Carowinds- Trip #1 2017

Image
We had our first trip to Carowinds in 2017 today! We met Leigh Ann and the kids for a fun day on the first day of spring break. Mom came with us for a little "Disney Prep."We lasted about 4.5 hours until the kids melted down. Mom and I felt pretty good that we lasted longer than them! It was perfect weather and the crowds were low. It looks like Natalie is going to be following after Allison in the daring department. She will ride any of the rides she big enough for. I even road The Cobra roller coaster with her. She loved it. I threw up. Having kids ruined me for any sort of motion! Being with their cousins really made the day fun and they can't wait to go back. We learned the kids need sunglasses and a break in the afternoon. Overall, super fun day.

Back to the Blog

I stopped blogging when I got my new phone....an iphone5. I had no reason to load pictures on the computer anymore. I take now directly load them onto facebook and have completely stopped putting them on the computer. 500+ pics later and the camera on my perfect phone is blurry. Turns out its not so perfect. So I decided I needed to go back to old school and use my "old" camera. We'll see how that turns out. I also miss documenting the family happenings and what God is teaching me about my current vocation--motherhood. I've been learning a lot this fall and really want to get it in writing. So I'm back to blogging. You may not see as many pictures as before until I get the phone camera fixed, but hopefully I'll be writing again.

Why I love....bold honesty {my eating disorder recovery}

Image
I'm a pretty bold, honest person. I say it how it is. Those of you who have know me for only the past 10 years or so wouldn't believe that I haven't always been like this. The lying started in high school...at first, it was just my feelings & emotions. In college I progressed to hiding some pretty horrible behaviors. In the early post-college years I flat out lied about close to everything. The hiding and lying threatened my job and almost took my life. I hated myself. I hated my body, my personality, everything. And I didn't know why. I had no idea why I was so depressed, confused and angry. I had had a wonderful childhood and came from a great family. There was no abuse, no rebellion, no tragic deaths or horrible secrets. So the guilt set in. Shoot, I don't even have a good reason to feel this way. Depression turned to guilt turned to shame. It all became too much and the feelings needed an outlet. Thus, the birth of my 7-year-long struggle with an eating di...
