Life Goals
December 28, 2022 Life Goals I continually reevaluate my “life goals,” if you want to call them that. Core has always been to love Jesus, pass that on to everyone I can touch, and show love when I can. The additions have changed a little: Pre-twenties, I wanted to be [...]

“I Broke My Leg” – and other shenanigains
“I Broke My Leg” – and other shenanigains September 30, 2022 (timewarp from August 30, 2022) To say that our home is never dull is a severe understatement; something funny, outrageous, interesting, or unbelievable is happening all day every day and if it appears to be calm, someone will make [...]
Keep Flying High!

Stages to Come

Two Cadet Homecoming
January 7, 2020 Two Cadet Homecoming! On January 4th, a beautiful day with misty rainshowers threatening the gorgeous parade ground at Camp Blanding, I watched both of my cadets march in their pass and review (ceremony parade at the end of the 2019-2020 winter encampment). I almost cried two years [...]
Study & Playtime
August 8, 2019 Study and Playtime Your bed. A place of rest. Calm. Peace. Unless you are a mom! I got the baby all ready, got myself all ready, even get Lucas ready for his bed! Lay down and *boom* here come the troops! Lucas does an aerial front flip [...]
