My Humble Life.....

• Nov. 12, 2006 - Let me introduce myself

Since this is my first time to post on a blog of my very own, I am very inexperienced, so please bare with me! A little about my family and myself. My name is Chris and I am 26 years old, but fixin' to be 27 come January. Is it me, or do the years just keep coming faster and faster?!?!?!

 

Anyways,  I am happily married for five, going on six years in April to a wonderful guy named Rodney. We have a beautiful five year old Daughter named Sierra. We use A Beka to homeschool our Daughter in kindergarten. She loves it and so do we! My husband is in the Air Force and so we are stationed in Georgia right now. Soon, I will be starting school myself to get my associate degree starting this next semester. I have been dreaming of becoming a veterinarian technician for a long time. Looks like it's finally coming true...........FINALLY, again, I say!

My life isn't so exciting and adventurous, but it's full of family and friends that I love and we are living for the Lord and the Lord lives through us! And yes, we are blessed!

My daily routine usually consists of waking up, having breakfast with my daughter, and then homeschooling. We break for lunch, then have about another hour of school, then my Daughter's "off the hook" and I have some "me time" and get on and post on a wonderful message board for homeschooling moms who love the Lord. The Christian Homeschool Corner. Then, after I am finished posting on the message board, I spend some time with my daughter, start on house chores run errands, get ready for church, if it's Wednesday and get dinner started. If it's a Wednesday, we head to church and my daughter to AWANA Sparks and I to AWNANA Cubbies, since I am a leader in that group. Then we would head home. After dinner, and my daughter's in bed by nine o'clock, I spend time with my hubby or watch a lil' tv., then I get more night chores done and I'm off to bed! See? Not exciting! Lol. Saturday holds more opportunities for excitement. That's my day to get the laundry and dishes done in the morning and then off to shop, the movies and dinner date with hubby, or go to a friend's or hang out around the house and veg out. Whatever the mood strikes me, is what I do that day. Sunday is church and the lunch and maybe a snooze, then back to evening church and then on home to relax and rest. Such is the life of a domestic Queen! 

 

Right now, my hubby's deployed overseas and this isn't the first or the last time either. The days are more relaxed because the chores can wait, the dinner doesn't have to be as extravagant and ends up being take out or something pretty simple to satisfy my five year old's tastebuds.

But, he's coming home in time for Christmas! Yay! I praise the Lord for that, because the first time he deployed a few years back, I will never forget; he was gone from Halloween through New Years. Sooooooo, so hard on my daughter and I.

For Thanksgiving, I am headed over to a friend's and her family, who graciously invited my daughter and me, knowing full well, that unless one of our friends from church invites us, we would be alone, so bless her for taking us in and letting us be part of her family's feast on Thanksgiving!

Well, I will try to have an entry every day, but two or three times a weeks, seems more realistic for me. Lol.

Once I get the hang of what I am supposed to do here, I will try to do just that! I am a newbie! Well, I can't wait to get to know all of you. Some of you I already do from my message board, so to you all you gals, "Hello, remember me???" Hehehe.

Take care and God bless! Hugs!

My son is also 5 and we are working through Abeka, so we have some things in common. He is a SPARK this year for the first time, but I am a Spark leader so he's in my group this year - and loving being with Mommy!

Hi, Sweetie! Thanks for the welcome!
Isn't AWANA a great program for the little ones? I was asked to volunteer and since my daughter was in Cubbies the previous year, I decided I would love to, but as in all matters like this, I prayed first before deciding on it. I am so glad the Lord led me to do this! This is my first year to be an AWANA leader with the Cubbies and I think it's awesome to get to minister to the little ones. They are so young in my group, but just getting to plant that seed, even though most don't fully understand, is a blessing. Some of those children come from broken homes, and the parents use us as a free babysitting service, but as sad as it is that some parents are like that, I use that time with the children to help them learn about God and how much He loves them and then the children pass some of that along to the parents and, well, you never know, sometimes it changes the parents' life and they start attending church and turn to God..... I have heard it happen and it's such a joyous thing!
So, I bet your son just loves Sparkies! My Daughter loves "game time" and then the candy....lol. When she earned her handboook and vest, oh, she was sooooo proud! Do, your sons wear the vests out on the town on Wednesdays, too? Some people will come up and ask what it is she is wearing and that's a great way to recruit and then other times, some people know about it and they let you know how great it is!
Well, again, thanks for the warm welcome! Thanksgiving's around the corner! Any plans? Have a great week! Hugs,

for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment.

Welcome to HSB. I have had so much fun blogging. I hope my writing is improving too, but mostly, I just enjoy expressing my thoughts. It is all about finding your voice ~ Blessing to you.

PS: I was in AWANA's when I was younger. Most of the Bible verses I know now, I learned trying to get signed off for AWANA's. One more doo-dad for my sash!

Imagine my surprise when I go to check my email, and I see a comment on my blog from none other than mellohunny??? How cool is that! Welcome to blogville! You are doing great so far. Just talk about life. Once I got used to things I started sharing menus, recipes, book reviews, my daughter's story, celebrations, funny moments, etc. You just learn as you go...

Did you know you can change a setting on your comments so that you get an email every time you get one? I love that because you can click on it and it takes you straight to the comment. It's nice for when people leave comments on older posts. Just sign in, and click on "comment settings" I think it is. There is so much you can do with your blog. It's so much fun.

You are now on my friends list, and I would LOVE to be on yours. You've got some great ones on there already. Add that ccpeterson (Charity). She's a good friend of mine, and she's a dear....you'll love her!

I think I have heard of that CHC! Sounds like a great group (haha! :)) Have a great evening my dear, and I'll "see" you on the board! Welcome to HSB!!!

Love to you, Kathy
