So my mom and I are heading out in several hours to Kansas to surprise Sadie (Steve's oldest) for her birthday (which was LAST weekend, so it WILL be a surprise!) I really would have loved to go on her actual birthday, but it was my weekend to work, so we're going now. When I called her on her birthday, she answered the phone (knowing it was me of course, through the power of caller ID) "This is Sadie speaking on the telephone..." and when I asked how she was, she replied, "I'm SEVEN!" Such a spunky kid!
So my mom and I had tickets in January just after Ruby was born, but my mom felt an intense need to paint her hallway at 10:30 two nights before we were to leave and fell off her ladder, breaking ribs and spending the night in the ER! I felt so sorry for my sweet little mama--she couldn't go see her new grandbaby! Instead of spending two weeks snuggling the kiddies, she spent it in agony every time she tried to take a breath! It was horrible. So this time, I made her promise to stay off ladders of any kind in the preceding two weeks before our journey :) And I think we're golden for takeoff!
I can't wait for all the stolen kisses, sticky hands and chunky cheeks that await us!

About Me
- Melanie & David
- I am daughter, sister, friend, counselor, coworker, niece, caretaker, and world-famous aunt (well, maybe not yet, but someday I will be!) And in September I added wife and stepmother to my titles....I'm loving these new ones! In October 2011 I became a mom to an angel baby, Mercy Faith, whose wings took her straight back to heaven. November 2012 we had the unparalleled joy of becoming the parents to our sweet baby girl, Journey Rose, who has added love, joy and amazement to our lives! I try every day to be kinder, stand higher, love deeper, laugh harder and dream bigger than the day before. One of my favorite sayings is "Women who behave rarely make history". So with that in mind, I do my best to BE, STAND, LOVE, LAUGH and DREAM with a mischievious smile on my face and a wink in my eye! I love my life...in short, it's everything I never knew I always wanted...
