Mother's Day was definitely different this year considering I am actually a mom (say what?!). Jayden may not be here but he is definitely alive and active and a little man forming and growing in the womb daily and the Lord has granted us the gift of entrusting Rance and I as his mom and dad while on earth.
Since I have not been with my own mom on Mother's Day since I moved to Robbinsville, it seems to look different each year but this year was a super fun time bonding with our teammates here who we not only consider our best friends but our family too. After a lovely Sunday morning at church and Ben preaching a phenomenal message for Mother's Day - Rance and I along with all the Thacker's headed out for lunch and an afternoon on the river! The day was gorgeous and the time was so relaxing and well spent.

On another fun note, Rance spent a lot of time making me a couple of homemade Mother's Day gifts. For me personally, this speaks to my heart BEST. I'm not big on fancy jewelry or diamonds - but I'll show you what I am a fan of...
My very OWN hiking stick - he made it from start to finish - carved it, stained it, and all - with the gospel and my name on it! Know what is even better? It didn't cost a thing but had a lot of heart and time and thoughtfulness behind it. Hiking is something we LOVE to do as a family so this will be a MUCH used gift...
