Hey there!
I have a feeling I will be writing to myself for awhile as I'm sure most of you have given up checking in for new posts.

I have kept up with my other blog www.xanga.com/hippmama but have neglected this one... not sure why...

I just got back from a Speakers/Writers Conference called SheSpeaks - it is done with Proverbs 31 ministries.  I pitched a book proposal and it went better than ok.  I'll give more details as i can. 
I was  blessed beyond belief.  Lots of good info in the workshops, and God moved mightily in my heart.  Always a little painful, but always so wonderful too.

I met some great women, homeschoolers too!  looking forward to finding them on here.

I need to get going for now- I want to hang out with my husband as I hadn't seen him since early last week. 
I'm glad to be back! 
I'll try much harder to stay up to date this time.

I was signing into HSB this morning when I noticed your avatar. I LOVE IT! My dh is also a Marine; we are currently stationed at Camp Pendleton. It sounds like you had a great time at the writers conference. I'll add you as a friend so I can come back and read about it!

Blessings,

Cindy

Hi! It was a great surprise to see your comment on my blog. I would love to share ideas and stories with you regarding our beautiful children. I will email you with more, but for now I just wanted to let you know that I received your comments, and look forward to being connected with you.

Hi there long lost friend! Good to hear from you! That's great about the book proposal. Fill us in when you get the chance!

I am glad you found a church you are happy in. I know there is one out there for us and look forward to the search. You are right, leaving small churches is tough because your absence is definitely noticed.

We are going to a community church this weekend. Pretty sure we won't end up there as their mission is to bring in the seekers, there is not a lot of teaching of those who have already found Jesus as their Lord, but they have a wonderful children's department and amazing services (skits, lots of music,etc).

I've been checking in often - I'm glad you're still out there! I'm going to bookmark your other blog if that's OK. Congrats on the book venture!
