Beach Destination!

Yeah peeps! Tater and I are going to the beach August 14-21! A whole week of fun in store for the Randolph two!

Mr Randolph may be able to join us along with the other guys at the end of the week!

I am so excited and can't wait to be laying in the sun! I remember the first trip I took with the Randolph family to the beach. We headed to Destin, Florida. It was Matthew, his mom, dad, brother, Memaw, and me. We were a large group but boy it was a ton of fun. I bought my first bikini bathing suit on this trip. Mr Randolph helped me pick out a little black suit that I have no hope to ever fit in again lol.

It was also the first time I had ever been to the ocean and swam. I didn't really swim so much as I stayed on Matthews back while he waded through the water. There's SHARKS in that water.

You can just imagine how it's going to go when Tater wants to go in the water. I will let him but I won't like it. It also doesn't help that I am currently watching Shark Week on tv.

Now to worry about what I will need to bring. I have only had to pack for such a long trip with a Tater once and that was our Tennessee trip when he was 7 months. I am glad that I won't have diapers and bottles to bring but now it's extra undies and toys.

I am gathering all the items slowly but I am hoping to start packing soon so nothing will be last minute. I guess I like being over prepared.

Gazelle speed!

We did it again! Four accounts paid off and I feel like the huge weight we are carrying is getting lighter each month.

I found out other great news when I was getting the balances in some if the larger debts. One of our items has a payoff balance that is 700 dollars less than the current balance. So that means in September when we get an extra paycheck we will be able to hopefully eliminate that account. Yay for having assets!!

I also found out that one of our doctor bills currently holding at 2400 dollars was an error on the part of the doctor. We will only owe 200 or less once the error is corrected. A mistake in our favor! For the win.

I love watching the Debt Snowball method work. I find myself going over our account each day searching for areas we can cut back.

Since we are in Baby Step number 2 we are not saving anything. Dave Ramsey said that this baby step is dedicated to getting rid of debt. We are working on all the debt except for the house we are a couple steps away from that even though we don't plan on paying it off.

Mr Randolph is still on board with this system. It's not easy and it takes a lot if self control and dedication. I am proud to say that Matthew and I haven't fought about money for the past few months. It used to be the biggest fight, mostly because we did not have a plan.

Unfortunately there are a few that do not support this system and actually think I am nuts for working so hard. These are the same people that have dug themselves a huge hole and can't see the light. I have learned to not care what they think, but it doesn't stop me from showing them that it's working! Ha!

Next month we will be paying off the washer and then starting on a loan we took out. Stupid move, but this is how you learn right? After the loan is gone we will start hacking at the American Express. Evil card I tell you! We have zero balanced this card a few times in the past few years but it always seems to get a huge balance. I have chopped up the card and called the company to take off charging privileges.

I know some people have control when it comes to their credit cards but we are one of the millions that have none. So we eliminate the temptation.

Keep us in your thoughts and thanks for all your support and praise!

Three Decades!

I know that must sound like a long time but from what I hear it seems to fly by when you are having fun!

My parents celebrated their 28 year anniversary on June 2nd and are still going strong!

Mr Randolph's parents also celebrated an anniversary on the 22nd of July. Thirty years!

With that being said I wonder how the hell do they do it? How do you love someone unconditionally for that long?

When things get to hard it always seems easier to just pick up and leave. You wonder why your loved one makes things so hard for you. Then you learn it isn't always about you....the world does not revolve around Kayla. Imagine that!

Things worth having don't come easy and marriage has proven to be the hardest thing in our lives. We fight about money, Tater, hobbies, chores, and about a million other things!

Then you have those moments where you can't get enough of that special person. I am not sure where I am going with this post. It seems like a jumbled mess of thoughts. Sorry!

I know that I want to celebrate 30 plus years with Matthew and I hope that we make it through our trials with the same love that our parents share.

Sometimes I miss the sweet things we used to do, like writing letter in a notebook everyday. Tracing I love you with our finger on each other when we didn't want to draw attention. It seems like I miss these small things more than I know.

Hmmm.

Anyways here's to the next couple of decades!




Weekend Recap!

My weekend started at 6:30 pm on Friday. I am glad I got off a little early because I had to prepare my house for a party of women and children.

