I Can’t Make this Stuff up
I haven’t been doing the best about blogging lately, but I feel this last trip needs documented. I want to look back someday and remember, but hopefully laugh too. We had a trip to Texas that we needed to take. Brandon had a business meeting and trainings. In the process of getting ready for the…

Gascho Family Reunion
This past weekend was spent with my dad’s side of the family. I can’t even articulate how much my heart needed it. Sometimes in the busyness of life, I get caught up in survival mode. I’ve always struggled with being a Martha instead of a Mary. I have a really hard time just sitting. I…

Traveling Again
Brandon has over 100 store trainings to complete over the next 6 months. The last month for us was spent doing 32 of those trainings. We were on the road 34 days and Brandon only had 2 days off during that time. The last time we hit the road for this long, my kids were…

LO Sister Conference
I had the privledge of attending the LO(live original) sister conference in West Monroe this past weekend. Sadie Robertson is the founder of LO sister ministry. I can’t tell you how much my heart needed this. The work God did in me was incredible. I came to the conference very resistantly. Not because I didn’t…

I’m sick of this crap
Last night around 9:00pm, Brielle was sitting at the dining room table eating a snack. She told me she heard something in the fireplace so I came over and listened. I told her “that’s just the wind but great job being on top of it. Better safe than sorry.” Ten minutes later I was sitting…

Before and After Coffee
I chose this title to describe my outlook on life before and after caffiene. We are currently traveling and it’s not for the weak. I know pictures make it look amazing and fun and an awesome opportunity. It is all of those things, but it doesn’t mean it’s not hard and difficult and stressful sometimes.…

What time is it?
The reason I chose this title is because we have literally no idea what time it is 90% of the time. We have driven through 3 time zones, plus we had daylight savings time. Just when I was adjusted to the new time, we had the time change. I no longer know how to adjust.…

Traveling Again
With the exception of a few small trips, we have taken a break from traveling for the last two years. There were a couple reasons. Covid was a major one. There were several unknowns and scares with that. Another reason was a very stressful season of house construction. Our house has been under construction for…

Maw Jo
The last two weeks have been some of the hardest weeks our family has ever walked through. I don’t always know how to put my thoughts into words, other than to blog or journal. So here is my attempt to express my thoughts and emotions. Brandon’s grandma(his mom’s mom), Joann Walker has been a huge…

Papaw Bill
I don’t know which is worse….an expected death or an unexpected death. Preparing to lose a loved one would be awful. But not having any time to prepare is also very hard. Last week my father in law passed away very unexpectedly. While we had just heard about his stage 4 pancreatic cancer that also…
