Inspiration

I am not the most religious person ever. I am not the best Mommy, daughter, sister, friend ever. Heck, I know I am not the best wife ever. I do, however, know that there are things in life that take my breath, they take my tears and they inspire me. I won't go into the stories behind these clips. For one, I will cry my eyes out. Secondly, I hope they touch you guys enough that it at least stirs some emotion. Third...I want to teach my daughter that this world CAN be good and that she can make it that way. The world we live in can be so, so cruel. But seeing things like these is a forever reminder, that no matter what, God is here too. Thank You, God!!

Again, I am not overly religious. I can't remember the last time I went to church. Yes...I am ashamed to say that. I want to change it and feel like my heart yearns for it. All I know is that I am inspired so often and long to change part of who I am to make a difference like things like these clips do.

I really hope you enjoy them. I know I do...and watch them over and over again. I need things like this in my life.

All I can say is what a tragedy. Riley and I had a "Come to Jesus" talk about this video just last night. After many tears, from her and from me. I feel like God was speaking through me. Again, Thank You, God!!




My cousin Holly was kind enough to hit my e-mail with this one day. I watched it at my desk at work and cried. I went to private catholic school 13 years of it. This clip made me literally cry my eyes out. I was so touched and realized just how true it is. We get distracted by so many things in life. Why can't we realize that God is ALWAYS!! there with us. Everything we do...(yeah I said I won't be talking about the clips...felt compelled...sorry)



For those who tried this one, I just realized it was not working. I have fixed the problem. Enjoy!!

Too cute and WOW! 2 and can sing the Our Father and knows the tune?....amazing!!


I hope these inspired you as much as they continue to inspire me!!

It's all for this little girl!!!



Please leave a comment with your thoughts.

Much love & Thanks!!

Riley as the beautiful Flower Girl....

This is my fave!!
She sure knows how to work the camera!! My little Ham!!~~!!
Isn't she lovely?
Isn't she beautiful?


Thank God for Kari and Shelby!! OMG!!~~!! Their wedding and all the festivities surrounding it were amazing!!! Seeing Kari in her wedding gown literally made me cry!! I know, I know, Yes. I am a totally emotional person, but come on people, this is my "baby cousin, Kari". She is not supposed to be old enough to be married. Really though. It was amazing and we had been planning our trip home for months. It was awesome!! Here are a few pics of our girl looking beautiful She was so all about it. I mean buddy. They lined up and she had her game face on....i even tried to snap some pics of her standing during the ceremony and she gave me a look that would kill and shook her head at me. I felt like a scolded child. Too funny!!

The pics are from here at our house. No hair do...nothing...just so I could show Kari the dress. It is kind of hard to plan when you are 700 miles apart.


Kari & Shelby,

Thanks for making us such a big part of your special day!! So beautiful and so perfect!! We love you guys!!!

A year already!! Happy Anniversary Brad!!

In my Mom & Dad's back yard. I used to drive that mustang!
Most of you know the story of Brad and I. It is like a fairy tale. We firmly believe we are soul mates. Our love goes so deep and we never seem to run out of conversation or smiles...we have a great time...NO MATTER WHAT WE ARE DOING!!
At Brian & Holly's wedding.

I can't believe he has been my husband for a year already. I also thank the Lord daily for bring him back to me. I know that everything in life happens for a reason and only in God's time. Thank God it was God's time. So perfect!!
Yes~~We go back this far!!


For those of you who don't know, we were high school sweethearts. We dated for 8 years back in the day. Then, sadly, we were apart for 9 years. I got married and had a baby in that time and he dated the same girl. No marriage, no children. When we found each other again, we realized that we had something so special...and we were not willing to EVER let it go again.
Can you say, Old School?


This is for my wonderful husband...my soul mate, my best friend. I don't know what I would do without you, baby!! I love you so much and fall for you over and over again daily!!
Yep~~Prom!! I graduated in 94 People!!
