This weekend was AMAZING!!

It was such an exciting thing to see the support that people have for one another. Sometimes you don’t see it enough.

The Pickell family as well as my mom and I, participated in a 5K on Tybee beach in GA. Yes I did say on the beach!! It was freezing and half the time I couldn’t feel my face. But, it was so glorious to see the amount of friends and family that came to show their support for others that have been diagnosed and fighting Pancreatic Cancer as well as the love ones that have been lost.

Before we decided to do this my brother had asked me “Why people run and walk for cancer?” I couldn’t really answer him until I did it. There’s something about it that is spiritual at least for me it was. It was also about letting things go and realizing that running wasn’t about me and if I could make it or not, it was just about doing something that required nothing but peace and time for someone else.

As I was about to stop and start walking, right after I had passed the 2 mile marker. I saw a lady holding a sign around her neck honoring a brother, husband, father, who they had lost and I decided that my pain was nothing until I had walked in her shoes, and then I prayed the whole way to the end.

This is what I took home from this experience everyone experienced something different. Whether it was time with a brother just walking to the finish or a sister in-laws shoulder to cry on, or just catching up with friends and granddaughters who came out to show their support.

What this weekend did for my family was therapeutic as well as a blessing from our maker.

Fighting it

So this weekend Daniel fought the bug that was going around and loss. By Sunday he seemed to be feeling better so we took a ride on the light rail. Then I started to not feel so good myself. So we laid around the house the rest of the day and watched movies which is something we haven't done in a very long time.

I will say it was nice to have some girl time with my little one while Dan was laid up in the bed. We did what we do best shopped!!

Heres to a week of no sickness oh and to birthday week!

Happy Halloween

This is the 2nd year of celebrating Halloween at the Krause House it will be a ritual for sure.

Family gets together and we make goul-lash and jalapeño cornbread and other yummy treats. Then we trick or treat!! Lilly had so much fun but she was exhausted and so were we.

This is my favorite holiday and our neighborhood goes all out. Love it!

Anniversary

I get so caught up with Lilly that I forget sometimes about Daniel and I.
October 17th I married a honest, hard working, goof ball of a husband.
With that said, growing up is hard to do together. We have learned so much about each other. We have had our good days and our bad days, but know matter what these are the best days.



We celebrated with a date night and a New Refrigerator. This mama doesn't need diamonds.
