Baby Dees is on the way




Cheerleader or football player? We aren't sure but we are due on December 26 and it is certainly an answered prayer. 

Between 9 years of life's curve balls and a few ups and downs, including two moves, me loosing my job, Paul changing jobs not once but twice and helping raise a bunch of Ethel Tigers, it finally happened. 

I've had friends and family that struggled to conceive but I never thought it would happen to us. No major testing was done and no drugs were taken. In the end, we had to wait until God made it happen. 

Last spring/summer, I was at the end of my rope. I have no patience on a good day and I'd just had enough. I cried and cried. Paul finally said to me -- "Do you not think God has a baby just for us?" 

We talked about all the options and decided to continue on our way. 

One day, maybe, I'll feel like sharing the entire story but for now I think that should remain private. 

I just ask that you pray for us and this baby. That's the best present you could give us.

What to do with the blog...

When I started this blog, it was to chronicle our lives at Ethel High School and the children that would become "our kids."

Over the years, I've done some different things on the blog but at the heart of it remained football and our lives.

With Paul's job change and another interesting development, I'm just going to leave the blog as it is. We are always going to be Ethel Tigers. Paul's been a Tiger since he was 13 years old and I've been along for the last seven.

It will be a chronicle of our lives and I'll do some more fun post on crafts, cookies, foodie Fridays. I'm going to get in the swing of things.

More to come....
