So Much going on.  We have been SO BUSY.  Since Frankie’s Birthday the TRAIN has been moving.  Started out with Dave in Charleston with the first ever Quad Community for 3DM.  It was a HUGE success.  I was able to escape for a day and join in.  It’s been an amazing thing to be part of…

I have been recently blown away by life experiences.  That sometimes our most broken moments can journey into one of our most amazing joys.  It’s odd how that can happen.  And sometimes you are aware of this happening in months following and other times in years.  But WHEN it happens, when you walk through the redemption of…

Time is flying! What a great week.  Dave is currently still in England.  I’ve heard from him a few times via email.  Silly guy, technology is not his friend.   I really can’t wait to hear all about his trip.  I’m such an introvert but am finding the need for a bit more conversation.  Today I found myself…

I love to blog.  I’ve been busy and so I don’t get time to blog as much as I like.  But I feel so much better since catching up with Jaimie Ivey on her blog and she feels the same way.  At least I’m not the only one. Where to start?  It’s early on a…

Dave has the kids out on a date night while I am behind getting the house in a peaceful state for a restful evening tonight before the madness hits.  As the washer and dryer are humming, and I’m listening to “beautiful things” by Gungor, I can’t help reflect on all that is going on in Japan…

I think it’s important in life to celebrate wins.  And if you can’t really stop to celebrate at least reflect on them.  I love to celebrate wins.  Team wins are the best because you get to gather around a group of people and celebrate together.  I’m glad I have the chance to do that a lot.  But…

Isn’t he just growing?  I am so in love with this little man.  And he is in love with a tie.  He even wears them on t-shirts because he tells me they make him look “handsome”.  And don’t you love his Dave Rhodes smile.  Like father, like son. I think back to this time last…

A few thoughts as today winds down. It’s been a great day.  A great few days.  Oh man, It’s been a great month, a great few months.  While I’m at it, it’s just been a great season.  Don’t you love great seasons?   It’s like the camellia bush outside our front door.  It just won’t stop blooming. …

First, thank you all of you who took time to encourage me and challenge me to continue to do what all of us do… tell our story.  Needed a little air and lift under the kite as it was getting really close to touchdown.  I think Corey said it best when she commented to me..”blogging…

For all of you who thought something happened to me, I’m still here, I promise!  I’ve had people contacting me this past week checking in making sure all was ok since I’ve not been posting much.  It’s been a crazy month here of schedules and sickness.  Oh my word… we have never had sickness pass…
