I haven’t been looking for a lesson on God’s grace. I didn’t think I needed a lesson on grace…until yesterday. My father in law was fired from his job earlier this year for reasons I’ll not specify here. But I will say that he was doing wrong things at his job and had been knowingly [...]
I apologize for the terrible quality of this picture, but I took it with my phone. This is our little dog Grace, my husband’s best friend, waiting very impatiently for him to come back home. He left this morning to go hunting for the weekend. His best little friend, Grace, got excited because she thought [...]
I am exhausted…utterly, physically, mentally, and every-which-way exhausted. I’ve been battling the H1N1 virus for the last week. It has been at least 10 years since I’ve had the flu and I hope and pray it’s at least 100 more before I get the flu again. I don’t ever remember being this sick! My two [...]
Oh so much on my mind lately. I guess that’s why I haven’t blogged in several weeks. This has been the year of changes. I’ve blogged about many of those changes in recent posts. There has been so much on my mind (nothing bad) that I haven’t had the energy to put it in writing. [...]
This last week has been a whirlwind of adjustments. Many things have come naturally for Jerrad and me. He automatically assumed the outdoor chores and I took on the inside chores. I expected adjustments on routines and other everday stuff, but I wasn’t prepared for the exhaustion of caring for another person. Dont get me [...]
I don’t think anyone could have possibly prepared me for the changes that would happen within the first few weeks of marriage. I don’t think there’s a way for anyone to prepare for that. I think the bride-to-be thinks she’s prepared for it. She thinks she knows her man better than any other bride before. [...]
For our honeymoon, we spent our first night at Chateau Elan Winery & Resort. Our room was in the Spa facility…very peaceful and relaxing. I highly recommend it for people who want to get away and enjoy some quiet. Funny story-when we checked in to the hotel, they attendant explained to us that there were [...]
I don’t normally pass along stuff like this, but I have experienced Dave Ramsey’s teachings first hand and know how life changing they can be. Dave teaches a very disciplined strategy of budgeting, saving, and spending based on biblical principles. If you are at all concerned about our country’s financial future, then you should read [...]
Jerrad and I swapped out vehicles yesterday so he could borrow my lawnmower. The last thing he said to me was “Don’t let anything happend to my truck.” The irony of that is he wrecked my vehicle this morning. Fortunately it wasn’t too bad and no one was hurt. The crappy thing is that that accident [...]
For the last couple of weeks, I haven’t had any problem getting gas. Most of the stations around here have had plenty of gas except for ones right off of 123 or at a major thoroughfare. Yesterday, things changed a bit. I had to meet Jerrad at his brother’s house in Central (about 15 miles [...]
