Grandma Bee

My sweet Grandma Bee went to Glory on September 10th. While it does bring some tears it was her time to go. It brings me more happy tears to know that she is with her Lord and also with her sweet husband Jim.

I could make lists and lists of the things she taught me...and I could not number the countless hours that she prayed for me. (And for SO many others) She was my spiritual leader and counselor and so often I would just sit and listen to her wisdom and truths. Her love for the Lord was and is inspiring and the love her and her husband Jim shared is the kind of love and relationship I pray for in my own marriage. Like I said...there is so much I could say but all those are memories that I will have forever. We celebrated her life...cause that is the way she wanted it.

She is in Glory. She is with the Lord. She is home.

Part of her life celebration write up...

Been a little while....

Wow...time is flying by! I can't believe it's been since July since I last blogged. Well a lot has happened so here it goes...

School is in. That could pretty much sum up why I haven't blogged in awhile. WORK! We are both extremely busy with work. This always seems to be the busiest time of year for us. And though I am not coaching volleyball for the first time in 9 years... I feel like I am still just as busy.

We are thanking God everyday for this precious little one! We are still very excited and I am even more excited that the morning (or all day) sickness went away just in time for me to go back to work. We reached the half way point and found out we are having a little boy!!!!!!!! So now the name hunt begins. We thought we had names we liked but it's crazy once you actually have the responsibility of naming a child for the rest of their lives how much thought you have to put into it!! So we aren't sure yet... I will keep you posted!~ :)

So here are a few of the ultra sound pictures at the half way point!
