We Know Who You Are
Originally posted on This House Is Our Home: The horrors you have seen, I can never take away. They are seared forever onto the heart so many people think you don’t have.

A Time to Remember
I went out for my first 30 min run today, and I made it! It was so awesome. It is Steve’s and my 14th wedding anniversary today and he is home from work. Since he was home, he stayed here with Emma and I got to go running alone. My excitement in this may sound…

Thankful

Easy Like a Sunday Morning
OK, we are flakes. We totally missed church this morning. As hard as I tried I couldn’t wake up, even after Steve came in and tried to wake me up! As soon as he crawled back into bed I knew that was the end of me trying to get up to go to church. Sometimes…
