Happy Father's Day

Today is Father's Day and I want to wish my husband Thomas the greatest Father's Day ever. He is such a great dad to Audrey. She is definitely a "daddy's girl". He plays with her, spends time with her, takes care of her and does all the things a great dad should do.

I knew that Thomas and Audrey would have a special bond but I had no idea they would be as close as they are. I stayed home with her for about 2 months after she was born. When I went back to work, Thomas took six weeks of Family Medical leave to stay home with her. The two of them became so close during that time and have stayed that way ever since.

I think that he was born to be a father and I just want him to know how much I appreciate all he means to me and to Audrey.

Happy Father's Day Thomas.

Congratulations Katelyn!!

Today was a great day. My niece Katie graduated from high school. I can't believe that she is 18 years old and a high school graduate. It doesn't seem like that long ago that she was a newborn baby coming home from the hospital. I am so proud of her and all she has accomplished. She is smart, beautiful, funny, and sincere. The day was a little marred by the fact that the assistant principle of her high school called her by the wrong name when she received her diploma. She called her "Kathleen" instead of Katelyn. Oh well, we all know who she is. She's our "Katie girl" and we're all so excited for her future. I love you Katie.

Welcome to my blog

Welcome to my blog. I hope you'll enjoy it. I'm a 34 year old wife to Thomas, mother of 4 year old Audrey, and work full-time as a commercial insurance agent. I'm hoping this blog will serve several purposes - (1) Give me an opportunity for creative expression, (2) Serve as a place for meaningful discussion about current events and issues, and (3) Fun!

I'll try to keep up as much as possible and post pictures so family and friends can keep up with the adventures of our family. For my friends who are experienced bloggers, feel free to offer suggestions.

For those who don't know me well yet, I'm a music lover - I love to listen to all kinds of music (except rap), love to read, love to solve crossword puzzles, love to visit with family and friends. One of my favorite things to do is praise the Lord at Parkway Wesleyan Church in Roanoke with my good friends in the Voice of Praise choir.

Thanks for checking out my blog. Visit again soon!