I am not sure why I killed myself cleaning since it was completely filthy by the end of the party. I guess that means we had a great time.

It was a Premier Jewelry show and I was the host. I don't mind hosting because I get free jewelry! I had lots of appetizers: chips and rotel cheese dip, crackers and hummus, cookies, cheese/meat/cracker tray, coffee, and wine. My friend Stevi brought and incredible chicken salad dip. We were bummed that Sammy did not bring her special stuffed croissants ;-(!

The "jewelry lady" did a spectacular job showcasing everything and did great on her presentation. Everyone had a good time and after a few of the guests left the real party started. I have learned that anytime something is held at my house I fully expect to be up until 2am. I was and even cleaned everything up afterwards.

The next morning I was up and about early because it was a Smith/Randolph girls slumber day. It's a LIE! There is no such thing as slumber when I am with my mom and SIL. These women have wheels on their asses and don't slow down for anyone! I do love them.

We started shopping at Old Navy then headed to the mall. Oh did I forget to mention that we had Tater, Monkey, and PUDDIN Momma. After Old Navy Tater was screaming for a snack, screaming! Growth spurt?

We fed them all and started scooting around the mall. You all know that nothing stands in the way of Tater getting his nap in and I knew that he was tired after we stopped at Build a Bear.

Who in the hell puts evilness like this in a store?!?! We went in because PUDDIN needed a Smurfette. Tater wanted everything in there and I was not spending that kind of money on a stuffed animal that he would never play with. Plus I genuinely hate stuffed animals!

After seeing huge crocodile tears and him simply losing his mind I drug him out of the store and stood out in the isle of the mall. It's lovely being one of those parents with one of those kids but they ALL go through it and lucky for him he lived through it!

I took him out of the buggy and put him in the stroller. Not ten minutes later he was passed out and I was happy. He slept for the entire time we were in the mall. It's amazing. Especially since one cousin pulls his hair and the other kept hitting him to wake up.

Finally we left the mall and headed home for some swimming. The kids had a blast in the pool with their Pap! My SIL just loved when I snuck her and threw her in the pool. Yep I am a bad seed and she makes it way to easy. I mean everyone knows not to walk by a pool unless you plan on going in, right?!?!?

We ordered pizza and played cards while the boys played in their tent. They were "camping!" I love it!

The next morning my friend came and picked me up and we took off to Lowes. It was time to get my yard together and he was the perfect person to help. We worked our butts off but finished it up beautifully! I am very proud!

Joey treated me to lunch, ouce-cream, and then a movie! Harry Potter was amazing and of course I cried. Mr Randolph joined us for the movie and I think he liked it. We headed home and I think I sacked out at 8pm. I was exhausted!

Back in April- Tater's first boat ride!

It was a beautifully hot and sunny day where our little family of three had no aspirations to do anything. I think I was born with wheels on my ass so this just would not work for me. I called my mom to see what they were doing and they were out crabbing!

I was so jealous because I was stuck at home. So being proactive I called to see if Tater's papaw was in town. Thankfully he was so I knew what Tater and I were doing for the rest of the day while Mr Randolph zoned out on video games.

We shot out the door and were so excited when Nana agreed that we should take their boat out for Claytons first ride. I was sad that his daddy missed it but I tried to get lots of pictures and video. Tater had an adorable life vest and really has no issue wearing it when we finally figured out how it was suppose to be worn!

When we got on the water and the boat started he wasn't to sure about it and decided that sitting with Nana would keep him safe. He started to warm up after a few snacks and loved pointing out all the birds and the alligators he kept seeing. We never saw any alligators but he sure had us going.

I wore my bathing suit in hopes of catching some rays. I was sitting in the front of the boat and Tater finally got brave enough to start walking around. Papaw drove us around and showed us all the huge shrimp and tug boats. You should have seen Taters eyes.

A couple hours and about a billion more alligator sightings Tater crashed hard. He started the bot ride in his Nanas arms and ended up napping with her. She just has the magic touch.

I can't wait for the next boat ride and maybe a little fishing since Clayton has become an avid castor. Maybe I can talk the hubby into going next te!

Back in April-Tater's 1st Movie;Hop

Hop!

