I apologize for the delay in posting a new blog post. I’m happy to say there hasn’t been a lot of excitement going on here! We have fallen into a routine of medicine, doctor appointments, labs, chemo, and resting at the hotel.
#GabeStrong: Day 11-15
Day 11: Jan 9th, 2017 On Monday’s we get to see Dr. Karol, who is Gabe’s main doctor. He has been so thorough and patient with us as we have lots of questions that we throw his way. I have never seen a doctor sit and talk with a patient and their families like he […]
#GabeStrong: Day 7-10
I know everyone is waiting for an update on Gabe, so I apologize for the delay. I could come up with lots of reasons why I haven’t updated, but the truth is:
#GabeStrong: Day 5 & 6

Characters of Bethesda
When I’m starting a new story, I have a general idea of what I envision for the character; but my favorite part is character sketching. This is where the author starts answering questions about the character- hair color, eye color, personality, their dislikes and likes. Then it evolves into deeper questions about their weaknesses, fears, […]
shaky, queasy, and slightly off balance
I’ve never been a fan of change. It has the power to turn your world upside down and dangle you from your feet, toss you around, and throw you back down. For the past three years I’ve experienced this to the point that at times I was left feeling shaky, queasy, and off balance. Did […]

Hi everyone, I can’t believe that is June already! We have had a big new change happen in the Howard household and we wanted to update everyone…. In case you have not heard, Jacob and I have bought a business! Raggle Taggle is a retail store located in Murray, Kentucky that features hand crafted items from local […]
