Christmas Minis

Last month, we did a Christmas Mini session with my friend and fantastic photographer, Mandy Owens.  It was super hot that day, and I felt a little silly having them all dressed up for Christmas, but I was so tickled when I saw the end results.  Here are a few pictures to make your spirit bright =)

Hello all!  I just wanted to stop by and share a quick update.  The babies will be 20 months on the 22nd of October.  It's unreal how fast they have grown.  They are into EVERYTHING.  My divorce was final back in July.  I am still living in Cullman, but I have a potential buyer.  Assuming they get all of their approvals through FHA, it looks like I will be moving back in with my parents pretty soon.  I'm hoping to take this time to save some money, pay off some debt and figure out what will be best for my trio and myself.  As always, I ask for your prayers.  This is a huge time of transition for all 4 of us.  I hope all is well with all of you.

Single MoM

I never in a million years would have guessed that I would be raising triplets on my own. I cannot fix my marriage. I cannot fix my husband. I will have to muster up the strength to continue to pray for him and his spirit as he crushes my heart and dreams. The divorce papers are drafted and awaiting his signature. This is a nightmare. The only things keeping me sane are God, 3 little miracles from God, and my family.

The Post I Never Wanted to Post

A while back I posted about some personal issues that I wasn't ready to talk about.  I'm not sure why, but today I feel like I need to get it off my chest. 

I realize there are some people who follow my blog that I know in real life, and I ask that you be respectful after reading this and not discuss it with anyone, and I'm not really sure how all of this will play out.  Please be vigilant in prayer for my family, and I appreciate your consideration for my privacy.

Nick and I are separated.  There, I said it.  It hurts.  It's very confusing.  It's very painful.  I don't know what to expect for my family or my marriage.  Nick and I have never had the perfect marriage, but I never expected him to leave.  I never saw it coming.  We have been apart since November, and I have so much anger and resentment about how it has impacted all of my babies "firsts."  I don't know if this seperation will end in divorce, or if we will try to find a common ground and make it work.  I do know this:  I want my children to have their family together, but I do not want to live in a marriage where I am not loved or not put above all others (aside from my children).  Being a single mom to triplets who are about to turn one isn't easy, but I have been blessed with great family and friends who help me out.  Nick will come help when I ask, but it's a pride thing on my behalf.  I don't like to call unless I have to....plus it confuses me to have him around. 

For now, I'm seeing a counselor.  It's been helpful.  I just have a hard time not know what my life has in store.  I've always known this about myself.  It's why I felt like I had such a hard time with infertility.  I can't stand not knowing. 

I will end again by asking for your prayers.