Ok so the movie really was not the greatest but I really did not care. Uncle Joey was treating the Randolph Creux, his mom, and niece and I all to a movie. I was terribly excited because this would be a first for the little man.

He was so excited to be in a new place. I think he would have been happy just playing in the arcade all day....what two year old wouldn't? When Joey's mom mentioned snacks Kayla(Joeys niece) and Tater hauled booties to the concessions. If you know Clayton then you know that he doesn't say no to food nor does he share for that matter. ;-) I think he gets that from mommy!

They have such a cool little snack tray just for toddlers. A little bag of pahtorn, tandy, and duce! We had to sit in the very front of the theatre and that was not pleasant at all. I really did not understand what they place was this packed for a kids movie but who knows. The movie started and Tater lost all composure. He was amazed at how big the tartoon was and had to tell me everything that he was seeing. I did have a little tear but that is because I am a goober and cry at all his firsts!

Tater got a little antsy at the very end but overall both the kids were great and I was very proud. We hit up the arcade again and then headed home.

Here's to many more movies with my sweet boy!


such a happy moment for father and son

we know now what he really wanted to see lol

What was a changing moment in your life?

There were so many it's hard to pinpoint just one.

I would have to say that a very important changing moment in my life happened when I moved out of my parents house. This one big change spurred so many great and terrifying things to occur.

I never knew what it was like to have no family. No one to run back to who would fix all your problems. I never knew real pain until I lost my family. Of course I blamed my parents and in turn they blamed me and in some cases probably still do.

I was in my early twenties and working at Sam's Club, while going to school. One day during my shift I noticed a unusually large man trying to maneuver in a very small freezer section. I'll admit to checking him out all the while his back end was sticking out. Since I was a shy girl there was no way in hell I was going over to talk to him.

Since this is a different story I will just tell you I fell head over hills in love with this man. I would do anything to be with him. Sneak around and lie....you know what every kid does when they know their parents won't approve. Well I got caught several times and finally it came down to me having to choose between the man I loved and my family.

I am not saying that I made the best choice but I have never felt regret for choosing the way I had. There are a lot of dirty details that need not be mentioned but you can only imagine.

In making this decision, I had to grow up and fast. I was bouncing from house to house and walking to and from work a lot.

Eventually Mr Randolph and moved in with one another and the rest is just fluff!

After five years and a little Tater baking in my belly my family came around. I could not be happier to have my family back together. It's never functional and that is why it is charming.

Eaton Wedding

Last post for March! I know......

One of my old church buddies got married a while back and I decided that the Randolph's would get all gussied up and go have a good time.

The wedding was beautiful and thankfully short. We did not have to fuss at Tater too much as he was a perfect little gentleman too busy scoping out the flower girls. Thankfully just because he didn't know why he didn't get to throw fowers and they did?!?!

My mom was working her magic taking photos for the bride and groom. I found it haliarious that her shots were way better than the paid photographer! Hmmm. Lets just say the bride was not at all happy that she did not book momma in time for the wedding. She was still excited that momma did get the shots she could.

I am a camera whore so each and every time I can get free family photos out of my mom I get them! I really enjoy these shots even if we forgot that Mr. Randolph's new glasses turn into shades in the sunlight. They have such sweet smiles that I can't get enough of!

A Cherokee Legend

My boss sent me this legend last night and I absolutely loved the message. It goes for all people even you pale faces!

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy,sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, " The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."


I really hope you enjoyed that read, I did! You all are very special people to me and I thank you for helping me feed the good wolf each day!

Associate, Regulatory Supervision-update

No news is good news...right?!

Well I have no new news except that next week I should get a CALL letting me know yes or no. This whole time everything has been relayed through email and that just sucks. Even if they say no it will feel better coming from a human instead of me reading an email.

I am not nervous and I don't check the job post site 6 times a day anymore. I limited it to checking it twice a day just in case Pru has updated something. You never know!

I have been getting a lot of emails from business people in the community saying that they have received my resume from a few people. A few! Wow! I am really glad my resume is circulating out there and I am hoping that I land something huge.

This week I have two meetings. Both of these meetings are for the sole purpose of getting to know me and more about what I want to do. I am excited because this is much more casual than the ridiculous interviews that I have been a party to thus far.

