We’ve made some sweet friends since we moved here. Which is going to make leaving here way harder than it already is. Andy and Sheryl came over for dinner with their little one the other day. Lucy is just a month younger than Tallula, and she is as spunky as she is adorable. As soon as she spotted Poet out… Read More
friends
I have been blessed with many new friendships since God pricked our hearts and sent us on this journey of adoption. Some have been for a season. And some have been enduring. It’s amazing how God connects us, through our passion for adoption and our love for Him, and blesses us through it. So grateful for one very special friendship…. Read More

I’ve shared a few reasons why we love living here. One more reason? Our neighbors. They are a retired couple with huge hearts. Kathy, the wife, is a life-long horse lover.

best friends and barbeque

My best friend since childhood, Connie, has a cottage retreat and, amazingly, invited our entire clan to descend upon her little vacation abode. What was supposed to be a quick 5 hour trip turned out to be 7. But, we… Read More
a day in music city
We spent one full day in Nashville. One very full day. We met one of my best buddies, Amie, and her incredibly beautiful family for lunch. Table for 19? Anyone? Later, Amie and I met at the Oatsvall’s fundraising concert to help out before the doors opened. It was awesome to hang out with so many who are passionate about… Read More

I know, this is old news. In fact, I went on my ‘girlfriend’ weekend in the middle of April. But I am still trying to catch up…life is sooo crazy right now. This one will be short and sweet 🙂 We all met up in Ohio for a quick weekend retreat with… NO kids! It was so wonderful, so needed,… Read More
