Love Being Mommy

As a little girl I used to dream of the day that I would get to be a real mommy. I remember bringing my baby dolls to "church" with me and telling my mom to not watch me play mommy and to not listen to me either! She still laughs to this day about those silly moments of me playing house.


Today, I am living the dream that I never thought would come! In fact, I am able to do this full time and call it my full time job too. Nothing in the world satisfies my life more than being a wife to an amazing husband who knew the desire of my heart the moment he met me and being a mommy to two incredible boys! God continues to watch over me and I love the way He always reminds me that He knows all that I need before I even kneel before Him to ask and seek his calling on my life. I thought teaching would be the road in which God was calling, but all along He knew that being a mommy was my ultimate dream, and today I am forever grateful. My heart is full of love for my Father in heaven and my family.

Here are some fun pictures of my boys:

Andrew and I love playing together while Micah is taking his morning nap! We are best of buddies!

How wonderful that you are able to do what your heart desires and that God has provided a way for you to do that. Being a mommy is wonderful and you have two handsome boys to show that. God Bless,

When I first met you, I instantly knew you would be a great mom! You are one of the most caring people I have ever met. I only wish I could call this my one and only job, maybe someday!

Getting better and getting ready to go home!

Hey There! We thank all of you so much for all of your prayer support through this entire process. Go sure had His hand in this from the beginning. Anna and Micah are both doing just great. Yesterday was a hard day for Anna, She was very tired and had a hard time as the Doctors began to take her off of some of the pain meds she was not feeling good. She began to get a high temp,but that was all taken care of by early in the night and she slept great. She will be again trying to get of the IV pain meds and move to pills, if this goes well today we will be on our way home to see Drew tomorrow. Anna and I are both really loving the calm personality that God gave to little Micah as we know the high energy that Drew has waiting for us at home. We can't wait to see his little smile again and hear all of his animal noises and cars sounds. It will be so great to see the way that God grows these two boys only 17 months apart. It will be crazy and great all at the same time. Pray ...

Big Bro Twin Cities Champion/Little Sis Big Woods 1/2 Marathon Champion

My brother and I are the crazy runners in our family! We took on the Twin Cities Marathon challenge on October 7th and trained like mad to get ready for the event. We began the morning feeling great and ready to take on the challenge before us, yet not knowing only one of us would finish. Ben was taking on his first marathon and was looking forward to finishing and enjoying this wild adventure! I however have done a few of these already and was aimed to kick some butt in the process. So, different goals, but the same idea in mind-lets run the race for Christ. The race did not go as planned for me. The weather was extremely hot and humid and it totally took over my body. All I can really remember is thinking, "Wow it is really hot and I am really sweating!" With little to drink I passed out at mile 10 of the marathon! My time at that point was 1 hour 7 minutes..... on track for an amazing marathon. Truly discouraged I attempted to get back in the race to pass out AGAIN at mil...

Lately  I have been asked by many- “Now that you’ve accomplished one of your biggest goals, what’s next??” and to be honest I have been really soaking up my 2:58:01 marathon accomplishment and feeling extremely grateful my body felt so strong and healthy for that race. I will never take for granted a healthy body… many of you know my journey has included some pretty tough injuries along the way. So first, I really haven’t hurried to find a “next goal” but have sat in awe and thankfulness. All that to say I am a goal kinda girl and love a good challenge. So on Jan 1, 2024 I signed up to race the Javelina Jundred with some of my greatest running buddies! It will be my 2nd 100miler and this time will be held in Arizona (not Iowa) where it will be very hot. My goal tho will be to have a blast with running friends and finish the race- different then a road race goal….  I really love a good challenge!!  easy trail runs have started….and at the perfect time when the wild flowers...
