The Schroeders

They welcomed me into their family.  They loved me and my girls.  They took care of my family when we were in need.  They were caring and generous.  The loved their grandson and daughter. 
I wish we would have asked Truman all his cooking and gardening secrets.  I wish I could have enjoyed one more squash casserole or some homemade bbq sauce.  I wish I could have spent more time with Rose. 
Reese will remember her. 
She would go to her home, when she was still living in Mart, cuddle up in the recliner with her and watch Beverly Hill Chihuahua over and over again.  My girls loved their memaw Rose.  Easter, Christmas, Halloween and other holidays just will not be the same. 
Raeleigh asked, "Why did memaw have to die?  I liked her."
The Schroeders were good people and are happily now reunited in Heaven.  Rose is reading, watching movie and gardening--she can walk and, even dance, and diabetes never crosses her mind.  Truman is bargain shopping and grilling up top-notch steaks with the angels.
They will be missed dearly.


Rose Marie Schroeder, 80, passed away Saturday, July 30, at a local assisted living home. Rose was born February 12, 1931 in Axtell, Texas to Adolph and Mary Adamek Beralek. She married Truman Schroeder in 1955 and they raised a family, and lived, in Mart for over 53 years.
Rose was preceded in death by her husband Truman, her parents, an infant sister Elizabeth, her brother Dan Beralek, and her sister JoNell Webb.
Survivors include her daughter Carol Stolle and husband Robert, son David Schroeder and wife Laurie, her brother Larry Beralek and wife Dolores, sister-in-laws Laura Keene and Alyne Beralek; grandchildren Jason Stolle and wife Rachel, Leslie Murphy and husband John, and Cody Schroeder and wife Emily. She is also survived by two great-grandchildren, Reese and Raeleigh Stolle.
The family would like to thank the staff at Meadowlands Terrace and at Texas Home Health for their extra love and care.

How to prepare for the Composite Science 8-12 TEXES certification exam

My goodness!  It has been a while since I have written.  It has been a wild few months with some great achievements, a new job, cool training, lots of studying and some awesome experiences.  What I feel to be one of my greatest accomplishments is passing the composite science TEXES exam.  So, I thought I would take the time to blog about how I prepared for it. I know that when I was getting ready to take the test, I was a bit discouraged with the lack of reliable resources about how I should prepare. Let me begin with a bit of background.  Everyone will approach this test from difference backgrounds, experience etc.  If you are right out of college with a good understanding of Chemistry and Physics as well as basic Biology concepts you may be able to barely pass the exam--but pass none-the-less.  However, if you are like me--several years removed from any sort of formal education, you are going to have to work for it.  I graduated Baylor in 2003 with a BA in Biology.  I had 17+ cours

Fear is a Liar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgnClrx8N2k Today as was trying to soak in my small window of quiet alone time with the Lord (and without kids) something struck me. This song came to mind and I was reminded that we, in our fleshly bodies, often forget who the real enemy is. What really is behind the pandemic? The rioting? The social unrest? The political posturing? The fear-mongering? The lies? The finger-pointing? The fear? It isn't your neighbor, or your president, or your neighbor or some social justice group or another country--it is our oldest and most cunning foe. Ephesians 6:12 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. This enemy often knows us better than we know ourselves. He can be persuasive and attractive and manipulative but he VERY MUCH is the TRUE enemy. John 10:10 10 The thief comes only to steal and kil

Growing our Heritage from A-Z: In Search of a Full Quiver Month 3

Here we are again, I posted this early on in our adoption Journey with A and it still holds true:  "It feels like a  Tale of Two Cities , "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times"....ALL AT THE SAME TIME." Some days are great and some are terrible, horrible, awful but the struggle is worth it.  We know that in adopting older boys we may very well be their last chance at a forever family, so we always go in knowing that the behaviors will be tough but that we will see it through.  Our resolve has definitely been tested.  However, by the grace of God and patience that surpasses all understanding,  we continue to struggle through each issue as it arises. We see massive gains yet there are still huge setbacks that require time to regain lost ground--but we are getting there.  I am 'mommy' and my husband is "daddy" and I get tons of hugs and snuggles and "I Love Yous".  A few weeks ago, after a inconceivably rough day, as I was
