Hey everyone, please say an extra prayer for Maralee today. The doctor has informed us that she is going to be transported to Children's Hospital in Birmingham. I will follow up later with all the details once I actually know them myself. In the meantime, please pray for her safety as she travels as well as her safety through the procedure once she arrives. Thank you.

Burp cloths are a great gift to make for a baby shower. Moms always need plenty of burp cloths and you can design one for any occasion.

God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. Have you ever wondered if we’re missing it? It’s crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love.

These are a few of my favorite things.

We are created by a great God to do great works. He invites us to outlive our lives, not just in heaven, but here on earth. Let's live our lives in such a way that the world will be glad we did.

We are not meant to face life's struggles alone. Regardless of the situation, there is one thing that we can always provide for each other - prayer.

Eat, Pray, Love the movie was a great adaptation of the book written by Elizabeth Gilbert. It tells a story about a woman that leaves her New York City lifestyle to travel around the globe to Italy, India, and Bali in search of everything.

Memorizing scripture has always been a goal of mine. Having verses on the tip of my tongue can help me in all situations of my daily life such as driving my car, talking to a friend, or even calming me down when frustrations occur..

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his love endures forever" -Psalm 106:1
Happy Friday everyone! Today, our girls are one month old!!!!! This morning, as I sat outside, I reveled in the thought that the girls were born exactly one month ago today. I reflected upon this past month - the happiness, sadness, fear, love - all emotions that I have felt and I thanked God for where we are in life. It has certainly been a roller coaster of a month and we...

Almost ten years ago, my sweet husband began to knock me off my feet. We started dating my senior year of high school and the whole year we wondered if we would be able to continue dating when I went off to college and he stayed in Dothan to start his final year of high school. That year, he truly did everything he could to convince me that it was possible for us to continue dating in a long distance relationship. One night, about this time of the year,...

"Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting" -Psalm 126:5
Oh, my goodness, I have the greatest news to share! This weekend was the best it has been in a very long time. On Saturday, the girls' nurse called and told us to make sure we brought our camera with us when we came to visit. She wouldn't tell us why so I was itching to get over to the hospital. I tried not to get too excited or think too much about what it is we would need our...

Hey Friends,
We just wanted to post some pictures for you all to see how big two pounds really is. The pictures don't really do their size justice but it is neat to see the proportions. Also, below we have some links to older blog posts that will get you up to speed on our family and faith in Christ. Thank you again for praying for our little girls!

Beep. Beep. BEEEEEP!!!!!
Last night, those were the continuing sounds that I heard from the machines keeping our girls alive as we visited with them in the NICU. As we walked into the nursery, we noticed that Adeline had been moved into the same room as Maralee because she too had developed a staff infection. We hate it that her little body has to fight yet another infection but I am beginning to realize that if one of our girls gets sick than the other is likely to follow. We began to put on the lovely yellow robe and blue plastic gloves when all of a sudden her machine starts blinking red like our emergency car flashers. Raleigh and I take a seat outside of her...

Today, I have chosen to trade my sorrows for joy. Today is not going to be a day filled with sadness and despair but it is going to be a day filled with hope and strength. I am choosing to have a positive attitude and to not dwell in the negative. I am choosing life instead of death. You want to know why? I will tell you why.
Today is the day that the Lord has made, so I am going to REJOICE and be GLAD in it!
Today my little girls are 19 days...

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. -Hebrews 12:1Saturday, Christen and I decided we needed to get out and soak up some sun to help relax ourselves. We were getting ready to go to the Montgomery beach aka the YMCA, and I happened to check the mail before we left. Right there on top was a letter from my old friend the National Council of the Architectural Registration Board. Let me provide you with a little background information- NCARB is notorious for taking their precious time when it comes to grading tests. Two months...

The weather is warm, school is coming to a close, and the jasmine is blooming through our neighborhoods. This is the time of the year that we all look forward to...summer. Time for vacations, time to relax, and time for us to rejuvenate our souls. Typically, our summers are filled with weekend trips to the beach where we lay out all day and enjoy the delicious seafood by night. We ride in the boat with the wind whipping through our hair and we soak up the glorious sunshine...

I just wanted to take a moment to let you all know how grateful and blessed christen and I truly are to be surrounded by such amazing people. I know most 'older generations' don't understand what is so amazing about tweeting and posting on other peoples walls - I confess I often wonder these things too. But in this particular moment of my life I have seen how the Lord will stop at no means to reach out to his children and that includes the Internet. As I sat in the hospital those first two nights finding it ridiculously hard to sleep, it wasn't because of the awful cot - let's just say my mind was a little active. I decided to check Facebook and see if word had gotten out yet. To say...

Today has been an interesting day. It seems that the Price house is a little on edge right now. Yesterday, our neighbor's house was broken into. Robberies can happen in any city but it really makes you aware of your surroundings when it happens in your neighborhood. What makes it scary is I was home alone when it happened yet had no clue until Raleigh's mom came home and she saw our neighbor. Today, Mrs. Price and I decided to go out to eat...

So, I wasn't quite sure how I would be feeling for my very first Mother's Day. Of course, I was extremely grateful to be celebrating this holiday for the first time, but I wasn't sure if emotionally I would be able to hold myself together. I can officially say that I had a wonderful Mother's Day and that once again the Lord showed me his grace and love.
To start the day off, Raleigh fixed me breakfast in bed. We had yummy cinnamon rolls (these have become...

So, Wednesday night Raleigh and I headed to the hospital to see our sweet baby girls. On the way, he played his new Hillsong c.d. and immediately I started to cry when the song "You Hold Me Now" started playing . Earlier that day, I had visited the girls with both of our moms and I got a little sad. They are still too little to hold and Raleigh's mom mentioned that she knew she was "Gabby" but she just wanted to hold her grand babies so bad. It was so hard...

Last Thursday began pretty similar to any other day. My parents were in town for business so my mom and I spent the day together. We ate a tasty lunch at Jason's Deli and went antique shopping that afternoon. I scored two great bookshelves and only paid $60 for both. We came home and all ate salad and spaghetti at the dinner table as a family. Little did I know that in less than 12 hours I would be in labor delivering our precious baby girls...
