snow princess...



My daughter just celebrated her 7th birthday! I seems crazy to think that it has been 7 years already. Oh my what a lovely lady she is becoming too. She amazes me daily with her sweet heart. She makes me laugh EVERYDAY! She definitly has her daddy's humor and quick wit. She is always there when you need a hand with anything. When I'm feeling sick she's the first to make me rest and she'll run to get me whatever I need to make me feel better(which usually is one of her favorite stuffed animals so that I can snuggle it). I am so blessed to have such an amazing little girl in my life to take care of and love...

Thank you Jesus for such an amazing daughter. I pray that she grows to love you more and more and more each day. Amen.

Simple life


We've now lived here in our little "God Pod" as everyone calls it, for 7 months now. It has gone way better than we had ever imagined. I mean, I guess we should have imagined that it would being that we live with our 2 best friends. We've always joked about just getting one house together to save money-and then we wouldnt have to have late nights driving to and from each other's houses. But circumstances kind of lead us here anyway without really planning it. We check in on them often to make sure that it is still okay and that everyone is still comfortable with the situation. And so far so good. Our daughters love it here. They say it is so cute and cozy. We've all decided to give it another year and then we will re-access. See how things are...make changes if necessary. But for right now, we are happy and content in the small things. Actually, I hope we remain just that. Happy and content with little. Because that is what we've been learning these past 2 years. SIMPLIFY. I'm loving the simply life....
