west texas wind

You may have heard stories of the wind in the Texas Panhandle. You may have even experienced the wind first hand. Probably you have not had the opportunity to experience wind like we had yesterday.

The two older kids had basketball practice in town so we ventured out in the horrific wind. As we drove by our farm, we found it blowing away....literally!!!

We were having trouble knowing whether we were on the road or not.

I was freaking out a bit because it sounded like it was sand blasting my suburban. I just knew we were going to run into or over something.

Thankfully, today is beautiful and we are reminded of beautiful days here in the Panhandle.

just me

I am a mom of 3 beautiful kids. We have a very busy life keeping track of their three schedules, teaching jr. high language arts, and being a wife to my amazing husband. I often, without intention, neglect the many amazing friendships in my life. I aspire to grow my relationships as a teacher, wife, mother, friend, and mostly, daughter of the King. I am so thankful for the gifts of grace and mercy because I need them frequently.

I am so blessed to be married to the sweetest, hardest working, most responsible, loving, deeply caring, and HANDSOME man. Robby and I have been married for almost 17 years. He is the father to our three precious children. Like myself, they totally adore their dad. I love him so much for his loving, patient, and giving heart.

Calleigh is the oldest of our three children. She is officially a teenager!!. She is very beautiful, inside and out, and an independent young lady. She enjoys playing basketball and hanging out with friends. She is an amazing big sister. She is a great reader and has been so responsible in her schoolwork this year.

Carson is 11 years old and in fifth grade this year. He has a very sweet and sensitive heart like his daddy. He is so much like his dad...looks and personality. He often melts my heart with the sweet things he says. He loves to play sports, build forts, ride go-carts, and all those other "boy" things. He also fills the role of "bubba" very well. He just thinks his little sister hung the moon. And she returns the feeling.

Cydney ...our baby...is 4 now. What a blessing!!! She loves to do just about anything, but her favorites are being held while drinking a glass of milk and being right in the middle of whatever her brother and sister are doing. She is such a blessing...keeping us smiling every day. Each new day brings on a an entire new set of discoveries, words and emotions. We are trying to soak in each of these moments because they pass too quickly.
