In a few weeks, Bella will go to school, real school, for the first time ever. I have prayed, in earnest, the past year for God to show me clearly where she should be. Because it was beginning to feel like 100% homeschool wasn’t the most ideal choice for her anymore. I know many of…

Skipped for Sleep
ContinueI skipped two days of writing so far this month – and last night part of me thought, “Diana! Write something! Before bed! Use the app!” But I just was so tired I couldn’t. So I let myself off the guilt hook (as much as possible for me). We had a day full of stuff.…

As homeschoolers, we don’t necessarily need to classify a grade, however with sports and different things we do, it’s beneficial for us to have a guideline. Bella will be 7 in November.

It Still Hurts

{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.
