To Iowa and Back...

So I left Thursday morning for my trip to see a dear friend of mine and her husband who live in Iowa. It was my first time flying on my own, and I must admit, as scared as I still was, it was not all that bad. I had left from Philly to Cleveland, and then from Cleveland to Kansas City, MO. then we had a three and a half drive back to her place in Iowa. I had a great time visiting with her!! and I also had the opportunity to judge for her cheerleading tryouts. She is a coach for a college out there. It was interesting and a lot of fun. I've never officially judged cheer tryouts before. But it was a great time! I flew back home yesterday and my wonderful husband was there at the airport to pick me up... then we went right to a volleyball game!! Crazy, I know. And now I'm home today and Tim had to leave for travel this morning. He'll be gone until Thursday. This is hard, I come back home just to have him leave... Not fun! So I think I will be trying to get up to NJ to make a visit to my niece and her mommy and daddy. We will see how everything goes. I did just get back from traveling and I'm not sure if I'm ready to get in the car for a 2 hour drive... but, there is that possibility.

Well, that's really about all the grand news for now in my life... :)

My Niece is FINALLY here!!

Oh my goodness, it's been forever once again since I've made a post!!! Well, things have been slightly busy, but still no excuses....



My brother and Missy finally had their BEAUTIFUL baby girl, Adrina Rae, last Tuesday at 7:18pm, 6lbs 13oz, 20in. She is absolutely the most adorable little thing I've ever laid my eyes on!! She has her mommy's nose, and daddy's mouth, mommy's eyes, but daddy's beautiful long eye lashes!! Everyone did so great, especially my sis, Missy! it was long, but oh so worth it. That little girl is so loved!

Getting so nervous....

So I leave for Iowa to visit a friend in 17 days. I've NEVER flown by myself before, I've been on a plan, but either with my husband, or my mother... I'm so nervous because I have an over active imagination. ::sigh::

Anthem of Hope

So I just wanted to share this new and exciting cause that has been developed by a dear friend of ours. Darren lost his beautiful wife to brain cancer last year and her story has touched many of lives, some of you may have even come across his website and have read their story before. But through their trials God has been there for them and has blessed them greatly! Her struggle and hope has started this wonderful new movement! Please check out the website especially if you or anyone you know may be losing hope through your physical trials here on earth.
