I am a 21-year-old First-Time Mommy to Benjamin, and Preacher's Wife to Carl and the Fort Valley church of Christ. I have been married since August 2007, and although it has been a bumpy road, it's worth it because I married my best friend. I am a stay-at-home mother and keeper at home (and I admit I am not perfect in either roles - but I am trying!). I dabble in photography and writing, when I have free time. I enjoy studying God's word and learning more about Him. I like to share my learnings here. I'm a work in progress, learning and growing every day. These are my adventures while Bringing Up Benjamin.
Check out my 365 blog: {My Blessed} Life in Three-Six-Five.
-------
His name is Carl, AKA: Hubby.
Hubby is a Gospel preacher at 22 for the Fort Valley church of Christ. He also writes a column for The Leader Tribune, the newspaper that runs here in our hometown. He is a great cook, a fantastic preacher, and my best friend in the whole world. He's a little weird, but so am I.

The Benjamin we are Bringing Up ...
Born January 2009, Benjamin is a loose cannon of boyish energy and his Daddy's curiosity. He's the friendliest baby I've ever known and loves to give kisses. The congregation loves him, and he loves the congregation. He has a few baby friends, who he adores. He watches Winnie the Pooh or Blues Clues nearly every morning, climbs stairs like it's nothing, and sings in the car and in services. He's changed our life!

Before You Comment:
Concerning any spiritual post I make or anything I may say regarding my beliefs:
I reserve the right, as the owner of this blog, to blog about what I wish and to talk about what I believe when I feel compelled to do so. You are not obligated to agree with me, nor are you obligated to read if you do not wish to do so. You don't have to comment and defend yourself if you don't feel like doing so. I always leave my blog posts up for discussion, providing it is done in a calm, Christian-like manner with love as the motive. I do not like to be ranted at and "bashed" on my own blog, and I reserve the right to delete any comment that I wish.
If you were to post a religious post on your blog, and I happened to disagree with you - I would not come in swinging if I were to come in at all. I only ask the same consideration from you.
Thank you.
