Welcome to Neumannia (A.K.A. the Neumanns)

Our story... good, bad, happy, sad, glorious, humbling, & hopefully a little hilarious... so that someday,
when it's printed (for the sake of reviving our memory & inspiring our grown children) they will have
seen Jesus in our day to day lives... because in the end, that's the secret to Real Life!

Remembering Things

So I've been thinking...I think I've been blogging my whole life, just in my head. I have a pretty good memory, or so my friends have told me. I can recall people, stories, conversations, and random facts from days gone by. The Lord gifted me that way I suppose. BUT, I think my "back-up" files are beginning to fail me. You know how people are always saying, "Write it down before you forget." I'd just smile and think well, I have my brain. But here we are. The point where I'm am beginning to forget the cute sayings of my kids, the details of what I thought were pretty life altering moments (i.e. proposal, child birth, etc...) and what is it that I like do when given the opportunity. Do you ever find yourself on pause when given a little free time... alone? Well, I do. I stand there as if I don't remember how to function and then say to myself, "Really? It's come to this?" I heard once that you lose a section of your brain with every child... a joke of course... but, it feels true! So before diving into our life in the here and now, I'm going to do a little backstory. I love this new outlet... takes some pressure off my brain!

  1. I've always enjoyed how you express yourself! It's a gift the Lord did indeed bless you with - it's always encouraged me, brought laughter to my days and reminded me what an amazing gift you are to your dad and me.
