Saying Goodbye

By on July 28, 2011

Last week, my husband’s great aunt passed away. She lived across the street while he was growing up and was like a grandmother to him. The funeral was beautiful. Josh was a pallbearer and he and his family took comfort in knowing that she was now in heaven with her husband and the three little babies she had lost.

This week, my husband’s grandmother on his father’s side passed away. She had suffered with ALS for a few years and was in failing health. She was a sweet little woman who was so happy when Josh and I got married. The funeral is Saturday. She’s also in heaven now with her husband.

Both women were incredibly kind, caring women. They both followed God and were so good to Josh and his family.

Aunt Gladys and Grandma D – we’ll miss you so much.

My iPhone is Old!

By on June 7, 2011

You know how you know you’ve had a phone for a LONG time?

The baby in this picture that I took with my phone…

Well…she came over to our house the other day. And she was up, walking around and talking. I can’t believe it – she’s a kid…not a baby anymore! 🙂

She was one of my husband’s parent’s foster children. I loved her so much – she was such a sweet baby! I honestly asked Josh if we could adopt her. But of course, we didn’t. But she got adopted by a great family who also adopted her older brother. (God is so great!)

And now she’s not a baby anymore – she’s a sweet little girl!

….
But I do need a new phone. 🙂

Summertime

By on

Someone asked me the other day how my summer was going. And instead of being a normal person and saying “Great! How’s your summer going?” I said, “Well, summer doesn’t mean much to me. It’s just hotter.”

Weird – O.

Really? I mean, who says that?

But I guess what I was trying to say is that there is a span in you life when summer really doesn’t mean much. You’re done with school (so no summer break…boo) and you don’t have children (who are home from summer break) so really, it’s not much different than any other time of year.

It’s just hotter.

I guess I’m in need of a vacation. I’m getting a little grouchy. 🙂
