Hey friends!
I had a video ready to go up yesterday, but I was having some technical issues and wasn't able to get it up by 6pm. I just got it resolved so decided to just upload it now instead of waiting till 6pm tonight. Hope you enjoy! It's a nice long one! Thanks so much for your support!

Hey my sweet friends,
If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that we had a very scary day yesterday. Marion was taken by ambulance to the ER, and sent into emergency surgery. It was pretty scary there for a few hours. But praise God, it was best case scenario and he is recovering slowly. He will continue to be here in the hospital for a little while longer. We are SO GRATEFUL for all who lifted him up to the Lord. He heard and answered those prayers.🙏🏻❤️
Just wanted to let y’all know that my videos will obviously be delayed right now as I focus on Marion, and my family’s needs. But I know you all understand totally. ❤️ I have a few videos already filmed, so those will be up as soon as I have the time to edit them. Sometimes the distraction is nice when things are super crazy.😊
Anyway, love and appreciate you all so very much! ❤️

Hey my YouTube friends😀
I know it’s been a while since I posted a video. I wanted to just touch base since it’s been a while. I have been sick since the weekend with a sore throat, cold, laryngitis, etc. I do have a video filmed. Just need to edit it. Hopefully you all will enjoy it when it’s finally ready. 👏🏻😀
We are getting some crazy rain today. They even cancelled school! Supposed to be windy and flooding rains all evening. Sure wish it was all snow!❄️
Stay safe out there and I’ll have a video up as soon as I’m able to!❤️

❤️ Claire Bear ❤️ 7-21-07 - 11-22-23
Hardest. Day. Ever.
This evening we said goodbye to my precious Claire bear. She was 16 years, 4 months, and 1 day old. We got her when she was 5 weeks old. I had lost a baby due to an ectopic pregnancy right before, and baby Claire really helped to heal my broken heart. She and I bonded quickly. She’ll always be my girl.❤️
Please keep us in your prayers. Me especially. I’ve been hand and syringe feeding her for weeks and watching her round the clock. So naturally this is going to take some getting used to. Everything reminds me of her.💔
I do believe in eternal life in heaven and Gods desire to give us good gifts. I believe reuniting with our furbabies in heaven will be one of the surprises that awaits us once we get there. ❤️
We are so grateful for all your prayers, DM’s, comments, and all the love you have expressed to us in these last two months since she got sick. I believe the prayers did extend her life.❤️

Good Sunday afternoon,
I was not able to get my weekend video edited in time. I planned to have it up Saturday or Sunday. I’m so sorry, but we’ve had some unexpected things happen. Our sweet furbaby Claire Bear is nearing the end of her life. It’s been an emotional weekend for sure, but we are giving her all the love and snuggles we can until her time comes. Please keep us in your prayers. She is such a special part of our family. I know so many of you all love our furbabies and you would tell me not to worry about YouTube. Thank you for being here and for loving our family.❤️

My precious niece shared the story of her mama’s (my sister in law’s) cancer battle. She is so brave for sharing, and I wanted to post this is case anyone else is struggling today and needs hope. Go follow Katie if you don’t already. She is a strong woman of faith and her channel will definitely encourage you.❤️
