Exciting News!!!

Michael proposed to me on Friday the 13th of June. I almost can't believe this. It is really still surreal. I am so excited about Michael and I living out this journey and adventure together. I am so thankful for all of you who have come along side of us either together or seperately. You have played a huge role in shaping us for each other. We are so grateful to you all. We love you and can't wait for you to share in our special day.

Memorial Day Weekend

The Loney Family

Bryan, Lisa, and Mya set off to St. Louis for Seminary last Sunday the 25th. I am so excited to be able to see how God is going to use their family. They are amazing people who love others. However, again it is like feeling a big whole in my heart. They have been there for me as a single mom. I have called them late in the night just for questions about fevers, saddness, and even robbers. They never once acted as if I was an annoyance. They were right there to help me and answer any questions with love and concern. I met them just right before Elyse was born and their daughter Mya was about 6 months old. Leasey and Mya were friends right from the start. Elyse still calls Mya everyday on her "cell phone" on the way to school. It is the most adorable thing to watch. So again we will both feel the loss in a huge way. They are family to us!!!

My Emily; Leasey's Emmie

Mike and Emily got married May 17th at 3pm. It was such a fun time to celebrate with them. Elyse and I were both in the wedding. However, when I came home to an empty house on Sunday it was lonely. We both missed Emily. Emily has been so amazing to me. She has helped me basically rasie Elyse up to this point. I couldn't of asked for a better helper. Elyse absolutley adores Emily. So I am sure that there will be many trips to Auntie Em's new house in Vero Beach. We love you guys and wish you all the best.

Saying Good-bye

I have had to watch some very precious people leave Tallahassee in the last month. It has been sad to think about these peole leaving, as they have played a huge role in my life since I had Elyse. However, I know that it is all the more an opportunity to lean on Christ and know that He is consistent, sovereign, and unchanging. But the saddness in my heart still remains.

Mommy and Leasey

I had a perfect Mother's Day. We went to church at Centerpoint with Michael. Then Michael and I met his family at Torreya Grill for lunch. Then we went back to his house to hang out with his family. We had such a great day of fellowship and fun together. I can't believe this is my third mother's day. I am just such in awe my baby girl and all that I learn from her.

The Loney's

This Sunday was my last Sunday with the Loney's at Centerpoint. The girls just got together and ran around like usual. They even started to show their talent on the Piano.
