I am officially 31 weeks pregnant with twins! That still seems unreal to me, but it feels very real to my body! I am really struggling with my comfort vs. the babies' health at this point. I am so much more uncomfortable than I imagined I would be and it is so hard for me to think about being this way (and bigger) for another 7 weeks. I don't want the boys to come early because I know it's better

So, I think I'm a little late on this post! Where to start....hmmm. Well, let me take you back a few months to our mission trip to New York City for City Uprising (which was an awesome experience by the way!). We had been "trying" to get pregnant for several months and were feeling pretty discouraged. I can so vividly remember going to our first worship gathering during City Uprising and

What a week this has been! Nothing huge, just the little things that can bog you down, but let me tell you how awesome our God truly is! I can't tell you how many times this week I have been at my breaking point, tears flowing, and just so uncertain about so many things. (No worries my friends, we're good!) Twice this week when I have been at the lowest of lows, I have had a friend rescue me with

Today we took Hannah to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital to have her eye checked....she's had a stye (it's not really a stye, but we'll call it that since it's easier to say and type!) since mid-January that just will not go away. She has been on six different antibiotics for this thing, we have done warm compresses, and anything else we've been told might help it go away. Her pediatrician referred

David and I just got back from a trip to Colorado Springs and, oh my word, that place is beautiful! We stayed in a hotel, compliments of David's company, that directly viewed Pikes Peak! You can't go anywhere in that town and not see the mountains! We can't wait to go back and take the girls! I just know that Hannah would be amazed at seeing a mountain that big! What a wonderful display of God's

I absolutely love this picture! What I love even more about it is the craziness that was going on when we took it! We asked my aunt Drenda to take a picture of us and neither of the girls would cooperate. Hannah wanted to walk in the grass barefoot while Sadie was hiding/pouting behind us. I just love how it all came together to capture such a great picture of our family! This is truly a

OK, so David is all about some Apple products...if you know us, you already knew that! Last Friday was the launch of the iPad 2 and, just like with the first iPad, David waited in line at the Apple store to be one of the first people to get one. That's his thing and I get it and I'm cool with it. He doesn't ask for much and doesn't really buy much of anything, so I am completely fine with his

So, I found out today that two of our friends are getting a divorce...and it's oh-so-painful for me to see. I think this is the first time any of our couple friends that we're close to have gone through this, so it's especially bothersome for me. (And by two of our friends, I mean two separate couples!) Let me share my past so you can maybe understand my point of view on this subject. I fully

     This year has really started off with a bang! We have been going nonstop as a family and it really gets overwhelming at times. Last year, I took on the challenge of reading 30 books during the year...this year, I think I took on a much bigger, yet so much more rewarding, challenge. A dear friend and sister in Christ asked me toward the end of 2010 if I would be up for doing a one-year Bible

Ha! You thought I actually updated my blog! No such luck, but I promise I will update soon! I have lots of topics I want to write about, but I just can't seem to find the time to do it. Hope you're all doing well! Be back soon!!

And the saga continues.... I went back to the hematologist this past week for a check-up on my platelet count. My platelet count has stayed about the same for the past three visits, so that's a good thing. It's still low, but at least it's not dropping! My doc says that, ultimately, the bone marrow biopsy is the only way to rule out any serious medical condition, but he doesn't think it's

As I've said before, I'm not the best blogger. I have to wait for something to hit me to write about and that doesn't happen everyday! Tonight, I am writing about something very near and dear to me...my Granny! My grandmother is an amazing woman! I would say she played a major role in raising me and each of my cousins. As a child, she could spoil the mess out of you and put the fear of God in you

OK, now get your head out of the gutter! I'm talking about painting!  Today, I took my second trip to a place called Sips-n-Strokes in Franklin...and, once again, I loved it! If you've never heard of the place, you've probably heard of the concept. You go to a studio and everyone paints the same picture...sounds kind of boring, huh? It's so not boring though...especially if you're not a painter

David and I will be celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary this coming Monday! Who would've guessed that almost 12 years ago when we met during our freshman year of college that we would end up together? Well, other than God! It's actually a funny story of how we met...you should ask David sometime...oh wait, that's right, he doesn't remember the first time we met! HA! We have varying stories...

