be not so brutal.
Do I want to hear more news about my news? OF COURSE. And is the person who could [...]

On the Brink

Reading something 100 times does not change its meaning. Thank God.
What do you do when you have prayed at great length for something, only to find that your prayers are on the brink of being answered? Do you keep your “nose to the grindstone” and keep on going and working toward your goal? Do you [...]

Turning Point

Our favorite friends are by far The Brain Family: Trina and The Brain, Lexie and Lauren.
Tonight they took Rob and me out for my birthday (not until the 29th!) to Red Robin. We all stuffed our faces with great burgers and fries, and chatted and had a great time. Then we went to Borders and [...]
