Meet my sister-in-law Melanie. I have known her for 13 years and I can honestly say we are friends - good friends. She is a wonderful wife and mother to four great children. Three are boys that are all under the age of 8. I have blogged about her before when we first got "The News". You see this last November, Melanie had a seizure in her bed early one morning. As a result, she had an MRI that showed a tumor in her brain. The news rocked our family to the core. About Yahoo! Women Who … [Read more...]
Living Your Best Life
This has been a busy summer. Having a second child and keeping up with this blog has made life hectic. What is supposed to be a relaxing time off at home this summer has been anything but.

The Start of Our Family Day
You all know we travel for my husband's work 8 months out of the year. Some days that can be very hard, but one thing that I love about this calling is the family time we get together. We wake up, or sleep in together and eat breakfast together. The last three weeks we have woken up to fresh juice. My husband loves juicing - and we love drinking it. He juices fruits and vegetables for us, making a large batch, that we can drink throughout the day. It is the best start for our family … [Read more...]
Spokane Family Fun
It is so great when we get to have a seminar in the Pacific Northwest. This month we have been in Spokane, Washington and really have been enjoying ourselves. An added bonus is that my husband's brother is attending Gonzaga University so we get the chance to visit with him. (My Princess loves her uncle!) The church we are working with is wonderful! They really understand the meaning of friendship evangelism and connecting with people in their community. Over 20 people have asked to be … [Read more...]
