I hate to write a cheesy, mushy, lovey-dovey blog..... No wait actually I LOVE IT!! I married the most dashingly handsome man 6 years ago! He was my first love and I fall deeper in love everyday, or maybe I should say he has been and will always be my only love. I have never experienced a passionate love for anyone else because he has given me more than I even thought it ever was. He provides all I need and more. He cares for me in ways I never thought possible. Michael Patterson is the very epitome of a husband, he's my best friend and my partner. We haven't long been on our newest journey and we are blessed with every continued step! He is the most amazing father to my boys! Corban loves going to work with daddy and I know Logan will too. I love watching Corban pray because I know that's his daddy coming out in him! I catch him preaching to his stuffed animals sometimes or even Logan :) After a busy day of meetings, visitations, errands etc. he comes home to p...

Corban stepped out of his comfort zone & away from mommy the day he walked into K3! I was so nervous for all the changes he would be facing during the year, the biggest being a new baby brother! He exceeded my expectations & completed K3 last week. He has grown so much not only academically but also personally. I love Corban with every fiber of my being & I'm so proud of him & every accomplishment! We hope to have a fun packed Summer before venturing into a new school in the Fall!

Norma McCulough White is a very special woman.... She is a fighter, she is strong. She is a mother, she is gentle. She is compassionate & caring. Much like the rest of her family she has a heart of gold and would give you the shirt from her back even if it was all she had. I am blessed to call her family! When I met my husband, I was introduced to some of the most genuinely kind people I had ever met & now they are my family too. Norma has inspired me to be a better person, she has inspired me to look on things that truly matter and at the end of the day that's family! Norma is a name that is familiar to most people I know because for months I have asked everyone I knew to pray for her. Norma was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer sometime in February I think. I will never forget my mother in law telling me at the airport after Ashton's wedding. I never once through this remember Norma showing an ounce of fear or doubt that she wasn't going to overcome! My mother in la...

I had a fantastic Mother's Day! I know this is a bit late but I wanted to share what I talked to our church about on Sunday... Mothers are the unsung heroes of modern society. Spending hours of selfless time they devote their lives to the health and happiness of their children. -Ulysses Brave Being a mother is both tough and rewarding, it is definitely a 24/7 job! It can sometimes be hard to find the perfect balance but then again motherhood is the endless search for balance and stillness, rarely achieved. The term "super mom" is often used and I never really understood it until I became a mother and was given the super natural ability to fix dinner, start bath water, answer the phone, play a game & hug my husband all in the same moment. A Super Mom can be the good cop & the bad cop, she can pick her child's voice out of a sea of "mommy's", she is a teacher, nurse, chef, contractor & artist & if somewhere in the middle of doing all th...
