Colleen Marie Schwartz Memorial Golf Outing

Mommy,

On September 14, 2013, we held the first and only Colleen Marie Schwartz Memorial Golf Outing! It was so much fun! The weather was nice but chilly at times, especially when the clouds covered the sun. About 50 people came out to play golf in memory of you! Everyone who signed up, showed up! Dad was so excited! I was on a team with Dad, Lindsay, and Aunt Joan. We legitimately came in last place but it's okay!

Here are some pictures from the day...

 Deb was stationed at the registration table

 Dad ordered these monogrammed tees! (it was my idea though)


 We had a picture of you at the first tee

 Before the outing started. It was so early!

 Dad and his sister

We also had a picture of you at the 18th green 


 


Mom, that's my serious golf face 

 At one point, Lindsay sunk the longest putt ever! We were all screaming! 

We definitely missed you Momma! 

After the outing was over we had a lunch to continue the celebration! Pastor Troy shared some very nice words about you. This was cool because there were people who played in our outing that had never met you! 

I love you so much and I hope that God sends you these pictures! Miss you!

Be good.
Kelsey

The Year of Running

Hello World, It's me, Kelsey. I don't actually have a plan for this post but I should start by being honest...today's day is actually February 23, 2015. This post is time-stamped back in December but I haven't gotten around to writing it yet. Today's date is significant though...exactly one year ago today I was chasing that Princess Half dream, 13.1 miles down the road. So today seems like a good day to write about my year of running. To get a clear picture of how this year of running came to be we should time travel back to June 11, 2013. The day that registration opened for the 2014 Disney Princess Half Marathon. A number of my friends and I had decided that we were going to do this. My phone reminded me all week that registration would open on June 11. When that day came, I was completely terrified. I knew I wanted to do it but the reality of it was that I really had never run more than 3-4 miles...ever. I held my breath, typed in my credit card information and h

The Hurt & The Healer

I borrowed that title from a MercyMe song. Everyone is talking about the healing that needs to take place in my heart. I have no idea what that even means. I'm not exactly sure how to identify a "broken heart". My heart is sad in ways I just can't describe. My heart is sad about little things and big things. My heart is sad because I miss my mommy. However, I don't think it's broken. You see, Jesus is in my heart and so I feel as though it can't be "broken". Without this Savior, I wouldn't have the assurance that I will see her again in heaven. I wouldn't have hope that someday my heart will be filled with more joy than sadness (like it was before). I am so thankful that I don't have to know that kind of broken heart. I am sad everyday. I wish that I didn't have to be sad and so that is what I am working toward. I'll never be able to forget about her so I can't really see how I will ever not be sad like I am right now.

Six Months

Mommy, Hi! It's a milestone month...month 6. Where has the time gone? Some days I feel as though the time passes like a flash of lightning and other times I feel like the days drag on and I become frustrated about how far away seeing you again, really is. Here come the tears. They always come. This time, they are just freely flowing out of my eyes. I can't keep up with wiping them away right now, so I am letting them slide down my cheeks, over my lips. The tears that miss my lips fall onto my shirt, but I don't mind, because this day is almost over. It is October now. October 8, 2013. Fall is here and it has now been two seasons since you passed. September was hard because you had hoped that you could stay on Earth until that month. And I feel the same way, I wanted more time with you. Momma, those extra months would have never been enough. A few days ago I read through some of the cards you sent me while at college. Here are a couple that I love... This was a
