01.08.12 We had a "surprise" going away party for Wes. He found out about the surprise part but was still so excited to see everyone. It was an emotional time, but we are all so proud of him for what he is doing. He is on the world race and sharing Jesus with people all over the world. 11 countries in 11 months. Check out his blog http://wesleyvickers.theworldrace.org/

Well that is the update of 2012 so far. I am super excited about having a blog and being able to share some of my life on here. I'm not a good speller and I have never been good at grammar so just know when you are reading, it wont be perfect and error less lol(that is for all my teacher friends and my husband who is a great speller)!

The First of Many

This is the first of many blogs to come, but with this being the first I have to update you on my life so far! Well maybe not my whole life seeing as how that would be a book, but some of the highlights.

I married Kyle Edenfield on October 11, 2008 and we have been learning and growing since then. One thing we know and practice is that Love is a Choice, we choose to love each other everyday. It's not always easy and we are no where near perfect, but by the grace of God we are committing to grow and love each other everyday.

Some highlights from the wedding: Kyle wrote a song and sang to me at our wedding and also the fire alarm we off!


The other part of our family is Miss Lyla Rose who was born September 12, 2011. We learn so much from her and are so honored that God has given us this opportunity to pour into and raise up this little girl into a Godly woman.
 Our Families:
The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck
