We keep it hot around here. Little texts throughout the day to let each other know, “I care. I miss you. Wish you were here.” 8 years and it’s still so easy to send a simple message of how much we still need each other. And? It shows. Oh – you’re welcome.

Peek in my purse.
ContinueI’ve always wanted to do a post like this, every time I see one I think, “I have to remember to do this sometime.” And today I emptied my purse to clean it, remembered, and grabbed a photo thanks to Instagram.

A month of mess
ContinueToday is Sam’s last day of work. In just a few hours he’ll be off and home. Home till he leaves for the Army. Home… for a MONTH. Now, this is going to sound awful. Because you’d think with him being gone for 4 months, I’d be jumping up and down at the thought of…
{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.
