It only takes a moment...

In a moment you turn around and life has changed. I used to be a girl who wished she was married and had babies..I was that girl for a long time~ then in a blink of an eye that changed.

Then I was a girl with a new husband and a baby on the way.

Then I was a mommy who worked and a wife who was always disheveled.

Then I was a mommy who was sick and so pregnant with a husband who was about to loose his job.

Then I was a mommy with a husband who was working 85 hours a week. I had a husband who worked so much and was under so much stress that he lost to much weight that myself and others were worried for him.

Then I was a mommy who had two little ones and was pregnant and had a husband who was working at a good but boring job.

Then I was a wife who's husband was lied about. My two little ones a baby and hubby all needed a strong person to rely on. I needed a moment to scream in my pillow.

Then I became a teachers wife, and mommy to more than my own.. Our friend Emmett came to us. We worked that way for a long time..

Now I am the Mom to three school children and the wife/girlfriend to my Hubby AND,  he and I are the entertainment for our friend Em..

It only takes a moment for your life to turn around and you become a different person, one that you never knew you could or would be.. I hope that I am ready for whatever moment comes next.

A teacher you wish would come live at your house..

Did you ever have a Teacher you wished would come and live at your house? One that made you feel like you were REALLY special! The kind that you knew would always take your side, and have faith in you?? I had a couple that I really walked away from feeling like there was someone at school who KNEW I was going to turn out OK.. Ever wonder how your parents felt about that Teacher??

Sam has had a Special friend the last 3 years who loved him and was really into him and his strengths. I have LOVED her and felt so grateful for her ability to see past what other people see. Jen has seen his funny side, tender heart and very intelligent and inquisitive side! This year there have been a lot of cutbacks in our school district and she unfortunately has lost her place at the school.

We will always love that she gave him a place to go that helped him feel safe from the world.

Sam and Jen
