Did someone say 'blizzard'??

As Iowa's under the decade's worst blizzed warning, what else would I have to do but create a new blog!! We are expected to get (over 48hrs) over 14 inches of snow! AAgghh! But I can't help when someone says 'blizzard' to raise my hand, hoping someone is talking about DQ:) Sorry, Kali...no such luck! I mean, to me, what's better than to sit in a blizzard while eating...a blizzard!

So I realize that I haven't blogged in like...almost 2 years?? Ha:) Well, no explanation, I guess. So, if New Year's Resolutions can come early..here's mine! To keep all my friends posted:) Where would one even begin to update the last 2 year's of events?? It's been fun to continually follow my friend's blogs but, for some reason, never thought to keep mine updated. So with many requests, here ya go...

DREW: He is 20 months already! What an absolute joy he has been! Some would say (aka...Pappy, MiMi) that he is 'brilliant' :) He loves to keep busy and be involved in everything...and when I say 'everything', I mean it:) We cannot believe how fast this last year has gone & that his 2nd birthday is around the corner...crazy! And we can't believe how every little thing that comes out of our mouths is very quickly repeated....hhmmm, something to keep us accountable!

MITCH: He was hired onto the City of Dubuque's Fire Department this summer! This was an amazing gift from God! Not only is it his life's passion, but it also provides wonderful family benefits with scheduling, etc!!! He works about 12-24hr shifts a month...making him a part-time daddy, too! Drew and daddy cherish their days off together! Best buds!!! Mommy doesn't ever really want to know exactly what goes on when she's at work with those two home...

ME: I am still in my master's program for nursing! This will be a long road ahead yet...although I try to be "Super-Woman", being a wife, mommy, and full-time nurse doesn't allot a ton of free time, so I will take a 'comfortable' pace at this degree. I am praying for more leadership roles on my church's worship team. I feel an ever-present 'tugging' from the Lord that He's going to greatly use me in music ministry...just waiting for God's timing to show itself!

BABY: ??? What?? Baby who?! Oh, that's right:) Baby Williams! I am expecting our second child that's due in July. We are so thrilled with the blessing of another child & daily pray for God's protection of health and happiness. Boy/Girl??...we will soon find out!!

Hopefully this has brought everyone up to speed! More to come...seriously, more will come:)


See...the dentist isn't that bad! They give away free 'be-busses'!! :)
