Happy from my day…..I got my first package at my new house and it was from you! I have a special idea for the books too. I have sweet friends who mentor you engaged couples. I’m going to give them the book to give to the next 4 brides they mentor. Thank you!! Oh and praying, you’ll do great, I just know it. Let God speak through you, He always shows up!

I too was a little bit strong willed (I know it is hard to believe) and my mom and I had many many many fights. And we, um, still exchange words every once in a while.

But now – Happy news – she has been in Egypt for 2 weeks and she gets home Sat night and I AM SO EXCITED BECAUSE I LOVE MY MOMMY SO MUCH!!!

Ahh, Marla, thanks for your honesty. It’s so comforting to know everyone has those days, weeks.

Ava always says that chocolate chips make her happy. She eats one and says, “that makes me happy mommy.”

Well, the good news is that you are emptied and therefor ready to be filled up by God.
I know. So cliche and *puky* when you are in the pits of despair But I am praying for God to fill you up with HIM the next 24 hours. Enough time to have HIS goodness pouring out of you and onto others

First, congratulations on being a new aunt to Mia! Wow, she’s beautiful! And I will ask the Lord along with you for an amazing way for Him to provide for you to get to meet her precious newborn face.

I’m sorry about your rough day yesterday, Marla. Oh, sister, I just want to give you a big hug. I hope today was better and that you sleep so well tonight.

One of our happy moments today was getting Brennan his first pair of real tennis shoes. He’s walking like crazy, and it’s so fun to see his joy in his new-found ‘trick’. Bless you, friend!

I’ll pray for you, sweet Marla Taviano. Life is so very very, isn’t it? Deep breaths, one at a time. And then do the next thing.

Love you.

So sorry, Marla, that is was a rough day. Praying for you!

Happy story: Neil got a bouncy ball from Target and screamed, yes, screamed for joy numerous times in the store. Best $4 I ever spent.

‘Scuse me for being late to the unparty, but girl, I hear you and feel you and I have actually tried to quit before. My sweet husband assures me that I CAN’T POSSIBLY quit–”they’re” renewing my contract and giving me a 100% raise.

Right.

Will say a prayer that He sees you thru it and gives new perspective. And if that doesn’t work, get on a plane and fly up to Seattle. We can rock and thumb-suck together, my sweet lefty pal.
