Anxious Sleep

I can tell when I have anxious sleep.  I chew on the inside of my cheek.  I started chewing on this one spot a couple years ago and now I have this bump that won’t go away.
(I tried to take a picture, but after seeing them, realized that no body wants to see a picture of [...]

Do You Believe?

If you are a teacher, have ever been a teacher, have ever worked with kids, or have kids…. you need to watch this.
We watched this video yesterday (after I had already written my previous post) at a staff meeting.  As soon as the keynote speaker started with his first sentence, I [...]

They need me

Actually, they need to see Jesus in me.  They, meaning my students. 
I started school again this week.  I was a little depressed about it on Sunday night.  I told my dear friend Amanda Quillin that I needed a little pep talk to get me remotely excited about going back.  Her response was perfect.
She told me [...]

Marriage Retreat

This was our 5th Sandals Marriage Retreat.  We had an amazing time.  This pic was taken at the dance on Friday night.  I have others, but without the permission of those in them, I decided not to display any “less than flattering” photos of people dancing.
 
Except this one…..
 
Please don’t think less of our 2 pastors.  [...]

A New TV!!

The one we currently watch all our movies on we received from my grandmother.  Not as a [...]

Thank You

I just wanted to say thanks to my friends who left such amazing and encouraging comments on my “Peed on a Stick” post.  I love you guys and am so thankful to have a community and family who will pray when I ask and will let me be vulnerable.  You all spoke truth into my [...]

A tough one

This one is kinda hard but its been on my heart.  Andrew’s birthday is tomorrow and we threw a party for him last Friday night.  It was a lot of fun but there was one draw back…
We didn’t get to invite all our friends. 
We wanted to, but we only had money and space for so [...]

I peed on a stick

Several, actually.  In our journey of trying to start a family, I was given a fertility monitor from a friend.  She gave me this nifty device where I pee on a stick every morning and it reads my hormone levels.
She gave it to me probably about 4-5 months ago but never used it until this month [...]

What the….What?

Okay, time for truth.  I read my own blog more often than I read anyone else’s.  Not my posts, but I look to see what people have commented.  I love it when people comment.  It makes me feel special.  (So all those of you who I find out that read my blog and I never [...]
