Random Thoughts




Anna's mother (not to be confused with me, her stepmother or Becca's mother) has had twin babies. Anna is quite excited about this and is waiting for her mother to pick her up and take her to see the babies.
*UPDATE!!! Anna informed me tonight that her stepmother has died. She said the bad guys got her. She also said that "she is up in Heaven with Jesus and Jesus is going to make her well."
What a strange daughter I have. *** NOTE :to all those who may not know- all of these mothers are imaginary. I am the only mother she has.

Anna misses our 19 year old lifeguard. Out of the blue at dinner she chimes in with"I miss Trent." Trent has said that he will marry her, but I really think the 14 year age difference will be hard to overcome.

One morning this week David was getting in trouble for a bad habit he has. I looked at Daniel and said " Don't you wish David would stop that?", Daniel answered with," I pray everynight." Can I just tell you that I cried?! That was one of the sweetest things he has ever said. Simple, to the point and sweet.

Samuel still loves to cuddle with me. I remember praying when he was a toddler that he would never outgrow cuddling with me. Sometimes I don't remember that he likes it so I don't invite it. But whenever I ask him to sit by me, he jumps up with a smile on his face that melts my heart.

David pushed Samuel in the pool today. After he did it, he looked at me with such a smile of satisfaction on his face. It was so cute.

I love my church. I don't get the opportunity to tell them that much. If you are reading this and you are a member of FBC, know that I love you and am so proud to be a part of your lives and to be in town with you. My prayer is that when you think of me as the preachers wife, you also think of me as your friend.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
