Oh Hey-I’m still alive

Hey yall!! So sorry about how long it’s been since I have posted. We are still alive but life has been busy and I decided that because my heart has been rather heavy the last few months I would spare everyone the gory details. Soon I will return with pics and tons of thoughts that [...]

Just a little something…

Thanks for your patience. Not much has changed we are still waiting. I should say that the kids are LOVING school and both recently got awards for the spirit of cooperation and leadership in their classes. We were very proud!! Of course, I forgot my camera so you will just have to take my [...]

Yet another sad update

Well, I just need to say that I have the best friends in the world! So thanks for caring and loving and praying for us during this hard time.

Fun on the Farm (sort of)

When I married my husband I got a few extra blessings. Aside from gaining 2 brothers and 2 amazing sisters, I gained 2 wonderful parents. Don and Jan Smith are just about the best in laws a girl could have. Their home in Prineville, OR is one of my very favorite places on earth. It [...]
