Friendly Reminder – Holiday Planning
Hey everybody!
I know it has been very busy around here and it seems that we truly have been jumping from one challenge to another here lately but we are surviving! We pray that you are doing well too and that everyone is starting to feel like they can breathe a little easier with all the events that have unfolded around us recently.
I really don’t want to think about the holidays yet but they are fast approaching. I know that they will be a little different this year but that’s ok. We are so blessed and thankful for all that we already have. I just wanted to throw out a couple little reminders of things that you can do now if you are planning any special dinners or events. We know that getting family and friends together can help lift everyone’s spirits and we like to try to have a few special events a year… this year has been a little extra but that’s ok.

I trust that God had a reason for letting me ‘LOSE’ track of this and I PRAY that this helps someone.
Many of you have probably heard the term ‘Rainbow Baby’ and you probably already know that these are babies born after a miscarriage. Well, I consider both of my youngest to be Rainbow Babies as I had four very difficult pregnancies that ended in miscarriages before they were born. Not only that I had already been told that, because of some other female issues, my chances of carrying another baby to term were very slim… and I had completely given up on the idea of any additions to our family.

Life update: October 2024
Hey y’all,
I’ve been trying to write this post for a couple of weeks now but it seems that we’ve been getting hit with one thing after another around here lately.
My heart has been breaking over the pictures and stories from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene… I know that Mother Nature throws us curve balls and we can’t possibly prepare for everything that could happen but we really need to try to have the basic supplies on hand for whatever emergency might come our way.
