To my beloved husband, and very best friend Eric Wharton Author Icon
You are my greatest treasure and I love you. *Heart*


I am happily married and my life has been abundantly blessed with a wonderful loving family. My blog is about the tapestry of two lives that God has permanently woven together by His love and our journey through our many trials, triumphs, and the God-size miracles we have witnessed throughout our daily lives with our strong faith in Christ.

It’s been another very busy day around the home front. It seems I always have so much to do, and such little time to get it done in. Goodness, for a homemaker, one would think I could manage my time better. It’s crazy, but I’m not complaining, I am happy and just unorganized.

After my trip to the beauty shop earlier today, I almost didn’t recognize myself in the mirror, I’m now sporting a new darker brunette shade than what I’m used to, plus a really short haircut. *Shock* Yikes, my husband just might think he has a new wife when he sees me tonight.

We’re leaving for Mississippi tomorrow at the crack of dawn for a long weekend visit with my family. Eric and I have bravely agreed to take along our 3-year old grandson Zak with us, as some of my family members haven’t seem him in a year. God give us strength please for this 18-hour one-way trip through almost 1,200 miles.

This is the very child who recently informed us his mouth “was tired, as he had talked too much”… Little did he know that our ears were tired too from listening to his adorable pint size chatterbox voice. He talks non-stop, and the funny thing is, he makes a lot of sense he’s so smart. This ”road trip” as he calls it is going to be interesting.

The reason we’re driving instead of flying down to MS is, we’re taking some things down for their baby nursery – things like a bassinet, crib, mattress, bumper pad set, sheets, blankets, swing, stroller, high chair, and nursery monitor. Our grandbaby isn’t even due until July 17, but we want to help them get prepared now and it’s hard to do living so far apart and not seeing them very often. I can’t wait to spoil it when it gets here.*Heart*

I nearly froze to death today, as I sat outside under a pavilion in 35-degree temperatures for 30 minutes shivering inside my coat and gloves. I had taken my vehicle to the auto detail shop, and the employees hurriedly washed, waxed, and detailed it while I waited. The wind was blowing like mad. I must be insane to have done this. I am obsessed; I just can’t stand to take long road trips in a dirty vehicle. Clean truck just always rides better I say (especially when traveling this far).

We have a roof luggage carrier thingy we’ll put on the rooftop of the truck to help hold some of these items. And if you happen to see a white Trailblazer traveling on I-81 loaded down, if it looks like the those Clampet’s from Beverly Hills, it could be just us.*Laugh*

Well folks, I have suitcases, toys, movies, snacks, baby items, and lots of other things to get finished getting packed. We’ll be back early Tuesday…we hope.

Mrs. Whatsit Author Icon I’ll be calling you to see what time we can get together while we’re there.

We-e-e-ll doggies we’re off for the south to see some hill folks.

Y'all take care..
