Blended, Blessed & Always A Mess

We would love to hear from you!!!

We've never planned a Celebration of Life...so obviously getting it right for our Beautiful Hallie was incredibly important. Thanks to Angie's sisters and besties...it couldn't have been a more perfect day!

In this episode, we reflect on a day that filled our hearts with friendship, love, and remembering Hallie.

Thanks for listening and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers. 

Love,
Aric & Angie

Every week we deal with a whirlwind of emotions. Some days an emotion is stronger than others. This week, anger has been at the forefront. 

A wise man was asked, "What is Anger?" He gave a beautiful answer. It's a punishment we give to ourselves for somebody else's mistake. And that's exactly what it feels like to us. 

Listen to this week's episode as we share our anger and how we are processing the hurt and the frustration of THE THIEF.    
 
Thanks for listening.

Did you know that Grief is the only emotion that you have to voluntarily choose to go thru?

Perhaps that's why SOOOO many people choose NOT to grieve...

We can honestly tell you that we are TRYING to walk thru the grief process and in this episode we talk about ways to grieve that might work for you...

Is it ever really good grief?  We're not sure...but we are trying...

Thanks for listening...

God’s grace and the special signs that Hallie is more than ok gets us through the darkest of times. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were incredibly difficult.  We received two incredibly amazing signs; one during church on Christmas Eve and one on Christmas Day.

As humans, we are incredibly limited in our understanding and perception. Only through God’s grace can we find something to rejoice about. 

Thanks for listening,

The last thing Hallie said to us was "Don't worry about me Mama, I'm going to be OK". 

While things have been incredibly heavy and we are filled with sadness, God has been good to us in that He's given us many signs that Hallie is with Him in Heaven...

The signs give us hope and keep us moving forward every day, no matter how difficult. 

In this episode, we begin to share some of the many different signs that Hallie and the Lord have sent to us in the last several weeks!

Thanks for listening and for your continued prayers! We hope 2023 brings you new beginnings.

Merry Christmas,

If we're being 100% honest this doesn't feel like Christmas in our home...we are surrounded by sadness...missing Hallie more than we can explain...

And yet the meaning of Christmas is the one reason we can hold onto Hope of seeing Hallie again one day...that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was born as a child...so that he could one day die for us and our sin...so we could be with Him and Hallie again one day in Heaven...

So in this episode we walk you deeper into what saying Goodbye to Hallie really looked like...and we remember she's walking with Jesus on this Christmas Day...

Thank you for letting us share Hallie's Story...

Love and Merry Christmas,

Aric & Angie

Thank you to everyone who has reached out and offered condolences as The Crew walks thru this unbelievably complex and life-changing set of circumstances.

The pain is unimaginable. Yet, "The sun will still rise and set regardless. What we choose to do with the light while it's here is up to us. Journey wisely".

Season 2 of Blended, Blessed, and Always A Mess begins NOW as we learn to cope with the loss of our beautiful Hallie and discover how we can shine our lights brighter.  

This episode walks you thru the fateful day that has FOREVER changed our lives...and how we are trying to navigate the suck of it all...

Thanks for listening and supporting our family during this time.

Love,

As many of you know I've been on Today's Best Country Clear 99 for most of the last 25 years...

So I couldn't go back on the air without be real and authentic (like Hallie) and share with our listeners why I've been off the air and what our family has been going thru...

Angie and I will do an entire Episode dedicated to Hallie and the light that she continues to SHINE on the world...

But this is a quick 18 minutes that I shared about our sweet girl to our radio audience in Mid-Missouri...

We Love and Miss You Hallie...

This episode should have aired one week ago...BUT God had other plans...

5 Minutes before uploading this episode about narcissism ...God had other plans...

Our world was changed forever when we got the phone call that our daughter Hallie (oldest Crew Member) had been involved in a tragic accident...why?  Because God had other plans...

This past Tuesday, November 29th, 2022 our daughter Hallie left this Earth to get her Angel Wings...we can only find comfort in the fact that God had other plans...

We couldn't record a podcast this week...we are honestly barely making it thru each day...so I finished last week's episode because long term we believe this episode will be important to many of you but also to our family...Because of God's other plans...

Please know that our plans are to continue this podcast to HONOR Hallie...and to help blended families...however...God had other plans...

So...this podcast will also be even messier to deal with Grief and Loss and Trusting God...why?  Because God had other plans...

We love each and every one of you and appreciate your support during this difficult time...

In this week's episode we were pleasantly surprised at some feedback we've been receiving lately about Chace at school...

And in a very nice twist...he's really taking an interest in becoming a leader...

This is a complete 180 from where this kid was 2+ years ago...

We hope you enjoy learning more about his journey and can possibly apply it with your own kids and bonus kids!

Love,

Aric & Angie
