November 11, 2021 Turn Negatives Into Positives I make that a command for myself. When we first ran our information into a loan company portal, I felt it wouldn’t happen. I kept asking for everything I could check myself. We check credit reports constantly, we knew our shortcomings and explained [...]
September 9, 2021 House Hunting 102 – Searching Searching… They say the hardest part of doing something you really want is waiting and planning. They might be right. We keep getting to the search part. We are looking for land or a house on land within 10 minutes of I95 [...]
May 16, 2020 Shattered Again. Shattered Again. This is what strikes my heart again. Of course, in the big scheme of things I realize, this is tiny. This isn’t losing a family member or going bankrupt. Logically, my brain tells me that this isn’t really a bad thing and there [...]
Stepping Back February 23, 2020 My little love is one! I’m 37. We both had birthdays this week. This is the first birthday for one of my children that I missed. I was on my way to a meeting at work when I got two adorable videos from Louis – [...]
January 7, 2020 Two Cadet Homecoming!

I almost cried two years [...]

She thought one was excellent [...]
September 8, 2019 Leaving My Little Love I’m looking at the man cross the coffee table as I talk. I knew even though he said it was okay to bring my baby (at this point, I’m 8 months pregnant) to work with me, there would come a time when my [...]
August 20, 2019 Christina’s New Semester This one, like most of my posts lately, is a little bit delayed. I’m so excited for my eldest though! She participates actively in Civil Air Patrol – what does that mean? Well, let’s just say my GPS thinks that’s “Work” because other than [...]
July 12, 2019 Fighting Failure It’s when your mind tells you stuff that isn’t what God wants you to hear, but the logical part of you says, “yes, that’s right,” so you agree and allow the spirit of failure to permeate your day. I know in my heart that anything [...]
June 15, 2019 Me Without You Yesterday I entered a bit of nostalgia. My facebook timeline mentioned a memory of Father’s Day a few years ago. Father’s Day. This is the first Father’s Day when my Daddy is in heaven. The first thoughts were sad. Theadora, who was laying on [...]
