I knew it!!!

I knew that I was going to miss eating
lunch with these two everyday....................
Even if they liked sitting up at the bar
without mommy sometimes;)
Thank Goodness I still have this
little love bug as my lunch
date each day!!!!!!!!
"Sometimes", said Pooh,
"the smallest things take up the
most room in your heart."

My Dream...

Last night, I had the most real dream. 
Travis, Garrett and Troy were all over at Lynna's.
Travis was sitting in his recliner,
and I had just come into the room.
Troy and Garrett told me to look over at
Travis.  He had the biggest grin on his face. 
Then they told me to notice how he
didn't have his Dynavox or his letters out.
 All of the sudden,
in his REAL voice............
I hear this, "Hey"...and then Trav's
laughter...his real LIVE laughter.
Travis.Could.Talk.

The dream was so real and I didn't
want it to end.  I could not wait to
call Lynna and tell her, but I didn't
want to stop talking with Travis.
I can't even recall what all he was 
saying...it was just that he was talking
in his voice that I haven't heard in
almost fifteen months.
He was so Travis. 

  I woke up thinking how I still
couldn't wait to call Lynna.......
:(

This dream recharged me and I immediately
knew I just need to pray that much
harder and BELIEVE despite
what we are told and despite
how hard Travis is working to talk
and eat ~ with no results.

Through the course of the day,
I couldn't fight back the tears though.
The longing and the sadness just
set in and I truly thought
my heart was going to burst.
I desperately want Travis to
talk again.  And eat again.
And walk again.
And be himself again.
I.LONG.FOR.IT.FOR.HIM.
and selfishly for me, too. 
Jesus said to him,
"If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."
Mark 9:23

Maybe this dream was a sign from God
for me to believe more...
I don't know.
But I do know that I'm going to
take it as that, and
remind myself how very THANKFUL
I am that Travis IS here with us...
talking or not talking
and allow my faith and my belief
to be recharged. 

MY BOLD PRAYERS ARE
RENEWED TODAY!!!

I love you, Travis:)
And I hope we can "talk" again
really soon...

College Station, Texas

May God Bless Texas.
May God Bless Texas A&M.
AND, most of all....
May God bless my Aggie BOYS!!!
We have been taking Walker's picture just like
this in front of Kyle Field for several
years now.  Hard to believe I have to use
the word "SEVERAL"!!!!!!!!!! ;(
But thank Goodness we are getting to
start all over with our newest little Aggie boy!!!
I bet it won't seem like too long
until we have "several" of this guy
in front of Kyle Field, too!  ;(
Hudson at 18 months...
Walker is almost nine in these pictures. 
Hard to believe...NINE years of loving some
Texas A&M Aggies that's FOR SURE!!!

Handsome like his Daddy.
Die hard Aggie like his Daddy.
With Jr. following in their footsteps;))) 
Sister?  Not so sure.
I'm thinking she just might be "undecided"...
perhaps mommy's Baylor roots
are causing her to sway.  I'm sure
 the Aggie blood will prevail though!  ha ha!
We always have a good time on
our Aggie Land visits...and according to
Daddy, the sky is the limit
when we visit the bookstore!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hudson fits in quite well
in College Station;)
Walker says that he bleeds maroon...
and I really think he does!!!
LOVE me some tight fittin' Aggie garb
on my man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I pray Walker & Hudson really do get to
walk all over this campus one
day as Texas A&M students!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Haddie...well, she can go to
A&M or Baylor! ;)))
Kidding, Daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A&M allllllllllllll the way!
In all honesty, Baylor really does
hold a big chunk of my heart!
Those four years spent there are just
incomparable to any other time in my
life...I had SO much fun and
met my very, very best friends (the NaNa's)
 that I will keep forever.  It was just
four truly special years in my life.
BUT....................there IS something
about Texas A&M....just that
unspeakable something
Or maybe it's just the fact that I
LOVE me some good 'ole boys.....
and you can't find better good 'ole
boys than at Texas A&M.
I KNOW.....
because I got the very BEST one there is!!!
