A Little About Me

My Photo
I am . . . the wife of Jeff, a mother of two, a daughter, a friend, a teacher, a student, a consoler, an advocate, a cook, a maid, a therapist, a nurse, a witness, and a sinner. My name is Tiffany, and I am the mother of 2 amazing gifts from God. My little Isabelle Hope was born 12 weeks premature in March of 2007. After a very rough start to life, Isabelle was diagnosed with having cerebral palsy. She is a constant reminder to me of God's unconditional love in my life as I share that same love with her. My little fighter Wesley was also born premature. 9 weeks before his due date Wesley was introduced to the family. He has taught me the importance of patience and trust in God as we watch him work hard to grow bigger and stronger each day. With the help of these two special, little people in my life, it is constantly revealed that Jeff and I are "Uniquely Blessed".

I'm Baaackk!

Well, it's taken me what seems like forever to take the time to post on here again. Life just seems to be happening at such a quick pace. Christmas came and went. Our family gained to new beautiful nieces - both born right before Christmas. Noelle Elizabeth a dark haired, dark eyed baby and Adrionna Noelle a little blonde beauty. Both named with my middle name and both 2 new goddaughters to keep after and love.

Then came January and getting back into the schedule of school. On top of keeping up with school and the family stuff I am looking for what God's will for my life in the job world is right now. So I spent a lot of time this past January updating my resume and sending it out to as many Lutheran school as I could to try to find a new calling for my life.

This time went by quickly and next thing we knew for any of you who live in the midwest we were hit with one massive blizzard of snow. By the time it was all said and done we had about 24 inches in one day. It took us 2 days to shovel out. I honestly think I could have stayed tucked in, stuck staying away from the realities of life, but then the plows came through and it was back to work.

So now here we are . . . the middle of February already. Jeff and I took a weekend finally (our first one in 2 years) to get away and spend some time. We took a train to Chicago and stayed with a girlfriend from my childhood and her husband for the weekend. We had a great time getting away from it all and just spending time with another couple. Unfortunately once again we had to return to reality. I was ready to get back to my kids, but not the rest of the hustle and bustle of life.

Next Monday we go in for Izzy's second hip surgery. This surgery they will have to cut through the bone to try to correct her hip. I am hoping this will ease the pain she has been experiencing lately, but am concerned it's also going to be a longer recovery than the last one seems to be taking. Only time will tell I guess.

I guess to some it all up. I'm just feeling so tired. I'm stressed. I'm confused. I'm exhausted. And I just wish life would slow down a bit so I could try to catch up and so I could make some sense of the plans the Lord has for me.

Praying that Isabelle's surgery goes well for her! You must hate to have to go through this again! And, also praying that life will slow down a little for you and that God's plans, for you, will fall into place gracefully! Love and Hugs!!!
