Here's The Story

 Of an average lady...

(In case you are new!)

 

This is me, a 53-year-old wife and mother blessed with a wonderful, ordinary childhood. I grew up in a white house with black shutters, along with four sisters and the best parents a child could imagine. Right before I left for college, I met the new guy in town.

Four years and many long-distance phone calls later, a month after I graduated college, we were married. It was June 29, 1991. Also known as the hottest day in recent history. We moved into the cutest apartment and began our life together. Steve joined his family car business, and I began teaching 2nd grade in the little school district nearby. Five years later, I retired from one dream job to begin another. As Mommy. Madison Marie was born on November 26, 1996.

Madison is beautiful inside and out. She owns her very own bridal store and is absolutely amazing at helping each bride find the perfect dress for her special day!

Madison met her wonderful husband, Nicolas, several years ago through their YouTube channels! He is Danish, and after living in Denmark for a couple years, they currently have a lovely house not too far from us. Yay!

Peyton Rose is our second beautiful daughter. She is 22 years old and the best baker around! Peyton is also an amazing nanny who blesses many families here with her love and care.

Peyton met her awesome husband Christopher in church one weekend, and the rest is happy history. They live in a beautiful house outside of town. Also pretty close from here! Yay!

Rhett Stephen is our son who brought a touch of blue into our house of pink! He is 20 years old and the spitting image of my father. Rhett works with Steve at the dealership, and truth be told, he is giving his father a run for the title of Best Car Salesman Ever!

Rhett has the most lovely girlfriend, Kyrstin. She is sweet and kind and perfect for my boy. Rhett lives here with us, and again, Yay!

Seven years after Rhett was born, we were blessed beyond measure with our baby, Flynn Grace. I was 40 years old and was told my baby years were over. But God can do anything, and He answered our prayers for just one more! Flynn is the sweetest child, and she and I have the best time together homeschooling, watching The Walking Dead, and playing with our pups.

Kirby is our precious 14-year-old Lhasapoo. He is obsessed with Steve and tolerates everyone else. He loves American cheese and socks.

Mocha is my 7-year-old Yorkiepoo. She is attached to me at all times, and if not, she is looking for me. She loves blueberries, cheese, and any food anyone has. She is the cutest, cuddliest pup, and I adore her.

This is my beautiful mom, also known as the very best person I will ever know. She is 86 and lives very close to us in a wonderful assisted living home. She is in the middle stages of her Alzheimers journey, and we savor every moment we have! She still knows me, and I am so thankful!

We live on a lake in Pennsylvania and enjoy spending time at the beach when we can.

We also enjoy each other and spending time together. For this, I am so deeply thankful.

Well, there's the story!

I hope you enjoyed getting to know way more than you ever wanted about me and my people!

Have a cozy day!
