Marriage
Apologies
I was spending time with some friends today when suddenly the wife told her husband that she needed to apologize to him. I just grew silent and tried to fade into the background. She told him that she had said some things to the physical therapist who came over that may have made her husband […]
Working With Baby
My son’s company was very generous with the paternity leave that he was able to use. He took several weeks off and went back to work a couple weeks ago, continuing to work from home. He sent me a picture today of him working at his desk with the baby strapped on. She was sleeping […]
Sneak Peeks
Over the past couple of days, my son and his new wife have been sharing sneak peeks of their wedding photos and a super sweet video. I’m crying all over again, feeling so blessed and happy for them. I Found God today in the blessing of my son’s wedding.
Home From Honeymoon
This evening I made the drive to the airport and back to pick up my son and his new wife. They spent several days in Germany seeing the sights and attending Oktoberfest in Munich. They shared some photos in an online album during that time. They fit right in with their German attire and were […]

Learning to Dance
My son’s wedding is less than a week away and that is pretty much all I can think about. We had been talking about what song to have for our mother/son dance and finally decided on “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts. We both remembered that I used to sing it to my son in the […]
Wedding Outfits
I was happy that my sister was here for a couple days. I put on my outfits for the upcoming wedding and showed her. She helped me figure out what jewelry would look nice. She forgot to bring her dress with her, but had a photo. Today we went to the shoe store and she […]
Picking Out the Suit
Today I had the amazing privilege to go with my son to pick out a suit for his wedding day. He had tried a couple of stores, but struggled to find something that fit him properly. He picked me up and while we were on our way to the shop, he told me about the […]
