Valentine's Day Yesterday...

I meant to make a blog yesterday wishing my guys a Happy Valentine's Day. As usual though, our days are always busy ones. There's never enough time in a day to get done everything that we want or need to do.  
We did take our evening to enjoy some chill time together though. And I wanted to make sure to post here what I posted on my social media outlets for my guys. They are my world and I love them to the moon and beyond.  

Here is what I made and shared on my social media outlets:




Like I said, "they are my world". Apart from my relationship with God they are everything to me. God is first always and forever then them. But they are the closest of seconds to God😊.  

Scot is God's greatest gift to me. I had surrendered to being single for the rest of my life then God brought Scot into my life in my late 30's. So for all the singles that may read this don't ever think you won't marry because I had thought the same thing then God!

Tim joined us two years into our marriage. He would be the only child we would have. I've always chopped it up to that Tim was my last viable egg...LOL! Of course God knew what he was doing by giving us only one child because Tim had enough energy as a little one for a handful of kids. We put that energy into something positive, TaeKwondo. He did that from age 4 until 15. At age 8 he started doing the elite side of the sport, TaeKwondo fighting. At age 15 though he moved on from that to weightlifting. He just became too short for the sport anymore and he needed a change because the negative coach environment had gotten to be just too much for him and us. Weightlifting was the best change ever! He's soared at it. He now has 6 National Level medals,  will be turning 18 in May & graduating high school in May as well. To say Scot and I are proud parents is an understatement. This mommas heart is so full.

My life is so full and so blessed. Valentine's for us isn't celebrating a "love" holiday one day out of the year but reflecting on all the love that we share all year long. It's what I encourage for you all. Don't make Valentine's Day your one day to show love but show it every single day of the year. I know we do and I'm so glad that we do. We know how much we all mean to one another and even though there are some days we miss the mark and don't act as we should to one another we always come back to the love and remember how much we cherish our lives together. I pray you do the same. God Bless!

Martin Luther King, Jr Day!

Today marks Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Every year I listen to his "I Have a Dream" speech, delivered on Aug. 28, 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. I listen to it because I never want to forget the great Americans who made a difference. Although he made several notable speeches my favorite will always be "I Have A Dream".
Here is a link to watch the speech in its entirety: https://youtu.be/OTwVbUJbQxk?si=N0FGrFMaYbdaJ-MP.


(Just an FYI, MLK was just a man. He made mistakes like we all do. Remember that when remembering him. His accomplishments in the civil rights movement outweigh all the areas where he missed the mark.)

Tim's Christmas 2025...

This year was a smaller Christmas for Tim.  He received clothes (compression underwear, sweatpants & a couple of t-shirts).  He also received some knee sleeves and compression pants for training.  He got new earbuds from his family in Kentucky.  They all rallied together and got him the earbuds he's been needing for when he is working out.  He also got a trimmer that he ask for to be able to trim his thick eyebrows and to be able to clean up his unibrow.  His dad and I got him the Galaxy watch that he wanted as well.   All in all he got everything he needed and wanted this Christmas.  It's unfortunate but I didn't get a picture of all the clothes he received.  

Beats earbuds that will stay in when he's working out.

Karlos Nasar t-shirt.

Karlos Nasar knee sleeves.

Why Be Normal? Weightlifting t-shirt.

Galaxy Watch and bezel protection because hey, I know my son...LOL!

Merry Christmas🎄


We wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas🎄!

This season reminds us just how much we have to be thankful for. Life gets busy and chaotic, but this time of year calls us to slow down and appreciate the people who mean the most. We never want to take our loved ones for granted. God has been so good to us, and we’re grateful for His faithfulness every single day.

Family is everything. So hug your loved ones a little tighter this Christmas, and make sure they know just how much they mean to you. Tomorrow isn’t promised, but the memories we make today can last a lifetime.

God bless you all, and may your Christmas be filled with love, peace, and joy❤️.

Merry Christmas Eve....


It's Christmas Eve, y'all.  We are starting the day watching Tim open his Christmas gifts so we can enjoy that time as a family with just us.  Then later this afternoon we go to our churches candlelight service and we come home and have dinner.  And this year's dinner is thanks to our friends - The Allen's - because we are getting to have off the boat Italian Raviolis that I helped make at Donna's mom's house a few weeks ago.  It's something we started doing in more recent years because we want Christmas Day to be all about our Saviors birth and time with Family.  The greatest gift we will ever receive in this life is the gift of eternal life in heaven and we wouldn't have that if Jesus hadn't be born & then - many years later - died on a cross for our sins.  

He is the greatest gift of all!!!

Christmas Tree is Finally up...

This is the latest that we have ever put up our Christmas tree.  It's been so busy these past couple of months and I'm glad that we were able to finally get it up.  This year we put only shatterproof ornaments on the tree because we have a Stella and we just aren't sure how she's gonna be with the Christmas tree.  Last year she was a tiny timid kitten and this year she's a full grown active cat.  It will be interesting to see if she does anything more than paw at the low hanging ornaments.
