Josh and I were watching ESPN last night as E:60 did a story on a man named DJ Gregory. This was truly one of the most inspiring stories I have ever heard. I see the sports channels do stories on professional athletes and injured athletes all the time, but never have I seen a story […]

Josh and I went to see the movie “Fireproof” several weeks ago when it opened and I have been meaning to blog about it. I’ve had this blog saved in my drafts since the weekend we saw it, but have just now gotten around to finishing it. Oh well… First of all, I was highly, […]

Josh went back to work today so it was just me and little man. I’ll admit, I was a litte anxious for today to arrive. Not that I don’t have confidence in my abilities as a mommy, but Noah is crazy about his daddy. It is so cute. He does things for Josh that he […]

I will be the first person to admit that I am in utter disbelief at the results of the recent Presidential Election. Josh and I stayed awake all night long watching the results come in, and I could feel my heart sink deeper and deeper into my stomach. I had a gut-wrenching feeling throughout most […]

Since I have now stepped into the roll of “mommy” I decided that keeping 2 blogs up to date was going to be more trouble than it was worth…and since this blog gets more readers, I am deleting our family blog and just making everything into one. I’ll continue to post family pictures and all […]

After 9 months of waiting, Joshua “Noah” Kirkland has finally arrived. 15 hours of labor and 49 minutes of pushing, he made his debute to world on October 27, 2008 at 5:49 pm weighing 6 lbs. 8 oz. and 20 inches long. He is absolutely perfect and truly the most wonderful blessing in our lives.

With Baby Noah’s pending arrival (assuming I don’t become the first woman in history to never have her baby…which is the way I feel these days. LOL) I finally got the house entirely clean. I had never heard of the “Nesting Instinct” until I started reading “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” (The must-have pregnancy […]

I have really been struggling with some personal issues lately. And I don’t mind putting them out there on the computer for people to read about because, one day, they will all be in a book anyways (Yes, I have intentions of writing a book…and will.) Alot of the things going on, probably have a […]

So, I was doing some “reflecting” today while Josh was at work…reading some old journal entries, looking back at some old pictures, and realized that we (as humans) are completely and totally incapable of being happy. Seriously. Think about it. No matter what goes on, what situation you are in, where you are in your […]
