I know I have been very quiet on here lately but life has been insane. I have yet to be able to stop even since the wedding with sweet Emery being sick and making it to grandbaby activities. Over the next few days I will be taking the time to share some of the gorgeous photography done by Kiesha Russell, stunning flowers done by Kim Whitman, hair and makeup done by Chris Farrah Nunn, beautiful cake done by Sandra Allen, and acknowledging tons of others this would not have been possible without…
But for tonight I just wanted to share these. As you can see, there were many tears shed. Not because I was sad about the marriage. Not because I don’t approve of and love Cullin Daigle (bc I do, just don’t tell him that! 😂) but because it was the ending to one chapter and a beginning to another.
While I know Sophi Daigle (thankfully) isn’t moving far off, it’s still change. I have been honored to have the privilege of being Sophi’s mom. God truly blessed me with her. She is humble, strong, loving, selfless, and above all, a true Woman of God whose faith is something I truly admire! I honestly have no idea how she turned out to be so amazing bc it was most definitely not because of me!
Watching our girls grow up and become independent young women one by one is both a joy and heart wrenching at the same time! Knowing I am down to just one left to finish raising hurts. Not gonna lie, empty nest is terrifying to me! I was a mama before I was ever a wife. I spent my entire life raising them. So once that last one flies the nest I’m afraid I will be lost. I don’t know who I am without them but just like everything else in life, seasons change and this was Gods design.
Gods design is that we raise the children He loans to us and to raise them to know how to stand on their own 2 feet. To be able to be good wives and good mothers if that’s God’s plan for their lives. But most importantly to be true women of God who show the love of Christ. Letting go is hard but that’s the plan and God’s plan is always perfect. So now instead of leading, guiding, and teaching, I’m now here to cheer them on and support the decisions they make. It’s beautiful even tho it is hard.
I have failed so many times but somehow, have raised some amazing young women I am beyond proud of! Now , even tho we never had any sons, God has blessed us with some amazing son in laws who we love dearly and even brought bonus sons (and daughters) into our lives that we are blessed to have a small Part in their lives. And we aren’t even gonna start on these grandbabies God has gifted us with because we would be here all night! Love my babies!!!!!
Jaylan Jones is the strongest bravest mama I know! She is a fierce protector of the most beautiful little girl! Aubri Elizabeth Martin is the absolute best boy mom around. She is also an amazing wife! Watching her with these sweet grandboys of mine makes me so proud. Now I get to watch my precious Sophi step into her role of wife which I have no doubt she will be amazing at with her gentle caring nature, amazing cooking, and selfless personality. One day I know she will be an amazing mama. Emma is my last one in the nest and I plan to take full advantage of every moment I have left with her at home.
Just wanted to take a moment to say how thankful I was to each and everyone that was apart of my girls Big day! (And apologize ahead of time for the tons of pictures and feelings I will share on the coming days to weeks)This sweet girl of mine definitely deserved it! It’s rare to see girls these days that wait for the one God has for them, but this girl did! She never dated around. She prayed and she waited! I remember when she told me she knew Cullin was the one! Not gonna lie, I even asked her probably more than once if she was sure. (Nothing against you cullin I just wanted to know she was certain ) She would tell me, yes! This is what God told me. Who was I to question what God told her about her life!?! So I simply said ok! If God told you, then I know he is the one. I am so very very proud of you my sweet girl! I love you with all my heart! I can’t wait to watch the life you and cullin build together. To watch you grow in love and God willing in a few years get to spoil them babies I pray God blesses yall with!! We love you both! Know we are always here and will always be your biggest supporters…. Cheering you on and here to encourage you when life is hard! Keep God first like you have always done and He will lead you into the path He has for you and no doubt it will be something special!
