Before going any further, know that Christopher is fine ;). Well, our 3 year old had his tonsils and adenoids removed Thursday – as planned. Not as planned, he refused to cooperate when it came to eating and drinking afterwards. We think he was nauseated as a second dose of nausea medicine seemed to help A LOT. Because of a surgery he had as a baby [to be expanded on in the Christopher posts], he Read more
I’ve been working on queries again this week. EEK! I sent out one email one last night. I fully expect it to be a rejection but at least it didn’t bounce like it did when I sent it a couple months ago – you know, before I made a bunch of edits to the book itself. This morning I was working on my query for Steve Laube – my top choice for an agent at Read more
We got two pieces of good news today! Last year, Matt started a new job. Because of it’s location, he qualified for the National Health Service Corp student loan repayment program. Today, we received the funds to pay off his student loan! We won’t actually make the payment until after he gets back from his trip next week – just in case something happens – but the amount of the student loan is safely in Read more
First and foremost, my thoughts and prayers are with the Birdsong family. Ben was a member of our church. Last week, he went Home. Today was the service. I didn’t know Ben well, but he and Matt talked fairly often – about tennis and KWND and men’s group and a few other things. His son had worked with us at Chick-fil-A but I haven’t seen Frankie in several years. Ben was an important part of Read more
I have a three year old! I am both happy and sad about this. I’m working on a longer post [part 2 in the Christopher series] for later but for now… HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LITTLE MAN! He loves his train table! Pics will be posted later :). Here is one from last night. After he went to sleep, the girls helped me set up his new train table. They had each picked a few things of Read more
Usually I love computers, technology and everything associated with them. Usually. Most stuff. Some stuff I don’t understand but I’m better than the average bear when it comes to techno stuff. We have 3 Acer laptops. Mine, Matt’s and my old one [that still worked great until it, um, got some, uh, milk spilled on it courtesy of a 2yo and a questionable sippy cup lid – this in the middle of Nano, no less…] Read more
I’m playing around with new blog backgrounds and such so if it changes every time you click on something, that’s why ;). Hopefully, I’ll figure out what I really like soon =D.
Okay – it’s not got anything on it just yet, but Ang, my awesome friend got it started :). http://carolmoncado.com/ I love the pic! Reminds me of where the cabin is in Unbreak Her Heart. I’m very much looking forward to seeing the rest of the site!
I’ve done a lot of reading in the last couple of weeks. I’ve read another Deb Raney book that I’ll review later. I read all of the Cheney Duvall, MD/Cheney and Shiloh: The Inheritance books [9 all together]. I’d hope that there would be another several books, but since it’s been 5 years since the last one came out, I don’t think it’d be worth my time :(. Last night I read Erynn Mangum’s Miss Read more
I wrote this a couple months ago. Christopher’s birthday is coming up and I’ve been sort of reminiscing a bit. I plan on including much of our journey in a book someday but since that day isn’t here yet… Part 1 It would be wrong to say the whole thing started the day Christopher was born. It started much earlier than that. There was the spotting and fears of losing him. Those fears likely wouldn’t Read more
