True Confessions . . . A Little About Me


I saw this on another blog & realized that so many times we post the fun stuff & not always the "real" stuff.
So here are a few bits of reality . . .

I cannot get the pictures from my camera to the computer as fast as SuperHubby so I am waiting on him to download so I can do an Easter & Baptism post.

I had about 30  people over for brunch on Sunday & hid the mess in the Master bedroom AND it is STILL there (Thursday).

I do not love cooking or sewing.

I am jealous of people joining the new lifetime fitness, but cannot fathom spending $100+/month to torture myself with exercise - even though I desperately need more exercise & to lose about 20 pounds.

My car is constantly messy.

I can procrastinate better than anyone.

Laundry takes me days to put away.

I frequently go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink.

I am addicted to Coke & need it to survive, although my daughter tells me I do not.

I love living in AL - I know people love to make fun of us, but I cannot imagine living anywhere else.

I love watching AU football with my hubby or my boys.

My house is always open to visitors - I strive to be more hospitable, maybe more people would come if I cleaned the cobwebs by the front door. (But I would rather be snuggling with my babies.)

The 3rd & 4th babies were truly surprises, but I am glad God knows better & I might be able to be talked into a 5th, but I am thinkin' 4 is a good number for us & no one can guarantee it would be as easy of a baby as #4.

Maybe another day I can confess some more, but enough for 1 day.

Christmas Letter 2023

Merry Christmas! How are we here?       How has this year gone by so fast?            How is it almost 2024? I can tell you how . . . because there are 4 kids (in 2 cities), 1 dad (sometimes traveling for work), 1 mom & her minivan, multiple teams, multiple schools & 1 cute puppy. Whew!! Baylor is 20 & LOVING her apartment life in Auburn! She is studying hard & keeps a busy schedule with tailgating, church events & general TALKING with friends. She is doing some babysitting & pre-teaching over her Christmas break & some more TALKING with friends. William will be 18 any day now! He just made the Men's Soccer Varsity squad for his Senior year & so that makes the 3rd team of this year! He will be joining big sister in Auburn come August & I am sure his dorm room will be a little less complicated. He is half-way through his Senior year & doing well in school. He studies, works, plays soccer & then a little more soccer. He & Whitt are tryi

So Many Things . . .

 So many things have happened . . . So many things good things & so many hard things. So many things that we cannot explain & things we saw coming years ago. So many people & so many places. This momma's heart has had to learn to watch them fly & soar. I keep thinking back to what my Daddy said at our wedding " . . . you give your children roots & wings." It is hard to give them roots that run deep & how you instill true values in them. It is also hard to watch them open their wings ready to soar. They are soaring! They are learning SOOO much & watching these adventures is a true gift. I know one day I will look back as this being a great joy of my life. I am experiencing hurt but it is amidst such beauty & growth. My baby girl has started to fly & she is flying strong. As soon as she started off on her journey she hit a few unexpected bumps & she took a minute, re-grouped & then just kept on going. She was strong & brave. S
