Rick is scheduled to go in for surgery tomorrow morning at 9am EST. We will know a great deal more after this is over. Please continue to keep him in your prayers!
Posting has been light lately due to the fact that my life is consumed by work and stress. Hopefully I can get a grip on that soon and return to my normal blog-self.
Until then, here's another quote to make this post marginally inspiring. It's from one of my favorite books from my childhood, The Princess and the Goblin, by George MacDonald. At this point in the book, the Princess Irene is being chased into the forest by a horrible, ugly, toeless goblin:
"It was foolish indeed- thus to run farther from all who could help her, as if she had been seeking a fit spot for the goblin to eat her in his leisure; but that is the way fear serves us: it always sides with the things we are afraid of."

Us
We're the McDaniels!
Justin and I were married on May 19, 2006. We grew up together in Harpers Ferry/Shepherdstown, WV. Ollie was born on July 2, 2010, and Aeris joined us on September 27th, 2012. They make every day wonderful! We have a cat, Hobbes, and a Golden Retriever darling named Ruby. We love them all, despite their rascally tendencies. We're excited about life, and all that it has in store for us!

"Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." Unknown
