Katie is 18 Today


This time 18 years ago today I was given a precious baby girl to take care of and love.  At the time I didn't know how our lives would end up or where we would be.  But so thankful God did!!!!  I met a wonderful Godly man and although the road has been rough at times the bumpiness has been worth it.  Katie has turned into a beautiful woman after God's own heart and I am so proud of her. 

I Love You Sweet Girl!!!!!

Happy 18th Birthday Katie, praying you have many more wonderful years as an ADULT!!!!!

My "Crazy" Family



It has been at least 17 years since my family has all been together at the same time.  So my sisters wedding was the perfect setting for some family photos. And of course some fun shots of us.  It was a blessing to be with my "CRAZY" family.  Fun weekend and lots of "memories".

These 5 really had a great time getting to know each other.

knew they were together.

Hopefully soon we can get them together again. :)
