Cory and Ashley have been great friends of ours for quite a while so it was so fun to take these pictures for them. We had so much fun and they were such great sports to get in the grass for me to get a great shot! They were both great to photograph and so photogenic, so I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites, but here they are…

Have any of you read the book “If…”? We have it sitting on our coffee table and Jason and I opened it up the other day for the first time in a long time and we started asking each other questions from it. It was quite interesting and fun to hear his answers!
So, I thought, I might post a couple questions and let anyone who wants to answer go for it! I’ll answer too, in the comments section. : )
1. IF you were to have your entire wardrobe designed for you by a clothing company for the rest of your life, who would you select?
2. IF you had to select any single, manmade object that best represents your personality, what would it be?

I can’t wait to hear some answers!

I’m going to stay here for now and try to work with this FREE blog to get it to look like what I want. So for now, I’m still going to be posting here.

Does anyone know of someone who does book-keeping? I’m looking to hire someone to come in once every other week and keep up my Quickbooks for me.
Let me know if you do!

Well, I have been trying to pretend like it didn’t happen for the last several weeks, but I have to say, I’ve come to the point where I have to accept the truth and be honest with myself that my sweet friend, Stephanie, and her precious family have started a new life 5 hours away from here. She no longer lives right around the corner, and I can no longer stop by “just because” and hang out. We can’t make it to “happy hour” at Sonic anymore…(not that I ever did that much–I always got there 5 min. after it was over!)…and we can no longer run errands together and go to Target, or the “Chicken Place” as Adeline would say! We can’t do dinner on the spur-of-the-moment, and I can’t depend on her to give a vaccination to another stray dog I bring home. And I sure won’t be able to drive to her house barefoot, crying, and hysterical next time I think I’m pregnant! Life is definitely different here in Providence Village, and I can’t say it’s for the better, but I can say that I am happy to know that they are where the Lord wants them and I am at peace with the fact that I will not be able to do all of those things with my friend anymore. I know that something much better is in store. Even though the little details and everyday events cannot be spent together, our friendship is still so special to me and I know that through this life change, it will only continue to grow. How special the times will be when we get to come and visit for the weekend or they come back to Providence to do the same! It will be so exciting to hear all the new adventures of Adeline and Adam and I can share mine of Malakai. Every now and then, it seems, you have those certain people come into your life who you know that no matter where life takes you, you will always stay close, never loose touch, and will continue to “do life” together even though there are hundreds of miles between you. The Smiths are those kind of friends. I’m so excited to see what the Lord does with their family as they start this new exciting journey.
Steph, I hope you know what a blessing your family has been to us. You are such an encouragement to me as a new mom and have been such a consistent strength to me during my whole pregnancy and new motherhood. I don’t know how I could have gone through that without you! The Lord was so good to put you in my life during that time…I mean, remember how freaked out I was about labor! : ) You really helped me stay grounded for sure.
We have just really enjoyed getting to know you guys….and I could go on and on, but I should probably not…because we’re not really saying good-bye…just hello to something different.
With that said, “I’ll see you in a week and a half!”
