Back to School...

Classes start Monday for me and who doesn’t enjoy a fresh bouquet of back-to-school notebooks? I originally thought I’d get my feet wet by taking two classes but I came home from Indy feeling like my brain needed a challenge so I changed my mind and four it is. And now I have a shiny new notebook for each, which totally feeds my OCD.

The Birthday Boy...

20 years ago this amazing creature blew into my life and nothing has been the same since that rainy Thursday all those years ago. He was three weeks early and I always joke it was because he had an agenda. After all, this is the kiddo who looked at me when he was 18 months old, promptly pulled his pacifier from his mouth and said “Mommy, I have a situation I would like to discuss.” I kid you not. This kid makes the world a better place just by being in the room. He’s always known exactly what he wanted, and what he didn’t, and he’s working hard to get there. Watching him grow is the joy of my life. Happy birthday, babe!

Big Brother...

We are chin deep in grief and swimming as fast as our broken hearts will allow as we make plans to lay my first friend, my big brother, to rest. Losing Brett was unexpected and we are devasted. Please be patient with us as we process these next few days and please pray for us. I promise I will update when I’m able.
