Poppy

Poppy My poppy, i could talk to y’all about him for hours. He was sweet, gentle, stern, kind and so funny. He loved to dance, make jokes, even when we left for hospice he told me to go get his teeth bc he may need to bite somebody lol he never met a stranger. He was the only person that I know who could master eating a hot dog wienee & steak without his teeth in. He loved his family and treasured us more than anything. Most of you know him as the Willis or Jimmy. To us he was our poppy/dandy. Our beloved husband, father, grandpa & great grandpa.He had a nickname for so many of you. The more kids I had he couldn’t keep the names straight so it was the big one, the little one & squirt. My brother and I were so lucky and blessed to grow up down the street from Mimi and poppy. We tore up that rode riding our bikes, rollerblading & running over there almost every single day. Drinking coffee milk on the porch swing, racing in the yard, making them watch the old school Batman movie 8…

Good Bones

June is my favorite month, because it’s our anniversary month. I always look forward to walking down memory lane with my husband and reliving one of the best days. We are coming up on year 13… absolutely insane that it has already been that long. I have always said marriage is hard and it has its challenges but it is not that hard when you are married to the right person. We have had our struggle years, and I can vividly remember when I sat in our bedroom and thought I don’t know if we are going to make it. That’s when I turned to God and dug deeper into His word and I pulled closer to my husband. Recently I have started Holly Furtick’s online Bible study, Becoming Mrs. Betterhalf, and I have enjoyed it so much. There is always something we can be improving on in our relationships, ALWAYS, and that is what marriage is, it is work. I want to be the best version of myself for Adam and our family. I remember hearing someone before we had our girls say that we, Adam and I, come before…
