A list.

No, not my Christmas list. That’s coming! Just a random list of things I need to tell y’all! 1. I have a new job! I’m still working at TAMU-Commerce, but I’m also now doing some social media work for a PR firm and I’m loving it. I’m busy, though! {so if there’s some lag in blog posts, you can assume …

Weekend Update

Last week FLEW by! Holy cow I cannot believe it is Thanksgiving week! YAY! All week I wanted to post last weekend’s update because it had some significant events. So, you’re getting two weekends in one. I know you are so happy. Last weekend I met up with my college girlfriends Mikalah, Emily, Amber, and Laura. It was such a great …

We still have way too much candy around here.

We had such a great Halloween! Our friends the Dempseys came over for what we decided will be our new annual tradition. Everyone arrived around 5 and we had homemade pizzas {with Pioneer Woman’s yummy homemade dough!} and salad= super easy! After dinner we headed out trick-or-treating. This was our first year to venture out in our new neighborhood, and we were excited …

You Grew in Our Hearts

Our great family friends Keith and Holly have started a new blog and I thought I’d share it with you today! They have two smart, beautiful girls and a handsome little man and are adding to their family by adopting from Ethiopia! We met the Greens when we moved to Forney and started going to church at Lakepointe in Rockwall. {Technically, Trey knew …

Weekend Update

Praise the Lord the cooler weather has arrived! We have {finally} had a break from the 100 degree temps and we are loving every minute of it! We’ve been enjoying our breakfast outside many mornings. Jack is obsessed with the bluebirds that come and say hi. He will say “bu” (for bird) and “tee tee” (tweet tweet) and clap. We’ve …

Meeting my newest “nephew”

I finally got to hold sweet Tripp tonight! He is home from the hospital and is doing so good. I waited long enough; he turned 3 weeks old last Wednesday! He is just about the cutest thing ever. Do you see that dark hair?! Oh he was so snuggly after his bedtime feeding… it almost makes me want another one. …

Praying for Baby Tripp

Many of you may already know, but I wanted to get this out there for those that don’t yet. Our best friends Jennifer and Richard delivered a 7lb 13 oz sweet baby boy on Wednesday evening. After delivery, he was admitted to the NICU for breathing problems. Since then, he has been put on a c-pap machine and is still in the NICU. He …

Baby Ella is Here!

My friend Krista had her baby last week. Isn’t she just beautiful??!! Ella Grace was born Saturday, April 2 at 9:18am. She weighed 7 lbs, 15 oz and was 21 1/4 inches long! Krista’s delivery went great and they are home and doing well! Because Ella’s brother Owen and my Jack have been sick, I have not held Miss Ella in a week. …

Wedding, 2 of 2

Whew. Sorry for the delay in blogging. We have had some major stuff going on…. My mom’s only brother, Skeeter, passed away unexpectedly a week ago and it has been {really} tough on all of us. I’ll share more about my wonderful uncle in another post, but for now please be praying for my grandparents Gwyn and Cecil, his wife, …

Baby Ella’s Brunch

My sweet friend Krista is due with Ella Grace in just a few weeks! I can’t wait to meet that baby girl. I am thankful that the Lord has given me a wonderful friendship with Krista! We met the day I started teaching in Forney, almost 7 years ago, at the new teacher training. We have pretty much talked {or texted} every single day since then. …

A wedding, a birthday party, and a new year

We had a great New Year’s weekend! Trey’s dad came in town so we could have our final Christmas celebration. Chloe asked Santa for one thing- a Barbie car she  could drive. Santa brought her a kitchen instead, but Pops and Bebe surprised her with a pink Jeep! Her reaction was priceless and we spent the better part of the …

best. birthday. ever.

I had the most amazing weekend celebrating my 30th birthday. My husband is most definitely to blame for all of the fun! The theme was “Sherry in the City”.  The invitations, cake, and weekend all revolved around a fun weekend in Dallas filled with all of my favorites! I was kept in the dark until each part unfolded, which made …

Thanks for your prayers & praise God for Hudson’s health. They said they would be posting pics on their blog soon. My good friend Jana had her …

Yay for this first!

> I didn’t know when I wrote this post what the future held for our friends the Thomas’. On that day, I thought that in just a few short months we would be going to dinner together with our girls. A year and a half later, and after much heartache and sorrow, we were able to have that dinner. Little …
