10th wedding anniversary ๐ŸŽ‰part 1

A very special year 2023 has been for us. We returned from Grenada in January.๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ

First book signing for Little Timothy Faith in February and we also celebrated Deon’s 38th birthday ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‚

Gave money to the IRS in March ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜ก

I wanted to get a divorce in April ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Other drama and life issues and changes

Continued marital counseling or couples therapy in June and July โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

Celebrated my 36th birthday in July ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‡๐Ÿ’I also did a 40 day prayer challenge ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพby zoom every morning.

Prayed through August to prepare for school and guests, plan for anniversary ๐ŸŽ‰

And then came September we will always remember. Started off sweet with a visit from my best friend Cheoma from high school with her husband from Massachusetts. We had fun at the ice cream museum ๐Ÿ˜ and played games at punch bowl social ๐ŸŽŠ

Then as soon as they left, my mom came to visit from Grenada. Deon cut off spectrum TV so streaming was entertainment while he worked and used our only vehicle so mommy, Timothy and I stayed house bound. We laughed at Amen and in between resting, we started little homeschool activities from his big curriculum book and bonded with his grandma.

The day before I wanted to restart structured homeschooling, on Sunday September 10th, I lost our baby.

On September 10th I miscarried sitting on our toilet! ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญโค๏ธ

Much to share in a separate post or my memoir which I already entitled My Miraculous Miscarriage…so glad that my mommy was here! God is good and a keeper and He works all the details of our lives, the good and the messy, the painful and the parties — all of it– for our ๐Ÿ˜Š good!

But we ended September giving praise in a whole new way for life and family ๐Ÿ’– and had a sweet time again at the museum of Icecream ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ˜this time with Grandma T ๐Ÿ’™

Then came October. To say goodbye to Gramma T, my mommy. To grieve. To begin healing…to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰โค๏ธโค๏ธ

My husband took us to Atlantis Bahamas and it was nothing short of AMAZING!
