My First Blog, EVER!!!

Welcome to my blog!!!  I am so excited that I finally took the blogging 'plunge',  lol.

I would like to introduce you to my wonderful family.   Truly, I have been blessed far beyond what I deserve!

I can't wait to share days in my life, thoughts, recipes, ideas and inspiration!

                                                                     
                                                                     Meet my family...                  

                                                         

  My amazing husband, Nathan...

We have been married for 12 years and we have four children!

     

This man is a TRUE GIFT FROM GOD!!!

He loves me when I am unlovable, he is soooo patient and kind, and he understands me when I don't always understand myself!  He is a wonderful, Godly example of what a husband should be and I totally don't deserve him.  :-)   Did I mention that he is a fantastic daddy?  Our kids(and myself) wouldn't know what to do without him.  We would be truly lost!  I have recently discovered some hidden talents of his.  He has been remodeling several homes for people, and let me tell you, he can tile like nobody's business!!!  I told him that he should stop being so talented because now I have several things that I would like done around our house when time and money allow!  I know...like, NEVER, right!?!  :-)    Who has time?  

Precious Jewels...

Here are my very special kids!  They truly are treasures from above(even when I don't acknowledge it, like when I'm yelling at the top of my lungs to stop bickering or to clean up their messes, etc...)!  From left to right they are, Madelyn, Jack, Eleanor and Henry.  Each has their own unique gift and personality(of course!).  I will go into more detail later about how they each bless me in their own individualities.

Life's Path...

Life sure has thrown us some unexpected challenges in the past few years.  I am SO glad that God has been a constant in our lives even when we didn't put Him first.  I have been reminded so many times that He is ALWAYS willing to meet me wherever I am at in my life....He never fails even though I  do.    He is the perfect example of Patience and Love. 

Finding Healthy Hope in HIM has truly changed our lives.  

See you soon!  

Mary :-)
