Remembering a Decade con't

2005-Our first son, Judson Parker was born. I adapted to two kids much better than to one. My grandfather Roc Roc died.

2006-Spoke at our Women's Retreat at church. Had a very difficult relationship with a friend, but enjoyed some sweet relationships with my Mother's Heart friends. Got to know the Weber's.

2007-Got pregnant again. Do you notice a theme? Can't remember any big details, but we loved life in Memphis and our church and great friends. Kevin began to seek other career opportunities. Spent Thanksgiving at the Weber's farm.

2008-Coley turned 4 on January 9th. Our second son, Micah Weber was born on January 18th. We moved to Atlanta in March....that is about all I remember from that year except that it sucked-moving to Atlanta with three small kids was hard. Ran another 1/2 marathon. Kevin took a job with an AWESOME company called Booster Enterprises. Our 10-12 year role with Campus Outreach ended. Papa George died. My brother Brent married Becca Simmers. This was a crazy year!

2009-Has been a much better year. We have much to celebrate. We have three wonderful and healthy kids. I began homeschooling which has been going well. We have a great church body in The Vine Community Church. We celebrated 8yrs. of marriage...not without some big bumps in the road this year. But we cling to God's grace and look forward to a new decade. Today on the final day of the year we are going to the Georgia Dome for the Chic fil A bowl with Tennessee and Va. Tech. This is a highlight because I get to share with Kevin in one of his great loves!


Happy New Year and Happy New Decade!

Continuing to Remember a Decade

This is hard. It's hard to remember what I did yesterday much less what I did 10 years ago.


2002-Was a very difficult year as I was very depressed-some of the deepest waters in my life. Ran another half marathon. Watched a lot of college football with our friends the Roth's.


2003-Got pregnant...got fat! Sang on a praise team. Met Lindsay, Megan, and Michelle. Megan became a Christian.

2004-Had Coley Grace on January, 9th 2004! Moved to Memphis, TN when she was four months old. Bought our first house. Met some of the best friends I have ever had in September of that year. Lost 35 pounds! Got pregnant again!

Remembering a Decade!

This was not my idea I'm not that clever. I've seen a few others post something similiar, BUT I thought it was a novel idea. Honestly it hadn't dawned on me that a DECADE was ending. But now that I think about it. Whew! Since the 70's get farther and farther away, I realize I'm indeed getting older.

I'll post a few times in the next few days. What were the highlights of this decade? A few things that stick out about each year....Share your too!

2000-In July of that year I met my now husband. I came home and told my mom that I had met the man I was going to marry! Made a return trip to South Africa-after having spent the summer there the previous year. Helped plan a conference for 4,000 people-possibly one of the biggest undertakings of my life! I'm still recovering.

2001-I married Kevin and moved to Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Completed a 1/2 marathon. Cleaned houses for extra money and worked as a telemarketer for oh! 2 weeks. I cried almost daily. I do not have as thick of skin as I thought! Nannie Ruby (grandmother) died.
