I'm Still Here

I've been MIA for quite some time. 

I apologize. We have been so busy since school started back that I just haven't taken the time to sit down and work on my blog like I want. 

I have so much I want to share with you guys. 

We have decorated Emery's headstone with fall flowers. It looks beautiful out there for her. I love this time of year and couldn't wait to decorate her headstone in the most beautiful fall flowers. 


Makenzi had her school pictures. I went to Walmart the night before her pictures and picked her up a cute little dress so she would wear something new this year. When I got home with it, Addison asked me "what about me?" I had picked her up the same dress. MY girls LOVE to dress alike. I have some of the sweetest sisters ever. 


We spent some time at the Wilson County Fair. We love the fair. We look forward to it every single year... the food, the rides, the fun! 



We've had some busy times and some fun times. The girls have been gone or with grandparents the past two weekends, so I've spent time downtown with Jordan. We love our time together. He loves being able to have me downtown and I love being there with him. 

We have all enjoyed this fall like weather this week. Cool weather after the crazy, hot summer we have had is so nice! Fall is my favorite time of year anyway, so feeling the crispness in the air has just made my heart so happy. 

I want to share a little something with you guys - after the year I've had I have spent a lot of time contemplating, thinking, praying, and making notes and mental notes on writing a book. I want to share some things I feel might be helpful to others. I want to write a book on What You Do When God Doesn't.... like when He doesn't answer your prayers in the way you want. Where do you go? I want to just continue to use my faith, continue to use my Emery's story, and write from my heart. I want to show people I do still scream and do still have my moments of being MAD and I think others could benefit from a book like that. So, I am going to be making notes... I'm not saying it'll happen, and I'm not saying it'll happen soon. But I am thinking on it and I am making notes. I am going to attempt to put together some thoughts in a coherent way to try at writing a full book. *wide eyed emoji* Please pray with me that I may be able to do something like this to benefit others. I know reading certain blogs, books, and even articles have truly helped me. I want to continue to use my Emery's story to help others! 

Anyway - I just wanted to run all of that by you all. I wanted to share a little of our lives lately and I hope starting this week I can get inspired to make my daily posts again! :-) Much love to you all!