I think this will be my best shot at a position mostly because if they like me then they can vouch for me and will put my name out there for careers that may not be public.

Please keep me in mind if you know of a position I might be perfect for. I can send you a resume and references.

Please.and.thankyou!

Parrain or Potato?

During one of my Mommy Taxi Service moments in March I asked Tater if he would like to call and talk to his Parrain. Of course he got really excited and if it weren't for the five point harness he might have flew out of his chair.

Clayton is usually great talking on the phone but he only last 5 seconds before he has lost interest and throws it on he floor. So instead of me handing the phone back to him I decided that we would send a text picture instead. I know I am  great mother....with all the texting and calling while driving....guilty!

I asked Tater to say cheese for Parrain and well this is what I got!

Back in March: Downtown Alive!

I am still trying to play catch-up with the months that I stopped blogging. I really don't want to miss out on these memories and I actually love to relive them. I want this blog to depict my family journey and well I just simply can't have any gaps. Now I just need to get on the ball.

Mr Randolph and I took Tater-Man to his first Downtown Alive celebration. Since my blog readers live in Louisiana or have in the past then surely you know what I am talking about. If you are not sure try out this site: http://www.downtownlafayette.org/. I really love the culture in our little city and I love sharing it with Tater. My husband is a born and raised coon-ass so he is very accustomed to the culture that surrounds him. He also is a big man and I guess it is a big man syndrome that he simply hates crowds of little average sized people around him.

With that bit of knowledge we rarely to get out to the big gatherings in our city. I did get very lucky on this Friday night because there was going to be a group of friends going and Randolph hates to disappoint. We had such a great time dancing, drinking, and listening to great music. Tater had a taste of the local cuisine and seemed to be impressed, so much that he stole my food. He also made friends that night and completely wore himself out.

After the first couple of tantrums we decided it was time to head out but before we did I begged Matthew to let me take the Tater to the water spouts. First of all Clayton hates the idea of a shower so you can just imagine how grateful he was when his lunatic of a mother wanted him to go through the 50 shooting spouts that were spraying cold water. Since he wasn't having it I gave up after I got a few cute photos.

My girl Stevi and I

Its ok mommy if we look from a distance!

Love this sweet boy

my happy family

I tried but he was not bring tricked

Rainy day blues!

My trainer thought that the best way to start my weekend would be a 5 mile run. Well considering it was an overcast this morning at 7am I am lucky. It was a very hard five miles that I was of course not ready for.

I have never been much of a water drinker in fact I pretty much hate it but for the past few weeks I have been floating with all the water I drink. Unfortunately I did not drink water yesterday and I paid for that inaction.

Moving on...my mom called me this morning at about 11am informing me that the Tater will be spending the day with her and my dad. I have learned that you don't argue with my mother so I said great and got him ready. Mr Randolph and I were not shocked when she informed us that she would drop him off tomorrow. Grandparents!

Besides that I had a busy day even though most of it was spent inside because of the yucky weather. I cleaned out our closet and got rid of a lot of junk. I love to be organized and my closet seems to be in constant chaos. I also did laundry while visiting with my Sammy.

I also got to visit with my mother in law for a long time. It was a sweet treat even if she was sad her g-babe was not here. I swear people only come to see the Tater. Lol its ok by me! We also had a nice visit with Sammy's rents and well I just love them to pieces.

Now that dinner is done, the kitchen is clean, and Randolph and my lil squatter brother are downstairs plugged into the boob tube. I can't speak because right now I am currently watching a ridiculous Hallmark movie. At least it's not the Lifetime channel!!

Well my rainy day has come to an end and I miss my Tater. He would hate what I am watching but he loves cuddling with his momma. It's good for him to be out and independent though. I just hope that he thinks about me while he is away.

Goodnight!

Another day another application..

Seems like not a day goes by where I am not surfing for careers online or running around town to put in my application.

I've gone to a few staffing agencies including a new oilfield one today. I realize that my day of availability may be an issue for a company but it also shows that I am not being lazy and am only trying to line up my possibilities.

It's been crazy these past few weeks but the best thing is that I am no longer crying! I am a woman on a mission and hope to God that he has something bigger and better in store for my family.

