This year has been a roller coaster of emotions. As most of you already know and follow our story, our youngest son was diagnosed with Leukemia right after Christmas last year. He is in Remission and while we are so thankful for that, we still have a year and a half left of treatments. We […]
#GabeStrong Continuation Week 14
{106 weeks to go} We had a photo shoot at St. Jude this morning for them to possibly use for fundraising! Gabe was excited until he had to put on a hoodie that they wanted him to wear and then he refused to get his picture made by himself. 🙄 We ended up getting a […]
#GabeStrong – Continuation Week 11
{109 weeks to go} Another weekly visit to St. Jude has come and gone. I realized that I was writing “mini blogs” on my Facebook posts instead of posting here. I apologize! Gabe had his routine lab draw, nurse and doctor visit, followed up with chemo in the med room. His counts were a little […]
#GabeStrong (Consolidation) Day 6-27
Sometimes your greatest fear can become your biggest blessing.  Sounds crazy right? No one wants their greatest fear, the thing that they are afraid of the most, to come to pass. The idea of it sends your heart racing and makes you break out in a cold sweat. The very pit of your stomach turns into […]
#GabeStrong: Day 30-38
We are out of isolation! Yay!
#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 1-4
I’ve procrastinated with this blog post because I don’t know what to say, and I don’t know what to feel; and frankly, if I don’t type out the words, then it doesn’t feel real. At least, that’s what I’ve been telling myself since Thursday.
15 Things I Never Knew About Being a Mom
When Jacob and I first got married, ( I was 19) I wanted to have kids right away. He wanted to wait a couple of years, so we could be “just us” for awhile. At the time, I rolled my eyes, but looking back now, he was right. (don’t tell him I said that) We […]
Next! Psalm 58
One of the things that I love about the book of Psalms is the honest human emotion that comes from it. David did not hold back his thoughts or feelings. In fact, there are several times when I cringe when I read a few chapters; not because I’m ashamed of reading it, but that I’ve […]
