Abby and I had a great time in Fayetteville this past week. We laughed a lot and we cried a bit too. It was a special week. Abby and I were so excited to meet sweet Colson for the first time. He is so precious and we loved every minute we got to love on him!! We took the kids to Jump Zone, Chuck -E- Cheese and they played in the evenings on the back porch and play set. Katie had scouted out where the Duggar's live and we made a trip by their house too in hopes of finding something exciting. The house was quiet and we wondered where everyone was.
Wednesday was a very special day. We celebrated Reese's first birthday and my Mom's 40th (ha!) birthday. Katie wanted it to be a day of celebration and it was. We went out to the Memorial Gardens and my precious Dad said a few words about Reese and her sweet life. He did an amazing job. Jason's dad led us in a prayer and then we released 100 pink, white and cream balloons. Katie wanted one red balloon mixed in and it was PERFECT. The whole thing was perfect. We then headed back to the house for lunch and did a little shopping as well. That night we celebrated my Mom's birthday as well with cake and ice cream after dinner.
Katie, the week was perfect. You hosted so many with grace and every detail including the cards, plants, flowers and food...it was all perfect. You are an amazing mom to THREE children and I love you so much. Your testimony is incredible and your witness is pointing so many to HIM. Happy Birthday, Reese. Happy one year in heaven. We love you, miss you and can't wait to see you one day! What a DAY of rejoicing that will be!!!
Bo and I met at Baylor and were married on August 5, 2000. We had a baby girl on September 18, 2007. Three years later, the Lord blessed our family with a son. He was born on January 28, 2011. I feel so blessed and honored to be the mom of two beautiful children! I love my life!!