What would you do if you knew you were going to be laid off in November? What methods would you take to acquire a new position?

I have mailed off my resume but the cool thing to do in our time is to fill out applications online. I like and dislike this because this could make or break the interview. If you even get a call.

I don't seem to be as stressed as I was when I first found out about the company lay-off. My daily workouts seem to be beating any weakness I have out of my system. There is no other way to start the day though! I still feel like I may need to go and speak with a professional. I have a lot of anxiety and prior problems that may be good to talk about.

My boss told me that we were suppose to find out about the post for Prudential. You remember the interview I had a while back? Well I have been checking to see if they have updated the post. It still says interview scheduled?!? They are behind I guess and it is stressing my co-worker and myself out.

Well this morning there was no update still so maybe somebody got their information wrong?!?

Puddin Momma!

My mom is the owner of CBC Photography. Over time she has shocked and even brought me to tears with the great memories that she has caught.

CBC stands for Clayton, Buck, and Cheyenne. Did you expect a grandmother to come up with such a wonderful name for her business. I LOVE it, although I am not quite sure what she will do when Claire or I have another child hehe.

I am not sure of the exact month but a few back CC was entered into a beauty contest. My mom did the same for me when I was a little baby and I won some type of award but who can remember that? Well for the contest you have to create your child a portfolio and the photos below were the ones my mom put in CC's/Puddins album for review.

The beauty contest was definitely not my cup of tea and its mostly because I don't agree with how aggressive the parents get with the competition and make it a chore for the children. Thankfully I did not bump into any mothers like that at this show. This event was for the all natural beauty and really what else do you really need to do to a 6 month old to make them beautiful. They are already!

We had to bring both Tater and my nephew, Monkey. NOT COOL! These rug rats had me wanting to hang them from the rafters ended up in time out several times. I had to bribe them with cookies that I stole from the sign in table.

Well Puddin walked on stage and it was like everyone knew she was the winner. I mean duh she was the most beautiful baby there. I am not bias at all lol! All in all she placed very well and she did win in the Portfolio division. Way to go mom for taking such great shots.

Caught a big Tater Fish!

I want you to know that the men folk squatters in my house were so very proud of themselves for out smarting the Tater man. What they don't seem to realize is that he WILL be bigger than them one day! LOL

Appliances A-plentiful

I am excited to say that our washer worries are over.

After some searching and lots of help we found a great second hand washer! I couldn't be happier. I know that must sound crazy but you should see the pile of clothes I have in the laundry room. Those boys of mine go through their outfits like mr divas.

We plan to put the washer into the debt snowball even though at the end of the month it will get paid off or mostly. If we do it this way we are holding ourselves accountable and have a record of payments. Mr Randolph's father knows the seller of the washer so we feel great about the buy and the fact that it will have a one year warranty helps. The other businesses only offered 90 days.

I know this buy is not exactly what Dave Ramsey would advise us to do but we could not pass it up and hopefully it does not become an issue to pay it off. I feel confident about it but I worry over everything.

On another note our dishwasher has also been broke for a year. Sad news although we have been using it as a drying rack. This has sucked because everyone hates washing dishes in my house, even the Tater man. He and his daddy much prefer filling the dishwasher and on most occasions are happy to do it.

Along with the washer we will be unloading a dishwasher from the same man. We got it for nothing and are very thankful for this blessing.

It's amazing how much God really is watching over my family. I pray everyday that he will continue blessing our lives but I know only through trials will my family persevere.

Thanks for everything! ;-)

To use or not to use....

Our Murphy account is the question?

Unfortunately as soon as we get our Murphy fund set up something in the house breaks. Mr Randolph and I are thankful for the fact that we have the cushion just wandering if we should use it already. I mean we haven't even gotten the checks/debit cards in the mail to even use the account.

I do find that I am not freaking out about it though. You all are probably wondering if I took happy pills but that is not the case. I feel somewhat secure. I know that I will be able use someones washing machine at least until we can replace ours. I am learning to take a step back and breathe.

I realize things will break but now I know I have options. We should have extra money at the end of the month to get a new washer and I don't mind waiting that long if it means we can make a great decision on the right purchase.

We don't really want to shell out 400 dollars on a new machine. Mostly because when we move again we would like to just leave it in the condo. The washer and dryer are located up stairs and a real (pardon my French) bitch to move.

