I miss you!

Two years ago today I lost my best friend to cancer! It seems like yesterday that my Dad was sitting next to me with his sweet face just starring at me. I would often catch him looking at me with such pride. I would always ask what he was looking at and he would reply with something along the lines of "I'm just so proud of you" or "I just love you so much!" I miss everything about him. I miss his smell, his rough hands, his hysterical laugh, and most of all our conversations. Oh what I would give just to hear his voice one more time. He was the godliest, kindest, most loving man I've ever known. My heart aches when I look at my sweet little boy and know that this side of heaven, he'll never know his Pop Pop. I know in my heart that if I had the power to bring him back, I wouldn't do it. Eternity with Jesus is just too magnificent to come back to this earth. So for now, I'll wait! I will be reunited with him one day and I assure you that Tom Sachs will be waiting to show me what I've been missing out on! I love you, Daddy!

Welcome Heather...

FINALLY my sister-in-law Heather (my brother Cord's wife) is blogging!!! Heather has been a part of my life since I was a senior in high school...hard to believe. She is more like a sister then a sister-in-law. I love her dearly! I'm so glad you are joining the blogging bandwagon. Please check her blog out here. The only picture I could find at the moment.

Behind The Scenes...

David, Kenny, Mark, and Matthew

These are the Full Cup Bread Co. owners...minus the wives. Kenny and Mathew are twin brothers and have been working in the bakery for years. I stopped by the bakery the other night to snap some pictures of the guys working. We have a full staff that bakes all our bread, but the guys were helping out this particular night.David and Matthew making Cranberry Walnut Bread.Our Ezekiel Bread...one of our best sellers!!!!

Pictures Finally...

I'll start with the most recent pics. This weekend I went to my Mom's and we had lots of fun. We also went to a fabulous "Choo Choo Train" birthday party for one of Tripp's best friends. My best childhood friend Georgi's little boy James turned two!!
Yep, we took a Hot Air balloon ride!
The rest are random pictures from Summer. Sorry that I've been a terrible blogger. I'll try and do much better. Despite the move, we managed to have a little bit of fun here and there.We visited Georgi one weekend! I don't know why this is typing in blue and is underlined. I can't get it to stop. Oh well! James and Tripp in the tub.We visited my Mom a few times. This is my childhood bathroom where I found my little boy hiding. Have I mentioned that Tripp is one BUSY, BUSY 15 month old????We visited Cord and Heather (my brother)! Ellie is little miss mommy to Tripp and insisted on washing his hair. Cord's kids love Tripp and I'm so glad!While visiting Cord and Heather we got to see Jeremiah and Ellie play baseball. Tripp wanted to play too! That was fun, I can assure we did not sit on that nice little blanket that you see. Don't be fooled, I chased Tripp off the baseball field...the whole time!
We moved...

We went to my Mom's for our annual 4th of July bash!!!! Doesn't Tripp look so cute screaming his head off...kidding!Riding Papa's Ranger in the Big parade!Tripp helping Daddy in our new house. I will post pictures of our house sooner then later.After Church one Sunday...I don't know what kind of face he is making??And then Tripp managed to get himself stuck in the magazine rack while we were busy moving stuff in.

I don't know why the typing is back to normal. If someone knows why it's doing this, do tell! I know that was long, but I had to make up for lost time. I hope you enjoyed a peek into our crazy summer. I'll try to do better at my blogging. Also, I wanted to say thank you to all of you who left comments about losing the baby. God is ALWAYS faithful and we feel his righteous, right hand holding us up. Thanks for all of your support and prayers.

Happier Times!

Thought I would post a video that would make you smile! He really gets going at the end. This was taken from my camera when we were moving out of our house in Nashville. Mimi (Dave's Mom) stopped by to pick up Tripp and brought her dogs! Enjoy!

Prayers Please!

I feel as though I need to let everyone know that I lost the baby this week. Thank you for your continued prayers. As hard as it is, we know this is part of God's plan for our lives. We will cling to him during this time!
Lamentations 3:22-24 "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new EVERY morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself," The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him"

Blessings!

P.S. Our computer should be hooked up on Monday....I have lots of pictures to share!

Quick Update!

Sorry, no pictures yet, but hopefully soon. We are finally in Atlanta, not in our house, but in Atlanta!!!!!! Dave has been working day and night (literally) to finish our house so we can move in. He has put in mostly 22 hour days for a month. I know this sounds like an exaggeration, but it is oh so true. He has worked so hard and I am such a proud wife. He has done all of this for us! Pray for him please that he will stay healthy. We are actually moving in this evening if all goes as planned. The inside of our house has been completely gutted. We have lots to do on the outside, but at least we are shiny, clean, and new on the inside. I will post before and after pictures once I have everything moved in and on the walls. I have so many summer pictures to share, but again that will have to wait. We have been super busy with the house. My mom and Dave parents watched Tripp for an entire week while we worked. I hated being away from him, but a 14 month old is super busy and into everything, so it worked out for the best. Stay tuned, I'll be back as soon as we have Internet up and running. I'm on a friends computer now...until next time!!!!
One more thing, several have asked about how I've been feeling...those of you who know me, know that my last pregnancy I was sick (throwing up sometime 6 times a day) for 8 months. I have been AWESOME this entire time. I have occasional queasiness (is that a word?) throughout the day, but as long as I eat, I'm great. Keep praying!!!
