Sadness

Life is so fragile.  I wish I was able to understand more of the complexities of life – but then I would have to be God….
A dear friend of mine lost her mom unexpectedly this past week.  It was shocking and just so incredibly sad.  I went to Connecticut to be there for her as [...]

The mystery is history. Case Closed.

The phone has been found!  A friend from church found it in a closet in the church basement… Rich went down there and must have set it down and  had forgotten all about it.  I’m just so thankful that he has it back… and he is even more thankful!   Yay!!!

Phone stories

My poor husband has lost his phone.  We can’t find it anywhere!  I keep hoping that it will turn up and become a great sermon illustration for him… you know, it could be up there with the woman who found her lost coin…well, not quite as up there, but at least a real life example [...]

tis the season

Ok so the picture still hasn’t been taken, but Rich and I have agreed on a time tomorrow morning to get it taken and over with.  Whew!  After that’s finished, the only things left to do are printing the said picture multiple times to be placed in already bought frames and then wrapped, purchase a [...]

Where’s the joy?

This morning when I woke up I had a plan.  I decided that after the kids ate breakfast I would get them all decked out in their beautiful Christmas outfits and then take their picture for a gift that we have planned for Grandparents.  I started to get stressed out while getting the girls and [...]

Day 2

I completed my Wednesday Firm workout this afternoon.  It was a lot easier to do which is encouraging.  My legs are a bit sore from Monday and today but in places that I welcome soreness.  Hopefully those muscles will continue to get stronger and then melt off the fat!  Friday is my next Firm day [...]

6 weeks

My baby boy is 6 weeks old today!  Wow.  Where has the time gone?  He’s still amazingly wonderful and doing great.  Praise God for such a sweet baby to love!

I like to move it move it…

Clean eating plus exercise (weights and aerobic/cardio) is my goal for reaching my ultimate goal!  Today began day 1 of the working out part.  I did most of the 50 minute Firm dvd – but I have to admit that it was HARD and that I could barely do certain parts of it.  My legs [...]
