What a Whirlwind!!!

Oh my goodness...what an amazingly wonderful 18 days we have had!

Hawaii with Andy was just what the doctor ordered! I loved my time with him and no one else! I also enjoyed my alone time while he was speaking at the convention! The weather was beautiful and the time with my hubby was much needed (and overdue)! Unfortunately, I have ZERO pictures from our time. I can't believe it. Oh well.

Tulsa was great. It was fun for everything to be so new for Tiki. The kids were wonderful on the drive. We loved our time with BeBe and PaPa. . .although it was much too short!

SWING JUMPING:





Branson was great! It was weird being a guest in my parents' home for the first time ever. It was weird being the "visitor" to the town that was my home for 35 years. Seeing my Gran'ma and my parents was the best ever! Being the guest definitely has its perks. . .undivided attention for four days! My parents didn't even go to work!!! It was wonderful! One night we had all of our friends over. Tiki loved meeting everyone! It was tough on the kids to see all of their friends for just a couple of hours and then know that we were leaving, but the time was good! I'd give it a perfect TEN!












LA was a blur. We had so much fun spending the day with Uncle Brady! Literally, I think all of my kids think he is the greatest thing since the Wii! They fought over who could hold his hand and there were real tears shed by Gabby when her turn was over! He took us to Downtown Disney and to lunch and then we got to hang out at his apartment. Jen was in Disney training all day, but I got to hug her neck for a quick second before we headed to the airport!




The Philippines was indescribable! It was beautiful and fun and relaxing and the best trip ever! I loved having the Kivu people with us! It was so much fun to share a place I love so much with our extended Kivu family! I loved spending time with the campers and their parents! I'm already counting down the days until next year! (More El Nido pictures on Facebook. . . if you're a camper looking for photos with you in it!)



















That is the quick recap of our March so far. Enjoy the pictures! And please pray for Andy. He is in the Middle East for the next two weeks and he is still in a ton of pain from his fall off of the roof!

The Grief of a Stepmom

The grief of a stepmom.  This post has had so many titles:  The Invisible Grief of a Stepmom, The Silent Grief of a Stepmom, The Lonely Grief of a Stepmom. . . the grief of a stepmom is like no other grief because it feels so homeless. My stepson died a few weeks ago.   Marc and I have only been married eight months and Mackay, my stepson, lived in NYC and we rarely got to see him (he didn't get to come to the wedding or Cabo and didn't stay with us when he came to town), so I didn't have much of a relationship with him.  So there is a weird layer of loosing someone I hardly knew and I feel like that is the layer that makes the most sense to everyone.   While the family was mourning, I was the one organizing all of the meals coming in from our wonderful friends and neighbors, I was cleaning up one meal and setting up for the next.  I was keeping the house in order and making sure Marc was able to surround himself with the friends and family he needed to make it through the

Should've Said No. . . ?

Andy proposed during a curtain call of Me and My Girl , a musical in which he played an old man who went most of his life without telling the woman he loved that he loved her... Twenty-three years ago today Andy asked me to marry him. . . .  he was my best friend and I thought he was the love of my life.  Should I have said no? I don't know how many times I have now been asked a version of that question in the past couple of years and I cannot count the number of times I have asked myself that question over the past decade, but it is a dumb question with no great answer. If I would have said no 23 years ago, I would have saved myself from so many tears and so much pain, but I would have missed so much laughter and so many exciting firsts and I would be such a different person. . . . Because of this day, 23 years ago, I am who I am and I have so much to be thankful for. Because of this day, 23 years ago, I have five of the best kids on the planet.  They are t

Mother's Day Thoughts

I've been feeling so many Mother's Day feels this weekend.  For starters, my big kids came home to surprise me and that was the most wonderful thing!  I remember Mother's Day 2017 when I cried because Hays was a Senior in high school and heading to Texas A&M and I thought it would be my last Mother's Day with my five all together. . . . and yesterday proved those tears unnecessary!  And then, as if that wasn't more than I could ever wish for, Marc spoiled me like I have never been spoiled before.  I am consistently blown away and humbled by how much he appreciates me and shows me his appreciation with words, gifts, acts of service and more.  I am so grateful for this husband of mine and the way he loves me and shows our kids what selfless love is supposed to look like! But even before yesterday, I've been thinking a lot about all of the different dimensions of motherhood I now experience and it is shaping me into a new and stronger and more compassionate and
