Let Go and Let God.

I'm not sure whether to say "I can't believe it's already almost April," or "Wow, it's only April?!?" 2012 as already brought many exciting happenings (notice the trying to make this positive!!!)!
 
I'm continuing to battle the hand injury. I've definitely become accustomed to the nice contraption on my hand. It's becoming part of me, while I've gotten used to it, I couldn't be happier to start taking this thing off a little more. My physical therapist told me today he hopes that the doctor will allow me to start taking it off a little bit. So please say extra prayers for this as the healing appears to be doing well. I'm missing being as active as I was, and I can feel my body hating me for the pounds I'm gaining... walking is just not doing the trick, so I will be working hard this summer!!!!  Despite the hand issue, I'm now battling a lovely cough and I'm fearing the annual sinus infection is dwelling.. here's to hoping I can stop it in it's tracks... it seems like every spring break I end up just getting sick :(
The Contraption that causes me to get asked "what happened?" and I have to think about not being a smart Alec!
Don't Laugh, but that is the 'cover' for my contraption at night... Comical huh?!?
I am not the only family member that has been battling illness. Cosmo has been pretty sick as well. Apparently it's common of cats in Kentucky (a state with hard water) to have bladder issues, and Cosmo has fallen into this category. As much as I am not crazy about cats, it breaks my heart to see a member of the family not feeling well. He's been to the vet several times for this illness, and Friday it worsened. I was able to get him into the vet on Saturday, and he spent the weekend away getting better (and spending Michael and I's hard earned money as well). He is acting normal again, and I'm grateful for him to be home and stay better...
Happy to be home.

Perhaps the biggest news in the Wilson household is our newest edition, Rudy James Wilson. Michael and I are suckers for dogs anyways, but after going into Petsmart on a date night, I knew we were in for trouble when we saw his handsome face. I was worried about Bo and Cosmo, but fortunately I can say after a few days they are loving each other's company... and they might even become best friends (once Rudy looses his puppy teeth and stops trying to pierce Bocephus' ears). Between Cosmo, Bo and Rudy, I have made at least one trip to the vet a week in the last month, and am considering a second job just to afford my animals.
The day we met this precious face.
Best Friends and UK Fans

They Love Each Other
With that being said, Michael and I are becoming extremely antsy to get out of this house and have started actively talking about finding a new home. We recently got pre-approved, and we are trying to determine our next plan of action... which really should be to get this house ready to sell it (and start praying that it actually sells!!). I hate to be talking money again, but I can't help but get excited about this new journey, but I also get a stomach ache thinking of a higher mortgage and multiple medical bills from the thumb... I just have to Let Go, and Let God come in! I just need to keep reminding myself of that!

Happy Valentine's Day

E very year on Valentine’s Day, I turn the volume all the way up and blare OutKast singing Happy Valentine’s Day. There’s a line I’ve always loved: “Every day is the 14th.” It’s bold. A little gritty. Not soft and pink and Hallmark.  And maybe that’s why it resonates with me. Because love — real love — isn’t just one day. It isn’t just flowers and dinner reservations and polished smiles for pictures. If it’s real, it’s daily. It’s ordinary. It’s choosing each other when no one is clapping. Yesterday morning I put on a shirt that simply said, “You matter.”  On the back it read, “Dear person behind me, the world is a better place with you in it.” I wore it to CJ’s basketball game, not thinking much of it. But somewhere between the squeak of sneakers and the echo of whistles, a woman I had never met tapped me on the shoulder and asked if she could hug me. A complete stranger, that the message resonated with. And it hit me — we are all walking around needing that message. We need ...

Returning After 14 Years-- 2025: A Year That Asked a Lot

It’s been 14 years since I last wrote here.  In that time, I stepped away from blogging, but I hadn't stopped writing.  I've captured life's moments on Facebook, in social media posts, and in the pages of my journal. Truth of the matter is, I function best when words are written.  A lot has happened in the time since I've written here — we’ve added two busy, fun kids to our family, lost our sweet Bo, welcomed a new dog, Bruno, navigated COVID, experienced family loss, and lived through all the messy, beautiful moments in between. Blogging may not be what it once was, but some things are still worth putting into words. This post is my reflection on 2025 — a year that stretched me, stripped things down to what was real, and reminded me of what truly matters. ⸻ 2025: A Year That Asked a Lot 2025 asked a lot of me. It stretched me in ways I didn’t see coming and stripped things down to what was real. This year wasn’t loud about its lessons—but it was relentless. Family ...

Moving On Up with the Help of a Fortune Cookie and Stanley Steamer

Wow, I need to blog more.  I need to take more time out to reflect on what's going on in my life, but Michael and I have had recent adventures that demand a little blog time.... We've been talking about getting the house on the market for awhile now, and we've finally had some things happen that have really helped us make a positive turn and get 'our butts in gear' (as my mom would say).  My fortune cookie from Chinese take-out has proven to bring us some good luck, and I hope it continues! Big Dreams!!!!  In the last week, we've met with a realtor and despite Michael's 'jump in' attitude, I had to 'put my foot down' and say, "Things have got to be done around this house before I let anyone take pictures!"  We've been working on small projects here and there, but last Wednesday we finally decided to take on some bigger projects.  Why we waited until the start of the school year? I'm not sure... nor do I ask questions a...
