5 things I’m thinking about that I want to share with you… 1. I did my first triathlon this weekend. And it was awesome! I’m really surprised how much FUN I had. I don’t really walk away from a half marathon or marathon saying “that was fun!” Something different keeps me coming back to those. […]
Seven years ago today I was a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend. But not a mommy. I remember going to the doctor AGAIN, then being sent to the hospital for an ultrasound to see how big this little guy was. They predicted he was going to a 10 pounder. Praise the Lord that […]

Over the course of the next 2 weeks several things will happen in […]
