The Beginning.

"Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start."

Well, hey.
My name is Rebekah.
I've always been one who loves the written word. I enjoy reading, writing and everything that goes along in between. Added to these these two interests, Social Media has been such a fun interest of mine for many years and so blogging was a natural progression when coupled with the others. With every story, you need a beginning- an introduction to your main characters and a feel for the theme of the tale. So here we go ... not sure where our tale will take us ... but here are the main characters.

We'll start with me. It's only fair. I'll be narrating this thing when the Spirit moves me.
I love my Jesus, my sweet family, my fun business, yummy food and online shopping.
In a nutshell, I am hopelessly type B, an absolute fun seeker, totally high-mercy, and am a complete fixer-upper project by the Heavenly Father who graciously picks me and points me back to Him continually.
For many years I had a family blog at www.theboonefam.blogspot.com. I loved that I could keep up with the daily happenings of having three littles at home. I grew up in a big family and never ever tire of being with my people- writing about it lets me live it again later and I know I can share it with the kids later, too- the blog allows me a place to chart all of our adventures and gives me an outlet for my writing. After several life transitions I wanted to start fresh ... a new blog all together ... so here we are.

I'm a mama to three wee ones whom I love with my whole heart. Here's a visual:

Avery

My people-loving, always-going, grace-filled first born.

Dalton

My tender-hearted, always-ballin, book-loving middle child.

Sawyer

My quick-witted, super-silly, never-still-sitting baby boy.

Oh, and I recently married the sweetest man who loves these three hoodlums and me oh-so-well and I'm just so thankful for his handsome self. He's the one keeping this show on the road. True story. 

 While my complete opposite in way too many ways, he's in short ... the best. I prayed and prayed for the Lord to bring a man and I was really specific in my request: "Lord, could you bring a man who loves You, who will be a protector and a provider; bring someone who is respected at the city gates (Proverbs 31:23), and Lord, if he could just be 6'3" that would really be the icing on the cake!"
Well ... the Lord brought Eli and should have put a bow around him. Total package.

Eli and Rebekah 

So, this is us. 

Stay tuned...
