Well, it’s all over Facebook, and it’s on CaringBridge, so it might as well be here too. We received the news we have been hoping and praying for ever since that fateful day last September. Matt’s scan came back completely clear. The doctor informed us there is “no trace of cancer” in Matt’s body. It’s… Continue reading The Rest of the Story

Pretty in Pink
Today was Pinewood Derby – Girl Scout style! And it couldn’t have been a more different experience for us. First of all, it’s not a Pinewood Derby or a Pine Car Derby. It’s a Powderpuff Derby. I suppose technically the name should be the Rainbow Sparkles Powderpuff Glitter Ponies Derby but that’s too much of… Continue reading Pretty in Pink
Threads of Gratitude: Wedding Dress Edition
We – and apparently everyone else in the Metroplex who WASN’T at the Ft. Worth Zoo – spent the day at the Arboretum. We were wowed by the brilliant rainbows of flowers, amazed at the creative architecture of the Storybook Playhouses and refreshed by wonderful conversation, fresh air, and time to be together. Of course,… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Wedding Dress Edition
Building the Ark
“A long obedience in the same direction.” That quote has often been used to describe Noah. This morning, Bruce challenged the men in the church to be “Noahs” in their families. Noah was “perfect in his generation.” Does that mean he didn’t sin? That he didn’t mess up or make mistakes? Of course not. Noah… Continue reading Building the Ark
Death of the Cave Man
Happy Valentine’s Day! Oh, I know the calendar officially says “February 20”, but that doesn’t matter to us. The kids are happily playing at a Parent’s Night Out and we have a full 5 1/2 hours before we have to pick them up. So that means we celebrate Valentines’ Day tonight! We decided to treat… Continue reading Death of the Cave Man
Dear Debily: An Advice Column
A friend of mine recently asked me for some advice. I know! ME! Advice! Whodathunkit? Anyhoo, her boss was recently diagnosed with lymphoma and I guess with my husband having cancer and all she figured I might be qualified to answer the question of how to best help show support and care during this time. … Continue reading Dear Debily: An Advice Column
Threads of Gratitude: “Sew” Grateful
You know what? I’m really blessed. I’m blessed with a wonderful family. A family that makes me laugh, cry, and pull my hair out. A family that keeps me on my toes and grounds me to this earth. A family that makes my life crazy and keeps me sane. I couldn’t live without ’em and… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: “Sew” Grateful
Good Fortune
It was 16 years ago that I received very special fortune cookie. In fact, this cookie changed my life…forever. I apologize to those who’ve heard this story before. But it is such a great story that it bears repeating. The year was 1993, and Matt and I had been dating on and off for about… Continue reading Good Fortune
Dance Fever!
It’s official – we’re dancin’ fools! This evening Matt and I went on a date. We went dancing! But we didn’t dance together the whole night long. In fact, Matt went out with a younger woman. I was escorted by a younger man. And we were both okay with the whole thing. WHAT?? Before you… Continue reading Dance Fever!
Threads of Gratitude: Lab Coat Edition
What can I say? I know there’s a lot for me to be grateful for this week, but in my mind there’s really only one worth mentioning. This week, I’m grateful for healing. I’m grateful for doctors who provide medicine and care to help sick people get well…people like my husband, who as of this… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Lab Coat Edition
