Finally H*O*M*E~

We made it!! We're finally home! in our new home! We were packed in the car like sardines but we made it... it was a long trip but after many stops along the way we made it! It was so sad to leave our friends, my job, and the kids school but now we can finally be together! Now it's time to get unpacked, start painting, and start decorating!! We have so much to be thankful for. We are so blessed that God has given us the opportunity for a great job, a wonderful place to live and a fabulous house. We are looking forward to meeting our neighbors and making new friends. We are looking forward to going to church tomorrow and making friends there. We are also looking forward to our old friends coming to visit. I'm sure I will have many, many blogs to post... since there isn't much else for me to do... more to come! God bless our new home!

~and two shall become One

Yesterday was a beautiful day. One of the reasons it was so beautiful was the beautiful girl that was the beautiful bride. Brandi and Robert confirmed their love for each other in such a sweet way. I know they are truly meant for each other.
Blessings on your marriage you two!

Thank you for letting me be a part of this beautiful day!

Life is Good~


Things have been so busy lately that I almost forgot to post an update on Mother's G*R*E*A*T news!! We went to the Oncologist last week and things look great, blood work is great, and things are still shrinking!! We also went to the Radiologist and the tumors in her brain are Gone!! He doesn't even want to see her anymore!! She is graduating too!! We have so much to be thankful for!! God IS good ALL the time!!

Graduation Day!

I finally did it!! Accomplished something I have been working on for years... well 30 to be exact! I have finally received my Associate of Science Degree in Early Childhood Education! I have always wanted to finish my degree... and now I'm half way there! I thank God for this blessing of education and for my teachers who helped me achieve this goal.

I also have my Mother to thank for inspiring me to realize my dreams and live them. She is my hero!

I am also thankful to my husband and children for helping me along this journey. And to my friends who were there for me through the blood, sweat, and tears (algebra!) I say thank you as well! Now I'm on to the next step... hopefully it will be at Appalachian State University!
I hope somewhere along the way I will help open a child's mind and inspire him or her to reach their highest potential and live their dreams!
Never stop believing in yourself~
