Hey, hey. It's your birthday.

In honor of her birthday, I give you:
The Top 7 (you guessed it) Random Things About Timmarie.

1. She has vacation schizophrenia. She is definitely going to a beachy, non-beachy or rainy location for her anniversary get-away and it will definitely be in March, May, October or possibly December.

2. She and her family celebrate each birthday by having cake for breakfast. Yum.

3. She and I bonded over a deep love for a reality tv show called Starting Over.
And since this is a random post, might I add, that I could really use some Rhonda and Ayanla in my life right now...

4. We also enjoy season finale parties for our favorite shows. Tomorrow night, anyone??

5. She celebrates each quality her children exhibit and helps them grow into the fabulous little people that they are and will become.

6. She is fiercely loyal. She loves deeply and gives freely.

7. We have been accused of being humor twins. Sometimes when she and I are busting a gut, others look at us in wonder. This, of course, just makes us laugh harder.

8. She googles roller derby names.

Timmarie, Happy Birthday. I am so very grateful that I have been allowed to come alongside and travel this journey of life and motherhood with you. You have modeled for me many lessons that I am oh-so-thankful for. One that comes to mind is how to raise a Jesus-loving little girl. Thanks for always having my back and most definitely for the prayer covering. And, thanks that your home is a safe place for my kids to be just who they are (well, sorry about some of that:) We love you.

One Side of Us

I'm not sure why we're so chicken to just get our own individual blogs, but we apparently are. Or maybe now it's just that it's tradition to co-author. Either way, here we are!

Dareth and I met through church almost ten years ago. We share a common love for conversations that jump around randomly, since neither one of seems to be able to maintain a steady thought process. The two of us also find ourselves waist deep in awkward circumstances on a semi-regular basis. We realize that we are the common denominators in that equation.

I'm a sanguine-ish girl who often feels like the 'other friend' in many friendship circles. This allows me the opportunity to go to Jesus with a heart that says, "Pick me." It also keeps a girl quite humble, and sometimes a little lonely. Therapists, have at those last few sentences...

I love being a wife to Chris, and a mom to Addie and Brody. I don't always reflect this well, but I am determined to keep on asking the Lord to make me the best mom and wife that I can be. I love to laugh, bake, and love.
