I told myself that 2026 would be the year I would I told myself that 2026 would be the year I would get ‘me’ back and I suppose I have been on a mission! ❤️‍🔥

I’ve had this Anberlin tattoo floating around in my brain for yearsss. Finally talked through it with a friend, shared my ideas with @alexandratattoo , and she made them all come to ✨LIFE!✨ Had the best time enjoying several hours of girl talk, good music, and tattoo therapy with her - truly it is therapy and she is the best of the best!!!

I’m not sure I could ever put into words what Anberlin’s music has meant to me over the years. If you feel that way about music in any capacity - you get it. It’s definitely one of those ‘if you know, you know’ things. My Dad was a musician and he certainly passed that feeling down to me. Love that I carry that with me! 

And now I get to carry pieces of my favorite band with me. 🖤🎶
Happy birthday to my SEVEN year old tiny bebe Cohe Happy birthday to my SEVEN year old tiny bebe Cohen! He rolled his eyes at me when I said it’s crazy that he went from 6…to 7! If you know you know. 

Cohen is so sweet, kind, helpful, and smart. He loves building hot wheels tracks, setting up play areas for his little brothers, swimming, NASCAR, baseball, and never sitting still or being quiet… ever. 😆 

I’m so thankful God chose me to be his mom! I love you Cohen!! Happy birthday!!

6. Start learning to play the guitar, again!
7. Read at least six books (that’s one book a month.)

23. BUY AN IPAD? (this is probably a dream y’all.)

raise money to fight Cholangiocarcinoma on June 9th, 2012 in Lexington, KY!**

*My cousin Garrett is doing better. You may remember me mentioning a while back that he was in a car accident. He was in a coma for many months, and is now slowly beginning to come out of it. I can’t wait to visit him in July. Hopefully by then he will be doing even better. Right now, he is starting to respond a little when people talk to him. He still can’t keep his eyes open for very long though. It breaks my heart that I haven’t been able to be there!

**I am still working on the website for my Father-in-law, PrayingForTim.com. The 5k run/walk event will be held here in Lexington, KY on June 9th of this year. If you live here and you are interested in helping or of course, walking or running, please let me know and I will get you all of the details! This is a great cause for a type of cancer (cancer of the bile duct) that is very, very hard to catch in the early stages and even more impossible to successfully treat.

      I love making lists so much. I just have trouble sticking to them sometimes! These are all fun to-dos though. 😉

      Thank you ma'am! I hope I do as well. I started a little late. I think most people make these a year out from their birthday.. I only have 6 months. =)
