I started this post a few days ago on a very different note. I deleted that post. I decided that I needed a few days to process and get some perspective. That perspective came this morning at church. We are visiting a new church community looking for a new home. Most of you have heard [...]
This is a question that was posed to me by a dear friend Thursday night. It really made me think. This friend of mine also happens to be a person I respect in ways she will never understand. She is a mother who lost her baby girl years ago. Her daughter was about Kyleigh’s age [...]
I have been nearly silent on this blog for a good while now. For a great many reasons I felt the need to just “be still”. Mostly because in my prayers to my Heavenly Father I felt Him telling me to be quiet, be still, just wait on HIM. So i did. I stopped talking. [...]
Yes… it was another lively weekend in the life of the Schmidt family. Thursday was Ross’ official birthday even though his party is not until the end of the month. That night, we took the kids to Chick Fil A for a quick trip to get a bite to eat, have a cake and a [...]

This has been home for us this week. I have to say that the Cleveland Clinic foundation is breathtakingly beautiful. When you pull up to the front drive it nearly takes your breath away. I always thought that Cincinnati Children’s was a magical place… I had not KNOWN what it is to be in awe [...]
Well we are here in Cleveland and although the traffic is INSANE the drive wasn’t nearly as bad as we thought it would be. Troy travels to Avon Lake which is only about 30-45 minutes west of here but somehow it seems like it takes forEVER to get there. Maybe its just because we were [...]
This may be the 20th time I have written that title. Maybe it needs its own category. LOL At any rate tomorrow is coming fast and I have been waiting for this for more than a month. At the same time I wish I had more time. It an ominous feeling to know that tomorrow [...]
Well today was the much anticipated visit with Dr. Berger (head of Neurology at UK) to discuss my brain issues. I can honestly say it was a VERY good visit. I had been pretty anxious going into this because I am trying to decide whether to go to Cleveland or not. I have an appointment [...]
