Our Life (over the last few months)

hi everyone, i am back and have news of the last few months...

april 7 my baby boy turned seven years old! how precious he is - i can hardly believe how the time has flown by. had an "incredibles" birthday cake

april 26 sunday morning, the phone rings about 7:45am, mom says travis is dead. my other big brother- who i have not seen in nearly six years, though, thank God, i did speak to him on the phone a couple of times last year - he's gone? it was hard to take, it is still hard to believe that this has happened. wish i could take the pain away from my parents who have to visit their sons' graves...

may 1 we say a final good bye to travis, i know he is in peace now w/ the Lord, for so long he lived in misery. one of the hardest days of my life

may 10 mother's day, my kids are so precious and i love them so much - they make me feel so special. jacob drew me pictures of super mario! mom had a hard day.

may 18 14 years since jason, my oldest brother went to be w/ the Lord oh God how hard this is to feel this strong grief all over again I pray a lot for the Lord's peace and comfort, feeling a little numb and confused...

may 14 left for a fun fam reunion in louisiana - saw family and met cousins and cousins' kids. it was so much fun and good to laugh, but there were still tears. life is hard. but yea - cousin maggie graduated from college! stopped off at the zoo in memphis on our way home, got a little lost in memphis...

May 26 began swim lessons - lasted for 2 weeks and wow - i have 2 great swimmers!

June 7 beautiful sunday worship, cried a lot in service today, prayed hard for mom and aprille

June 10 knew it was coming... had a semi-breakdown today..could not quit crying,even with the kids in the backseat of car... life seems so unfair! i am mad - but i do not know who or what to be mad at!

June 13 talked and cried with mom today. the Lord clearly answered a prayer for me this week and i am feeling a lot of love today "fill my cup Lord, I lift it up"

June 14 spent the week in AL w/ mom and dad and mawmaw, of course, got to see sweet payton at aprille and donnie's good to be with them and we missed jason

June 21 father's day and vbs - not fair for the dad's to have to share their day! jason is a wonderful man - i could not, should not and would not ask for another. things are not perfect in our life but i know there is love

June 27 VBS is over - fun week!
jacob got 2 hits at his baseball game - way to go!
laura rose went to a princess birthday party- fun!
jason and i got into an argument - bummer
then we made up - grace.
dreamed about travis last night, cannot explain the dream, it is fuzzy - but i feel sad today. i pray for the Lord to help me deal with this grief and build my faith in Him.

i love you all, christie
