LIFE.

It really sucks sometimes.

Some of our dear friends (also my BEST friends sister and her husband) lost their little boy Monday. He was ONLY 20 months old. HOW is that possible? He was playing in the yard with his caretakers and was hit by a falling tree branch and was killed. He suffered brain damage, and after being on life support it was determined that there was zero brain activity. It's times like these that I KNOW I need to have FAITH in God's plan, but it is REALLY hard. I KNOW that God has a special reason for taking that precious boy from us SO SO young. But, WHY? I can't comprehend it right now. I will be attending a visitation tonight and funeral tomorrow for a baby. How do you do that? How do these parents go on? How do the caretakers go on? The only positive that I can come up with right now is the parents chose to do organ donation, so several other children will have longer, better lives because of Ashley's death. I know I just need to trust in God, it just hurts my heart so much to try and understand how this could happen. I guess that's the point, you can't understand everything.

I continue to pray that the families will feel the amazing amount of love and support that our community has shown throughout this, I pray that they feel God's love and can find peace one day in this tragic event.

This is going to be a tough few days...

    Virginia is a sorority sister of mine ... I can't even imagine what they are going through at this moment. My heart broke for them.

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
