Picking It Back Up

It's been a minute. Actually it's been five years.  I'll just say life got crazy busy adding our girl.  So let's start with today. Today I am sitting and thinking about everything. Life. We are currently living in an apartment in Macon. A loft apartment, meaning it's real expensive. Not much more about it is fancy. We do have an elevator but that's about it. We are in the meh, middle stages of building our house. June 2018, we bought 21.55 acres in a spot in the road called Forsyth. It's just outside of McDonough (where we grew up) and Macon. We looked in lots of places, tired to decide where we wanted to raise our kids. We wanted excellent schools and wanted to in a good church. June 2019, we sold our house on April Drive in Conyers and moved to The Lofts at Bass while we built our home. We wanted to go ahead and get the big kids in school where they would be once the house was complete. They are there!  We are hoping to be in it by Halloween. Our bu

One Step Closer

2013 I don't even remember where I left off.  August I started back to work.  I am working at the school where the kids go.  I feel like I blinked and three months went by.  Adding another one to our everyday - makes us feel so much busier.  So with that being said that is why, again, I am behind on our updates! 10/26 I met with our caseworker this week, finally. Saturday she came to our house to do our final step of our Home Study.  She just had to legally say our home was safe for us to adopt.   This week our attorney should be getting the parental surrender of rights from her mom.  That will give us the go ahead on getting everything legal so we can be her legal parents.  Halloween and Caden's birthday are both coming up so we are gearing up for both of those.  I made the kids costumes this year.  They are going to be Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.  They are going to be so adorable!  Caden wants so bad to have a 'camo' birthday party, so we are just goin

It's a Real Job

Written 2013. I found this in my 'drafts'.  This might be a long one.  Try to follow me. I have a lot to say and a lot on my mind and I hope to communicate it so it makes sense. I was a stay-at-home Mom from the time my son was born. I begged and pleated with my husband. It was very important to me. I wanted to raise our son. I didn't want someone else to, I didn't want to pay someone else to. God entrusted him to me and I am going to do everything in my power to raise him the best way I know how. This may sound crazy to some but that's my honest thought. I know it's not for everyone to stay home. Whether it be finances or desire.  I know this is not a one size fits all.  I have thought about this a lot through the years. I remember washing and folding my son's boxers for the first time. I thought to myself, I am raising a man. I am raising a Dad. I am raising a husband. I pray daily that he will be the best of all of these. I do not take raising him
