I just realized the last time I wrote in this little neglected space of mine was May. :/ Sad. We’ve had a lot going on, and when that happens and I get caught up in not writing it, it builds up and builds up until I think, “Well now there’s just so much to say…”…

Being Charlotte’s Mama
ContinueYou guys – Charlotte will be 6 months old in 9 days. How is that even possible?! It has gone by so fast – and I know everyone always says that but it’s true. I’ve tried so hard these past 6 months to really soak it all in. Every stage, every moment. I have times…

Three and a Half Months
ContinueI’m 3 1/2 months postpartum. My hair is falling out. Any day now I expect to be bald. I’ve lost my brain. I can’t remember anything at all anymore. I have lists all over. Evernote has become my best friend, and since it syncs from my phone to my computer I depend on it for…
{About Me}
Sam and I have been married since I was 19. He was 20. He's an OIF, medically retired veteran of the Army and Marines. We have 5 children - Bella was born in 2009 after a rather bumpy pregnancy and her first year was mostly crazy reflux. Preston and Julian, my identical twins, were born at 20 weeks in 2012 and lived only a few hours. Kaden was born full term in 2013 seemingly perfect, and at 4 days old he was found to have cardiomyopathy due to ciHHV-6. He passed away at 3 weeks old. Charlotte was born in 2015, and was a complete surprise to us. Each of them have changed our lives completely.
Currently I'm in school to become a counselor who focuses on trauma and grief.
I love Jesus - even though sometimes I get really angry and upset at the way our life has gone. I hope through my faults, insecurities, snarkiness, selfish nature, and general mess - my love for Christ and His work in my life shines through in my story.