Over the past year or so I have become a fairly avid reader. I think in 2008 I probably read three books...maybe. In 2009, I read about 20 books. So far, I have read 16 books...working on two more right now. My goal for the year is 30 books, so I'm pretty on track! Of course, I can't mention reading without giving some love to Amazon for the Kindle. A coworker at BACH had a Kindle last year and

We all know this day is coming, but are we ever really ready? I'm talking about Kindergarten! We have been mulling over the big kindergarten decision for months....where do we send Hannah for school next year? After much, much prayer and indecision I think we have finally made a call. Last week, David and I toured Clarksville Christian School as an option for Hannah...and ultimately Sadie! We

If you've been following me at all in the past month or so, you know what today was...the dreaded day. Well, it turned out to not be such a terrible day after all! Let me give you the facts first, then I will share my testimony for the day! Stay tuned for that part!  So, my appointment was at 12:45 this afternoon. I got off to a slow start this morning and opted to take the girls for donuts for

I have been so overwhelmed by all of the sweet words of encouragement I have received over the past week. Like the silly-head I truly am, I completely forgot that I linked my blog to publish to my Facebook profile. I posted my "Platelet update" last Thursday evening, but it didn't immediately post to Facebook. Imagine my shock on Sunday when I started receiving all of the sweet messages and

Yesterday, I went back to my hem/onc doctor for another check on my platelet count and to review all of the labs I had done at my last visit. I haven't really talked to many people about all of this, so I guess I'm using my blog as a sounding board. I don't think very many people read my blog so I guess I still feel like it is somewhat of a private matter...even though I've posted it online for

Lately, I have been struggling with staying motivated during my workouts. It is difficult to find music that will keep you "pumped up" consistently. I generally listen to praise and worship music when I workout, but a couple of friends at work had suggested some songs that keep them moving at a good pace. I thought there could be no harm in trying out different workout music...and it worked for a

OK, so it's been a while since I've updated anyone! Guess I'm not so great at this whole blogging thing after all. Let's see....since my last post, Sadie turned one, we had Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year, I turned 30 (yikes!), I've lost about 35 pounds (but, contrary to popular belief, I do still eat and am not in any way anorexic!), two of my dear friends are about to meet their newest

Hannah just turned four years old this week! How did this happen? It seems like yesterday we found out we were pregnant with her! She is such an amazing blessing to us. I don't think there's a day that goes by that we aren't amazed by something she does. There is nothing like a child to remind just how awesome of a God we are serving! For Hannah's birthday party, we decided to have it the gym

We haven't had a whole lot going on around here lately. Our biggest bit of excitement right now is Hannah starting Pre-K! She is going to the Pre-K program that is offered at her daycare. We think it's going to be a great program for her...it's amazing to think that her experience this year could shape her future so much. It's not a big change for us since we still take her to the same building

We decided to go to Lebanon, KY to spend the July 4th weekend with the Brockman family. We had a great time spending time with family. We played cornhole and watched fireworks on Friday evening. Apparently, cornhole was a bigger hit than we realized! We had a very rough night on Friday though. Sadie woke up at about 3:30 AM (Eastern time, so 2:30 our time) and was pretty inconsolable for the rest

Boy, have we been busy lately! David and I were both off last week to help with vacation bible school...maybe not the ideal way to spend your vacation, but we did have a great trip through the Australian outback spreading God's word and love! My classroom was "Missions Harbor" for kindergarten missions. The decorations turned out really cute! I'll post a picture for all to see! I owe a huge

This past week has been pretty fun! We had a cookout with our LIFE Group from church on Saturday...the rain actually stopped for the day! The family that hosted the cookout just so happened to have a pink Barbie Jeep that they no longer needed. It needed a new battery and some cleaning up, but Hannah didn't care. She litterally moved tables and chairs, by herself, to pull it out and pretend she

When Hannah was about Sadie's age, someone gave us a "Lambchop" puppet. Hannah loved that thing, so we decided to introduce Sadie to Lambchop. It's so funny how much babies love puppets!! Here are some pictures and, hopefully, a video of Sadie playing with Lambchop!!Sharing kisses with Lambchop!

It's seems like we are always talking about what we want out of life....our next vacation, our next house, our next car, everything. We are always waiting on the next big thing in our lives. Sometimes, we know what's coming, but we can't do anything but wait. We have friends that are going through the adoption process and I can't even imagine that wait. We have other friends who just completed

So, I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures on here! If you see any on here, then you'll know I was successful! The bottom two pictures are from Easter...we tried to do pictures of the girls in their matching Easter dresses. As you can see, it didn't go as well as planned. The second picture pretty much sums up the entire effort. The top picture is just a cute one of Sadie. She is usually a

So, I was reminded this weekend that I have a blog. I didn't think anyone had found it, so I wasn't really into updating it. Well, I found out that we had been discovered...I guess I better try at this thing! We don't have any major news, but here's a quick update of us.The girls are just growing.

I've decided that we're behind the times in this blogging business, so I am going to try my hand at it. I hope to keep our blog updated with the craziness that is our family's life!! We don't have any new or exciting news (right now, at least), but we hope that you will enjoy reading about our day-to-day happenings!
