football on the plains

WAR EAGLE!

Baby C.

 

My sweet friend J. doesn't even look like she has had a baby! 

This was taken a few hours after Baby C's arrival.

 Holding Baby C. for the first time....She is finally meeting the "loud lady" that has been talking to her Mama's belly this whole time....

Sweet Baby Charlie

"For you create my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." - Psalm 139: 13-14

My new job.

I am a busy girl. I wish I had time to fill you in on all of the details.

Baby C.

Baby C. arrived yesterday! She is beautiful and perfect in every way.
We love you J. & B.!

never let go

God is in the quiet moments, the loud laughter, the dinner with friends, the hugs of love ones, the tears of grief, the sunrises and the sunsets, the every day monotony, the frustrations of life, the ups, the downs, in the small gestures that seem to be forgotten....

He is in it all...

and today my heart is full of gratitude....

that He would think enough of me to remind me of His love and His promise that He is always with me...

 

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We'll live to know You here on the earth

 

Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
 

September again..

I cannot believe that it's September again...


September is a difficult month for me. I think this week always will be. It is extremely hard not to think about how differently things could be for us. Our Nate was supposed to arrive on September 3. If things had gone the way Bryant and I would have loved them to, we would be planning a huge birthday party this weekend. I know it's not healthy to think about what should have been or what could have been but I'm human. Grief is grief. You can't explain it or rationalize it. 
I cried all the way home today. I hate to cry....So that's that.


Grandma is doing as well as she can be. She got moved to a rehab/long term care facility today. She will be there for the next couple of weeks. I appreciate all of your prayers and sweet words. 


Life is busy. I'm working all of the time. Don't seem to spend more than an hour or two in my house (awake) every day. I'm not complaining because I feel extremely blessed to have the opportunities that I have. I'm having a hard time finding the right balance of where I need to be right now. It's hard for me not to give 110% of myself to anything I decide to do. I'm learning now that I don't always have 110% to give to everything. 


Looking forward to spending the weekend with all of our friends...football season is here.
