While I'm jump-up-and-down-slap-me-silly happy about it, I am also in shock. Shock. I swear school just ended last week. Didn't we just start two-a-days two days ago? *and by we I mean the Wild Boy since he drives himself and all that now*Speaking of driving and the Wild Boy. Ever since he and His Father [...]

I've always been a big planner. I love making lists. I love paper and purple pens and using both to jot down thoughts, ideas, notes...plans.My journal is full of my plans.I always imagine I hear a whisper of a laugh when I write out all my lofty plans and ideas and lists.One of my Jesus [...]

September is just around the corner.September is my favorite time of the year. Especially since having children. Oh, I definitely cried the first day of kindergarten and the first day of first grade (Kindergarten is half days around here so it was like sending them off to preschool still.)

Y'all just don't know the randomness that rolls around in my head day and, unfortunately, night.Here are some snippets I reached in and yanked out to share:I love music, especially country music. Bff, Beth, would make the most wicked face whenever she would get in the car with me and I would crank some country. [...]

The annual Smith/Secrist Beach Week has come and gone. It started out so slowly, but by Wednesday, it had "gone to plaid" *name that movie*Some things I realized while there...There has to be beaches and oceans and sun and breezes-that-blow-off-the-water in Heaven. There just has to be. There are very few places in this world [...]

As I mentioned in my previous post, I have some writer's block going on. I have a ton of things to say, but I just don't like it after I write it out. I don't go back and do much editing, just a little clean-up, and that works for me. However, that is NOT how [...]
