Erich and Mallory have been in Italy for a week on their honeymoon and are on their way to our house tonight to pick up their puppy Hugo!!
They are planning to arrive here about 4 a.m., wake us up so we can watch them open their wedding gifts, and then go to sleep until noonish so that they can drive back to Nashville tomorrow afternoon. Erich has to be back at work on Wednesday, and I’m pretty sure he is A LOT of 12-hour shifts ahead of him (in a row) to make up for missed days and to pay for their fun trip!! 🙂
I can’t wait to hug them!!! It was so good to hear their voices on the phone tonight! They sounded so happy!
I’ll add pictures from their trip soon!
Much love,

In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!

Wonderful news. You all have a glorious and blessed time. I will pray for safe travels. Eruch needs to be able to get some sound sleep when he is able.
