No Coincidence
Thursday, January 31st, 2008

The older I get (rather than the wiser) I believe less in coincidence and more in a divine plan.
I met an old friend for lunch yesterday. He actually hired me for my first job at Accenture. Not COINCIDENTALLY, he also hired Tim. We both graduated from the same Masters Program [...]

“Roll Call”…THANK YOU!
Sunday, January 27th, 2008

This post is dedicated to all of the people, families, churches, and organizations who made our combat holiday season - a great one!
Thank you all for your continued prayers, letters, postcards, care packages and tireless support of our soldiers!
Every package sent, was either; wrapped and put under our Christmas tree for soldiers to choose from, [...]

Drama
Sunday, January 27th, 2008

There is no gray for most people when they see me with twins. They either say in an exasperated tone , “Oh my gosh, I would not want twins.” People actually do say this. Or in a longing tone, “I always wanted twins!” None ever say, “It might be nice.”
So…I loaded [...]

Follow that duck
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

I suppose I should add to my list of talents for Emerson…her ability to use a duck call and to get her eldest brother to follow her lead. Hey Tim…thanks for sending these all the way from Iraq! When there isn’t enough noise with four kids why not throw a couple of duck [...]

My Daddy’s Notebook
Thursday, January 17th, 2008

As I was purging closets today (my favorite past time lately), I found this. Actually, let me continue with the purging closets thought for a minute…it is completely liberating. I think I feel several pounds lighter from the experience, and I knew it would all go to people that really needed it. [...]

From the Bottoms of Our Feet
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

After hearing that Tim will be home around February 12th…we all got excited! We will have a whole lot of fun doing nothing but hanging out. I figured I hadn’t posted any feet messages in awhile. I had fun looking back on some of the others>>> Stinky Message and Father’s Day.

Please [...]

Someday
Friday, January 11th, 2008

Today…I needed to be reminded that this period in life may seem long and tedious but will quickly pass. I have been carrying Emerson around for days with little break…she is killing me with neediness. It seems as if someone is always crying. But as Tim reminded me…he would give anything to [...]

Some funny conversations
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

Briggs:
Did Daddy ever have any other girlfriends?
Me:
Yeah. In fact, one of them didn’t like me too much.
Briggs:
He did? Did he kiss them?
Me:
Yeah. I guess. (Me thinking…oh my…where is he going with this?)
Briggs:
But I thought you had to marry the first person that you kissed? (Side note: He just kissed Sara…his [...]

Stalker
Saturday, January 5th, 2008

I was driving around today and felt compelled to call Tim’s voice mail. I called twice. I even left a message. I just missed being able to randomly pick up the phone to call my husband. I actually had to think about what his number was though.
It reminded me of a different time in my [...]
