I think every woman enjoys being pampered. There’s just something about someone else taking care of you. This is a concept that my husband is learning. The small things matter! I’ve been pampered for two days straight. How lucky can a girl get? Yesterday when I got home, Jerrad had supper cooked and ready for [...]
Update: I just got a phone call that the judge said that the child is absolutely not to go back with her birth parents right now. He will reconsider the case after the criminal charges go to trial and if and only if the mother goes to and completes rehab. Praise Jesus! Baby E is [...]
I read an excellent post today by Clayton King about depression. I’ll be transparent for a minute and admit that I have and am currently struggling with depression. My dad’s family has some history of chemical imbalances, so I’m blessed with similar issues. I realize that so much of depression is uncontrollable, but so much [...]
Yesterday, we celebrated my mom’s birthday. I would tell you how old she is now, but you’re not supposed to reveal a woman’s age. Family and friends packed up and headed to Pancho’s Mexican restaurant. Mama made her own birthday cake especially so that Katie and Will could help decorate. I will say there were [...]
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 [...]
Occasionally I come across a blog that captures me such as Audrey Caroline’s story. Recently I found Stellan’s Story. I encourage you to read this blog about a precious baby’s fight with a heart condition and his mother’s courage and strength. And I must mention how incredibly cute Stellan is! I’ve never met any of [...]
Gunner and I won 3rd on Saturday, 1st on Sunday and the Overall Prize this weekend at herding trial at Red Creek Farm in Townville.. It’s the highest we’ve ever placed in this particular class. We’ve been working and training in this class for over a year now. I’m so proud of him!
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 [...]
