Our Story

I had to create a autobiographical piece for my grad class. We were told to choose a certain time period of our life and then write about that. It could be three hours, three days, or ten years. It didn't matter as long as we didn't tell the story of our whole life just a part of it.

Naturally, I wrote about our experience with David's life and death. It is so funny becuase I haven't ever loved writing until this class. I didn't think I would be able to write my thoughts and feelings about David down. Actually, I was quite nervous about it. But I loved being able to write about how David was and our story afterwards. So much that it is 6 pages long. I just couldn't stop. I had to say it all. Isn't that awesome how when it's on God's time God really flows?

My goal is to somehow put it here on the blog for all of you to read and for any moms who stumble upon my blog. Yes, the story is about David but it's also about God's grace and that is what a mom who is grieving needs to hear. That even in the darkest days of your life, God is still there. Grieving with you. That there is hope.
So, I'll get HOTTIE on it. He is so good at all things technical.


I can't wait for you to read it. I hope it gives you a better picture of who our David was and how much he impacted our lives and the lives around us.


God Bless and anxiously waiting for 50 degree weather,
Carly

Supergirl Sunday

Every year Superbowl Sunday marks a special occasion here in our household but not because of football or Superbowl parties but because it's really Supergirl Sunday.

Every year when HOTTIE goes off to his man fest at my brother-in-law's house, the girls and I have our own party. Where we do the things that we want and have our own fun(much like when HOTTIE goes out of town).

This year's festivities included:
-getting a manicure and pedicure from mommy
-getting happy meals from McDonald's
-gettting hot fudge sundaes
-making playdough
-playing Lucky Duck
-watching movies
-and last but not least staying up an hour past our bedtime

This year turned out to an awesome Supergirl Sunday. No housework, no schoolwork, no grad school homework, just me and my girls spending time together and having fun. I can't wait for the many more Supergirl Sundays we have ahead of us. I can only imagine how much fun we'll have when the girls get a little bit older and they actually like to go shopping. But for now, I'll appreciate these Supergirl Sundays when my babies are still babies and they LOVE being around their momma. Can a girl ask for anything more?

Joy moment #4: Supergirl Sunday

God, you are truly awesome in every way and I LOVE that you allow me to make such great traditions to share with my precious loves. I am so excited to see what you have planned for Supergirl Sunday next year.

I hope you ladies enjoyed your Supergirl Sundays too.

Thankful,
Carly

Amazing Part 2

This is a continuation of the first post so if you didn't see it please check it out.

God is so good!!!!!! Before you read the read of this post, please look in the comments section of the original post. What I am about to say isn't as cool if you don't read it for yourself.


ARE YOU SERIOUS????????????????????????? THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK ALICA AFTERIMAGE WROTE ME A COMMENT. DUDE, THAT MADE MY DAY, MY WEEK. CAN YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT SUCH A THING COULD HAPPEN TO ME? THAT A REAL LIVE AUTHOR READ SOMETHING THAT I WROTE, AN AUTHOR WHO WROTE SOMETHING SO AMAZING. (I'm writing the above in capital letters because I am astonished at how awesome God is and I'm REALLY, REALLY excited!)

I can't wait to tell the people in my grad class. I can't wait to tell Dr. Walters, my awesome professor by the way. They are going to flip.

HOTTIE had asked if I had written the author back yet and I haven't. I don't want to seem like a total nerd and write something dumb so I'll wait until I'm calm and collected and then write her back. I still can't believe that I, Carly, get to write BACK to the woman who wrote Alica Afterimage. OH MY GOSH!!!

Thank you God for such an amazing opportunity!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!

Joy moment #3: Getting a comment from Lulu Delacre.

Thankful for a God who loves me just that much,
Carly
