• Loss…

  A year ago tomorrow still seems all too vivid. Getting the phone call that said a decision had been made by my Aunt. She was ready to go home… to be with the Lord. After fighting a good fight she stepped back in order to let God do His will. The toll on this decision…

• Time For the Dentist Again!

  A few weeks ago I mentioned my worst encounter with having to go to the dentist. Today was the exact opposite. Although, I didn’t have my appointment marked into my phone. Sometimes I take photos of my appointment card, but I missed doing that this last time. Usually Ms. Brittany calls me a week before…

• Family Friends

  Last week we found out about a death. One of my Mom’s brothers told us once he found out about it. It wasn’t a surprise and yet it is still bittersweet. Both sides of my family know him and his very large family. There are so many times nestled in my memory seeing him and…

• 2024 State Fair

  There have been a handful or less years where our family has not gone annually to the Great Fair. It has always been a staple for the Alsman Family since before I was born. There was just no question we were going to the Fair each year. Of course, most of us also were in…

• A Busy Week

  Goodness! Besides keeping busy with some cleaning and reorganizing a project has also been forefront on my mind. The tractor is coming together nicely. What’s funny is that these tractors are more intricate than even the planes I have made. This is why they are so special to make for my loved ones. The time…

• Listening To God’s Calling!

  Just a couple of hours ago I got a memory notification from Facebook. It was notifying me of my post from a year ago today. My photos were accompanied by a brief message about being in the ER due to the accident from 3 days earlier on August 1st of last year. Talk about a…

• The End of A Chapter

  Today is the end of a very long closing process. My Dad made his trip to the garden a couple of times to get all of the goodies he could that needed to be picked today. Before they headed off to meet with the buyers and his sisters as well as Grandma to sign paperwork,…

• Life Is Crazy

  Since the attempted assassination two weeks ago politics have gotten just as crazy. Sunday was inevitable, but not a surprise. Yet the message was clear something was happening behind the scenes to make such a sudden change. Summers always go too fast. Time with my niece is still too short, but moments we cherish. The…

• 2 Years…

  Since I turned 30 my life has changed drastically. I remember thinking in my 20’s listening to others about surgeries how amazing it was I had not needed one up to that point in my life. Yeah I guess I should have knocked on wood, first. Literally every 2 years something has happened from my…

• A Morning of Surprises

  Grandma didn’t know about my solo before she got to church. It’s just how it happened not that I was keeping it a secret from her. I didn’t even know before Friday we would be ready for a performance this morning. So I knew it would be a good surprise for her. Then my Mom…
