Welcome to my Memoirs!
I am a daughter, sister, wife, mommy, auntie and friend. I love Jesus Christ with all my heart and am striving to grow deeper in my faith. I have spent the last seventeen years of my life doing what I love best. Being a mommy! We have homeschooled since the age of four and are smack dab in the middle of our Senior year.
I have alot (ALOT) of mixed feelings that this season of my life is nearly over. I am looking forward with hopeful anticipation to the next season which I am beginning to peek at through the fog that is covering my eyes.
I married my best friend and we have been married 24.75 years. We met when we were very young in Sunday school. We grew up together in church with a wonderful youth program and in the spring of our Junior year in high school my husband tossed a paper at me and asked me if I would like to go. Of course, I said yes and he has become much more romantic over the years. Our first date was a Christian Rock concert...we, I am proud to say have been together ever since.
After dating for five years we said our vows in the month of March and began our happy life together. After eight years of infertility we were finally blessed to become the parents of a most precious baby girl. Born in mid summer of the year we turned thirty. We exhaustively tried to fill our quiver with more children but the Lord has had other plans for us. He wanted us all to be "only's" only husband, only wife and only child (except for the little one awaiting us in heaven). This is something we came up with one day...we kinda like it and it is what makes us so special.
So...that brings me to today. I am in transition from one season of life to another. My mommy days are about over...but I know my mothering days are not. I am not new to blogging. To read more about me you can see my other blog at Homeschool Blogger. Keeping it Simple
If you can stand it...visit me often, I can promise what each week will bring lots of rambling for sure, some tears and some laughs. All while I thank my many, many blessings.
Hey Joyce! I love your new blog!! This is beautiful. I created a blog on here so I could comment on yours. But, I need a cute template.

Thanks, I am so glad that you are here too. It seems that most of the blogs I follow are on blogger...so I thought I'd give it a try too. There are some really pretty layouts out there. Brittany hasn't worked with layouts on Blogger yet so instead of waiting for her I found this one. I can change it easily whenever I want. See the tab on the upper left corner of my blog? Scrapin Blogs? Click on it and it will take you to the site where you can get this. They have step by step instructions on how to do it and it was really easy. If you need my help I could do it for you when you find one you like. There is another one too. http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/ (this is the link to that one. Within both of these they have a ton that you might like. You can change them often and you won't loose your content. I can't wait to see what you pick. I love the name of your blog too!

Wonderful introduction, Joyce. We have a lot in common. 6 years of infertility for us before our daughter came along. She just turned 22. Couldn't get pregnant, then when we were settled with the fact that we, too, were going to be Only's our other little miracle came along. She's 8. I homeschooled Chels throughout and the Sept. after she graduated Grace began her homeschooling. It's been a fun ride and I'm so thankful for the opportunity to raise Godly young ladies. I wouldn't trade how the Lord directed our lives for anything.
