Thatcher's Story

I didn't want this to get lost in my list of posts, so I am creating a place so that everyone can easily access this link. Please read this touching story about baby Thatcher, our friends son who was born with a rare liver disease and is in need of a liver transplant. Jessie has worked closely with Brad for over 4 years and I became friends with her while working at WSA until I left last spring. Thatcher was born a month before Braden and this story really hits home for me. When I look at Braden I think about how incredibly lucky I am. This could just as easily be our him going through this. Jessie will most likely be the living donor for Thatcher and they are in need of our prayers! I promise you will be touched by reading this story. Thanks!

Arrington Vineyards

Last Friday we finally got go to Arrington Vineyards! I say this because I have been wanting to go for some time (it isnt too far from our house) and it took my sister in law's birthday and them planning it to get me out there. Ha! Amanda was in town for a conference and since it was her birthday weekend, her and Pete were trying to think of things to do in the area. They asked us to come along and I was super excited! It was so pretty. We got there at about 3:30 and did the wine tasting and then bought a bottle and sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. I will definitely go back this summer when it is a little warmer. We had a great time and really enjoyed the visit from An Am and Pete! Happy Birthday to An Am! I am a bad blogger and havent been staying on top of my birthdays lately.
