“ftf” = Favorite things Friday! (As I’ve said before – most of my “things” will be people! People are my favorite!) March 1st my dad turned eighty-…well, he had a birthday! 🙂 He’s kind of hard to shop for, especially since our family recently started a new focus on eating better (so the typical gift… Continue reading #ftfMyDad
It’s a “ftf” – FAVORITE THINGS FRIDAY!! One of my all-time favorite things is meeting up with women and talking (this will not be a surprise to anyone)! I’ve always loved being with women and I love hanging out with dear, old friends as well as meeting new people. While I once struggled with “dead… Continue reading #ftfCoffeeInTulsa – April 3, 2015
Three years ago I had lunch with a “new” friend. Meredith was someone I knew of, but didn’t “know”. I LOVE LUNCH DATES LIKE THAT! 🙂 I remember us sharing about our families, activities, work, etc. and then one of us asked the other about our “story” (honestly, it was probably Meredith that did the… Continue reading #thatsmystorywhatsyours #Easter2015
I’ve decided to officially make Fridays (on this little blog) – “Favorite Things Friday” (aka: #ftf). This is totally a selfish decision – one that forces me to take some time to think, process and write/post more regularly. I’m envisioning sharing some random “stuff” that I like – but, honestly, most will probably be about… Continue reading #ftfPHIL – Our awesome son-in-law!
Received a text this past weekend from “My Favorite” (aka: our youngest – the one that put her own info in my phone and labeled herself “My Favorite” and then added emojis of a pile of poop…and a Koala Bear?!?) So…yeah… The text read: “Happy 2 year anniversary of the day that I found out… Continue reading #2yearslater – God’s plan for “My Favorite”
Aren’t you just soooooo thankful for calendar reminders? I’m not talking about meeting reminders or “need to pay the water bill” kind of stuff (although, there are days that I definitely appreciate them). I’m talking about those reminders that point to important DATES that you think you will ALWAYS remember, but then the actual dates… Continue reading #proudmommoment – February 16, 1995
This morning I met with a group of “older” women (if we were checking our age on a form, most of us would be checking the “40-49” or “50-59” box). 🙂 This group is precious to me as we all serve as “Mentor Moms” in a group that I LOVE and am passionate about….”MOMS”. The “moms”… Continue reading #50shades
Update: (written on our 30th – 12/28/15) I wrote this blog a year ago…it holds true to how thankful I am tonight – for another year with a man that continues to put in the effort/work that a real, authentic and safe marriage takes. Tom- thanks for leading well and for continuing to have the hard… Continue reading #29years + 1!
God is ALWAYS good…but it’s been a LONG 10 months! A few hours ago I had an impromptu “YAHOO GOD” lunch with my man. At exactly 10:25am (while I was in a staff meeting), he sent me the following message: “Remember how I said I was going to tell you as soon as I heard from… Continue reading #itsbeenalongTENmonths
The house is awkwardly quiet as we earlier said “See you soon” (NEVER “goodbye”) to our three girls, two sons-in-law, and the world’s most fabulous grandson. We had a whirlwind of a weekend that included a whole lot of food, a One Year Old’s birthday party, a failed attempt at a Christmas card photo, a round… Continue reading #birthdayweekendwithlukethomas
This too shall pass...
