Timmarie: Full time wife to Chris and mom to Addison and Brody. Loves gaudy jewelry, traveling, coffee, winter clothes, ice cream, and classic hip hop. Hates pharasitical behavior, especially in herself. Plans imaginary vacations.
Chris: Loving husband to Timmarie. Fierce father to Addie and Brody. Loves Jesus, MMA fighting, Diet Coke and a good card game. His heart can be found in a pile of mush when holding Koleson or any other baby. He is also known as Addison's hero or Brody's wrestling partner.
Addison: 7 year old Jesus freak with more attitude than one could ever prepare for. She loves making up dances and teaching them to Alivia, asking for a sister, and second grade. This girl will mother anyone and anything. She also enjoys wearing mismatched earrings and did I mention asking for a sister?
Brody: 5 year old autistic phenom. Or at least we think so. He loves Disneyland, coffee, phonograms, animals, and the computer. He also enjoys taking everything you could possibly google about autism and blowing it right out of the water. Most endearing, he likes to cause trouble and then smile and hug his way out of it. 
While I have not taken for granted the time I get with my children, I have a new appreciation for the day to day things that I get to experience. The intricate parts of their personalities that I get to be privy to just because I spend so much time with them.
I am looking for a new job. One that will take me away from my children more, but will actually pay the ever-increasing bills. I know it is a necessity at this time of my life. I have a good child care plan. It's going to be ok.
But, I am heartbroken.
Dareth. I am a girl journeying through this life trying to enjoy as many moments as possible. I desire to please God with my life on this earth while looking forward to heaven. I hope to enjoy as many vacations as possible along the way.
Oh Dareth! I totally know how you feel about the fortune we have just by being our kids parents. It is so teat to be able to watch them as they do their thing. I can understand feeling different about having to work away from them. The good thing is that you have had all this time with them up until now. I hope that you can find something that will fit your needs. I'm sure you will be great at whatever it is.
