Whirlwind...

Wow. Time is flying and I continue to count my blessings every day.
We had our family reuinion July 17-18 in Dunn TX. Right outside of Snyder TX. Gram's side of the family is so wonderful. I haven't seen some of them in at least 10 years and I was introduced to some. It was a joy to take Hudson and have him meet everyone. He had a blast and was center of attention the whole weekend. Cody was unable to make it because he was covering for someone on another shift. Mom Gram Hud and I headed out early Saturday morning and met up with everyone and had a great time catching up.

Sunday was a day to hit my knees and thank the good Lord for another day, my sweet precious family, another day that I was lucky enought to be alive!! I had received news that a friend of mine was involved in a horrible boat accident. I call her a friend even though we had only met once a few years ago but never have really had the chance to hang out. She was always so sweet and we had kept in touch through facebook and I occasionally saw her and her sweet family at church. She was very involved with our Step Out Walk to Fight Diabetes. She said our prayer last year. We had a split second to chat about our babies while she was registering that morning. She had brought Madden and he was bundled up in his stroller ready to stroll with his family and find a cure for diabetes. I remember hearing her voice, as everyone bowed their head and she prayed over everyone. Praying that we one day find a cure. I saw her after the walk leaving with her sweet baby boy and she waved goodbye. I saw her a few times at church and we exchanged smiles, never knowing that one day God would call her up to Heaven so soon. I know the lake she was on very well. I know that part of it its very dangerous even during the day with all the rocks it's hard to steer clear of them. My heart aches for all of those involved. What a trajic accident. All four were injured and Karah left behind so many loved ones. Every day I think about her and her family that she left behind and how her husband has to raise their baby without his mother, how a father and mother lost a daughter, friends lost a great friendship, but then I realize that God had a greater plan for her and Heaven needed another angel. I continue to pray for her family and friends and her son, that he grow up and know how very speacial his mother was.
Prayers for the Northcutt's/Brooks. <><

Holy July already!!!

Seriously? July. Who sped up time? Baby boy turned 10 months on June 30th. It's still so amazing to watch him grow and learn.

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend, despite all the rain and cloudy weather.
