Chelle: Hello and welcome dear one! I go by Chelle and I like to think of myself as a joy chaser. Only as a mom to four young children, joy often comes disguised as a sticky noisy mess. Thankfully, Jesus is known for taking our mess, especially the messes in our hearts and turning them into something glorious. My husband and I are coming up on our 13th anniversary and being married to him is like winning the lotto every day of my life, only better. We affectionately refer to our four as " the littles ". Annabelle is practicly 10. She is a both a deep thinker and spunky tomboy. Next up, her energetic brother Jack who at almost 7 is 159 % boy and awesome. He's got a tender heart and a fervent love for books and legos. Lucy Wren at four is our sunshine girl and is known for hugs and kisses. She hugs and kisses everyone. Constantly. With an occasional meltdown thrown in to change things up a bit. And Ruby Grace is our not so baby baby who we are all head over heels for. She is a total grace gift to our family. I adore my life and treasure hunting for joy as the moments turn to memories, with the gift of each new day.
