God's Magnificence








On June 11th the most amazing babies were put on this earth, Kaylan Grace and Dylan Cash. Dylan weighed 3 lbs 3 oz and Kaylan came in at a whopping 1 lb 2 oz. Yes, that's a grand total of 4 lbs for 2 babies.... that's unheard of right?? NOT WITH GOD IT'S NOT!!!! Mark 10:27 has always been one of my favorite scriptures and it says, "All things are possible with God." That is completely true and Dylan and Kaylan would be Exhibit A of this verse.

I would call Landon and Jen prayer warriors or the prime example of faith in God. I have been so encouraged by their faith and hope in the Lord that He will make everything right with these babies. If I was a filmmaker I would do a movie on this whole thing because the whole story is remarkable. But I guess that shouldn't be surprising because God does remarkable things with remarkable people!!

So I do have a niece and nephew who I will see next week. Even though they are in incubators, I am still SO EXCITED to get to introduce them to their Aunt Katie. So of course, as with almost every story/blog, I will post pictures of the gorgeous little things!!!!

CAPTAIN C








Let the Summer Begin

I was fortunate to come out to Georgia and get to be at my wonderful boyfriend's promotion ceremony. Jeff is now "Captain Coverdale." I am extremely proud of him! His parents got to come out as well which was a real blessing. They are so GREAT. I can't even explain.
Jeff not only got promoted to Captain, but also received a very prestigious award called the Defense Meritorious Service Medal (DMSM.... another acronym from the military, go figure) for when he was over in Afghanistan. I didn't know much about this award, but after researching a little bit, I realized that this is a HUGE honor. I am SOOOOO PROUD OF HIM!!
I really got to know Jeff's parents and absolutely love them. We all had a really good weekend together. They have been so supportive of Jeff and me and that is a tremendous feeling.

While I am having an amazing time out here with my amazing boyfriend, I am constantly thinking about and praying for my brother and sister-in-law. Jen and Landon are having twins and Jen has been in the hospital for a week now. We want her to stay in the hospital so Kaylan and Dylan can grow grow grow and be healthy. I get daily updates from my brother and then I update Jeff on their progress. So Jen, if you are reading, Jeff and I are praying for you guys constantly!!! LOVE YOU!!
