I thought for sure he was going to leave. How in the world could a good man like Trice stay with a woman like me who was so unsure of herself, so broken, so imperfect? A woman who had trained her mind to listen to the lies of the enemy?

6 years. Can you believe it? Looking back 6 years ago, I don’t think I ever imagined we would be where we are now at 6 years. We have an amazing son who is almost 4, our little Bean. And we have an oh so precious daughter who is almost 2, our party in a body! We have a cute little house in the heart of DFW. And we still like each other!
Thank you for all you have taught me these last 6 years.
Thank you for always making my toothbrush for me

I love how I set a goal that I would write 5 nuggets in one month..... Yet here I am, almost a year later, finally sitting down to write the 5th nugget. Hey- at least I am finishing what I set out to do, right? :)
