Praying for the Finnerty Family

Breaking News Story

I grew up in a somewhat small town called Brighton. Football was HUGE. We are the home of Drew Henson (U of M football fans should know who this is). I never saw the greatness of Drew, but in my graduating class we had a boy named Cullen Finnerty. He was a darn good quarterback. He went on to play quarterback for GVSU. Over this weekend, he went missing. Tonight he was found, unfortunately dead. I can't believe it. While I wasn't close to him, I did have classes with him and remember him being a great guy. He was a genuine good guy. He has left behind a wife and two kids, the youngest who was just born in February.
My heart just breaks for his family. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

I am just shocked, not sure what to say, other than my heart is just breaking for his family. It's just so sad.

Sorry for the disjointed thoughts, I just had to get this out. I'm in just such shock.

Memorial Day

I wrote a post last year that I think sums up this day perfectly. You can read it here: Memorial Day-We will never forget to remember!




Enjoy your long weekend! Please remember the REAL reason for today as you celebrate with your family and friends.

Happy 4th Birthday Booger

L-the day he was born R-today in his new Thomas outfit.

Today is our Booger's 4th birthday! I can't believe he is 4 already! It seems like it was just yesterday that I was pregnant with him. We had our family and friends over for cake and ice cream this afternoon. He was properly spoiled.

You can read his birth story here. :)

This morning M and I were able to wake Booger up. I had put streamers in his door way. We got the kids up and ready and headed out to Denny's for breakfast/brunch. Then it was time to pick up the cake and get ready for everyone to come over. I will hopefully be able to post pictures with in the next couple of days. :) I hope everyone is having a great 3-day weekend!!!!!

Happy Birthday to my special boy! You changed my world the second you entered our lives. You were not planned, but I wouldn't change it for anything. You are the light of my life and I love you to the moon and back. I can't wait to see how you grow and the person you become. I think you will do great things.

I love you Booger!!!!!
