The next 12 months are full of big stuff for the Underwoods. My book release and Casiday's senior year are sort of the bookends to all the ink poured out on our calendars. I'm always a planner nerd ... and it's not unusual for me to switch planners if the one I'm using doesn't work for me. In fact, that very thing happened last November.

Once upon a time there was a girl who wondered how to manage all of life's chaos, all of the days' minutiae, all of her heart's dreams, and all of her mind's doubts. For years she battled with insecurity, anxiety, doubt, and worry. The calendar pages moved from year to year and every January 1st brought her a fresh determination to be different.

Lopsided Living at Christmas
Can you believe Christmas is just over two weeks away? I don't know about you but to me it really feels like 2016 has flown by. As we've been working out our holiday calendar and plans, we keep coming back to our WHY. This year it's circled back to time for just our little family of three. With the realization that Casiday's senior year is just around the corner, both Scott and I have a keen awareness of the sweetness of these how quickly the time of our girl living here with us is passing ...
