This has been a huge year for Bailey, my eldest child.  On the 27th of February she will be turning 9 years old, and with that has come a huge transformation.  She’s becoming a young lady, discovering her identity, her style, her likes/dislikes, her strengths and weaknesses and her walk with God.  She’s finding a […]

HOW THEY MET: With a close friendship of about 7 years, Marilyn and I occasionally have coffee together, go out to eat, go to prayer meetings or chat at Summit where she works.  In those times when we pray or chat, she always talks about her husband – the one she hasn’t met yet but […]

When my husband & I moved into our home in 2014, we had no idea that we were gaining a new family as well.

I’m so excited to introduce you to the Villareal Family!  Three couples.  Three beautiful children. Ten individuals wanting some lifetime memories for their walls.  It was a beautiful Fall day and a perfect way to kick off November in 2017! I parked around back near the childcare section at AHUMC, so all I could hear […]
