Happily married for 12 years. Rog is a fulltime FireFighter, as well as the training officer for the volunteer department in our community. Firefighting is not just a job, it is a way of life - for the firefighter, as well as the family of one. It is an adjustment, an attitude you have to have. You have to be ready to let him go at a moments notice, without knowing when to expect him back home. You have to let go of your 'what-if' fears and stand proud of who he is.

as a homeschool mom...

Being a homeschooling mom to 9 year old girl/boy twins is not much easier than being the wife of a Firefighter, but God placed me here for some reason, so I might as well enjoy the ride! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Well, we are back to our normal routine now. Took us a couple of days, but the kiddos are caught up on their sleep!
Samantha moved to a new book in her music lessons and is really starting to come along. It was like an overnight thing...she is doing really well with it. I recommend her teacher to anyone here in the area who is looking for a piano teacher!
Riley is still loving guitar - he has a wonderful teacher that I would recommend to anyone as well! Riley has learned many Christian songs and right now, Mike is working with him on I Will Rise by Chris Tomlin. Samantha loves to sing that song, so before too long, I maybe doing some experimenting with my camera and the record button! Mike has let Riley pull a mic in front of him and sing into it (he let Samantha join in as well), and he has also let Riley play on one of his electric guitars - He LOVED that!
The rest of the day was spent on errands - been trying hard to watch my grocery bill - did great today- 3.3lb roast for half of original price - should bought two of them. And for some reason - I usually grab half gallons of milk because that is about all we go thru around here - well, a full gallon was only a few pennies more than the half, so as I was putting the half back, a yellow managers sticker caught my attention - I got a gallon of milk for 99 cents! BONUS! Not sure why or how- it was the only one in there - the sticker said it belonged on the milk- and it rang up the right way! That helped!!
The kiddos and I all went to church - came home with an extra and they are all playing so well! Rog is on his computer playing poker and I am uploading camping pics to FB and PB so I can share!
