Cowgirl IT UP! (Chicks N’ Chaps Event 2017)

When I was in grade school I had a good friend named Levi. It is safe to say that he was my first major crush. I loved his freckles and odd elastic skin. I would always sit with him on the school bus, invite him to my birthday parties, and one time we watched Ice …

Sayonara Chemo

Alright, breathe in, chest back, shoulders up... and breathe out. Repeat, several times. Do you feel that? The ultimate sigh of relief. I know I do. I feel like I have been holding my breath for the last 20 weeks. Mom, told me back in March about her diagnosis and ever since then it has …

It’s My Chemo and I’ll Smile If I Want To

I write my blog so I have chance to be honest. Gut wrenchingly honest. I want people to know all of the thoughts that run through my mind (ok not ALL). However illogical or logical. With the risk of sounded conceded, I know that I am a wise girl. I have been through a lot …

I’m Not God

I'm not sure what the right word is, ignorant maybe? I feel as though I am at a loss for words. It's not writers block as much as it is guilt of the mind. I have no clue what needs to be said and how to say it. My mother would never say anything, her …

Going through the big “C” and I don’t mean Chlamydia

Finally.  David and I are starting to feel better. It started off as a headache that wouldn't quit, then the sore throat, the undying cough, nasal congestion, and for me an ear ache that hurt so bad I actually took a pain leftover from my previous surgery. Goodness.  I have been hibernating in the dank, …

My Mothers Voice

I Can Officially Say I Survived a Hurricane

Well, Hurricane Matthew is officially in Charleston's history. Ours too.  It's interesting to me as some one who grew up in the mountains her whole life to have lived through a hurricane. I was raised in Montana, the land of below zero and frozen air, but I never once had a snow day. But here …

Baby Girl’s Name

It is hard to believe that I am 27 weeks pregnant! Baby is the size of large head of lettuce. I'm almost done with my second trimester. The reality that we are going to have a third being in our home in about three months is beginning to overwhelm me. I have one more month …

Preparing For Baby

There are big moments in life as we all know. Moments that stay in our hearts forever whether good our bad, they stay with us. Growing up you begin to think about your future. Who you might become. Who you'll marry. The kind of career you might establish. It's amazing because nothing is ever what …

The highs and lows of pregnancy

Well at this stage in the game I am 17 weeks pregnant and entering my fifth month! Exciting! Baby is the size of a pomegranate! Or you could say I'm 18 weeks pregnant... The doctors seem to be inconsistent. The two doctors I've seen at the same practice have different ideas on due date. One …