So starting today I am shouting out to my local crowd to see if they know of respectable second hand shops or someone wanting to get rid of their washer for a reasonable price.

If we don't have to use the Murphy account I will be all to happy but if we do then that is what it is there for, right?

Photobombed and a weekend recap!

The Randolph family had an awesome weekend. Of course; the house was packed with the normal squatters but they are a huge help...most of the times!

Friday, Mr Istre and I hit the movies and left my hubby and the rest of the squatters to their video games. We saw Horrible Bosses and it was amazing. It's a must see! We also tried out a new coffee shop and bumped into an old American Idol contestant.

Saturday morning I hit the gym -hard- with a friend and then home for a quick swim. You know it's not a weekend without pool time. I also love soakin.up.dem.rays! I was all to excited when the squatters and Mr Randolph came to the pool as well. Tater and I are usually by ourselves but it is a real treat when daddy can come and play. Clayton has been needing to show daddy his new swimming skills. We are quite proud of him and scared at the same time. He really has no fear of the water.

Thanks to his Nana and Papaw he has water wings and that calms me a LITTLE.

We spent Saturday night at Picantes, listening to karaoke by Rex. I laughed so hard and shook my lil booty all night. Tater got to spend the night at our friends parents house watching "carcoons" and eating "pahcorn." Overall the night was a success!

Ooooh I almost forgot to tell you that I met one of my best guy friends at a local shoe store on Friday after work. We were there to get my new running shoes. It was a late birthday gift that I can't seem to stop talking about. I felt so special and loved! Also on Saturday my girl Mishy and I went and got a facial. It was intense but I can't wait to go again!

Sunday was much more relaxed. Mr Istre and I hit the gym again then straight to the pool. Mr Randolph joined us again, and to say the least I had a huge smile on my face the while time. Tater went down for a nap and I stayed by the pool. I then headed to my neighbors house who just so happens to be a bestie to watch the last Harry Potter movie. Amazing! I can't wait for the last movie although I will be sad it is over.

For the rest of the afternoon I picked up and relaxed drove the men in the house crazy. So much fun!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Birthday America!

I want to send out a special thanks to the soldiers that still fight for my freedom. I also want to thank the soldiers that have fought and are no longer with us to be able celebrate.

Thanks to my Granfathers, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, my Lil bro and my best friends for your service to my country. I will be so proud of Tater if he decides to choose one of the branches that you guys are proud of! I have come to terms that he is surrounded by so many great soldiers that this could very well be his career path one day and Mr Randolph and I will only be proud and honor his decision.

Thanks again!

The pictures below are from our 4th of July celebration at the Wilson's.

Tater goes CAT fishin!

Tater got a new toy from Nana and Papaw and boy does he love it! Mr Randolph only had to show him how to cast a few times and we just let him loose on all the cat-fishies in the house.

I do love my boys!

Last shot...

To keep my career going with Prudential.

I found out on Wednesday that I am no longer being considered for the other 3 positions I applied for within Pru. This really cut me to the core because they never even talked to me, never gave me a shot!

I ended up crying all day and then on top of that I found out the my back up plan was no longer MY back up plan. The company is going to keep one full time OCS and btw the other two girls and myself we figured that if we ended up not getting a remote position then at least we would have a shot at keeping our current position. This is true for the Metairie girls. The company decided that the full time slot would be based out of the Parent Office that automatically counts me out. I have no desire to move down there and that is my down fall.

Anyways I am waiting to hear back from the one interview that I had on Tuesday. I am not holding my breathe since there are so may people applying.

After all this bad news and me promising myself and my family there would no more tears I have begun the search for a new career. This seems to have lit a fire under my ass and I seem to feel more confident and more in control of my life.

If I end up without a position with Pru then I will be placed on an exit plan where my last day will be in November. That is plenty of time to find another job and I have time to be picky. I think this is why I feel better. I feel like I have some sort of control and that is very important. This whole time I have had no control and I have had to watch other people, that have never met me decide my future.

Please keep me in mind and keep praying for my family. We are a little lost right now and I struggle most with letting go and putting it in Gods hands. This is where we new you...all of you! Please!
