I have no idea who I am without my husband, who made me who I was, and I will never be the same girl I was before the day he diedNow, I'm trying to figure out life on my own, and find myself in the process. Nothing about me is spectacular, but the people in my life make me pretty special. My kids are my life and the only thing that keeps me going most days.

I like to dabble, as I am not especially talented in any one area. I like to sing, decorate, scrapbook, find great deals, teach, and play with my beautiful children. 

The Princess

My beautiful first born and love of my life, she is a firecracker who never quits! Full of energy, love, and quick-as-a-whip. Faith is a girly girl through and through. She loves to sing (especially when she thinks no one is listening), wearing dresses and skirts, playing dress up, and taking care of her little brothers. She misses wrestling with Daddy and his tickly beard.

The Prince

This is the dude and the stealer of my heart. His hugs linger in my skin and his smile cures all ailments. He is a fire engine red-head with a matching temper that is totally offset by his cuddles, incredible giggle, and hearing him tell me he loves me 100x a day. The dude is absolutely obsessed with all things 'Cars' and he hopes that he and Daddy get to play cars together in Heaven.

The Peanut

The newest little man, Carter is already loved by so many, including his Daddy, who was so excited to meet him. Even though his Daddy will never get to hold him, it is my mission in life to make sure he will know the incredible man his Daddy was and to make him an everyday presence in our lives.


Mr. King

This is the love of my life, who was taken from me far too soon. My best friend, and God's most precious gift to me is now my angel. I admired so much about this man, he made me stronger. He loved his family fiercely and I have never been more proud of anything than being his wife. The hubs loved to hunt, fish, play video games (all the things I hate - opposites attract right?)

I may never understand why God allowed my husband to be taken from this earth with so much still left to do, but one day, when I figure out how to put one foot in front of another, it's my goal to make him proud and live a life worthy of his Queen.

"It wasn't long enough together, 
but it was long enough to last forever"

Your story breaks my heart, but I hope you know how inspired I am by your strength through this. I don't know if you are a reader, but you might consider reading "Let's Roll" by Lisa Beamer. She talks a lot about raising children after the loss of her husband, so I thought you might find some common ground. Your family is in my prayers.
